Hello all,
Many years ago I discovered TWC. I became a historical consultant for Toon and helped with his TAR Mod. I was mostly interested in improving the graphics of the game and was using the units I helped to create. When Toon turned his focus to a stand alone mod I was less interested in that aspect but kept the older skin and unit upgrade mods going until my computer died.
I was sort of forced to try the TAR Mod on my new Windows Computer. It worked great once but than crashed and no matter what I tried I could not play it again. So I removed it but then not even the Vanilla Game would work.
Life was busy so I had to give it up. I disappeared for many years.
Well, I recently installed Rome II and was pleasantly surprised to see how easy mods could be plugged into it. I hoped it would be the same for Empire Total War. The good news is I see the TAR was update in 2019. The bad news for me is even though I have old files and such I don't know if it would work on Windows 10 and don't know where to begin.
I spent many hours helping Toon , even sending over regimental lace patterns but presently I have only the vanilla version. What drives me nuts are the officers with mustaches, drummers with fatigue hats, British drummers in red coats and of course Vanilla uniforms that aren't accurate to any specific period.
Can anyone advise me or push me in the right direction? I am basically looking for improved skins.
PS Are the Duffers still going?
