1.5 released

It is Lurker. All Med II mods are, in my experience.

Welcome to TWC.

[Crusading Knight]

How can I get onto the .cfg file without changing it to txt because I made a copy and changed the main to .txt I edited the windowed bit to true however it wouldn't save...

I'm using vista.

[Tony83]

I don't use Vista but what I would do, using XP, is right click on the file and go to properties and make sure that the file is not read-only. Then right -click again on the file and then select "Edit with Notepad", make your changes, and that would be it. Find Vista's equivalent process and you should be OK.

[Crusading Knight]

lol, I can't find anything.. anyone know how to do this? XP is so much easier with handling files !

[Ightenhill]

Thanks for this..I have to say its my favourite Mod ever and has even prompted me to register and put those thanks in writing...

[Copperknickers II]

AGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Clicked this from main page thinking it was BC!

Now i'm here though, it looks good, think i'll download

[Ightenhill]

I'll even add a new sig..

[Ightenhill]

Quick question.. No matter what settings I set for graphics in the options, it always resets on restart.. Do i get around this by altering the config file manually or will this cause problems..

[AlphaDelta]

You'll need to edit the config file manually.

I try to start this game after faithfully following all the instructions, and on the first splash screen it just crashes back to my desktop. On top of that, after the installation no shortcut was automatically created.

And ideas? I use Vista.

After you change the for_king_or_country.cfg file into a .txt file by renaming it, how do you change it back to a .cfg? Renaming it doesn't do it...

EDIT Figured this out elsewhere, stupid question...

[hull19]

wow, this is a great mod. good work!

@AlphaDelta. Rep is definitely coming your way. This mod is amazing! It is the first mod I've played for MTW2 that takes it towards the musket v musket warfare of the 17th century and makes MTW2 feel like an entirely new game. I love the music, it suits the mod perfectly.

A couple of questions however. Since money seems to dwindle pretty rapidly (playing as the Parliamentarians at least), how do you make more money, or is it a case of 'keep your armies alive, because once they're dead, that's it'?

OK, that was only one question! Anyway, this mod has really whet my appetite for Musket v musket, so which other mods are there that cover this sort of period? (I haven't got ETW yet, waiting for it to be sorted out).

Back to that rep. Here it comes!

[AlphaDelta]

SonOfCrusader76,

Look through all of your settlements and see which ones have strong support for you, then move out those garrisons and merge them into your armies.

Go after a couple of large towns or cities and you'll start bringing in a fair few thousand more. Becareful though, 5 or 6 of the larger towns have garrison scripts and if you have to pull away from that settlement after the garrison spawns then you're going to be facing another full stack on the battlefield.

Use your starting 10,000 to build 3 or 4 economic buildings, they really do help.

Taking Oxford will give you a monthly cash bonus because of it's treasury.

Don't let your starting armies get wiped out, they have experience bonuses and you'll want to keep them upto strength.

Lastly, try to enjoy the challenge! The way the country was sliced up between Royals/Parliament makes it very difficult to prevent enemy forces entering your territory. Also I tried to make FKoC deliberately tough by giving the AI big cash bonuses that help it to build large armies.

Good luck!

[SonOfCrusader76]

Thanks!

[Lemming69]

how do i uninstall it? just out of curiousity (Not that I want to uninstall this brill mod)

[AlphaDelta]

Open your M2TW folder, find the fkoc folder, select it and delete it.

[nigelnire]

OK, that was only one question! Anyway, this mod has really whet my appetite for Musket v musket, so which other mods are there that cover this sort of period? (I haven't got ETW yet, waiting for it to be sorted out).

I think the only other Musket v Musket would be the hopefully soon to be released European wars 2 for MTW2 Kingdoms it looks really good check it out.

It's more fun to play FKOc than Empire, really !

- but one question: is it possible to mod the tight formation of the infantry, in that way, that the man stand really close to another, like in 18th century ?

I'm just interested in, because i would like to see, that close formations marching ahead ...

- is there any chance - any possibility in a .txt or whatever or is it hardcoded ?

[AlphaDelta]

Yes but if this will result in the men bumping into each other and slowing down the rate of fire as they revolve ranks.

- is there any chance - any possibility in a .txt or whatever or is it hardcoded ?

It's quite simple to change. Open up the export_descr_units.txt and search for a musketeer unit, say roundhead stamford musketeers. Find this line:

formation 1.2, 1.2, 1.6, 1.6, 3, square

Change it according to these rules:

;
; formation soldier spacing (in metres) side to side, then front to back for close formation
; followed by the same measurements in loose formation.
; followed by the default number of ranks for the unit
; followed by the formations possible for the unit. One or two of
; square, horde, schiltrom, shield_wall, phalanx, testudo, or wedge

So in FKoC each man stands on the corner of a square 1.2M x 1.2M.

Cheers
