previously i had ACW installed but i deleted all traces

[Brygun]

Just resetup Empire Total War including the huge steam download. I wanted to install this mod. The files are downloaded but I cant find the diectory listed as:

[[[
You must then ACTIVATE the mod, by placing the "user.empire_script.txt" file in the scripts directory usually found here:
Windows XP / 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name here>\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
Windows 7 / Vista: C:\Users\<Your User Name here>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

]]]

Computer is a Vista 32 bit laptop. Ive run various searches starting from the C: for "scripts" "The Creative Assemply" and "Empire". So far I cant find this scripts directory where the launch file is supposed to go.

Any help? Settings to change or something?

[Lazy Knight]

two possible pitfalls:
1. The folder is only created at first gamestart
2. The AppData or Roaming folder is hidden, you need to select show hidden folders in folder options to make it visible

[Brygun]

Found it after setting to show hidden files. (used F1 on the desktop to get that). Thanks mate! Ill load yer musket in the next fight.

I've installed the mod and launched the game. The Imperial Splendour logo is on the menu but other than that the game seems exactly like the vanilla version. No different options or campaigns seem to available, am I missing something here?

[Flikitos]

Yes we will fix this "bug" in IS 2.2.1, no worries.

[Turbotann23]

Can anyone Just give me the link of IS 2.0 dowload and installation guide???
I have been searching it for hours

[Lazy Knight]

IS 2.0 was hosted on Megaupload and is thus no longer available. You can download IS 2.1.4 here:

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20056...dour_v2_1_4_7z

To installt it just copy the contents of the folder into the Data directory and use mod manager or the script file to activate the mod. You can find the link and installation instructions in the first post of this thread:

Hey thanks you saved my day from frustration

[TTocsxic]

dear, dear Imperial Splendour team,

THIS MOD IS AWESOME! I've always been playing E:TW with the Dartmod Empire Commander mod, but this mod is far better! It's SO realistic - I'm actually proud to play my own country (I'm Dutch (= ) again!

I just have three questions. As you can see, I'm not very often posting stuff on TWcenter for I'm a busy student of Aerspace Engineering, but if I really think it's worth something, I post it so that's for you guys! The point of me saying this, is the fact that I'm not aware if I am to post this here or somewhere else, but since this was the most recent updated forum page in comparison to a lot of dead once since 2009 (which is already 3 years ago by now guys!!! O= ), I thought I'd give it a try.

So to the point:
1. Is there a smoke submod for this, because those baby clouds aren't really the real deal now are they? You should only be able to see guys back in that era if you stood before there noses once the battle raged. Example of proper smoke from approx. 1:10 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhd_dnFuqh4

2. Does this mod have it's own unit tweaks in battle? (I'm saying, does it have it's own BAI? - but since I know that this can't be tweaked directly for I'm a modder myself elsewhere, I put it the other way)

3. It seems like it has it own CAI, but what are the improvements? Link/pictures?

That's really about all! I'm off playing till deep in the night now, for tomorrow I only have time to study Flight Mechanics and Aeronautics... =(
Still, I'll be checking for an answer from you guys hehe..

THANKS AGAIN TEAM!

[Searry]

Hey! Is there any way to make the diplomatic AI have more sense in some way? I'd really hope there was a fix of sort for this, as it makes this otherwise good game make me want to pound my screen(and it's not even CRT!).

[Lazy Knight]

I'm afraid it is impossible. I suggest playing normal difficulty for least bad AI.

Hi, I have just installed IS 2.1.4 and i think i spoted a bug

Playing as Morocco , i have recruited some "abid bawakhir" units in Tangier and got attacked by a british army. the units i've recruited disapeared after the city battle (in this battke i had 2 recruited "Abid bawakhir" and 3 spawned ones + other troops), i think the ia counted my recruited units as spawned ones...
anyway to fix this ?

side note: Governement building at max level

sorry for my bad english

[Lazy Knight]

ok, somebody else has reported something like that before, so I better look into it. Thanks for the report!

[Savoyard]

Mullaf Militia looks a little to Western for Persia to recruit...

[Robin de Bodemloze]

Got a CTD upon end turn after I saved this and now the game crashes when I try to even load this save. No auto_save was created.

The 1717 save has the CTD. I've included the 1716 save in case it's of any use.

Not sure if it's an ETW issue or IS issue. Nonetheless any help would be much appreciated.

[Navneeth Jay]

I'm not sure these are entirely in the right category, but I do have a list of annoying glitches or unintended effects in this game. I don't know how many can be fixed.

-Riderless horses still fight enemy infantry, even when the riders have routed.
-Remounting garrisoned or partially garrisoned dragoons can cause them to bug and become unusable
-Declaring war on some countries will give you random "Dishonouring Treaties" diplomatic sanctions (-120 points). This happens even if you have never made treaties with them and doesn't seem to ever reduce itself over time.
-I think that you get the same penalty for redeclaring war on a nation even after a long time. I'm not sure if this is intended, but it never affects AI nations.
-Other diplomatic bonuses appear arbitrarily. For example some nations have "Different government type" penalties against you (I think Portugal chiefly) despite having the same government.
-Penalties against territorial expansion and breaking treaties seems to affect only nations in one's theatre
-The Mamelukes suffer resistance to foreign occupation in territories they rebel from (lol?)
-Bomb ketches aren't able to select fire at enemies without advancing forward, though the description implies they can't even fire without halting
-In a fort battle, garrisoning your units in a building destroys their "Encouraged by Fortifications" morale bonus.
-Units occasionally will fire at will at enemies far past their maximum range
-In a fort battle, you can deploy stakes over the fort doors and essentially block any enemy cavalry involvement

I can think of more l8r.
