How to use the new generic settlements?

**Mister Awesome** · December 27, 2011, 08:20 AM

I'm trying to figure this one out but I can't seem to find a solid answer to this one I've looked everywhere on the forum I could not find the answer to how one can enable the new generic settlements.
Like the new elven and orc ones for example, is it not included in 3.0 yet?

They are included, but all levels arent done yet

So how do I enable them?

Wow that's a really helpful answer thanks for the contribution.

They are enabled. All levels arent just done yet

And with "all the levels aren't done yet" he means this:

An orc village looks like an orc village
An orc town looks like an orc town
An orc large town looks like an orc large town
An orc city looks like an orc city

But orc large cities and huge cities (I'm not sure about the large cities) haven't been made yet, so they appear like regular towns.

Ah ok so...I just select like village then as culture orc and it will work?

I assume you want to use the new generic settlements in custom battles? If so, you must select the tier of the settlement you want and select the right culture (Orcish or Elven, for example).

Mmm I haven't tried them in custom battles myself, but that is supposed to work yes

I just realized these is no such thing as an Orc culture sooo....I'm kinda lost again maybe Evil Men? If I do custom it will mostly revert to a unique settlement.

**Dutch-Balrog** · December 27, 2011, 09:10 AM

there is no orc culture in custom battles.

Then it seems you can't use the new generic settlements in custom battles. I don't have access to TATW 3.1 currently, so I can't be sure.

**Mister Awesome** · December 27, 2011, 09:12 AM

Does this mean that the new generic settlements are not enabled in custom battle?

**Mhaedros** · December 27, 2011, 09:13 AM

Yes

**Dutch-Balrog** · December 27, 2011, 10:22 AM

Just play the campaign, and you will see enough of the new generics and custom settlements.

I actually play total war games for the battles only, never liked the campaigns. Just managing all sorts of stuff makes me crazy, I find the battles to be amazing though that's why I play these games
