This is probably easily fixable, but...game screen is so large I can not access apply changes to change resolution of game and make playable. How do you scroll around on ingame screen if it is all large with half the information offscreen? I so want to play Apaches for first time on this mod. Thanks if you can help.
Hello,
Sounds like this is your first Kingdoms mod and you don't have your files unpacked. If I'm correct then you'll find this has been covered many times. There is a Display ReadMe in the expanded_americas2 folder and a display folder containing 3 files that you have to copy into your main Medieval 2 ui folder.
I'm not sure I've heard this one before, so I'll ask if you've tried the display fix first? Although it doesn't sound like this is the problem, it is worth checking. There is a Display ReadMe in the expanded_americas2 folder as well as a display folder which contains 3 files you have to copy into your main Medieval2 ui folder. This is the same for all Kingdoms mods.
If that doesn't fix your problem, then you could try to set the campaign map resolution before starting your campaign.
A second possibility would be to set your resolution in the .cfg
Open the expanded_americas2 folder and double click the medieval2.expanded_americas2.cfg file, select wordpad to open it with and copy the following into the [video] section.
campaign_resolution = 1024 768
battle_resolution = 1024 768

oh,I used to have the files unpacked but I reinstalled the game,so I forgot to unpack them again.
I have come across a problem I have not seen before, so assume it is An Expanded America's problem.
I have discovered that once a unit has dropped a ram outside a broken down wooden fort gate with small entrance, it will not take the ram through the wooden entrance.
You can get units to re-assign to the ram, and they will stay with it as long as the ram is outside the gates, but as soon as you put the move cursor the other side of the gate, inside the fort, the units leave the rams! Given forts now have 'gates inside gates' you need to bring the rams through the gate.
I believe that had I kept the units attached to the rams they may go through, but I should be able to drop siege machines and pick them up again without changing where you can move them.
Any idea's on this? Thanks!

The AI built a fort? If so, Wow! Its not something I've had in ANY campaign!
To be honest forts is not something I've play tested since my attempts to make stone forts buildable in the early days, so this is good for all versions. If you give me the circumstances, I can try to recreate the battle to see what's happening. The only suggestion I can make to you is to compare the battle in question with the closest set up you can make in a custom battle, using one of the Kingdoms Expansion Mods. If you get the same issue then its not likely to be an Expanded America's bug alone.

I feel soooo stupid! Fought the battle again, and turns out that the town (Rennes, France) had multiple entrances, and I mistook an entrance for an 'inner wall'! In your mod the towns are really more convoluted, with multiple gates to enter, ramps to go up to the main gate, another ramp to get to the town centre high atop a hillside, etc. Vanilla just had pretty small towns with one wooden gate entrance!
The reason, therefore, that my men would not take the rams through the gate, was there was no need, as there was not another gate to bash through!
I love this element of the mod, where once your into the town/city, there is now more to do to fight to the town/city centre! Certainly the enemy AI knows to leave it's bowmen at the top of the hill, raining death on my men as they climb the hillside up to them!

Reading that through, I couldn't help but smile.
That sort of detailed feedback is good to here!
K, my campaign works now,but my custom battles cause a ctd. It starts and the crashes
Thanks for the help. I solved my problem by "fishing" off-screen for the apply changes button. I could change the resolution, just could not see apply changes button. Started an Apache campaign and will keep you posted. Aztecs took Lubbock on turn 3.
Playing as Denmark, sent a ship to the Americas, each time i send a spy into an Apachean town, the game doeas a CTD. 6 times this happened on the town west of Newfounland.
Otherwise a great mod. My allied Pope died, my Cardinal got elected, the next turn i was at war with every single country cept Milan. Turn after that every country that started war against me got Excommunicated, cept the Teutonics, they are stuck at Visby with 10 Gunholks guarding their harbour.

Post me your log and I'll take a look. Although I have never had a problem with custom battle, except when using Wardogs. Give me as much details as you can.
This I will look at, I take it you mean Vineland?
Also the Teutonics...
Hello,
I sincerely hope that this Mod is still alive and kicking, as
1. Its brilliant and just what I was looking for, and
2 I have a problem I noticed, I just tried a Custom Battle with the Scottish Calivermen and English Musketeers, but when the Calivermen fire, I hear not only a gun sound, but also the release of arrows, and yet I have no archers in my battle.....can anyone help me please?
And as a footnote:
Are there anymore Custom Battle Maps I can get for your mod?

After a lot of attempts, I finally got a spy into Vineland without him being killed, no CTD on the half dozen deaths or the successful infiltration.
Looks like I somehow omited the Teutonic Order from my debt script, they probably will struggle without it. I shall address this.
It sure is still alive, Version 2.0 was only released about 2 weeks ago!
I ran a custom battle as you discribed and could here only the shots of muskets and the whistle of the musket balls...
As for Custom Battle Maps, you can use any with this mod. If you need help getting them running post in the workshop, or create a new thread in the Expanded America's sub-forum and I'll help as I can...
Ok I'll start a new thread about the Custom Maps, need to find them first, such a large site an all, a bit bewildering glad to hear that its only been 2 weeks, I can't always come due to being unwell, so that is why I asked
As for the sound problem I am puzzled as I don't know how to resolve it, I know that I only hear the arrows when I have the camera right next to the Calivermen, if I am halfway between the two armies, then I hear the same as you, but up close its different, sorry I should have been more specific
I guess I could try to use the sound mods from another mod? :hmmm:
Thanks
