I think it's great that every game is radically different. The more scripted a wargame like this is, the more lame. ETW is one of the great wargames of all time.

That's a great guide. Thanks!

It was Poland. Maybe it will be fixed in DarthMod, which I think I have just got installed.

I figured it out--I just had to install everything in the ETW folder with the empire.exe file.

Howdy, generals. Kind of having a problem getting darthmod working. I unpacked part 2 into a folder on the ETW folder, ran the part one exe which seemed to get it installed, putting an icon on my...

I want to play as 13 Colonies, or Scotland like you could in Med II.

Howdy, generals. My Prussia game was ruined by Poland taking Warsaw without declaring war. I went back to the autosave and actually managed to deflect it diplomatically, but the next turn it happened...

Ah thanks! I think I was trying to do it from another link.

The links to the darthmod download say it is unavailable. Is there an alternate? Can you do it on Steam, like a HOI4 mod download?

It works fine for me, except for Poland taking back Warsaw without ever declaring war. That doesn't have anything to do with my Windows version, though.

It wasn't the port, I just couldn't my army from my territory into theirs. It was like a bug, or something. Finally I just did an amphibious landing. I don't know why I could do that, but not just...

I'm playing as 3 Provinces and I can't invade the pirate province in South America--it just won't let me move into it. Why in the world can't I take out the pirate city? The little buggers are...

That sounds like stuff I can use them for. I haven't had school problems though, as I usually don't develop school tech.

The point of fire by rank historically was to maintain a continuous fire. The Zulus would never get free dash to the infantry at any time, if they were doing it right.

Ah, alright, I can see they have some uses. Slaughtering rabble (but not Riff Raff) is a need of mine. Friendly fire??? There's ff in this game? So my field pieces WERE shooting my general in the...

I mean, they seem like either inferior cavalry or inferior infantry. Maybe I'm not using them right.

I just let besiegers pop a hole in the wall, then make a circle of death around where they're coming through. I've beaten far larger armies this way. They get pyched out once they're inside, while my...

Are you sure it's a bug? Maybe that's just how much recruitment they're supposed to have.

Islam is in Medieval TW, but not for the player. There's probably a mod. That's after Muhammad, though. He was in the early 600s.

I want to see The Empire of Islam Total War, where you're invading the collapsing Persian and Byzantine empires, basing out of Arabia, and your general is Muhammad.

That explains why my game always almost crashes on the ottoman turn.

After playing the indians in the gc, I have loads more respect for the Punjabi than I do for the feeble Mogul Empire. The mod sounds great!

ha ha....!

Yeah, ships versus infantry. That would be COOOOOL. This game already rocks HARD, though--make no mistake about that.

What's wrong with steamrolling the map? What would Genghis or Bonaparte do?

When I played England, it gave me the 13 Colonies as a reward for taking over provinces in the new world. That made me way too strong. After that I always decline the mission, but England is still...

Those are some great ideas. The last one, though, gets into the concept of "nation" which I don't think was highly manifest in the 1700s. The real American colonies after the revolution had far more...

That same guy wrote a whole series of alt his books, but 1900 is the really good one. Have you ever read Afrika Reich? The allies are slaughtered at Dunkirk, Churchill is removed, the new appeasement...

I want Kaisar Invades America Triggers WWI In 1900 TW. (based on a great alt-hist book called 1900)

Thanks! I can't wait to get into this. ETW is already a great game, but with the modding work you guys do it just gets incredible.

Hello. I really love ETW. I just wish I could play as the United States or 13 Colonies in the Grand Campaign. I downloaded the EasyEsf editor and found the startpos.esf file in the ETW main file, cut...
