I recently installed M:TW on my new laptop. As you may guess, I suffered from the same problems as many others here (such as getting ctd'ing when return from a battle to the campaign map). There...

Not currently, I don't think. Thinking about ten years back, there were several games that followed a similar concept, albeit generally on a smaller scale. One prime example would be Lords of the...

Ah yes, the Mongols. I have many fond memories of them from my Turkish campaign in Medieval I. Greatest challenge ever, and the eventual victory just felt so good.

Good luck defeating them...

A flag is a symbol, useful under certain circumstances but not something to be revered. The aesthetic value of a country's flag (or for that matter a regional flag) says absolutely nothing about...

Just to let you guys know: I don't know whether what the review says is true, I haven't even read read it. This is just the opinion of one games journalist. I have read several reviews, even in the...

Well I for one am still reserving judgement until I can read some community reviews, particularly from people who were critical of Rome.
If the majority of fans think that Medieval 2 is better than...

A bit of info for you regarding reviews: Two German magazines came out today for subscribers (to whom I don't belong in either case). Both of them reviewed Medieval 2. GameStar Germany gave it 91%,...

Well my motto is: If you don't like it, mod it. It should be fairly easy to remove the one bridge from the campaign map.

Somehow it's understandable. I'd hate to think how the poor AI would cope if it was on an island in the sea :shocked: .

In the end, despite the fact that this is inaccurate, I wouldn't exactly...

I don't know. But I had a very similar problem (unspecified error during the battle loading screen). I fixed it by switching my PC off for a bit, then restarting. It worked fine afterwards.

Have...

I guess you can use a program like FRAPS if you want to make a video. Or perhaps there really is an option using the demo (I don't know, I don't have it).

Edit: Damn! Two people beat me to it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that historically, Henry won Azincourt by keeping his men in position. He simply by moving his archers into range, making them dig spikes in,...

I should think (or at least hope) that CA would fix this issue for the main release. Remember that this version probably "split off" from the full game while it was still in beta stage, and was then...

PC Gamer US (legally). We poor sods in Europe have to wait until it's officially released.

Have I got this wrong or can't both be possible? Surely you could be able to train foot knights in a castle, probably at a lower recruitment price and upkeep than mounted knights. Of course, you...

P4 2.4 GHz
1 GB RAM
128 MB Radeon 9700

Depends on what you mean by "easily": I'd probably have difficulty playing it on the highest settings (and I doubt I'd be able to get flashy shader...

thanks :)

Where and when did CA state that they didn't want gunpowder era battles (link)? If it's true, I'd say it's a real shame: NTW 1 and 2 are both very fun to play and don't deviate too much from the...

I would like to see renaissance Europe in the expansion. I think it should start with the emergence of standing armies, and end in an era when gunpowder dominates the battlefield. Personally, I would...

I'm not sure what you mean by unit cards. if you're talking about the unit cards that appear in the GUI, they all look OK to me. Fyrdmen too, at least for the Battle of Hastings.

I don't know. I only remember there being 17 playable factions mentioned in previews, although they might all have omitted the possibility of unplayable factions. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if...

CA should hire you. I'm serious. :shocked:
Those shots are really first class, particularly the atmospheric walls of pikes.

Seeing as how this thread has become obsolete, I'm now closing this. If anyone wants it reopened, please PM me or another dev with moderator abilities.

Seeing as how a new patch has been released, it would seem appropriate toopen up a new bug thread. So go ahead: Post any bugs that you find in the new version! I hope you enjoy playing... :thumbsup:

I doubt it. I would recommend reinstalling ChivTW v0.34 if you haven't got it.

Actually, Welsh Longbowmen should be for hire as mercenaries in the early era, but that doesn't work in the current version due to a bug. Proper longbowmen will have to wait till the high era.

I've got two favorite series really (OK three, I like LOTR too :cool: )

Firstly, the Discworld series. For reasons that other people have pretty much stated. Easy reading at it's best, yet still...

I assume Ewan meant that it was quick and easy for CA, as it wouldn't mean having to set up their own system (like Blizzard did with battle.net). Of course, as any online gamer will tell you, GameSpy...

Despite having lived in Switzerland for almost my whole life, I still don't think the Swiss would make a good faction. Up until 1848, the Confederation was just that: A loose alliance of cantons,...

Indeed this is a bug and will be fixed in the patch. The cavalry unit for Denmark in previous betas was Mounted Nobles, pretty similar to knights. The generals are on foot though, at least in the...

Very difficult choice, but I have to go with Blackadder (Series II-IV, that is).

Of course, there are lots of others like Fawlty Towers, Little Britain, League of Gentlemen, Red Dwarf... the list...

It's a well-known phenomenon that mercenaries cause CTD's. This will be fixed in the next patch, and there is already a mini-patch for the mercs-

Armies disappearing on the campaign map is also a...

Yes, that's fixable. It's to do with several units haven gotten new skins since the last beta, but without having their sprites updated to match the colours. When you zoom out, the units that you see...

The patch will be released when it's ready :wink: .

I'm not sure that's possible (I'm not really the scripting type). However, what should be possible would be to give the AI factions a certain amount of money per year automatically. That would not...

The trees should theoretically be small (a more realistic size) but for some reason grow bigger when you get close to them

The cities haven't been converted yet.
Mercenaries should be available...

You can run Chiv with either RTW v1.5 or BI v.1.6. In either case, you need the newest patch.
Depending on which you use, you'll need a different target on your shortcut, and you'll need to play...

Now if you don't think that's impressive, then you seriously need medical attention :thumbsup: .

Edit:



No, they have gothic armour, along with the appropriate helmet, a sallet. I believe it...

Have a look at this thread, there are plenty.

Just thought I'd post this here too, in case anyone was interested (so far, the MP community hasn't been very active).

If anyone wants a game now, PM me, contact me on MSN or meet me in the lobby....
