Thread: Unit bug in MTW

    Default Unit bug in MTW

    I palyed Medieval Total War happily on my old computer -- then got a new system with Windows XP and started running into problems. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times but keep running into the following:

    1. I can't make Longbows or Billmen as the English. Yes I built all the buildings. Ships don't seem to upgrade either.

    2. Tried the Spanish -- still no upgrades from the archery workshop/guild/master. Do get better cavalry, though.

    3. Recurrently, once I get to a fine, climactic of enormous size after 40-80 years, the screen gets f___ed up and I can't see anything. Essentially, i can draw mouse tracks all over the screen but that's about it.

    Parenthetically, I have patched to 1.1. The above problems have occurred mostly while playing on the 'expert' setting -- although I don't see how that could be causing them.

    What year are you in? A lot of units, definitely including Billmen and Longbowmen, can't be built until 1205, when the High era hits.

    Hmm... That could well be it -- although I know I used to build these types in the early era. I suppose the same would apply to crossbows, arbalests, et al.

    There was a bug in unpatched M:TW that let you recruit high and late era units in early. The 1.1 patch fixed this.

    Welcome to the Org, BTW .

    Aha! I *knew* I'd been able to train Mamluk Cavalry when I first got the game! I was finally starting to convince myself I'd just imagined the whole thing....

    Oh yes, and welcome to the Org, Colin Wright.

    Thanks. 'Fixed?' I was quite happy with the bug. Well, I suppose I could get it back. Just don't patch...
