Check it now. It's all working fine for me.
I know that a considerable amount of the Encyclopedia content is not on the local disk, but stored on Amazon-owned servers. I suspect the problem was...
Anyone else have the Encyclopedia just stop displaying most pages in the last couple of days? I've checked the online version and it seems to lack the same pages as the in-game interface.
What's...
Javelins, if you have them, backed by melee units with high defense, backed by archers.
The javelins are an important component, as the casualties they can inflict on the first wave of enemy will...
On Steam your pages for this mod say (Vanilla compatible). Does this mean that they will work with the vanilla game and do not require DEI?
Marriage re-balances influence between the two parties.
Just wanted to pop in and point out that Iceni do get slaves. They get half as many as normal after battles and none for taking settlements, but it's not really a problem. With a Lvl 3 Slave Trader...
Headhunt increases melee attack and morale and decreases melee defense. The magnitude of the effects increase as time goes on, ie. the longer headhunt has been active the higher the attack and lower...
They need to fix Empire: Total War.
By comparison, Rome II is currently in good, well-supported shape. Nothing to forgive there.
Every Total War game since the original Medieval Total War has been a disappointment. That doesn't mean they've all been bad games, and Rome II is less disappointing than some others (admittedly, I...
Playing as Bactria, CTD on Seleucid turn every time I try. I'm ~40 turns in.
EDIT: I've been trying to upload the .sav as either a .7z or .zip file and it keeps failing.
That's the way it is. Usually the capped unit is a slightly superior version. Recruit those first.
It's been a rough ride. My gallbladder teamed up with my pancreas to try to kill me, then I started working in a grocery store, then I became a certified wine professional, and now I still work in a...
Now that winter is on it's way here, and I don't participate in winter sports and my work should slow down, I fully intend to edit, polish, and finish this guide before Spring.
Um... does anyone...
Empire uses an entirely different engine to what came before, M2TW:K modding experience isn't very helpful (other than general confidence in modding).
You need Pack File Manager, then you're...
All of these sound like issues that I've seen when system memory gets overloaded, except the artillery not limbering - that's a vanilla bug that strikes from time to time, rarely.
How many units...
Uh... let's see, two out of three guys in a battalion get killed and you expect the rest to just keep fighting? I wasn't aware this was RoboEmpire... :-P
If you want to increase morale, keep your...
Indeed. That's interesting. But surely the marksmanship bonuses given to the smaller guns and the higher base accuracy of the smaller ships render the cannonball size distinction rather...
Grape shot has never worked well, not in vanilla, not in DarthMod. It becomes slightly useful after researching Improved Grapeshot, but unless firing from a big ship to a small ship (ie. 5th Rate to...
Ships from different nations have different stats. Russian ships have more hitpoints and crew but are (lots) slower, for example. British ships are all around better (which is a-historical - France...
Well, I recommend tweaking the naval unit stats and upping the armour and speed of the 1st Rate, but that's complicated.
Otherwise, just regard the 5th Rate as a weak ship of the line that's too...
No. I don't have any submods installed, although I've made a few tweaks myself (to AI aggression, AI diplomatic priorities, and naval combat - nothing to land combat). I'm going to try Bran's submod...
Fire by rank against cavalry still doesn't work, sadly, but 8.1 turned up the accuracy a bit, especially at close range. Cavalry taking a volley at less than 50 meters in game will be shredded. I've...
Well, the first thing I would suggest is that 1st Rates are meant to be flagships of battle squadrons. They should be with other ships of the line (2nd, 3rd, and 4th Rates), which makes it much...
It's probably an accuracy issue, not a firepower issue. For balance reasons, DarthMod makes the ships less accurate the bigger they are. Don't use a 1st Rate at long range, get it in close. You'll...
Your 1st Rate is weaker than a 5th Rate? I do feel the 5th Rate is a bit too powerful in DarthMod, but surely your comment is an exaggeration? I can defeat a 5th Rate with a 4th Rate and it's only a...
The problem with re-enactors (and, just to be clear, I used to be one myself for American Revolution and War of 1812 events) is that they tend to be better shots than your average line infantryman,...
The grey pips in the vertical force size bar over the city when selected. Each pip is a unit, just like the yellow ones over your armies.
I've voiced plenty of criticisms of DarthMod, myself, but none on your list, Spear Dog. Musketry is tooaccurate in Darthmod, especially at longer ranges. I play as Russia, but firefights are...
I'm wanting to try your mod out, but it seems none of the download links work. In both Firefox and Chome they open a new tab and try to load a blank image, rather than start a download. I've had this...
It's not really DarthMods fault, I suppose. The CAI as programmed originally stinks. Darth and other modders can adjust some priorities and tune general aggression up and down, but they can't...
You can't find any references because the author of this guide used terms that are almost correct, but not quite. Try searching for "topographical crest" and "military crest".
Very disappointing. Seeing that 8.0.1 Platinum as out, and having begun watching the Sharpe television series, I decided to return to DarthMod. What the freakin' heck happened to this mod!?

PART I: INTRODUCTION TO THINKING STRATEGICALLY

What is strategy?
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines strategy as (among other things) :

The units listed under the governor buildings are only available to the slave/rebel faction and are what it can build if it happens to control the city.
Nevermind my request for help. I've just discovered the wonderful world of descr_strat.txt and am slogging my way through that mess. Changes apparently have to be made both in descr_regions.txt and...
Marcus Camillus et al,
I'm a long time RTR lurker; first started playing RTR when 5.4. I just upgraded to Platinum from Gold (late comer due to stubborness). The problem you seem to be running...
