[Palpatine]

In the main part of the 18th Century forum. Its under the factions thread.

I take it that's a fancy way of saying not in this version?

ET, there are some issues with the square in the formations as shown in N2TW if you've ever played that one.

The problem is with the engine. You can edit the formations, but it will take a minimum of 4 units to make a square. Hence, even with a stack of 12 infantry it will only allow you to form 3 squares... individual units cannot form a square. This also won't work because on the RTW/MIITW engine, if you form a square and one side is attacked, it will cause the other 3 units to fire, hitting your own troops in the back if FAW is on. Also bad because if you're being attacked by cavalry-and that's the only reason to form a square-from more than one side, all four units in the square will fire at the first enemy to come in range, and the enemy cavalry will be able to engage your infantry in essence in the rear.

[english tyrant]

oh right thanks for sharing that. I'm downloading N2Tw right now by the way.

[Mars Magnus]

oh ...
GEIL!
Excellent!

[Ataegina]

[Orko]

[DarkBloodyFetus]

Alright, I can't find where your telling the other users of where the screenshots are, please post an actual link.

[Palpatine]

I'm glad I'm not getting directions for the nearest Train Station from you guys, you would all be lost if I spun you around in a phone booth 3 times. Here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=129215
or you could have just clicked on the "18th Century Mod" link in my sig, then just looked at the stickies. But no matter problem solved.

The simple answer is at the moment Men. I will consult with an experienced scripter about this later as at the moment getting the factions working properly is more important. Many of the factions are causing CTD's, exactly why is unknown as of yet, but they can and will be fixed. So your idea will have to be put on the back burner for awhile, sorry.

[Jimexander the Mighty]

Oh man I really hope this mod gets completed Im so excited

[Palpatine]

It will be simple to install, when it is released. It will have a self installer and will install in its own mod folder so that it won't destroy your vanilla version of the game. As for when exactly the mod will be released it depends on how much help I get from the community, but lets put it this way before Empire is due out. How good the mod looks and how many cool features there will be will also depend on how much help I get from the community on the mod. So if your a capable modder please apply in the recruitment sticky in our forum.

[Palpatine]

english tyrant thats right, so far, but at this point I'm not sure if I will release it in the same way as italiano was intending a lot of the mod is up in the air at present. I may wait for a full release then tack on little addons.

[Ataegina]

[Mars Magnus]

Shouldn´t we add 1-3 provinces more i the northern America?
And the same in India?

Will we can arrive India by marching through the Ottoman Empie and the Iran?
Also the African provinces?

It is not an idea. I just asked a question.

I don't think we should. also, I would like if Simon Bolivar is in, like you.

Simon Bolivar=over a quarter of the way into the 19th century. I doubt he'll even be in Empire, though maybe they'll put him in end-game.
