ChivalryTW Early Era RELEASED + MP Screenshots

[SomeNick]

I was just about to download and saw that there is no SP campaign :( Excellent looking mod though and great work guys. Is there many online who use it? If so I will certainly download it anyway.

I'm still a newbie mod user by the way! So, be nice.

Thanks again for your great work.

P.s. Can't wait for the SP campaign!

[Lord Adherbal]

There are still custom and historical battles for singleplayer, just no campaign. I don't think anyone plays this version online anymore because the dev team and beta testers (= the bulk of the multiplayers) have moved on to the next private beta.

[caesar44]

Any news about the single camp' ? what about the distribution of the factions in the camp' map ?

[Lord Adherbal]

were's planning a campaignmap preview soon, probably in a week or so

[LeftEyeNine]

Sorry but, here comes an absolutely dumb question :

Is it impossible to play unmodded RTW after installing a Mod ? With or without Mod Switcher program ?

[Lord Adherbal]

only if you use the modswitcher, or make a copy of your RTW folder and install the mod in that.

[LeftEyeNine]

Which way is more error free ?

[Lord Adherbal]

a copy is more save, cos if you screw up the modded folder, you still have your untouched RTW folder. If you use Modswitcher and something goes wrong (for example: no more diskspace halfway through installing a mod) then your folder is messed up, and you'll need to reinstall RTW.
So a combination of both is best. Keep an unmodded RTW folder, and use the Modswitcher in a copy of it (so you can play all the mods you want using that copied folder, and you always have a backup of RTW vanilla)

Some issues I noticed this weekend playing the public beta once again:
Your feudal foot knights change the way they hold their shield if you zoom a bit away from them ( I suppose it´s the medium and low poly model being displayed then). And the chivalric knight model has a sword animation, but no sword as a secondary weapon, I know the AI doesn´t use secondary weapons of cavalry, but I like to see my own knights doing so.
And what happened to your norman men at arms, you´ve got the model and texture, but they´re not used in the game

[L'Impresario]

Am I the only one who hasn't seen the 0.27b's unit files:p
IIRC norman maa are actually there, I think you confuse it with other units used only with a certain historical battle.
And why would chivalric knights be in the early era I wonder heh

[Lord Adherbal]

norman maa were removed cos they wouldn't be any different from any other maa. Why have the same unit twice with a different name.

[LeftEyeNine]

Adherbal,

Should we expect some version leaps to get the final release of this Mod. Because you know, The BI expansion is coming and this can enlengthen the hot lifetime of RTW for another 6 months at most. Considering the progress being at 0.27b, I think you must be preparing a great deal of modded stuff instead of releasing everything prepared immediately ?

Beta test is a vital part but the next release should reach some halfway point, don't you think ?

My favor for this Mod goes since it resembles my beloved MTW.

I aprreciate your great effort and present my kind regards,

LEN

[LeftEyeNine]

By the way, is it possible to change the badges in circle that represents the faction and runs in order after you press the "End Turn" button ?

[Ciaran]

No, the cas name is norman_manatarms, and it looks like the armoured spearman but has a sword, that´s the one I´m refering to.

L´impressario: The Chivalric knights weren´t actually put in the game, but the cas files and textures are in the download pack, dito for Gothic Knights, Gothic Pikemen and Pavise crossbows, and, well I took the liberty of trying them.

I'm not sure what you mean. The latest private beta is labeled v0.31c, the next public beta will probably be around v0.35. It'll basicly be a full version, but only featuring the Early Era.

yes it is - the campaignmap isn't supposed to be played in 0.27 so I wouldn't bother though.

[LeftEyeNine]

Erm.. The campaign map mode is a lot of fun, is it too difficult to process that mode ?

[boastj]

I'd love to play this MOD but I don’t know what to do with the files and the mod switcher didn’t seem to work, could you put it into a setup file or something.

Hi folks!

I just downloaded the mod & its patch but did something stupid.

I had a 1.2 version of RTW but w/ninja cool's historical mods which I deleted as well as the bug fixer by player 1 and CVP patch/switcher also which I removed.

I have 2 questions:
1. Is the starting screen supposed to be red with "CHIVALRY TOTAL WAR"
on it?

2. Even though first_time_played:False I still have greyed out historical
single player, etc. buttons per se.

How do I fix #2 screw up and am I right for question #1.

Sorry, I thought I could monkey with it and get everything to work but its failed for me. Not a "clean" install.


Thank you for your help

Hellas1

[Lord Adherbal]

you are certain that it reads exactly like this:
FIRST_TIME_PLAY:FALSE

in preferences.txt in your RTW root folder. I really don't see any other reason why those options would be unavailable.

[hellas1]

Hi Adherbal!

thanks for your response sir. I'm all set

I couldn't clean up the modded RTW I had so I deleted it and started all my mods over again, since most of them will be for 1.3

By the way, If I download the CTW early era and patch will I have to reinstall them later? I don't know if CTW is for RTW 1.3 or not.

Awaiting your response, Hellas1

Proud supporter of Byzantium Total War! Na Zisi I Ellas!

[Lord Adherbal]

the future version will require an unmodified version of BI - or Rome 1.3 for battles only (no campaign).

[hellas1]

Does this mean that CTW won't have a campaign or campaign's at all?

Thanks!

[Lord Adherbal]

the RTW 1.3 version will not have a campaign, the BI version will

[RTK-Viktor_of_Astaroth]

the RTW 1.3 version will not have a campaign, the BI version will

Hey ad.? matey...by any means, can you tell us the release date of the sp CTW.?

So far, them screenshots look really good.
cheers.

[torguskhan]

that stupid link doesnt even work!!!

[GaugamelaTC]

Torgushkan no need to get rude, adherbal and the team have put in hours if not days of work in to this mod. I myself played it, but I had to uninstall R:TW. I want to re download it but the link comes up with some belgian website. Adherbal, is there a way to get round this?

BTW love the mod. Fantastic
