Chivalry: Total War public beta released

**Lord Adherbal** · 05-30-2006, 18:03

yes, just RTW patch 1.5

**Dead Knight of the Living** · 05-30-2006, 19:02

I'm definitely behind the times. I thought RTW 1.2 was the most recent. Didn't even know there was a 1.5. OK. Thank you for the info.

Can you go on Crusades in Chivalry like in MTW?

**KonstantinosXI** · 05-30-2006, 19:49

not yet, but i think there will be a mini-campaign for the crusades...hope my reply is good...

Your forums don’t seem to be working, so I might as well say it here.. I can’t seem to start a campaign. Each time I try, I just get redirected to the main menu. Is this a known problem, or is it just a faulty download? In which case..

Bloody downloads..

You can get it to work through the minor campaigns option, though it seems that reinstalling will also make the grand campaign work as well (I don't know why that makes a difference).

Sounds good.

I just installed Chivalry last night. I'm playing as England right now. I figured that'd be the easiest faction to use to learn the nuances of this mod.

I have a couple questions for anyone who knows. Basically, I'm just trying to make sure this mod is working right.

Most of the unit types I am able to create now have very low attack values. The highest I believe is 5 and that is from one of my cavalry units.

Is that right? 5 seems awful low. But the defense values are triple the attack values. A couple of the foot units only have an attack value of 1 and defense value of 3.

Is that how it's supposed to be. I'll have to create an army of mangonels to go on any offensive as their attack value is like 50 or 60 something.

Final question for now. I wasn't given the option to select any of the Moslem nations. Can they be modded to be playable or is there a way to unlock them during gameplay?

That's how it is for me, so I suppose it's right.

In this file at the top should be a list of playable factions then below a list of non-playable ones. Cut and of the muslim factions you'd like to play with into the playable section. Something like this:

Code:

playable
	gauls
	britons
	germans
	romans_scipii
	romans_senate
	carthage
	dacia
	numidia
	spain
	scythia
	parthia
	pontus
	armenia
	thrace
	greek_cities
	macedon
	egypt
end
unlockable
	 
end
nonplayable
	seleucid
	romans_brutii
	romans_julii
	slave

a) The minor campaign is the same as the Grand Campaign, the problem is that if you play through the RTW.exe that I screwed it a bit so it doesn't work in 0.34; you could also install 0.34a and play with that.
b) Small attack values just make a lower killing speed, and if all units have low attack values it doesn't change anything else really.
c) You can mod the muslims in but they don't have a tech-tree or something yet.

Talking about low attack values, I´ve noticed that archers actually have a higher melee attack than any other (western Europe) infantry unit, save the foot knights and maybe the axemen.

**alpaca** · 06-01-2006, 18:19

They have 1.
Their missile attack is higher than 1 though ;)

**redriver** · 08-05-2006, 03:14

the download link's broken.. are there mirror links?

EDIT: nm found one :)

**redriver** · 08-08-2006, 00:16

would be awesome if senate was somehow converted to represent Pope and give ai and player missions for certain factions or if ya join Pope somehow. don't know if it's even possible though....
