beermug's Expanded Americas Renovation Project 1.5 07/11/2012

I made the same mistake as you, Dracula. When you install the 2nd part of the mod be careful to browse the installer into expanded_americas3.3/data not in /expanded_americas3.3, else the campaign won't load.

Small feedback for this submod: the units are very hard to kill and battles tend to last very very long. Par example, a peasant unit can hold a heavy infantry unit for a very long time. Or at a castle defense when I tried to counter a siege tower with my heavy infantry(like I did in vanilla or SS) their weak units overwhelmed the tight wall and I couldn't kill them at all. The battle was over after 60 minutes but they were still fighting on the walls.

I simply get the campaign intro and then it loads and then it says, "M2TW has a unspecified error and will now quit." How do I fix this?

Hello!
I made a few tweaks for this submod recently, mostly they are personal preferences, but also some fixes. Maybe somebody will find them useful. I had a fantastic campaign with Timurids using these tweaks.

Changelog:
- Fixed missing textures and UI's for units (mercenary cannon, Marshall of the Hospitallers, Marshall of the Templars, mercenary bombard, norse axemen)
- Campaign: 4tpy with proper character ageing, longer movement range (!), boosted trade income, removed money scripts for the AI for faster turns (now 5x times faster!!!), edited some other minor stuff.
- Balancing: all units get +2 armor and +10 defence skill. Battles now are much smoother and much more enjoyable without so many casualties. You may also wish to edit battle_config.xml to lower weapon lethality, but I didn't tweak it since stats are enough, I think.
- Campaign: a few new portraits for eastern generals (made by me, using MTW 1 ones) and portraits for muslim princesses (sorry, I forgot the source).
- Campaign: replaced strat models for settlements with better ones from popular minimod by Agart.

Installation is simple: copy files from the archive over Expanded Americas with Renovation Project installed. Apply overwriting. Enjoy!

Hi,

I have a question. So the correct order of the installation is:

Expanded_Americas3.3_Part1.exe, then Expanded_Americas3.3_Part2.exe

then Exp_Americas+Renovation_Project - data then Exp_Americas+Renovation_Project_Tweaks

and the last two are G5 Settlement Tweaks v0.2.exe and ReallyBadAI_Install.exe

or I am wrong?

and I got a CTD while loading a battle, can someone please help!!
