and what does the empire user script txt file contain?

and what does the empire user script txt file contain?

mod "Imperial Splendour DB.pack";
mod "Imperial Splendour Media.pack";

[Lazy Knight]

and these two files are in your data directory? If so, then the crash must be due to some old installation of a mod...

[Scottishtroop]

Yeah but they are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data\data as IS comes with its own data folder, also i have deleted the game and reinstalled it as i thought it could have been an old mod but this is no the case

[Lazy Knight]

ahh, that is the issue
the data folder is supposed to be merged into your data folder!

No worries, we do not override any files. The campaigns folder also has to be merged, such that there are no two data folders (and no two campaigns folders either)

Cheers m8 got it i was thinking it was strange having two data folders lol

I just finished installing the mod this morning and started a campaign as the United Provinces.

The 'West India Line Regiment' only has 105 men as opposed to all the other line infantry regiments, which have 150.

I'm guessing this is just a typo in a file somewhere. If anyone cold tell me which file and how to change it, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Raw Data

PS: Great mod folks.

[Lazy Knight]

the starting unit? Then it is in the startpos file and I advise living with it - it will only be this one unit.

If trained, then get DB Editor and change it in the unit_tables file for united provinces of the IS DB file.

[Raw Data]

They were recruited, and thankyou for the help.

Will this work with my current campaign or will I have to restart?

Also the stats for Swiss Line Infantry seem a little odd, an extra 50 upkeep on normal Line Infantry for a unit that looks a little different and can hide in bushes, but is otherwise exactly the same?

Additionally Grenadier are less accurate than normal Line Infantry? Is this intentional for balancing purposes?

Cheers,
Raw Data

[Lazy Knight]

it will work in the current campaign but only apply on units recruited in the future (if that makes sense)

You should not heed stats too much. Different units use different projectiles which influence their performance much better than e.g. the accuracy. ETW hides most of the important stats from the viewer sadly.
(examples: the reload speed is displayed, but the base reload time of the projectile is not although this is the much more important value! Same goes for troop accuracy and projectile spread, the first but unimportant one is displayed)

We have tried to align the values somehow, but haven't always managed well. You should try out their units to see their performance and not only heed the (displayed) stats!

Excuse me, but i'm getting a problem with the IS version of the mod. I'm using the 3.2 with english language, and it prevents me from using some factions( like venice, denmark ...) in the custom battle, and if i start a campaign, no matter the faction, it crashes... i noticed that by removing the line in the script used to activate AUM this problem is solved, yet a good number of additional units become... untextured. Please, do you know how to solve this?

[Lazy Knight]

Try reinstalling the mod

[MagisterEquites]

Hi, I hope this hasn't already been asked, and I'm sorry if it has :\ Anyhow I have windows 7, I've revealed hidden files and I still can't find the location for the script file that's needed to play the mod. Where should I be looking or where should I paste it to?

[MagisterEquites]

Aha! I've found it, but it's locked and won't let me open it which is wierd because I'm the only user on my laptop (so obviously I'm an admin) any tips?

[Flikitos]

try to install IS II with the mod manager.

[Lazy Knight]

a) The folder is created on first gamestart. Make sure you have startet the game before you go looking on it.

b) the files are locked by the game when it is running.

c) most of the time, if you type the path into the window and hit enter, it'll let you bypass most issues (e.g. you can select hidden folders by typing their address in the address line)

cool heres the path you take:
C:\Users\username(profile log in as)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
and the script should look like this:
mod mod_BSM_4_Medium - IS2.pack;
mod mod_NoTrails.pack;
mod Imperial Splendour DB.pack;
mod Imperial Splendour Media.pack;

**the top 2 mods are optional and in the IS forum**
hope this helps out, have fun

Here is a bug: when you fight a naval battle and the enemy receives reinforcements and you make these reinforcements surrender, than after the battle those ships will still sail away with all their damage, and wont be captured, even though they surrendered!

[Sneaking Viper]

While I am fairly certain that it is more of a ETW issue, I have noticed that when playing Denmark, Sweden will loose all provinces in the East to Russia, since Sweden place everything on the Norwegian border. It seems to be indifferent to Russia and let Estonia, Sankt Petersburg and Finland fall to Russia. So my question is: Is there a way to make Sweden and other nations be more aware of its core provinces and less of the player, since if I play any other nation, Sweden will not place all its troops on the Danish border.

I installed the mod and the patch, but it freezes up at the splash screen, no CTD.

Edit: nevermind, it's all good now.
