Important Disclaimer

We are confronted with a 'freeze bug' that seem to happen at the end of large MP or SP games, near the end of the battle. So far we have not been able to locate and find the problem. Therfore we release the Austrian Patch 'as it is', so actually consider this as an open Beta! So we invite players and modders to find and solve this problem, any help and participation will be highly appreciated.

This is also the last release on the RTW engine, so NTW2 ends here. Good news is we hereby release NTW2 to all modders and modding groups who want to use it as a base to build further on NTW2 or use it to any other timeframe or any other sabre and musket game. Only restrictions are, we would like to be notified on forehand and mentioned in the credits afterwards when NTW2 will be used as a base for another mod.
From now on NTW2 is open and free of use to anyone.

Thank you all for the support and especially our loyal fans who make the NTW community so special.

We have stopped working on NTW2 and go to our next project, that already has started. We will release news about our future plans in the beginning of the New Year, sooner if possible. It will surprise maybe some of you, but it will be much more exciting than our past projects, I can assure you that.




The Lordz are very proud and pleased to announce the NTW2 Austrian Pack. This is a patch, you need the NTW2 Full Install v0.2.6 already installed on your computer. You need Rome Total War v1.5 to run this mod.
