hi,
i copyed the startpos.esf in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\imperial_splendour

i took u.s.

crash at starting campaign. always

[CerealGuy]

i know why i didn't update the game yet ill guess ill have to remake it
EDIT : Now it works

[WilliVonBill]

Excellent work, MedontCare... so far so good playing as the U.S. Some starting militia in my meager cities would have been nice though. The Brits kicked me out of New York pretty quickly. Lots of fun, though!

[rebirthofman]

Yeah I have been playing a U.S. campaign about halfway through starting to get interesting Maratha have conquered India no shock but now they have been trying to invade the U.S. and man its fun beating back stack after stack of Indian troops but now they got smart and decided to unload a half stack up in Northwest Territories where I have no troops just American Indians along with Britain invading in Florida. Fun indeed.

Any suggestions for other emergants to add?

[Anakron]

Hi! My first post here but i'm reading this forum since two years ago. I've had a lot of fun on IS but adding USA is a rich idea. Now, the big thre should be hardly matched by an emergent power. Thanks!
But can I help to upgrade this startpos? I explain. I could add description for USA and Greece and somme troops at start. Victory Conditions should be great too, no?
If anyone could explain to me how... :p
I've made some minor mods for my own pleasure on rome and med2...

Sorry for my "approximative" english. As we said in my country: My taylor is rich but my anglais est pauvre...

[CerealGuy]

go to this thread for how to mod the startpos http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=272139 if you want to mod anything else you can go to mod workshop. I would add more troops but then i would have to take some away from someone else i don't know anyone to take it away from to get the correct troops. If i take it away from GB its a little less challenging since they refuse to send over troops to help gain back their territories if i take it away from France their not gonna replace those troops in America but in Europe. I could give The U.S. some troops in the British colonies and transport a stack or two from Britain. For Greece i could give some from Venice (since they sit around and do nothing).

i know you cant trade i did that on purpose because then you have to fight the british or you will not be able to trade And yes i can make mexico playable i might do Hungry too

[Anakron]

Thanks for your reply, MedontCare. I dl V1.2 now. Cool stuff. Really!
I'm gonna learn modding ETW soon...

[kostas84]

Can i play this without having to download the mod?

Tried it, crash at the start.

[Lazy Knight]

I am pretty sure it is based on the IS2 startpos, so you needed the mod. Check HusserlTW's "Startpos Mods" for faction-playable mods for vanilla ETW.

[CerealGuy]

Yes it is based on IS2 startpos so im not surprised it didn't work now there are a ton of other startpos mods of vanilla just got to go looking for them .
Anakron if you mod this be sure to post it so i can add it to the download

[CerealGuy]

anyone experience crashes with my experimental no capital thing with U.S.

[Anakron]

CTD on turn 8 with U.S on V1.2. My first since V1.1. But it was first time i attempt to use merchant ships without declare war on Brits...
Gonna try without this "experiment".

Edit: 2 attempts: CTD on turn 8 with U.S.

Gonna try to capture Philadelphia before turn 8...

Edit 2: Takin' Philadelphia before turn 8 (pretty hard job with no troops at start). No more CTDs.

[CerealGuy]

im gonna give the U.S. a temporary capital because of the CTD
Edit: Updated to 1.3

[Anakron]

Maybe a problem with Quebec. More than 3.000.000 gold cash on start. Big wealth for a minor nation!..

[CerealGuy]

woops i though i got rid of that wealth
