Hi. I used this mod on my last PC but since I upgraded I can't get it to work properly. I've installed the mod as I did exactly before following your instructions but it loads like nothing has happened. Seeing that this was a common error on the front page I changed the file to a video rather than a mod and it hasn't changed anything. It still just loads the regular game as before. I'd try the unicode thing but frankly I haven't got a clue what unicode means.. Googleing it just confused me further.

The only thing I did differently was to create my own user.script file (my new anti virus was having none of the .exe file used to create it driving me crazy.) But the user.script is loaded by the mod so I presume i've done it correctly. It's all a bit confusing to be honest.

Is there a chance of a unicoded file being uploaded? Or more detailed instructions on how to make one? It'd be much apprieciated!

It is in Notpad's save window in lower middle pop up:

Attached is mine user.script.

That works like a charm! If you were infront of me i'd hug you!

Thank you so much for your hard work!

What's with the ancient-era looking lancers and warriors?

And is there any research behind these?

Get rid of fantasy units, my friend. ("Lusitanian nobles"...)

For that is NTF....

UPDATE: Startpos Mods has been updated in version 2.2. Iberia mod has been added introducing the Basques.

Small factions had mostly irregulars and a small regular army. The units I use are from Empire and Napoleon, and they are fantastic as the vanilla armed citizens and mob are. The names I use are real and come from history, mythology or geographical areas of the faction. They can be recruited only locally.

hey i have a problem just wanted to know what to go to get the different fractions in the game
i had the first one and worked just fine and wanted to know why this one doesn't work.

Some bugs I noticed in the NFT and Balkan mod (dunno if you're still working at it):
-in the Italy campaign you can't play as Austria. You just have a French Bourbon fglag in the Coalition GC menu, and you start a Genoa GC
-Romania has 3 units with the same name in 3 langs: Mountain Troops, Jaegers, Vânători de Munte
-Moldavia has way too OP units.

[Dogmeat]

question for the start pos guru,

ive noticed in France Euro campaign using NTF or vanilla that morale is up 2-3 point for all units, not sure if it effects ai as well, just curious if you have noticed any faction settings that seem like morale bonus's

If not that maybe its a 'global' character trait for Napoleon that boosts all french morale, i haven't seen one like that in DB tables so again anything along those lines in ESF land?



And btw awesome work all on putting NTF together, very swish and a whole lot more of options for playing NTW. The only 4 factions available factor sure looks like it made your job of adding factions a little more work intensive. Great work on the interface.

Be more specific please. Whta happens exactly?

Yes indeed, there where some wrong files included in last NTF update. I'll release an update soon, but if you are in a harry just install NTF again, without latest update.

As I've mentioned in my previous answer I am working on this, there is a mistake in last update. This has to do only with Italian campaign. The rest should work fine.

EDIT: The problem is only if you try to play in Italian campaign as France or Austria.

[Kirbanator]

well i can get them to work except france and austria on the italian campaign

The units I use are from Empire and Napoleon, and they are fantastic as the vanilla armed citizens and mob are.

Allow me to disagree, the mob citizens are not fantastic units. On the contrary, the units "Tartalo Lancers", "Odei Warriors","Els Segadors" and the "Lusitanian (??) Nobles" are completely fantastic/out of context.
Iberia mod is a 18th century mod, isnīt it?

The names I use are real and come from history, mythology or geographical areas of the faction.

Certainly not those "15th century Morish nobles". Well, itīs your choice, itīs your mod.
Using the same criteria, I have a suggestion for you - I would like to see this unit (a real french noble) included in the French Napoleonic army...

I meant the skins (the fancy clothes) and not the units themselves. At least in my historic knowledges I haven't met such uniforms. The units I use are from Napoleon and Empire and they are not in a very older era. Lusitanian Nobles for example is based on a Napoleon unit!

It is not a bad idea but as I said this is more for small factions who had in their armies more traditional irregular units and a small modern regular corps (a couple of battalions or regiments). Check Greek's units in Balkan mod, all the irregulars units I use are historic accurate and come from 19th century (after 1830). About the names I use terms from history, mythology or geography of the specific faction. In this way I can spread cultural characteristics of several factions or peoples (like Basque, Croatia, Moldavia that never been independent that era). It is not much but it is something. With modding I have learned many things about other peoples and nations.

In a few words I add some (exotic) spice and a variety on a untasted, stylistic game. Anyway these units are only locally available and you cannot expect to have any luck if you base your power and strategy on them. But they can help, after all they are irregulars.

UPDATE: NTF has been updated in version 2.2.
