Anyone else got it?

Anyone able to make the damned thing work?

FrEnZy · December 28, 2006, 08:23:49 PM

Got it and it works fine except for a few (largeish) bugs

Lucian · December 29, 2006, 01:41:28 PM

My largish bugs drops me to the desktop and generates a fatal graphics error.

Bug free and brilliant for me. It's a monster of a game and I'm completely hooked. Killing Frenchies has never been so much fun. There is already a patch which is a bug fix. Might help?

Are you sure that's a patch? I checked the TW website and there's nothing there.. ?

smilodon · December 31, 2006, 02:58:35 AM

Yep, you won't see it on the Total War site, you have to go look for it on the support pages at the Sega site HERE

You can grab a copy of it from my site HERE if you like

I have it fixed - the game dislikes a resolution higher than 1024 at least on my system.

It really is fun. My English heroes have set up a little 'mini England' / bloodbath, out in Edessa after a crusade went horribly wrong after I kicke the crap out the Scots. (Who incidently killed my king twice...)

Here Is the best place for Total war news imo.

And even post patch there are 2 serious bugs.

1. Almost all doublehanded infantry can't hurt mounted units (Try a custom battle with 1 mounted units against as many english billmen as you feel like!)

2. The AI tends to just stop infront of your army while you pound it with missle troops, sometimes it even lets you run behind its line and charge its entire army from the rear!

Got it too and love it too..

Although the Pope says Im going to be kicked from the order if I don't stop slaughtering the Scots, french and danes (all 3 were allies untill they betrayed me - ******* sons the bunch of them).. So they are allowed to attack me and I can only defend if I wanna stay in the pope-club..
Had 1 cardinal so far and he got elected as Pope and now i only have priests getting killed by the inquistors..

But yea the bug with them stopping up I know of.. My own army does it too.. Run towards the enemy, brakes just before them and then starts running again :g:

I didn't feel a thing :g::narnar:

Heh, heh, assassinated the Pope, that'll teach him to excommunicate me! Up the Protestant Reformation!

Fickle Church, I've now been forgiven and allwoed back in! Plus the Frenchies broke an alliance and declared war. After I butchered 250 of their men mounted and dismounted aristocracy a la Agincourt, by hiding 70 longbowmen in some trees, they're now not so keen

Meh.. My assassins usually miss.. I've had 2 successfull assassinations so far I believe.. noobs the bunch of them :sad:

Lucian · January 09, 2007, 11:11:31 PM

The game is way too harsh on assassins. You nearly need to have three or four trained every turn in order to give them a chance of making it up to any standard for successful kills. Think the most I've ever had is four stars.
