    Default Fix for missing descriptions on DLC!

    Ok, if you miss the description for your DLC, like in the pic below, here is what worked out fine for me. For non-english version it also liberate you from these cruel english/german mixes.

    My missing description was caused by a remain of the DarthMod and some remains of the first Lordz mappack.

    Note: This is kind of noobish fix, but its easy and it works. Its just about to restore the vanilla version. If you have more patients and you dont want to miss your beloved mods, have a look here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=331099

    If you want to have the description on the DLC Units follow step 1 and 2:

    1. Check your vanilla files! You will find them here:
    c:/programme/steam/steamapps/common/empire total war/data

    There are a lot of files- you have to check them. This is the list of vanilla file you should find there- if you find more than this, just delete it.
    Edit I: Or put them into a new folder on your desktop! (Not sure, if that will be working- feedback required)
    My filenames differs maybe a bit, cause i have a german version, dont mind that.
    Here we go:

    2. Vanilla files & folders inside data folder:

    campaign_maps (folder)
    campaigns (folder)
    ui (folder)
    all_scripted.lua
    anim.pack
    battle_scripted.lua
    battlepresets.pack
    battleterrain.pack
    boot.pack
    groupformations.pack
    language.txt
    local_ge.pack
    main.pack
    models.pack
    movies.pack
    patch.pack
    patch2.pack
    patch3.pack
    patch4.pack
    patch_ge.pack
    seasurfaces.pack
    sound_non_wavefile_data.pack
    sounds.pack
    sounds_animation_triggers.pack
    sounds_campaign.pack
    sounds_music.pack
    sounds_other.pack
    sounds_placeholder.pack
    sounds_sfx.pack
    subtitles.pack
    supertexture.pack
    terrain_templates.pack
    testdata.pack
    ui.pack
    ui_movies.pack
    voices.pack

    If your vanilla data folder looks like this, verify your data on steam (just to get sure), start the game and have fun with the unit descriptions.

    If you're dealing with the devil, it's not the devil who changes, but rather the devil change you - for sanity is like a spider, sitting in a net woven from the finest of strings, unaware of the hand coming closer, being grabbed and stuffed into a mouth.

    So, does that mean we have to get rid of mods!?

    I rather not have descriptions then and keep my mods, which are just some reskins and ornamentum.

    This is your choice, mate. I rather enjoy both. If you have enough space on you pc, you can make one data folder vanilla and another with the data folder of your desired mod. Just change the folders at your likes...

    I have edited the OP to point out a few thing. I know it had helped a few people already... and i´m a bit tense- first timer on a issue like this.
