You can see also campaign map there!!! And units too!!!
Campaign map size is very disappointing....

This is just stupid

Yesterday I came across this stupid bug that makes your whole army open fire at nothing at all, like light inf tend to do. I believe the cause of this bug is when you order your artillery to cease fire (by disabling fire at will). They wouldn't even stop if I disabled fire at will and moved them a bit. Also I've noticed that fire at will sometimes untoggles itself for no apparent reason.

Elephants

feeds@yuku.com (WeaponX5) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:23:04 GMT

Played a battle of British Infantry versus Marathra Elephants. It's very funny to see infantry being thrown around with rag doll physics. If only cavalry charges could do some of this stuff instead of making units slide backwards!

In the screenshot above I was flanked by some elephants and one managed to run down the entire length of my line knocking almost every soldier over... It was...

Does a surgical strike into a large empire that temporarily takes the capitol ussually kill the empire?

feeds@yuku.com (HenryClinton) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:01:23 GMT

Here is the scenario:

Playing Great Britain and at War with France and Spain. Both France and Spain have massive empires. France controls Canada, and about 2/3rds of North America. Spain has a massive South American/Carribean/African empire. This is good, it actually is a bit of a challenge. I actually lost a war for the first time, because I temporarily lost the navy arms race and had to actually give up a region to buy peace.

After a string of early defeats I am...

Why am I getting random blurry soldiers after 1.4/1.5?

feeds@yuku.com (HenryClinton) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:29:38 GMT

For some strange reason since Steam autoupdated 1.4 and 1.5 from a distance random soldiers turn into a blur. If I zoom in close enough the blur disappears with one important exception. If I push the "insert" button to see things from the vantage point of soldiers in a particular unit, random soldiers sometimes also become a blur which is extremely annoying as when they are that size it makes them look like ghosts.

This was never a problem before. Does anyone have...

Egyptian Standard Bearer

feeds@yuku.com (Dionysius the Mighty) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:59:11 GMT

I've been doing some tinkering to add more officers to units (didn't even realise there were Musicians until I looked at the Officers section of dscr_model_battle!) and I discovered that there isn't really an Egyptian officer in the form of the Greek or Roman one. All it says is 'Egyptian Officer' but above it is a note that says something like 'Bob, Egyptian Standard is pants, use chariot crew as officer.' Looking at Egyptian units, they are accompanied by a...

Battle/Map Editor When?

feeds@yuku.com (Yankee1950) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:25:53 GMT

Is there an update on when the ETW Battle/Map editor will be released? Is this still intended?

An update please.

Does killing a units officer reduce the units morale?

feeds@yuku.com (BigG) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:57:52 GMT

When a units officer gets killed does that actually reduce the units morale at all or is it pretty much just another unit loss? In reality it would have reduced the morale of the regiment as their leadership was lost.

Avatar Error ?

feeds@yuku.com (Christian Strand) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:32:17 GMT

I have noticed that this has happend pretty often for the last few months what i can remember.. Im talking about the avatars that wont show, it just says "avatar". Here is a picture if you dont know what i mean;

Is this "problem" yuku related or is it just for me, maybe that im using Firefox? I have Firefox 3.5.

Installation Issues

feeds@yuku.com (Montbrun) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:42:42 GMT

I decided to re-install "Rome: Total War," but encounter the following error message when attempting to install (disk 1): "Error 1305. Error reading from file C:\Games\RomeTW\Data\sounds\Voice1.dat. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it." This is the exact same computer that this game was installed on, and removed from, previously. I'm using Windows XP.

Any suggestions?

Reclose Gate

feeds@yuku.com (jshmo) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:22:58 GMT

Is there a way to reclose the gate of a castle/city you are defending after you've sent troops out through it? During one of my games I sent out some cavalary to attack seige equipment, but could not figure out how to reclose the gate when they returned.

Thanks,
JShmo

Sieges

feeds@yuku.com (johncross21) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:03:03 GMT

I am having some trouble with sieges

I am fighting the welsh at carnarvon (third turn in this campaign)

they have 2 spears, 3 longbow and a peasant

I have 2 peasant archers, 2 generals, 1 hobilar and a mailed knight

if I play on automatic resolve I win (why ?)

but its difficult on the field. their long bowmen shoot up my approaching ram and then my cavalry don't have space to get round their spearmen. also the cavalry won't charge in...

Do factions get destroyed pretty fast

feeds@yuku.com (AGF) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:09:06 GMT

I ordered Empire total war yesterday, so i haven't played it yet, but i have done some reading about it. One of the things i have read is that there is a lot fewer cities compared to the other games. I have also read that there is a lot villages and importen buildings in the map, but to get control over a region you got to capture the region capital. My question is;

Do factions get destroyed fast when there is so few cities?

Otherwise the factions will expand their...

Where are all my Cardinals

feeds@yuku.com (johncross21) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:49:40 GMT

I'm playing as the English and I need to get my voting strength up . How many cardinals should I have. I suppose it depends on how many provinces but what else effects it. Is there a limit of one per nation. Others seem to have more than one.

English Campaign - Happening Slowly

feeds@yuku.com (johncross21) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:44:27 GMT

My first proper game on Medieval Total War. After 132 turns I have 23 regions - the British Isles, Northern France, Lowlands, Scandinavia and Rhodes/Crete/Cryprus

I could capture Jersulem from my Island Fortresses but with only 94 turns left and 22 regions (correction, thanks) to conquer I think that time is running out. Let me know if this is too pessimistic

I don't really want to start again unless I have to because its a fair bit of...
