Empire: Total War Mod Discussion

Family Lines in Empire and Medieval too...

feeds@yuku.com (Beleg Kuthalion) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:03:24 GMT

Hello,

I live in Greece, I've played all Total War games exept of one or too expansions (Shogun ftW!!!), and I now own Rome: Total War, Barbarian Invasion, Medieval II: Total War (Colector's Edition) and Empire: Total War...

...And I would like to make a question to anyone who believe he can help me: Is there an (easy) way for me to somehow choose, in all of these three games, whom I like to be the next in line leader of my faction??

I mean, in Empire for...

Modifying graphics options

feeds@yuku.com (Sir Legend) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:56:23 GMT

G'day Modders,
I have been posting this in the tech support forum without much luck, maybe it's more of a modding question? Or maybe just nobody cares?

Hey guys,
I had to delete my scripts folder with 1.5 to clear an installed mod, and everything is now running well with no CTD.

But I had a workaround in there to allow me to run some of the graphics settings on...

Orange uniforms and change the faction name

feeds@yuku.com (EmperorWilhelmus) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:16:43 GMT

Is there a mod that have changed the United Provinces uniform colour from the too bright blue to the orange uniforms on the campaign map? If not - is this a way to do so in the files or something? And another thing is there a way to change the faction name (United Provinces to Netherlands) ingame? If not can you do it in the files?

Thanks!

is darthmod still good despite all the problems

feeds@yuku.com (typhoon101) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:07:39 GMT

guys ive been wondering now since i have been playing darthmod over the months. is it actually really good. i mean, what does it do good except double the unit size so that there is 300 men in a regiment of foot. because there are many other problems. now less than half of a unit actually fits in a building, and then the breaking window animation is cancelled out because of the increased range. all of a sudden you have rifles poking through solid windows. and there are more problems. such as...

Whats the easiest approach i can take to totally "NERF" Poland + Marathas?

feeds@yuku.com (politicalchimp) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:09:29 GMT

I am sick and tired of the Marathas and Poland dominating my campaigns. Without fail by 1750 Poland controls all of central Europe and has eliminated Prussia, Austria and a litany of other minor nations. The Marathas on the other hand consistently achieve total control of the Indian subcontinent as well as making countless naval invasions into the Americas and Western Europe, last campaign they successfully invaded Britain for Christ's sake!

Anyway, I digress. None of these...

Tracer opacity at 50%?

feeds@yuku.com (RGS) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:05:57 GMT

Is this possible?

I don't want to completely remove the tracers (as I know some mods do) and don't really want any other changes to the game. Is this easy to change myself, either through a text file or replacement graphic?

Cheers,

Rob

Menu resolution, 2560x1600. Help please.

feeds@yuku.com (RGS) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:39:30 GMT

When running the game at this res the main menu doesn't fit the screen and it makes the game feel really unfinished. See here for images (scroll down):

http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/62182

If anyone has any idea if it might be possible to change this by editing a file somewhere I'd really appreciate it. Currently it looks as the menu is being drawn at 1900x1200.

Cheers in advance for any thoughts,

Rob

feeds@yuku.com (typhoon101) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:47:47 GMT

guys when you start a NEW campaign with darthmod, the original faction units you already have is still in small size (the size normal in the vanilla game) is there any way to counter this or do i just have to live with it?

Mod to turn off (or toggle) Platoon Fire?

feeds@yuku.com (Gamewiz) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:54:43 GMT

Just like the title says, I was wondering if there is a mod out there (that JUST has this ability, I do not want a complex mod) that turns off Platoon Fire or makes it a toggled ability? Frankly I HATE the ability. It completely nerfs ymy elites units, unless they are literally just standing there exchanging volleys with another Line Infantry. But when infantry charges at them, or cavalry charges, Platoon Fire is totally useless, and I'd much rather have them volley to do that...

I've been taking a look at the CAI interface in the startpos.esf.... i found some interesting entries.

This is just one of a bunch of "Invasion Requested" entries in the CAI interface.... looks like A) the AI is encouraged to do certain things by the startpos.esf.. and b) might actually be able to add entries in order to make the game a little more interesting.... such...
