MOS, the ultimate TATW experience. Version 1.7 Patch 05 (Hotfix) released: 25-08-2015

[GetScared]

So, sorry if this issue has been resolved earlier, but I really can't go through almost 600 pages between the two discussion threads.

I seem to have an issue with upgrading castles. I get the tooltip information about when it will upgrade (2500 population, 7500 pop etc), however after the castle (or in this case the Motte & Bailey so far) reaches the threshold, no upgrade building appears and the tooltip info disappears. Is this an intended function (if so, in God's name why) or a bug I am experiencing?

What faction are you playing as? I know for the sake of "lore accuracy" some orc factions and rohan cant upgrade castles. Kinda stupid if you ask me, if im the king of rohan i tell my men to build stones castles, and lead them in an industrial revolution!

Playing as the High Elves.

How can I toggle that function off? If I can upgrade a settlement from a village of 200 to a major city of 18000, I damn sure can build a ing castle.

Any plans adding a other dwarven faction?

Not sure tbh. To the MOS guys, maybe make this an option at the start of the campaign to make castle building "lore accurate" or not.
One of the reasons i tend to favour this mod over others is because of all the choice you allow us!

I don't even need a feature, just point me towards the line I have to change to get muh castles.

Same as above, I apologize for bringing up this certain issue but there are a lot of pages to go through here. I just installed all components of the sub-mod and extracting them to the proper place like the instructions said on MODDB.com. Now when I try to run it with the whole "Third Age- Steam.bat" (I have the Steam version of Medieval 2) it says "medieval2.exe cannot be found". Anyone out there to help? Thanks.

Did you install the Steam version? AFAIK, Steam doesn't pull the .exe file rather it pulls an appid, meaning the .bat would have to target the same thing.

Good day Gentlemen

I got weird bug or I think I got one. When invasions are called on my capital or AI just brings big army to one of my cities nothing happens. Their armies just keep standing there and that's all. They don't even start to siege.... Anyone else encountered such thing?

[doomdude1]

Okay, so I scoured the thread and found discussion about HE castles and not being able to be upgraded due to the lore (yet it's lore-friendly that in my game HEs own most of Dunland and number close to half a million). So I dug around and found that there are also no models for elven castles and that I would have to use the default ones. I'm fine with that, but I couln't find the file I need to edit to make that happen on my own, so does anyone know where faction characteristics or whatever are located?

I think it's ok. In my Mordor campaign Tol Acharn was called on Edloss. Full army of FPoE came but do nothing for +- 10 turns. Then second army arrived and immediately starts siege. So maybe that invasion army just waits for reinforcements.

Also, the evil faction conqueror ancillaries don't stack. I conquered Helm's Deep and got the ancillary, the moved on and conquered Edoras with the same character, no ancillary gained this time.

[TheThraex]

Yes, I've had the Steam version installed for some time. What does that mean exactly?

Run the game from the Third Age MOS - Steam.bat

this is maybe because the fact that in MTW2 is a hardcoded limit for ancillaries 8 for every general maybe this is the reason of your problem

I did just that and found the same thing but it said what it said before "windows cannot find "medieval2.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". I fail to see what the problem is here. It really shouldn't be this difficult.

He had 3 in total.

[doomdude1]

The .bat needs to be in the same folder as the .exe

You extracted it to the wrong place.

~\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age_3
That's the folder you're looking for

Just follow the instructions: Extract the folder to the correct place and say yes to all merge and overwrite prompts

[Teutonic]

Do I need vanilla TATW installed to run MOS 1.7?

[doomdude1]

AFAIK yes, since this is a submod
