european campagn:possible to go beyond 1812?

hi

im about to buy NTW tomorrow
i just have a question for players: is it possible to play the european campaign beyond 1812?

thanks

Dunno yet. but buy the game anyway you will love it.

Yes, you can continue playing.

I believe you can go for as long as you want cant you, if you achieve your victory conditions before 1812 you can keep playing and even if you dont you can keep playing.

ah ok ! cool

thanks guys for replyng!!

Yes you can, as any TW should

I don't care much about the victory conditions. I'll go to the East when I please

i'm the same. i dont even look at my victory conditions and just do what i want.

Yes you can, and if you want it is very easy to lengthen the Victory Condition date, for example: My GB has until 1825.

If you wish, I can explain how to do this.

Yes, you can and I've done it. I won my Russian campaign and decided to play it a bit longer - taking on the only remaining challenge - Britain.

Download this, it's the ESF editor from ETW, but the part we are using it for works.

1) After installed open.
2) Navigate to Napoleon folder, Ex: C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Napoleon Total War/date/campaigns/mp_eur_campaign
3) Now open the startpos.esf
4) Open the mp_eur_napoleon\startpos.esf (Hitting + button)
5) + the CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS
6) + CAMPAIGN_PREOPEN_MAP_INFO
7) + VICTORY_CONDITION_OPTIONS
8) Now the 5 VICTORY_CONDITION_OPTIONS that come up are for the 5 different factions (In order: Austria, Britain, Russia, Prussia, France)
9) Open you're faction of choice that you want to change. (by hitting the + next to that VICTORY_CONDITION_OPTIONS)
10) + ALL 3 VICTORY_CONDITIONS_BLOCK
11) Open ALL 3 CAMPAIGN_VICTORY_CONDITIONS
12) Check everyone that says "Date" and change the first entry (which will already say 1812 or 1813 for Prussia) to whichever value you like!
MAKE SURE TO CHECK EVERY DATE ENTRY FOR THAT FACTION, THERE SHOULD BE 2 YOU CHANGE!

Hope this made sense and helps guys.

Thanks I'll try that and change to 1815. Do you need to do it for all the major factions before starting a new campaign ? +rep

thanks

Don't forget to take a copy of the file before you make any changes. We can't post unmodded files on this forum - so if you need to revert to 'vanilla' (or if you make a mistake when editing) - take a copy.

Yes, one can continue. As for the Napoleonic Europe campaign, it is winnable in over a year on hard. I've yet to try the coalition.

I changed the victory date for the Coalition Campaign to 1815. There's a thread somewhere showing how to change the startpos file. Then I'll play vh/m and see if I can still win, vh/vh seems a bit too much if militia can beat guard on that level.
