DLV Americas, Teutonic Knights & Britannia - Bug Report, Comments Thread

**derdrakken** · October 28, 2007, 04:35 PM

Okay brothers, I haven't come up to a solution for the missing text, but I have put up a new upgrade file DLV_Britannia_1_2c_Upgrade.exe

It's a cumulative upgrade file, containing all the changes since the initial 1.1 install.

New stuff contained therein:
1. Fix for undead King of Norway (Zombies!!!)
2. Adds four new regions: Waterford (Ireland), Barnstaple (Devon), Cardigan (Wales) and Berwick (Scotland) with accompanying heraldry (and siege script natch)
3. Other minor tweakage...

Hope that takes the sting out a bit

Cheers!

Many thanks.

I'm from Cornwall and always resented how empty the various incarnations of MTW2 always leave the West Country. I mean, Bodmin and Plymouth weren't exactly metropolitan giants during the Middle Ages, but they did exist.

Barnstaple may be a far-distant northern town, from the Cornish perspective, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

This bugs (no text and messed campaign graphics is a result of missing the vanilla sd files.

in the vanilla path C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\ui
should be the vanilla sd files (not the modded sd ones in the mod files)
- battle.sd
-shared.sd
-strategy.sd

I have attached the 3 standard ones in the zip file: unzip and put the 3 files into
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\ui

DER. Have all problems Champlain has but game runs well. I've tried all ways of trying to get a foot hold as English VH/VH, I can't do it. Armies, Money, plus allicances if i can get one, and in between, just nothing works. If anyone has idea let me know, I'm at odds. DLV 5 I am in year 1389 winning, kind of. Moors real strong in Africa.

@ DD

Nice job on the addition of Waterford, the SE of Ireland was pretty barren. Noticed as well that you did some work on expanding the Irish family tree (and it looks like you axed O'Briens wife).

Nice work, and thanks for the update

I had the same problems to start with.
I solved it by giving away those Irish regions that were too exensive to ever be an adantage at the start, making peace if possible. I needed a big income to culturally convert and defend those regions anyway. Concentrate mostly on fighting the BA and then the Welsh while you build up your economy.

Playing the BA is much easier because you only need to fight the English and don't need to do any major cultural conversion, but if you defeat the English you actually destroy your own faction due to the bug I posted earlier.

**derdrakken** · October 29, 2007, 11:43 PM

I follow Arthur W's strategy for the English. Abandon Ireland immediately, get the troops from Ireland on to the Welsh frontier and fight a holding action there. With what mobile troops you can scrape up, destroy the Barons Alliance. I try to take Oxford on turn 2 with troops from London, Nottingham and the surrounding environs. Then head south to take Arundel.

The Welsh will grind up your forces on the frontier, but with luck you'll finish off the Barons Alliance before they break through. The crusaders often arrive in the nick of time to either polish off the Barons or reinforce the frontier.

Cheers!

Since installing update 1.2c I have been unable to start a new campaign.

I can still load & play my 1.2a save games, but when I click "Start" to begin a new campaign I just get taken back to the single player menu.

Can anybody make suggestions please?

Have you tried deleting the map.rwm file in dlv_british_isles\data\world\maps\base? If that doesn't work try deleting the BIN files in dlv_british_isles\data\text. Files will regenerate.

I had already deleted the map.rvm and just tried deleting the bin files as well, but alas to no avail. I still go back to the 'Single Player Menu'.

Thanks for the help all the same.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated!

Of course what I hadn't done was to delete these files from the Virtual Store. Which is where anybody with Vista will need to delete them I believe.

I had just been posting something along these lines to somebody else in the Vista thread... so I should have realized straight away.

Well anyway, removing these files has fixed my issue. Many thanks Harry Lime.

Oh... one small side effect was that I lost the merchant info. Spooky.

This was fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling DLV Britannia.

**Harry Lime** · October 31, 2007, 02:03 PM

Glad to hear it's working correctly Iron Duke.

Personally I'm not touching Vista with a bargepole, attached to a barge!

At least that is until I absolutely have too

**derdrakken** · October 31, 2007, 11:22 PM

Oh the blues of Vista...I've got to see if the Duke of Wellington's "Virtual Store" is what is fouling up my DLV 5.1...sure sounds like it.

For my friend Midwinter, here is a picture of the new Devon in the upcoming 1.2d update...

Cheers!

King Haakon may not be a zombie, but he still does some Voodoo!

He's 62, thats fine, Margret is 58, yep thats all fine.

Their son, Frederik Haakonson, is 7.
Wow, thats amazing even by todays standards!

Bless the old fella, he's done the business!
It must have been a romantic Friday..
