Empire: Total War - Games - Facepunch Forum

Hmmm...I've tried re-downloading from Steam, it didn't work. Now I'm left with a game that won't even load to the main menu. I start the game and BAM, "Empire: Total War has stopped working". Gah! [b]!!!UPDATE!!![/b] After having a look at the users files in Appdata, if you cut and paste the game WILL load, trying to copy and paste my saved games to see if that is the case. Hmmm....I think the mod changes some important user information, Empires doesn't like that. But the good news is, my Empires is working and my saved games are working.

That's good to hear. We should catch up on steam for some online games.

Fuck yeah Lithuania

My game keeps crashing when a native American tribe declair war with me. The tribe is called "Huron Confederacy", I crash to desktop when either them or me declair war.

Good news for anyone who is having trouble playing online with friends. If you get a cannot connect error ( or something to that effect ), open a hamachi connection to your friend. Oddly you can't play LAN with this however if you play online with them you no longer get a cannot connect error. This was tried by myself and others and seems to work.

I'm still having problems with the Huron Confederacy the year is about 1736, if I declare war with them, the game crashes, but if they declare war with me, the game still crashes.

The best way to deal with that problem, is to completely wipe them out in your first 10 turns.

I love Quixote's mod, but the native Americans in his latest version have an aura that inspires fear, and it might be a SLIGHT bit overpowered. [img]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4353/indians.jpg[/img] I think one of my units there has the max experience rank now.

Owch.

Yes. Two I think. You need to get a new startpos.esf .

Was Louisianna using militia and/or pikemen and/or rangers? They're some of the easiest units to kill, no matter what they're numbers are.

In any case, with 1400 men with guns, more than 6 of my people should have been killed, even if by stray fire. Basically, I reached them, and they routed. That's overpowered.

I like the idea of those AI mods (Darth and Quixote's, etc) but I wish they had more...specific versions. I really don't like some of the changes in there, but there are some I really want, such as the alliance help and general AI improvement.

Spreading Hinduism is hard, I keep getting rebel nations popping up due to religious tensions.

Anyone know how to fix the "Error: Failed to host game"? It pops up after a few seconds when trying to host online and even in local too. I have put my PC as DMZ on my router, with all ports open too. Anti virus and windows firewall disabled. No luck.

When I moved all my mods out of my /data/ folder temporarily and cleared my user script then I could play online MP perfectly, although it was a different error.

I just wiped out every other country in campaign mode, I was hoping for some sort of celebration screen or some shit, but nothing happened :( Now I've got to end turn 50 times to get to 1799.

can I has co-op campaign now? ):

Damn, with the Campaign on Hard and Imperial Splendour mod, it's bloody hard as Bavaria, Saxony declared war on me in the 2nd turn, just had enough time to pump out my half stack of the army I was building (4 Cavalry, 1 General, 2 cannons and 5 Line infantry) I get about 7 consecutive attacks of 3/4 stacks on that half stack, manage to reinforce them a bit and then Westphalia joined in the fray had a couple of battles with them before I managed to sue for peace with both of them.

Why does my game suddenly look like a bad acid trip colors flashing and everthing?

Just alt-tab in and out. I get that bug too often [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-argh.gif[/img] I'm about to try modding this game, just a simple one changing grenadiers to 120 men :D I was thinking of trying out IS instead of Darth's but IS gets rid of grenades and I love 'em.

How is everyone doing all these odd campaigns? I have only so many nations to select. Or is playing as things like the buccaneers and natives a mod? >.>

Mods make this game. Get them.

i can't play this fukin game because its turned out to be a bd acid trip and alt tabbing out didnt help i mean i was playing as prussia just took over italy and i was having big plands to snitch balkan countries and greece from the ottomans but now its a fuckin lsd trip

[QUOTE=occer;14494835]Mods make this game. Get them.[/QUOTE] the mods right now are a bit 'meh'.

Getting this game tomorrow. Psyched.
