France Campaign, a few questions.

**Andytheplatypus** · November 08, 2010, 11:04 AM

Hey guys I had a few questions.

First off I have been playing a Early Campaign for France for a few months now, and its currently the year 1344. I dont remember which AI I am using. Difficulty is on H/H

I expected the mongols to arrive already but they are a no show, when do they normally arrive?

When do Timurid's arrive?

Is it possible to make archers charge and attack with melee weapons while they still have ammunition? I see the AI can do it, but is it possible for me to do? If so, how?

What year will I be able to recruit late period units? Like Lancers?

Thanks in advance

The mongols arrive around 1220 or so.
Timurids appear around 1300-1350 if I remember correctly.
To make archers do melee, hold alt+right click.
Different units become available at different times.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So if the mongols are supposed to arrive in 1220 and its 1344....? What the

why didnt they show up?

Is Ireland showing up properly on your mini-map, or is it partially/completely cut off?
If it is, then your campaign script is broken, and nothing scripted will run, which includes the Mongols and Timurids.

No Ireland is completely there, I took it over almost at the beginning of the game.

**Meneth** · November 08, 2010, 11:21 AM

On your mini-map in the lower left corner. Not on the actual game map.

**Andytheplatypus** · November 08, 2010, 11:23 AM

Everything is there on the mini map. Doesnt look like anything is cut off

**Meneth** · November 08, 2010, 11:24 AM

Okay.
I have no idea why the mongols haven't spawned, then.
Are you using any sub-mods?

**Andytheplatypus** · November 08, 2010, 11:25 AM

Only sub-mods im using is the compendium from when I started the campaign a few months ago.

I guess you used the fow of war cheat?

**JorisofHolland** · November 08, 2010, 12:21 PM

Easier option: check if the Mongols are there in diplomacy menu.

**Andytheplatypus** · November 08, 2010, 01:22 PM

Yes I did use the FOW cheat, but that has never messed it up before.

No they are not in the diplomacy menu

should be able to hit "scroll lock" to see what AI you are using buddy (I think lol)

**Spartan90** · November 08, 2010, 09:29 PM

Maybe they're already dead?

**Arker** · November 08, 2010, 10:04 PM

Check in the faction rankings scroll. Even if the mongols are dead, they'll still be on there.

**Gunodd** · November 09, 2010, 01:37 AM

Creepy. I wonder what happened to them.

**k/t** · November 09, 2010, 01:47 AM

Temujin had a normal childhood.

**Caesar Clivus** · November 09, 2010, 02:55 AM

Are you getting any historical events at all? If not, that'd be your problem You've either got them turned off in your config files or you've got the bug that turns them off. Meneth can tell you more about that one.

**Andytheplatypus** · November 09, 2010, 09:15 AM

No they arent dead. They never showed up.

As far as I know everything is working except mongols. This is far from my first campaign. I have been playing m2tw and rome before that for years. This is the first time this has happened, just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone knew why it happened.
