Thanks for the tip, JK. I had no idea about that... Makes me wonder how my save game list would look... Would a saved game from NTW, for example, show up next to a save game from a vanilla MTW campaign? That is, I wonder what the relationship is between the MTW icon (program starter?) and the rest of the files in the folder... (Alas, so many questions, so little time: I really don't know squat about programming and such...) Also makes me appreciate the importance of my MTW:VI CD: what in the world will I do if it should ever not work? Total War withdrawal must be a very unpleasant sickness...hope I never experience it.
