I'm sure the patch/update from CA has overridden some necessary mod files somewhere, Boicote is probably(hopefully) aware of the problems and is updating IG to be compatible as we speak,

Never fear gentlemen,

I guess I'm confused as to what the mod is going to resemble in the future, it seems like it's been leaning more towards a 'south-america' focused mod, especially with the new factions like the Rio de la Plata and Gran Columbia.

I would really love the mod to concentrate on the 'metropole' I guess, being mainland Portugal, e.g. expanding the depth and breath of opportunities for playing as the Imperio Portugues, by modding in areas historically associated with it, obviously Brazil, but also west africa and south-east africa, the islands of the indian ocean, perhaps even some of the Indonesian archipelago.
Pretty much, I'm just being a nosy bastard, but I just love this god damn mod so much,

Thanks,

Hello, Celareon

!

You are not a nosy bastard

. I’m glad you are enjoying IMPERIUM GLOBALE

.
Answering to you post, this mod is not exclusively about the Portuguese Empire

. Of course, it’s necessary to do lot of modding around this faction because it was not a playable in the vanilla game.
The future of the mod will depend on the possibility of adding new regions and continents, but the modding community doesn’t even know if that is really possible (I guess it is) and what are the hardcoded limitations. So, it’s difficult to me to say how exactly the mod is going to be, but I guess these are my priorities:

-Adding more regions, especially in the coast of India
-Adding South America and some of the Atlantic archipelagos. To maintain some coherency in the game I have create several emergent nations in South America.
-Adding the East Indies.
-Adding south-west Africa.

So, as you can see, the priority is adding land. Faction will come with it (for example, if I’m successful in adding south-west Africa, then I may want to include more factions).

That’s because the new update of the game (released on 29/4) replaces the file “stratpos.esf”.
I’m working on a version that will allow you to play IMPERIUM GLOBALE with the new patch without problems. Coming soon

As I said, I’m working on a new version of the mod. I hope that the new release will fix your problem.

Unfortunately is not possible to release the skins separately without releasing with it some files that will enter in conflict with other mods

The new version is almost done (98% completed). It will have some new features (but not too many

), and some bugs will be fixed.
I'm just waiting for someone to update the Pack File Manager (a tool used to create the mod). As you can see in this link, with the new patch, the tool is no longer compatible with some files

.
Without it, I cannot release the new version.

i love it good job

Celereon, it happened before the patch, just never got around telling until now.
Also, your Cacadores remind me of those from AoE3, but the still have their brown. Also, not exactly sure but the Cacadores don't need machined rifling unlike their replacement unit ingame, they just need a 2nd level barracks.

**Moorish guy** · May 02, 2009, 04:35 PM

could you guys possibly make a mod to unlock Morocco aND give them some professional units if so could those professional units look like the ones you made for Haiti expect the have uniforms and not rags or plain nothing [the Haitian light infantry look starved and wheres the Haitian navy?]

i also was curious to know what easy and hard to do in the moding buisness

That is a known issue. If you read the opening post you will find this:

Can i ask what version of the game you have? and if you have any of the special units installed?

1.2 and yes, I have the SF edition of the game.
But why should that effect the Portugese?

I have the standard version, but with the dahomey Amazons because i pre-ordered. Mod doesn't run for me either so i'm looking for some sort of link.

A new version of IMPERIUM GLOBALE was released. This update is now compatible with the official patch released on 1st of May, includes some new features and has several bugs fixed. Please check the opening post:

DOWNLOAD and INSTALLATION

The current version of the mod is the version v1.01, and it's compatible with the official game update released on 1/5/2009. If you don't have this update, please install it with Steam. Then:

1- Download the mod [LINK 1 (Filefront.com); LINK 2 (Mediafire.com)].

2- IMPORTANT - Before install, please make a backup of the file "startpos.esf". This file is located in the folder C:\...\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\main. If you want to uninstall the mod, you will need to restore this file.

3- Extract the file IMPERIUM GLOBALE v1.01.exe, double click on it and follow the instructions. NOTE: The installation folder should be the main game folder (C:\...\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war)

4- When the installation is completed you will find a new shortcut in your desktop. Double click on it!

This mod is "save compatible" but its advisable to start a new campaign, specially if your save is from previous versions of the game.

FEATURES

Version 1.0
