I am not talking about the ease of learning how to use it, I am talking about the strength it took to cock the weapon. And even the peasants were stronger than the women I would guess.

Correct me if I am wrong havn't read anything on crossbows in awhile but arent they really hard to cock?

No way. As has been said you are likely to infect your own men.

Besides which the game is pretty easy in tactical battles I ignore some options that would make battles ridiculously easy.

Bump.

Still have not heard back from D2D support. (They are horrible never buy from D2D)

Can someone confirm the CA website patch works on the D2D?

Yes I am serious otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time and yours by starting this topic.

I guaruntee you that patch will not work for the D2D version, the D2D versions always are protected it...

I bought M2TW from Direct2Drive and I can't seem to find a patch and of course IGN customer support is HORRIBLE and has not gotten backt o me...anyone else having trouble finding the patch?

Historically speaking weren't their commanders in the First Crusade that were in competition to see who could get there first?

Well if the Middle East is "secure" where would the catholic church want its headquarters the pagan city of Rome or in the land that Jesus himself walked.

I'd like a Bombard option for missile units. Faster ROF, lower accuracy.

Some mods add them in. I know DLV and TLR do.

If I spot an AI family member of a faction I am fighting who happens to be travelling alone I tend to send out one of my own family members to duel.

Problem is the AI never charges they just sit...

My way of beating this obvious flaw in the game (historical accuracy be damned this is a game....nitpicking over historical accuracy of selection of heirs and then throwing out all of the obvious...

It is the only way for me to enjoy this boring game. Adding my own RPG elements makes what is otherwise a "Rinse and Repeat" game have any sort of lasting enjoyment.

Start up the game.

Go to options

Go to game options

Change the unit scale.

I am pretty sure the Holy Cross takes a long time to spawn again in the merc pool.

Tip for northern europe countries...when you have some spare cash build up a 4-5 size unit fleet that will go pretty much untouched and get it into the Med to act as your Crusade fleet.

If you are at war with the Pope you are excommunicated. Seek peace then buy reconciliation.

I know it would make me not bother buying the game if I knew that is how it worked.

Listen this is a game, a game about changing history. The guy who chose to start using X unit because Y unit...

Assuming default install:

That is your real list for mercs, when they come available and...

The only time I ever sold land to the Papacy totally backfired on me. As Venice I had bought Bologna off of my allies ze germans.Took florence and genoa from Milan. Overextended my forces in northern...

No they have Swiss Guard, armed with polearms not pikes.

HA if only the UN were that way.

My standard goal is to conquer a local area that allows me to have enough forces to hold my area and possibly expand, and once I have that area I make a Crusading...

You know you can always just go into EDU and alter the Byzantine units stats to give them different attack/defence and bonuses.

Thanks...but I don't use rep ;)

Being able to dismount your knights. Why it was not included I have no idea.

Congratulations you win todays Captain Obvious award :thumbsup2

I admit I am a RTW veteran with numerous scars to prove my long nights spent conquering those pesky Greeks and Carthaginians. And...

I have had a city bribed away from me.

Needless to say 75% of the people living in that city did not survive my wrath.

Exactly. As a veteran of numerous RTW/RTR campaigns I can attest to that.

I was going to make a multiplayer campaign game for RTW but ran into a couple things..first off I was not going to use the games campaign feature I was going to do what Lykaor suggested use the...

I used to build farms for the money...but got sick of the population growth and squalor. If you manage your early period and don't overbuy on armies, invest on development and expand smartly you...

It is the automanagement. Turn it off and you won't have any problems. You will have to select what buildings you want being built yourself in your settlements but trust me, you are smarter than the...

Buildings waiting to be built get their expense paid at the start of building, not when you first add them to the queue.

That or you have a wicked case of corruption.

I am playing DLV right now and while the roleplaying aspect makes the game a bit more enjoyable I get bored constantly winning. So I limit myself to half-stacks defensively and 3/4 stacks offensively...

Yup, I already play like he suggested and DLV truly helps me keep a role-playing aspect to the game. I care more about my family members being good than my empire being big....anyone can dominate the...

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this topic.

If you kill the Pope with an army you are really up the creek without a paddle because the new Pope won't reconcile you...after all you are at WAR with the Papacy not just being a bad Catholic.

RTR Platinum is an amazing game...I should know was a moderator over there for a LONG time and was good friends with the guys who made it. I highly recommend it...and yes it IS better than M2TW....I...

Play the game vanilla (unmodded) first to understand why the mods are so necessary.

I don't understand why your dad would say RTW would be a tutorial, the games are near carboncopies of eachother...

I beg to differ. As a fan of TLR who has played numerous campaigns I have never had to wait for 5 minutes for the AI to finish their turns. Even with Deus lo Vult which I just installed and playing...
