[Apani]

Midna's faction will be playable on the next release.

I can't remember which files it modifies but I downloaded it and installed it in a different directory, found where that file place was in HTW and found out that there is slight differences in each one. Here is the link anyway in case you want to look into it more Ultimate Ai but I don't believe it will help. I actually believe that HTW uses a slightly outdated version of Ultimate ai (apparently the thread its on was visited and updated recently, my internet just sucks )

Bumped for ease of visibility. Too many threads are being created for questions that can be asked here.

In addition, to those having problems installing and running Hyrule Total War, I am currently creating a guide to do so. I'll post the link here once I'm done.

I've been having trouble with a bug on my HTW game. If any one knows how to fix it Please let me know.

So what happens is the game CTDs when I point my mouse on certain towns on the Over world map. But this only happens if the town belongs to my faction. (ie I conquered it.) The only way I can get past this CTD is by clicking on a different town and then sical through the towns I own with the buttons that have the town name that is just above the financial button on the bottom right.

But if i accidentally point my mouse on those certain towns, my game CTDs any way.
If any one can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Nephalim might be able to help you if you send him a crash report.

I guess it has something to do with a file that manages text or text advises or something like that. Maybe the file "tooltips.txt", "strat.txt" or "shared.txt" is the problem (these are in "text" folder inside "data" folder). I was thinking in a file related to the name of the settlement but then I read the part that only happens when these specific settlements belongs to the player; so it means that maybe the game tries to display a text to say that it is yours or that it is doing something, and maybe it is crashing because the text is missing or something like that, although it doesn´t happen very frequently. If it isn´t that, I don´t know what other thing would a mouse just pointing something would trigger.
I hope this helps somehow.

Thanks fernavliz. I'll look into it.

Will there be any new mercenaries? since a lot of the ones listed haven't been added yet, like the Minish golems or blind the thief.

[WindGuru]

Newb question: When do the new heroes become recruitable in the main campaign? It's been 90 turns already in my Labrynna campaign, I've conquered half the map, and I still don't have Ralph. It seems like the non-starting heroes have been disabled, is this so?

The Freeform Campaign is known for having heroes that take forever to recruit. The most common example is Ganondorf who joins the player on Turn 100. If my estimations are right by checking the code, you should get Ralph on Turn 110.

Hero recruitment seems to be a common complaint as players can win the Long Campaign before Turn 50 (I won one at Turn 48). It is possible to speed up this process by editing campaign_script, however by doing so I think it will break all existing saves.

Who or what are the Talus Guard? I've seen them on the Labrynnian page, but that's it.

[VictorAYorke]

I'm not sure. My guess would be they were a planned unit that was removed from development relatively early on. Seeing as there's no unit model provided, and the 'finished' unit roster has no mention of them, I'd say they are a non-entity.

hey guys, when I was looking through the building descr I came cross two types of barracks, one just called barracks and the other c_barracks. can explain the difference.

[Teknokraatti]

Like in normal M2TW, castles and cities do not use the same buildings. Simply c_barracks are barracks built in castle and barracks are the ones for a city. In addition HTW has auxiliary barracks and native barracks.

[starwars90001]

thanks person, but now I ask this, is there away to get deep mines to work. what's the problem with them.

[Teknokraatti]

I was under impression that they already worked. At least they did in 3.5-version. I don't think that anything was changed in beta.

You must of course understand, that even though they can be built in every settlement, they still are mines and the income they give is based on the mineral resources in the region. If there aren't any, the deep mines simply don't produce anything.

Unlike banks or markets that actively add to the city's resource output, mines merely make use of existing ones. This is why mines can't be built in all settlements.

hey guys, I tired to create a new unit for the game last but it wouldn't work. what I did was copy the link_lone unit and try to replace link's model and info with saria's, I also made replace link's start_pri with hylia's, and made change the ownership from slaave to kokiri, slave. can anyone tell where I want wrong.

[Teknokraatti]

Have you tried to look at your log files? They help enormously and are usually easy to read. Every time a modded game fails to start, check the logs.

Did you change the animation files too? Are you absolutely sure that there is not a single spelling mistake anywhere in the files? Have you used correct model names in the EDU? And have you modified the campaign files before?

(And please, use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence. It makes reading so much more pleasant.)

[starwars90001]

Log files, where are whose, never heard of them In unlit now. And I not sure if I change the animation files oot, all I did was copy and paste the link lone unit below the first one, I did change the model use for the unit where it says mount for link. However I did change the start_pri for the copy does that have anything to do with it.
