Hi everyone.

My name is Mike, and I'm a game-aholic.

I've been playing MTW on-and-off since the "Battle Collection" edition came out, but I have been playing video games almost my whole life.

I haven't played for almost an hour now.

Aren't we all ?

I haven't played for almost an hour now.

You've wasted an hour ?! What are you still doing here, reading this reply ?!

Get back to your game, faster !

Oh yes, welcome to the org. GeneralMikeIII !

[Darren_Shan]

LOL!

Actually I have a question, but idk if this is the right thread. Aah, o well, here it goes anyway.

I have been making a mod for MTW, and it basically just has a new faction (the Mikese; I know, I even almost stun myself with my own creativity, but I am so creative I can foresee it happening and thus avoid being stunned) and some new units for said faction. I'm not too artistic, so I just used the unit graphics for other units (Ex. I used the Swiss Armoured Pikemen artwork for my pikemen unit, and the Lancers artwork for my bodyguard unit) and renamed them and fooled with the stats a little bit. The thing is, I gave them all pavises to use as shields, but since I just copied everything for the artwork, most of the units don't have the pavises on the battle map.

I was wondering, could explain to me how I could get my units to carry around a pavise on the battle map (I don't care too much about having it in the other places, like the strategy map unit descriptions or uniticon panel)? Along the same lines, I gave all my cavalry swords instead of the lances they would usually have, so could I get the lances to go away and have them fight with swords instead? Lastly, I took the javelins away from the Spanish Jinetes and gave them bows instead (this one is really funny; they pick up a javelin, make a throwing motion with it, and an arrow flies out of the middle of the spear ); can I make the bows show up too?

Greatings!

Another noob here, started playing a week ago, yes years later there is STILL someone starting with Rome total war, this game is awsome.

Just wanted to say hi, you seem like a great bunch and I'm hoping to be a productive and suporting member of the comunity (or not)

A Moderator shall be along presently, A bit like a traffic cop. They will help you post in the appropriate forum.

Welcome

EDIT: your MOD sounds cool btw.

[edyzmedieval]

Welcome all n00bs.






























Fell like home.

[Darren_Shan]

indeed welcome guys :D

[edyzmedieval]

I want women.

Strange though, we only have about 5 women on the whole forum.

[bowrestt]

Hello to all. Trying to learn much about shogun. I lost my manual for shogun total war, Warlord edition. I have no access code, is tehr anything i can do??????????????? Help

[GeneralMikeIII]

Welcome bowrestt and everyone else. Sorry, I don't have Shogun so I can't really help you out, but I'm sure someone will be along soon that can give you a hand.

Another question I came up with: How do I get an Avatar that isn't one of the default choices? I have this one that I use in the Civfanatics forums and AIM and I'd like to use that here too, but I didn't see a place for custom Avatars. Can I use an Avatar that isn't one of the default ones?

Hmm...It seems like traffic cops only come around when I Don't want them too, but I guess I'll wait and see.

I tried posting in the MTW modding forums, there was even a thread for "New Patrons: Ask your questions here" but I couldn't post there either .

EDIT: your MOD sounds cool btw.

Thanks. There were a few things I wanted to change (like the stupid thing where you can have the right building to build crossbows but can't actually train them until 1205), and I figured while I was at it I should make a couple more things different, mostly so the game fit my play style better.

[GeneralMikeIII]

Gah!! What do you mean I can't edit my posts?!!?

Fine, guess it's a new post then...

Another mod related question, just in case someone comes around who can help me with this (and so I don't forget what it was I wanted to ask again ). Is there any way I can get my generals to stop dying of old age? I still want my king to do so, because that has an impact on the actual game play. All that happens when a regular old general or an heir that no longer has claim to the throne dies is the unit gets renamed and there is a new picture when you click on the army. The vnv doesn't change any, and the unit count doesn't go down any, so I don't really see a reason for generals to die of old age (other than for more realism I guess, but then again the player is some omnipresent being that is aware instantly of everything going on in his realm, and can force the group of 25 peasants to charge uphill at the formation of knights, and I don't see that as being too realistic, its even a little bit of why I like the game). This isn't something I would usually rant about, but I hate it when I finally start realizing what all my generals are good for, then they die of old age and I have to learn all the new names. Plus, I think a 400 year old El Cid would be pretty cool.

Hi fellow TW fans. I'm actually a long time reader of this forum and I may have registered at one point years ago but can't remember.

I've played TW since 2000 and still play all three games (inc expansions) regularly. I tend to play vh/vh full campaigns and I think I've played all factions. I'm really looking forward to MTW2.

hey all - noob to the forum, not to the game though - played MTW constantly for the last few years, but am just getting into RTW/BI in the last month or so.

Great forum you have here, never thought much about the complexity of the game until I read some of the mechanics posts - great stuff
