    Default so, returning to this game...

    Haven't played in a long time, have Dec off, so got Kingdoms off ebay and intend on returning and playing as much as possible...


    There are still a few things I'm still unclear about, despite searching:

    1. patches/updates; what do I need, and where to find them?
    ---MT2 > Kingdoms > then what?

    2. Also, (assuming Kingdoms/patch doesn't cover it) what are the best fixes for:
    -- 2-handed weapon bug
    -- group formation/fighting
    -- charging
    -- chasing routing units
    -- moral/every single unit fighting to the last man
    -- seige issues

    -- any other thing that many consider 'mandatory' and was in RTW, but not in MT2, and may be addressed in a community patch/fix/mod


    thanks

    1. Kingdoms patched to 1.4, links are found on google. edit: i felt like providing at least one link: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...39&postcount=1 for patch.
    2. I would suggest either the 2 hander modfix by FactionHeir (In the vanillamod subforum hosted mod) or the other one (found by searching the citadel)
    For others, I dont think they can/are fixed outside of a major mod at least
    For morale, just preferences.txt and turn morale off.

    Awesome, thanks!

    I actually just built a fairly high-powered system for my videography, and I can't wait to play MT2 at full resolution, full detail, etc.!

    Oh, December can't get here fast enough!

    These ones are tricky, and can't really be completely fixed I think, but they can at least be partially compensated.

    See here for some slight further details.
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.

    Well, finally got around to playing this, and 2 issues:

    1. the install was troublesome. It finally did install, with patches, sortof, I guess...

    2. playing Britannia campaign, as Irish. Every time I try and battle, I get the eternally-spinning hourglass, or just a black screen with the cursor, before it ever cuts to the battlefield mode.

    FOR GOD'S SAKES!!!

    I think CA was just trying to test everyone's patience with this game.

    Did you patch it correctly, and in the right order? it goes 1.2-1.3,1.4.

    I haven't got a clue about the Britannia battles, sorry

    Well, I was wondering about that, and was reading here about it tonight...

    So which is it?

    MTW2>Kingdoms>then what? What is the EXACT and SPECIFIC order? It looks like many say to skip a patch. (is it 1.1?) Are they all after Kingdoms, or some before? Btw... THIS IS ABSURD!

    thanks


    ps. I HOPE LIKE HADES I don't have to reinstall this thing. My God, there goes my afternoon! (they say SW:TOR could easily be 30GB install. Good Mithras!)

    I think you might have to uninstall kingdoms I'm afraid, but not the original. Then get patches 1.2 and 1.3 (I think you might need to reinstall kingdoms for 1.3 although im not entirely sure)
