Can't get the idea of this mod off my mind...

[Kaidonni]

Well, I'll have to be careful about Patrician, because I have MTW: Gold, so since as it's not for VI, my copy might not take too kindly to the mod. I'm still thinking things through, about whether or not to pursue the idea of the mod. I'll get back to everyone shortly.

Patrician V1.2 The Birth of Rome


Author: King David
Strategic Fiction
Version 1.2
Date: 01/04/03


Installation:

This modification will change many aspects of your Medieval Total War game.
If you play MTW on line or do not want to overwrite your current game
folder,
It is adivisable that you copy your entire MTW Game to a separate location
and install this mod into
The Original Unmoded (Unchanged) Version 1.1 (Patched version) of MTW.

1. Unzip your Patrician V1.2 to Desktop or your favorite spot in your drive.
2. Simply click on the Patrician V1.2 selfinstall to install into the ORIGINAL
V1.1 (Patched) MTW.
3. Run the Game - Select Dificulty (My Fave is Centurion)
4. On Campaign Screen Select Patrician V1.2 to play the Mod.
5. Select your favorite faction. You can scroll down to view all the factions.

Dos and Don'ts
DO NOT Try to play Patrician on your original EARLY HIGH OR LATE campaigns
without first replacing
the modified unitprod11.doc file and the Patrician Campaign files. Your game
will crash do to the fact that most
factions are Pagan.
You can play Patrician with your original EARLY HIGH AND LATE campaings if you
use the original unitprod11.doc
file in your MTW root directory.
Example: Original Unitprod11 file and EARLY HIGH LATE campaigns must match to
play.
Pat Campaign with Pat unitprod11 and MTW campaigns with original unitprod11.doc
file.
If you own Patrician V1.1 I suggest you back it up and store it in a safeplace
just in case you dont like V1.2 or
just feel nastalgic enough to return to it.
If your game crashes, Try replacing the unitprod11.doc file with the original
and play the mod with your original early
campaign to see if it works for about 100 turns. Then contact me at the Total
War.org Forums\Dungeon\patrician available
thread and give me a detailed specific account of what you did and what
happened. Thank you.





Background:

Patrician is a modification of Creative Assemblies Medieval Total War game
set around 390 BC douring the
Early Roman Republican Era when Gaul was recorded to have invaded Rome. Altho
Patrician has many historycal
similarities to that period it will not be entirely accurate but fictional.



Known Issues:
You may get better performance if you crank down the unit size to default in
your performance screen.
SICILIAN MISTRESSES wont show up till about 20 turns into the game and some may
end up in the circus maximus
as Thracian Gladiators even tho the message board says they are available early
in the game.
The game may slow down later in the game (Arround AR190) as your armies grow
larger altho I think I managed to balance that out after
testing it. Usualy this will manifest while the AI opponent goes into thinking
mode sometimes as long as a minute looking
like a game freeze but its not. I think this is attributed to massive faction
armies on the campaign map mode.


Portraits
Patrician V1.2 has some of the most elaborate unit portraits ever created for
MTW. It is sugested that you apply them
as follows after install:
Total War\Medieval-Total War\Campmap\Portraits
Pagan\General\25 to 62 delete them
Catholic\King\ Just keep King01. Delete the rest
Catholic\General\Just Keep General01 to General26. Delete the rest
Catholic\Pope\ Just keep Pope01. Delete the rest
Orthodox\king\ Just keep king01 Alexander the Great
Orthodox\General\General01 and 02 you can keep. Get rid of the rest
You can also copy the princess folder from the catholic folder into the pagan
faction folder.

I for one would like to see your mod materialize,Kaidonni. I was really enthusiastic when I got RTW, then disappointed when it didn t run properly. Now it does run and Im doubly disappointed with it as a game.

So I m really with you, cheerleadingwise but unfortunately Im no modder.
