I can't build a hot dog stand in my city because there aren't enough building slots.
Nope.
I'm sick of explaining why.
If I really want to pick up TW again, it's still modded m2tw or nothing.
Am I the only one with this problem?
I don't think I can play this if I'm completely blinded by these voids when swords and archers fight.
Perhaps it has something to do with not disabling UAC...
Seems you are right, kostic.
At least Miles Pedites fighting levy archers causes giant geometrical voids of black, white, or colour in the area they fight.
We have to move away from the area and...
I just fired this mod up and the first bug I encountered was a graphical one.
My entire screen was immersed in geometrical cluster:wub:s in particular areas of siege maps within cities. If I would...
What is the limit to military occupation government selection?
Is there a numerical or geographical limit or is it a soft cap or something?
Thank you.
Auto Management: If deselecting the AI's ability to build or recruit also does not allow the player to build or recruit, there is a 3rd play style introduced to the campaign.

Do the Tribal and Protectorate options carry on to end game?

So, I'm on windows 10 and using steam.
Do i need to launch from launch .bat just once? or hereafter?
I uninstalled the typical windows way rather than chance running the wrong file.
Reinstalled for the start menu stuff and found that it was the EB_Launcher .exe.
The installation instructions are...
I was trying to launch launch .bat as administrator and it wasn't working.
I then successfully launched the game from EB_Launcher .exe and it worked.
I eventually tried to launch launch .bat not...
I'm trying to run launch.bat, but it turns up this error in command prompt:
ERROR: Cannot find the M2TW executable. You probably installed EB2 into the wrong folder. EB2 must be installed directly...
1) So you just left it with medieval2.exe as the only .exe and ran from the ebii bat?
I know that the steam's medieval2.exe is now both launchers, so I suppose the game is fine with just that?
...
1) I installed the steam version of m2tw and there is no kingdoms.exe. I dug up that I'm to copy the medieval2.exe and rename it "kingdoms"?
2) I wasn't aware I needed to add the shortcut, so I am...
I was having issues in windows 10 setting the "Medieval 2 Total War" permissions.
I was getting "Failed to enumerate objects in the container" and some other error messages.
I found this site...
do i need to install patch 1.5?
also, i believe the game needs to be:
1) installed (or moved) into a separate folder than program files (like your username folder). Also delete virtualstore.
2)...
...making good money, but not good games.
After about a decade, I'm still playing m2tw.
They need to hone in on the ideal campaign/battle mode designs and then crank out theme parks.
DLC is...
Considering how heavily they've butchered the game over the past decade, I don't have much hope at all for any future releases.
No matter what theme park they offer, their current design is too...
Campaign mode: Garbage.
Battle mode: Seiges are pretty bad. There's a severe lack of battle maps because for whatever reason they are no longer seeded from campaign map. Battles are too quick to...
I'm assuming that the campaign is supposed to simulate the management of a kingdom. If not, then what is the campaign supposed to be about?
This campaign style simulates the movement of armies...
the feeling that i'm managing a kingdom.

it's far, far too gamey.
there's way too much emphasis on the battle mode which turns out to be a constant spam of short...
there's no time to watch the battle. there is only time to issue orders.
i'm not sure who you're talking about, but if "it is just your preference", then there is no realism.
it'll be easy to...
Is the campaign map going to be completely revamped to be immersive, intriguing, and strategic?
Or is it still going to be a streamlined and simplified console game?
I loved watching the...
at least they've got a good sense of humour.
ah that's a shame. i suppose i have to reassign my push-to-talk hotkey whenever i alternate to and from a campaign of this, then. no biggie.
thank you for the response.
good fantasies are those that are believable. a fantasy that isn't believable just alienates the audience. it wouldn't be immersive. this isn't what i meant, though.
i was more speaking of the game...
if ranged accuracy determines area of effect rather than hit/miss

apologies if this has been asked already, but i'm curious about how to reassign hotkeys: specifically, how to get rid of them.
i never use skirmish mode... ever, for javelins especially, since their range is low. i make good use of the fire at will button. it's situational.
i love javelins. they don't always appear in my...
...and medieval 2 was build on relatively sturdy ground.
everything after was built on a sarlacc
post medieval2, ranged precision is unbelievable.
missiles used to have an area of effect. now, missiles are hit or miss.
:rebounce:
well played, good sir. well played. with this, i am left satisfied.
your fiery rage dried my tears...
but they just keep coming. they spring from choices in mechanics :crying:
still playing stainless steel 6.4
i expected them to not deliver what i want, and they succeeded. i'm 60$ richer, but that doesn't make me happy.
what i WANT them to do is another thing.
i want pre-empire total war. i want them...
this! this! so much this, it hurts!
sorry, i'm a bit of a forum noob. makes sense that i can't edit, but i wish i could.
This seems like an Contradictio in terminis. Shogun 2's method of limiting the amount of buildings you could build in a settlement forces you to make choices. As opposed to MED2, which basically only...
