Year limit fix

[Luke1212]

i recently downloaded the patchit software pack to make the game not stop at the year 1452 but when i run it the error message i get is

Unable to open the file Late.cpg
in the directory \Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\SaveGames
Access is denied.


TEST NOT SUCCESSFUL

1) I have renamed the save file to Late.cpg
2) I am using the Late_era_patch file

Thanks in advance

If you start a NEW game, you can set the end date easily without having to use batch files:

Go to this file:

C:\Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\campmap\startpos


Then add the last line below (in bold) to your game file (EARLY, HIGH, LATE):


SetStartDate:: 1087
SetPeriod:: EARLY
SetEarlyPeriodStartDate:: 1087
SetHighPeriodStartDate:: 1205
SetLatePeriodStartDate:: 1321
SetGameEndDate:: 1600

When I tried putting this in all it did was make it so I cant choose anything past the difficulty setting, after that the options just disappear. HELP!!.. . . . I dont even wanna play the game with that stupid time limit.

Your PM box is full

Just remove what you added to the file (so it is the way it was before you added the extra lines).

I just don't understand why your game won't load. My game works prefectly with the additional info in it.

Do you have VI installed?

[Darkranger]

Vi??

[Darkranger]

Oh the explantion. no I dont have that.

I think we have our answer

I would strongly suggest getting the VI expansion - it's very cheap now and includes a ton of new stuff, including the fact that you will need it to play most of the mods here.

Carry on...

VI stands for Viking Invasion, sorry :)
I think it is needed to use the year limit fix, as it is used only in the expansion by CA.
