Hi all, looking for a new Med2 mod to play. 

Adding units to factions

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:34:33 PST

I will occasionally make some tweaks to what units a faction can build such as more Italian units to Sicily or some select units after conquering another faction I'll add some of their units to my own.

I can do this and then recruit them just fine, but all the added units display with the peasant icon.

Am I missing a step? Is there a way to make the new unit show with the correct unit icon and not the peasant icon?

Stainless Steel Not all Factions showing up for online battles

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:12:39 PST

I am using Stainless Steel 6.0 and whenever i try to do a custom battle or a online battle Ireland doesn't show up when I go to select my faction.  I tried deleting it and re-installing it, but that didn't work.  Is there anyway to fix this by going into the game files?  Thanks in advance.

Need Help With Hunred Years War Mod

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:42:28 PST

I downloaded the mod, and the icon is on my desktop. However when I double click on it to play a black box with white text pops up for like a sec and then closes automatically. What does this mean. What did I do wrong?

New To mods.. Need a little help.

Thanks in advanced.
EDIT:  I figured it out.

3rd Age Total War & Steam

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:33:41 PST

Well, after various attempts of mechanomagics, I managed to get the game running by using the command prompt, heading to the Steam folder for Medieval 2 and typing in
start kingdoms.exe @mods/americas/TATW.cfg
To get the Steam window for M2TW pop up, from where I picked the Americas campaign.

The game now runs up to the start of the Third Age campaign, from where it crashes to the desktop with a error message telling there was a "unspecified error" (apparently some form of national secret since I can't be informed of its nature).

So, any solutions for this particular issue now? (image)

DiplomacyMission trigger

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:05:19 PST

Hey,

I've been playing around with some triggers and this is one that I'm not sure I can figure out. As I thought I understood it, it should be triggered whenever a diplomat or princess is involved in negotiations. However, I'm not sure anymore.

I've been testing it using the English princess Cecilia at the start of the Grand Campaign. She starts with one level of GoodPrincess which, based on the trait triggers file, should increase to level two with one more point. So I send her to the Scots and she successfully negotiates trade rights. Based on the trigger, this should always give her a point in GoodPrincess, which should increase her to level 2 of GoodPrincess -- but nothing happens. The next turn, I try again, this time negotiating for Map Information. Again, nothing happens.

I'm starting to suspect that the DiplomacyMission trigger only fires when you actually have been given a mission to contact another faction, but I don't know of an easy way to test this...

Selecting Faction Heir

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:38:09 PST

How do I select the faction heir that I want vs. letting the program select the faction heir?

Thanks,

So. I may be an idiot. (Stainless Steel problem)

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 10:00:14 PST

Installed Stainless Steel a few weeks ago - really enjoyed it. I played a couple of campaigns with no trouble.

Then I downloaded and installed Chivalry II: Sicilian Vespers. I installed the 3.3 and the hotfix -- had to wait to get the main part, 3.0, because of its size. But while I was waiting for that, I went ahead last night and played some vanilla Kingdoms for awhile, then switched back to Stainless Steel for a try as the Moors.

Everything went well for several turns, but when I went to attack the Sicilians in battle, it CTDed before I got to the battlemap.

Frustrated, I quit playing as the Moors and started another Stainless Steel campaign as the Turks.

Same deal: I can play *defensive* battles, but when I go to attack, I get the CTD.

I didn't know if it had something to do with my partial installation of Sicilian Vespers messing stuff up. So when my wife came home later that night with the Sicilian...

Flag carrier unit mod?

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:53:32 PST

I recently downloaded the Deus Lo Vult mod and I got to play it a little bit, it was too problematic and would never work right so I now have Stainless Steel which actually works.
ANYWAY, I noticed in DLV there was a mod that had every unit have a banner carrier unit and I was like "OH MAN AWESOME" and I've looked and looked and was wondering if any of you awesome total war experts know if this can be downloaded like as its own mod? I don't know how mods work very much and wasn't sure if for instance DLV is a bunch of mods put together, therefore I could download that flag carrier mod and implement it into vanilla game or maybe evern Stainless Steel.
Let me know if you know or have an idea, and thanks in advance.

SS 6.1 odd Jerusalem battle map

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 19:00:45 PST

Hi guys

I play late era SS.6.1 without BYG III as England. My crusading army stormed the city of Jerusalem after 1 turn siege (only defended by 17 men of some generals bodygard hehe) But the battle map was very odd. The city looked normal huge stonewalls and arabic architecture but the surrounding landscape was full of trees and green gras. There was even a small lake inside the city. But as far as I remember Jerusalem is a rather dry area and there should be desert or at least dry ground with a few dead trees.

So I was wondering if that is intended by this mod and if so why? And has anybody else seen that?

It is no big deal but I find it strange enough to post it here.

Using the Unpacked files in Windows 7

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:09:09 PST

So been looking around for how to do this, but no luck so far. I have Windows 7. I used the unpack deal just as it says but then I can't find the files. Where did they go? What do I need to do to use them/find them?

Another issue was that after I unpacked the files, I couldn't play land battles because I couldn't find the two files that I'm supposed to delete.

Any help would be appreciated.

Garrison Units from no where

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 08:02:49 PST

Occasionally, when I attack (lay siege) to a city or castle that has X number of units (I see that by a spy) several more units up to a dozen more just show up. This also happens occasionally when another AI force attacks one of my cities or castles. Is this by design or a bug? If it is by design, can I turn this off for both the AI and myself?

Need a Mod....

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:06:44 PST

Hello! I just started playing METW2 again and am looking for a mod that makes the Teutonic Order playable. I know Kingdoms Grand Campaign does, but I've had to many DC's from that mod and getting tired of it. I would also prefer something that is mod switch. Any suggestions? Thanks
