Samurai Warlords XIV

[Puzz3D]

OK, my fault for not checking that you had the custom maps Warman. Your STWmod worked using the standard MTW maps. Installing the maps to the \battle\maps subfolder wouldn't corrupt your install. All that would do is put the maps in \battle\maps\battle\maps. You could cut and paste them from there up to \battle\maps and delete the extra \battle\maps stub.

Remember, when you install MTW + VI you then have to apply the v2.01 patch before you install the mod. The best thing to do is keep an MTW/VI v2.01 install that you don't change, and just copy the whole thing to a new folder and install the mod on that. That way you never have to install MTW/VI more than once. Then make a shortcut to the medieval_tw.exe, and put -strictserver (leave a space in front of the "-") as an argument on the target line of the shortcut. You can also put -ian if you want to use unlimited camera for watching replays (you can go as high as you want with the camera for a nice overview). This is disabled in multiplater.

Here are two replays of nice 3v3 battles we had on Sunday.

R'as,

I'm sorry I ruined that game for you where you were my ally by rushing. The combination of that giant hole in the middle of the map, the desert terrain and the hill I had to attack frontally because of the hole was all too frustrating for me. Perhaps better would have been if I went left to double Tomi and have you fall back, but I don't consider battleplans that require a lot of maneuvering on a desert map because of the high fatigue rate.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Sorry I could not make it. had to take this major test for school, took 3-5 hours,never would have made it in the first place :-( :-(

[R'as al Ghul]

Yes, you totally ruined it.

Nah, I just thought if you had said anything we might have made it together, conquering that hill would've been nice. But I wasn't mad or anything.
But, please can we never again play that map? This hole was just ridiculous.

All other games were fun. Especially the rainy one where I thought the whole time: "Where's everybody?.... Must be a lot of fighting on that other flank....Where's the rest of Tosa's army?" And we had about 1200 or more completely useless teppos on the field, stoically holding the line for the whole time of the battle, waiting for the rain to stop......... which never happened.
The best thing was that I only lost 86 men during that battle. I'll try to improve that further.
Really, I had great fun yesterday. Thanks for the games.

Every game that I lost yesterday had CBR on the opposite team. I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this.

But you're right R'as. Win or lose, better communication leads to more satisfying battles, and I'll work on that part of my game.

Hmm, how do I download this thing to play on MP...and which version? I've been playing the beta 7 on single player while waiting for MTW II. Now that the early feedback makes it look like MTW II still has some issues that need to be fixed before it's worthwhile on MP, I thought I might give this thingy a try if you have room for one more. Of course I will need lots of help as I started playing MP with Viking Invasion and never played STW online.

Tomi,

in which stage are we now and who did win yesterday?

R'as

Well, I guess that was Samurai Warlords XV

The highest kills score for the day goes to Tosa with 1024.

But with a total losses of 536, only leaves a score of 488.

That was very good, but not good enough to beat CBR’s 568.

Congratulations CBR, Lord of Province Eighteen

I will catch up on the map soon.

Still two more provinces up for grabs

P.S. Great to have Angus in the mix Sunday. Some great battles

Greetings everyone! Just wanted to pop in and ask if ya'll are saving replays of your battles? If so, would it be possible to obtain them? Would love to see them and possibly pick up some pointers.

Cheers!

Whoops, sorry, nevermind!

I just found the thread with the replays in it. Link in case others stumble on this and don't make my mistake:

Five replays from last Sunday and two from the prior Sunday are in that thread. That's all we have right now using the 11b Stats.
