The Will of the Senate - out of character thread II

**Death the destroyer of worlds** · 07-10-2006, 14:09

For those upper house senators who want to become lower house senators :

The new (and probably final) version of RTR, 1.6, has come out. Unfortunately this means that the original links to RTR 1.4 and the upgrade to 1.5 are down. I've requested the links will be reinstated in some way or other and will keep you informed. We will not be using the new RTR 1.6 as I am not confident it is savegame compatible.

If getting the old files becomes a big problem for anyone, let me know and I will investigate whether the Org can host them. But let's try DDW's way - getting the providers to keep them up - first.

If we can't get an alternate download source, I will upload my copies to Rapidshare for people to use.

I found an interesting comment on the settings for rebel spawn value.

Quote 1 :

To the original question, it's in data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt. However, this value appears to do NOTHING in 1.2-based mods, so if you're using RTR Gold it will not have any effect on your game whatsoever. It is fixed with the 1.5 patch, however, but note that you need to increase the value in order to lower the chances of brigands/pirates spawning. It's a bit backwards I know, but that's the RTW engine for you...

Quote 2 :

The higher the number, the less rebels. I put mine to 1000. No more brigands or pirates.

So it seems I was wrong and it does have an effect after all. It was just my mistake to decrease the spawn value, thereby increasing the amount of rebels

It seems I'm spamming like crazy

Umm... I'm confused.

So we're upgrading to 1.5, with the Metropolis, Naval, 4TPY and Landblock mods right?

I can't find the landblock, the link is broken.

Hey guys, I didn't get to play the campaign over the weekend, but it's underway now. First report probably tomorrow.

As far as the discussion about difficulty on the last page goes, I'd agree with econ's assessment that we should stay away from numerous full-stack armies. I've done some reogranization, and by the time I'm done, Legions should be strictly half-stack, and I reckon I won't activate the Consular Army unless there's a really major offensive. In any case, don't be surprised if you fight your next battle with half the troops you fought your previous battle with.

1. Install RTR 1.4
2. Upgrade to 1.5
3. Install the M&N mod (a new version is coming out as I write this, so make sure you do not have the latest version, but the one before that.)
4. Install the landblock
5. Delete all map.rwm files in the Total War folder (and its subfolders)

The 4TPY mod, latest EDU's, Command Bonus mod and whatnot is already included in the M&N mod, so you do not need to install it seperately.

The moderators were not about to host 600MB of outdated files on their machines and I can't blame them.

I think it might be best if we uploaded all the files to RapidShare so we have stable access and links to the correct files. I have everything on my machine so I will start uploading tonight after I figure out how it works :)
