managed to install 1.3patch on clean copy but i removed all my previous saves out of the save folder (which may just be coincidence that it worked but it worked )

havent attempted the mods to play all factions again since the reload happly playin Jullii

everything seems a little brighter now....

i like the feature on the campaign battles (when u have 2 or more armies) where u get to decide if your general is AI controlled, it used to make mad when a general was nearby to an army & they would come in as reinforcements cotrolled by the computer & plough straight into the enemy without a thought!!!
