The game works like a charm with the hotfix! Thnx Nep!

However, there is one little problem..

When i am playing as the "River Zora" they can´t recruit anything but "Manhunters/Unspecifiesd clansmen".. And after i´ve built a few buildings i can´t recruit those either!

Are you supposed to conquer settlements with the "River Zora" or does their armies spawn only when you don´t posess any cities or towns?

I think they are really cool and i would want to conquer with them but they never get any units..

The River Zora should not be playable in the campaign at the moment, I'm not sure how you were able to select them in the first place.

[Mr_Nygren]

I put them in "unlockable factions"- category. And they are playable bacause of their armies being spawned on the first turn. They don´t have any settlements but they have "raiders" along the rivers that you can control.

But in "Custom battle" they have a full roster?

[UndyingNephalim]

They were only supposed to be playable in Custom Battles for this release. I have not finished all the scripting needed for them to work in the campaign yet, hence why they were not selectable in the campaign in the first place.

Zelda Art Contest and Prizes

As a way to get the Zelda fandom a bit more involved and perhaps open up more interest, I'm hosting a contest involving Hyrule: Total War

So what exactly will be going on for this "contest"?

The Goal:
Hyrule: Total War currently features a vast selection of renders that display on loading screens. Depending on what race you play as, you'll be treated to images pertaining to that race while a battle loads. For example if you are playing as the Zora, you'll see the Zora in action as well as tidbits of information about them while the match loads. I'd love to call upon some of the great artists floating amongst the Zelda fandom to contribute pieces of art to my Zelda game. There will be prizes for the best of the best!

Rules:
- The picture will be shrunk to 1280 x 1024, so it is recommended it be done in landscape format and not portrait format.

- Please inform me of what you are going to do and the subject matter before starting.

- The picture has to do with Hyrule: Total War and has to fit with the designs of characters in it. For example, if you want to create a picture of Princess Zelda leading an army of Hylians, she and the Hylians should look like how they are portrayed in Hyrule: Total War and not Windwaker or Skyward Sword. For images of characters in Hyrule: Total War, click here: http://undyingnephalim.deviantart.co...List-260577520 or request a render from me.

- Going along with the previous rule, stick to a realistic style. It can be exaggerated a little but keep the proportions as realistic as possible. No Toon or Anime styled art will be accepted, this game is based largely off of the Twilight Princess art style and that is a good base to go off of.
Examples of the kind of art I am looking for:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

- Digital media is highly preferred. The previous examples are pretty much what I'm looking for. If you'd like to try something different like a cosplay or other media let me know first what you intend to do to see if I approve of it or not.

- I'm searching for the best of the best. My Zelda game is pushing to be as high quality as possible so I might be a bit picky about what I choose.

Type of Images:
You'll have a degree of freedom as to what the actual content in the image will be, but here are some examples of what you can do:

- Character close-up: A close up of a character, such as Princess Zelda or Ganon. For added effect, adding soldiers of the respective character's faction behind them or in the background would be awesome.

- Army pinup: A picture of one of the faction's armies either preparing for battle or marching into it. An example would be a formation of Gerudo archers preparing their bows at an armory or an army of Moblins marching through a forest. For added effect, including one of the iconic characters from the series leading them would be awesome.

- Battle: A battle between two armies from the game (Gorons fighting Zoras for example). For added effect, including one of the iconic characters from the series fighting with them would be awesome.

- In the end I'd like at least one loading screen for each of the playable races in the game, though if two participants want to paint the same subject that's still acceptable. A list of the playable races are: Hylian, Gerudo, Goron, Zora, Kokiri, Gohma, Ordona, Lanayru, Deku Scrubs, Moblins, Darknuts, Lizalfos, Labrynna, Stalfos, Sheikah, Ikana, Twili, Wizzrobe, and River Zora. You can do art for any of the NPC factions too, such as the Church of Majora or Oocca.

1st place:
- Exclusive DLC that will allow you to play as the Church of Majora, a powerful NPC faction that will only be accesible to you and developers when the game is completed!

All other accepted pieces of art:
- Exclusive DLC that will allow you to summon the Mythical version of Princess Zelda.
- Exclusive Golden Hyrulean Knights skin DLC.
- Your name will be in the credits, as well as on the loading screen.

Deadline:
None yet, not until I'm sure there's even enough people willing to participate. If enough people participate I'll have a deadline, if not then the few that join will pretty much have until shortly before the game's release to finish.

Raise Awareness!
Spread news of this contest to other Zelda groups on Deviantart, Zelda websites, everywhere! Let's pack Hyrule: Total War with as many awesome pieces of art as possible.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I don't bite.

*saves links* Yay

Hah. Save Link.

[nintendo64isking]

thanks for your hastiness Neph

[Mjolnr839]

yes, thanks for the speediness of the patch. says it'll take a day or to for them to authorize it for download though.

[quenya]

how long does it usually take to authorize? i don't remember this happening for the campaign release.

[Duke Serkol]

Yes! No more unit cost weirdness and at long last diplomats! Time to start anew and forge some alliances! And mercs awesomeness too!

So Neph, how did you go about fixing the victory conditions? Did you have to re-enable the family trees?

The last version I uploaded was authorized in minutes. Not sure what's taking so long this time.

Naw I just got rid of the "eliminate this faction" requirements. Instead capturing certain regions will assure certain races go to war with each other.

ModDB varies greatly in how long it takes their admins to authorize files. I've seen some take a few minutes; others a few days.

[Mjolnr839]

so just when did you upload the patch to Moddb Neph? cause i've been waiting since like 11 in the morning at least for it to authorize.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Better make yourselves comfy for a while

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Glad that you got everything work, Neph!

Can't wait to check out the new version.

[Ethereal Lancer 916]

Now we just have to wait for the patch to get authorized for download.


... Patience was never my strongest suit.
