Empire Mod Questions & Recommendations

[♔Dignan♔]

Also. Does anyone know where I can find an Irish Reskin mod? Something that adds some character to the Irish units?

Hey everybody,

I'm currently downloading Empire off of Steam again (felt a hankering to play a campaign), but I'm in a bit of a unique situation. The download has so far coursed 2 days, and over 16 hours of traffic because my connection at university is so terrible. In an attempt to avoid breaking the installation and having to do it again, is there a single mod out there which has a "comprehensive" or "universal" retexture? IE can I download/install this one mod, and all of the factions will have retextured uniforms? Or will I still have to download them all individually?

Thanks!

hi yall, ive tried the search function so see if theres already a mod that does this, but i couldnt find anything,
im looking for an animation mod that combines the rifle animation and the musket_sword animation, e.g you could have troops that fired the breech loading rifle or the airgun (so they use the proper animation, currently my troops are muzzle loading breech loading rifles and airguns) and use swords in melee, it would be amazingly useful if someone could make something like this or direct me to something pre existing

Anyone have this modification ? If someone have then maybe you can give me a working download link?

I was sent this way to post this:

What I am looking for specifically: Playing as the United States in the Grand Campaign starting in 1700. That's all, not 1783, not in some customized fashion, just plain ole US. Yes, I know it isn't historically accurate, yes I know the 13 Colonies are there. I can't revolt with the 13 Colonies and become the US, the game just ends, I've tried. I don't want some giant mod that changes everything about the game, I just want one little thing.


Any help is deeply appreciated.

Hello, long time lurker here.. I've got ETW some time ago and by old habit wanted to play the Papal states, but found that their roster is completely boring with no unique units at all. I got really attracted to this faction in Medieval (swiss/papal guard, oh yeah) and would like to know if there are any mods that add anything interesting to it. Haven't found anything myself, the poor pope is even less popular in ETW than in M2.

Thanks in advance!

None that I know of, not even a reskin. I'm fairly sure all the other Italian factions have skins/units though.

Hello Priscilla.
There is some skins for this faction done by General Cornwallis.

An old release but it works. there no ctd cause of it. (i remember some zoom issue with colors on line inf but it may comes from another of the mod i use)
This is just reskin.

One solution for having a more interesting roster with minor faction, is to use the mod A.U.M. (From Swiss Halberdier and his team)
More unit from various kind and for ALL faction (vanilla playable or not).
For example papal got great troops from Swiss.

Enjoy.
And thanks all those people for the job

Thanks! The retexes are sweet, however the swiss units of AUM are given out only to UP and the french. Thats no prob though, I can fix that in DBEditor. There's also ToonTotalWar, a part of his grand unit mod gives the italian states Papal Swiss Guard (reskinned colonial militia) so I use that too.

[Toniho]

You are right about Swiss
Things have change since i've played Italian. Now they don't have swiss troops in the base roster.

As Austria i got access to swiss troop when i take Venice. (with last AUM version)
So i guess it will be the same for Papal.
btw You need a first level Inn (!) for accessing Merceneray troops (Infantry, Jaeger and pikemen for swiss.)
I didn't try but i guess it will be the same with Savoie.

[♛☧Priscilla☧♛]

Ive just tried it out, swiss line infantry works perfectly.
But since I play darthmod (for the big battles) the mercenaries are disabled. I'll see if its possible to bring them back in.

EDIT: It worked when i switched out the DMUC version of AUM and put in the original AUM, and then added all the swiss units to the it. states in db editor
swiss pikemen galore!

Now we just need a mod that adds the Pope, Papal elections in for Catholic factions, and portraits of the Pope in the triple crown tiara, and ministers in bishops mitres . ( a special Saint Peter's Basilica building, instead of a palace, would be nice too. ) I really really miss the Pope in ETW.

[Geronimo2006]

I don't believe so Cozur.

[irish437]

Can I install this separately? If so where is it? Thanks.

[Jevon]

You'll need to head over the mod section to find this, although I'm not exactly sure what the current state of the stand-alone version of this mod is - it might be a bit outdated (from November?). I think it was both Hip63 and Isabellxxx that have made modifications to it since they included it into the DarthMod Ultimate Commander package and they have been good improvements.

Here is the individual mod's thread and here is the thread where you can get the DMUC pack /w the handy-dandy self installer (I'd get this, as it includes so many other fixes and enhancements and I can personally confirm European invasions using DMUC).

Enjoy!

Well, it will probably surprise you that in my maratha game (difficulty hard), GB did an invasion of India (around 1707 or so could be earlier). Luckily i just had two full stacks nearby, so i crushed them in two battles.

And of course portugal declared war too, but they were easily stopped. now in the year 1738, and the Britains haven't tried anything anymore

Yeah, they will invade if you are the Maratha, but do nothing if the Maratha is computer controlled.

I want to download the mod that is part of Darth's Mod without the rest of Darth Mod to do some testing.
