Age of Discovery: Total War (completed!)

[junan2006]

Thank you!
For new world, how to invade Old world?? where is the boats?

[General Malaise]

You can't invade the Old World as a New World faction until the Europeans arrive around 1492 or so (give or take a few years). You can then hire mercenary ships from the settlers and send your troops across the ocean on them. Send a general around a coastal tile to recruit one of them when they become available.

I applaud your efforts in bringing the warfare and intrigue of the renaissance to life,a period which I feel has been largely neglected by the modding community in favour of earlier periods.The era of Pike and shot and all its pageantry finally comes to fruition.Thanks for doing this

Hmm.. did you make the map yourself?? it looks almost the same as the map from Expanded Americas mod.. but with different factions

[General Malaise]

Says in the credits in the first post I used the map from Expanded Americas.

I have downloaded this mod but I experience the white-out UI when I enter battle. What seems to be the problem?

[General Malaise]

Hello.

I installed the mod to mods folder. installed the patch . And the siege fix.
Everything is fine except the battle hud. Most of it is just white, and i can only see a few units.

I fixed it.. i just copy the display folder content to /data

Did you try that?

[Limskj]

Just did. Doesn't work.

[General Malaise]

Try deleting the battle.sd file in the mod's ui folder then.

If it still doesn't work, it sounds like something didn't install right for you, either M2TW, Kingdoms, or one of the patches. Can't be the mod installation though, as all you do is extract the game to the mods folder.

[Limskj]

It works now. Thanks General.

Hey General, just downloaded AOD and it looks great! There really needs to be more mods like this, and I'm surprised this isn't featured in the "Hosted Mods." Is it going to be hosted eventually? I think the Med2 platform has a lot of potential for post-medieval time periods (and maybe it can even pull off Civil War era- i guess we'll see with Secession:TW) Anyway thanks for a great mod, your work is appreciated.

Hi

What do i need to download with fixes to play this mod?

[General Malaise]

You don't need any fixes now. Just the latest patched version of MTW2: Kingdoms and the files (2 of them) from the strategy informer links.

thanks mate

Hi mate

Downloaded it but i am getting a error message see pic:
its the second patch age of discovery 7Z002

And am also getting my MTW game in a window and it just stays like that? see pic:

can you help me please

[General Malaise]

For the window, go to the mod folder and open the cfg file called medieval2.ageofdiscovery.txt Look for "windowed = true" and change true to false. As for the file, sounds like your download got corrupted. Try downloading again is all I can think of. I'll have a look though myself too.

[General Malaise]

As for the part 2 file, you don't need to open that separately. Is that what you're trying to do? Just go to part one, right-click, go to 7-zip menu and select extract here making sure part 2 is in the same folder and the whole thing should extract.

EDIT: Make sure you have 7-zip (7-zip, not winzip) installed and are using that too. From that screenshot it looks like you don't.
