Thanks a lot!!It works!! Another one question...My internet connection has a really serious problem. Without internet i can't login to Steam and as a result a can't play neither Hellas Mod and ETW. There is a way to play out of Steam?

**husserlTW** · July 16, 2012, 11:43 AM

Yes, start Steam select Go Off line (Steam menu). After that you can start always Steam off line.

Ok...Now a new problem...When I start the game i can see normal the first screen with kapodistrias etc but after that the game crashes back to the desktop...Any ideas?

Post your log report (it is in ...\empire total war\Hellas).

Can't find it. Never mind cause i try to re-install the mod and the problem solved. But i think that something runs with the units.

1) I see greek units in battle only with black clothes and body.

2) when I select Play Battle at Greece all is ok but at the other countries I can't pick a general and they have few units.

Try to re-install the mod but nothing happened.

I don't know if its something but the problems starts when i select offline mode in steam and remove the disk from laptop. I also install the game in my desktop and runs perfectly until now.

Thanks for your time!

is there a chance to make this great mod work with DarthMod, or apply it to the Causus Belli submod??

basically is there a way to make it work with DarthMod custom campaign ?

sorry for the stupid question!
I have read both threads: Greek Mod v. 2.3 with AOR system and Greek Mod v. 3.0 with AOR system but
I still don't get it.
I have installed the vanilla version(original with steam). Should I install direct the Hellas_setup.7z and theHellas_301Fix.7z or should I install first the version 2.2 and 2.3 and then the Hellas_setup.7z ?

**husserlTW** · July 31, 2012, 04:09 AM

Where did you see the setup for v. 2.3? Anyway you should install Hellas setup and then the 3.0.1 fix.

Γεια σου Αγρίνιο!

My E.T.W. - "Hellas - The Great Idea" experiences

Hi there!!!

On this thread i am going to inform you about my experiences, ideas and bugs/problems i face playing the game...
Please read all the thread, no parts of it,so the missaderstandings will be avoided...

Firstly, i want to thanks everyone that work on this project. I do not know if there is a team or just one guy, but in any case, thanks to whome that create the Greek patch.

I was thrilled when i learned about the possibility to play E.T.W. with Hellas...
But let us take the things from the beggining...

About a year and a half ago, i saw on internet about Napoleon Total War and Empire Total War, and i liked it very much...
As you may understand i am a Total War fun-player for about a dacade... Rome,Barbarian,Alexander,Medieval and all the patches that you can patch on them... I play and i am good...

So it did not took me a lot of time untill i installed E.T.W. and N.T.W. on my P.C. . Of course because i have ecomomical difficulties, those installations was not originals. Although was running fine...
I started playing N.T.W.... The battles,the campaigns,the coallition as Russia... Then i palyed E.T.W. (Special Forces Edition Repack) and i played as G.Britain and captured all regions in 300-350 turns... Then i played the Road to Independence to the end...

As you imagine i started to feel that something was missing. It was Hellas.
I knew that the historical time wasinnacurate (because Greek Revolution took place on 1821) but i started looking for a mod that could make Greece playable on Napoleon and Empire...

First i find Napoleon Total Factions but the Greek army has only 3,4 or 5 units and they was speaking Turkish... Then it came the Big Smile. I found Balkan Mod for N.T.W. and i was pleased. I played it, enjoyed it but let us face it, N.T.W. as a game has its limits. First example is the campaign map...
So even if Balkan Mod is great and i still have it, i try to find something like that on E.T.W. ...

aND, I FIND A LOT OF THEM, INCLUDING Greek Mod-Hellas,The Great Idea... But as a fool o tried to installed it on a non-original E.T.W. Special Forces Edition Repack , version, and so i failed...
Then i inform everyone that i know with skills in programming to find a solution...
It tokk me a year... I was always playing Balkan Mod on N.T.W., and waiting untill this Great Guy, Kostas from a Greek Island managed to make it work...

As he said to me, an original version of the game was needed plus some patches 1.5 etc etc... Allthough he made it playable with out the original version. I do not know how he did it. I just know that with a simple copy-paste of his files to my Programme Files the game is working...
I was thrilled. I played the game and the first week i was impressed and happy.

I start a campaign of world domination and from Peloponissos i captured all Balkans, all Austrian and Ottoman regions, the whole italian penninsula, crimea, egypt, all middle east including Dagestan, Persia, the Afganistan territories, the Mughal Empire and tha half India... Then i campaign to Iceland and Norway... All was nice and smooth...
And here beguns the problems... My last working save file, and by working i mean a save file that can accually be load-able is the year 1873.
All my saves of year '74, '75......up to 1881 are not load-able...

First i thought that maybe that is a problem of -4turns per year, but i checked it by creating 4 saves for every turn of the year 1880 and none was able to load.
So i do not know if that is a problem of my strange installation or a problem of the patch...
Maybe there is a date that the campaign expires and the game does not go on, does not reloading... About 220 turns is ok, after that is the problem...

That was one. An other problem is that every know and then, some titles or sentenses on the campaign massages, when appear does not look normal but the letters are just a hundrend dots here nad there, no letter just dots in the ear...

And an other bug is that i think some unts are not playable because i tried some battles and the game crushes... After a research i did here is the list of the not workin unit :
Austria : Hungarian Grenadiers + Household cavalary
Great Britain : Horse Guards
France : Swiis Guard
United Provinces : Blue Guard + Garde de Corp
Poland-Lithuania : Guard Grenadiers + Household cavalary
Prussia : Frei-Korps + Bosniaks cavalary + Household cavalary
Russia : Semenovski Foot Guards + Household cavalary + Garde a Cheval
Spain : Wallon
U.S.A. : U.S. Mariners + Legion of U.States + Household cavalary

Note that thankfully all the Hellenic Army units are palyable, even if the unit is inlisted on the above list... For example the Frei-Korps are not playable only with Prussia, with Greece are playable, same with Legion of U.States etc etc...
All naval units seems fine, no problem yet found.
Note again that those problems withs units maybe is problem of my strange installation and not of the patch. I do no really know...

That was all the bugs and problems i find.
It still is the best mod. Now some suggestions and ideas...

Good idea about Theodoros Kolokotronis and Nikitaras "Tourkofagos". Maybe you put some more heroes...
Allthough i was expected a special horse unit for Kolokotronis. but still it is ok, never mine...

Also when revolution happens in Athens-Greece, maybe you put a new flag for the revolutioners and perhaps this could be the same flag without the royal badge of Bavaria.
Further more, when revolt happens should the already recruited units should not be erased or replaced by ordinary units but should stick around and be used by the new goverment... Great idea of course the new 2 dimocratic units but maybe we could hold the other 2. No for new recruits, just the already existing regiments...

Also maybe you double the capacity of some units. 6,8,12,15 etc it seems to small numbers for me. You see, i always try to capture all regions of the map,whatever the objectives are .... So 6 regiments or 15 of one kind of unit i think is low...
Up to here with my anoying bugs and ideas. No i am going to thank you once again for the units, the buldings and all the patch...

The whole thing is superb.

I wish if you release new fixes and versions, those to be just replacing files with easy copy-paste action, because it is not easy to find again a proper installation that is patch-able...
Hopping that you did not missaderstood my sayings, i am waiting for any replies...

Sorry for my bad English...
Kepp the nice work.

Extra notes
My best Total War patches, except of yours, are : Europa Barbaroroum, Aristeia, Hegemonia City States and Balkan Mod...
And even if i love the ancient times, i thing the E.T.W. is the top work of the Total War serries...

Thanks for the detailed feed back. About historical heroes it was actually a test and I am planning to add more n the future. For the moment I am working on DarthMod launcher and campaigns, preparing the new platinum update. When I am done I'll update the mod.

I am strongly interest about the save bug. It has not been reported again. Do you have kept one of these saves? Can you zip and upload one so I can check it?

Btw have in mind that you can play Greek Mod with Darthmod (it is included in Casus Belli sub mod for DrathMod). Also for Napoleon you can try National Revolutions where we have work Balkans a bit further, added missions, etc.
