Dear All,
I've been scouting around the mod releases areas and the discussion forums and have failed to find a streamlined version of the Grand Campaign, including only working factions (i.e. no emergents, causing crashes to desk top). After a few requests I decided that I'd upload the files I used, thus I've decided to release one.
What is it?: A modification for Empire Total War, using the files from the original Grand Campaign and some intelligent Hex Editing
Features:
- Expanded playability- Take part in the grand campaign as factions such as Portugal, the Pirates and the Barbary States!
- The same quality gameplay you'd expect from major factions.
- And More....
Installation Instructions:
1. Backup your current /campaigns/ directory.
2. Extract the rar or zip file into the /data/ directory and merge it with the current campaigns folder.
3. Play, enjoy.
Known Issues: The FOW bug (in which buildings that faction owns at the start seem to lack a line of sight) for various factions seems to plague the situation at the moment. --- Solution: Move your military units on the first turn and use your list scrolls to navigate in the FOW. It should go away after a while if you just play normally. Similarly, if the game is saved and loaded, the problem usually goes away.
Acknowlegements: Everyone here at the ETW modding forums at TW center, particularly those who eventually delved into the esf files. Especially: Scanian, who first uncovered the correct fields to edit.
