Defeated Gaul.  For the first time ever.  On normal mode.  That may seem underwhelming, but to me, it's my first real achievement on RTW. 

Time to conquer the world!

Only just noticed that Medieval II was using my Integrated Card -_- Bloody Optimus technology >.< Well, that explains how the game wasn't topping 30fps...kinda impressed by how it was getting 30fps off of just the CPU with all graphics settings at maximum actually 0_o

I know and the downloads and even torrent are completely flatlined as far as download speed goes, but still.

EB 2 IS OUT, FANGASM.

Holy shit, this is awesome.

But yeah, dl speeds are nonexistent.

Just in time for school to start! I hope this doesn't ruin my semester. I guess I'll just run the torrent for 24 hours or something.

Is it worth it to buy the kingdoms expansion? I have the base version I got soon after launch day and wondered if it was worth getting it.

[Elfeater]

Any one know how to get Rage of The Dark gods to work well?

Is it worth it to buy the kingdoms expansion? I have the base version I got soon after launch day and wondered if it was worth getting it.

Definitely.  It has a few excellent campaigns and most mods require it.

[Delta Foxtrot]

The campaigns are fun if you're into the specific period each is set in. I got my money's worth from the baltic campaign alone.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ORGASM PERPETUALLY SINCE I FIRST DISCOVERED THIS. I HAVEN'T EVEN DOWNLOADED IT, I'M JUST THAT HYPED.

Any one know how to get Rage of The Dark gods to work well?

"Rage of Dark Gods" is a great mod, but the mod team really needs to work on a better system for installation.

Following the guidelines in this thread to the letter is the best method. I really must emphasise following them carefully, I thought I was but turned out I was messing up the order for the patches.


First off: In the thread I've linked to, download the torrent and install the three parts in numerical order, if you haven't already.

Second, download all the patches in the thread. Patch 005 and the five quickfixes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First install the patch(es)


Patches Patch 005 - (version 1.1.00) - 223MB

•- Combined all previous patches and quick fixes
•- enabled battle editor
•- Added adapted patch 1.5.1

Torrent download: Extract the attachment to get the torrent file, run it and then download as usual. Once completed run the EXE file (Rage of dark Gods patch 005). The second file will be automatically used\installed.
Regular download: Download part1 and part2 (Media Fire), place them in one directory and then run the EXE file (Rage of dark Gods patch 005). The second file will be automatically used\installed.

And then the quickfixes in numerical order


Quick fixes Quickfix 20120526 - RodG - descr_strat (26th May)

•There has been delayed recruitment at the start of the game, due to a wrong sequence of buildings

 Extract the attachment into the imperial_campaign folder

Quickfix 20120613 - RodG - projectile crash fix (13th June)
•The original projectiles for the Earth shaker cannon and the doom diver catapult are working now

 Extract the attachment into the data folder

Quickfix 20121117 - RodG - battle_models (23rd November 2012)

 Extract the attachment into the data\unit_models folder

•Removes duplicate triggers from EDA and EDCT.
•Adds updated campaign_script kindly linked to by Merikallio

 Extract the attachment into the Rage_of_dark_Gods folder

20140414 - RodG - campaign_script (14th April 2014)
•Corrects Really Bad AI version in campaign_Script

 Extract the attachment into the \data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder

I can't really say this will give you a completely bug-free installation for the mod, as the game relies so heavily on scripts it trips over them frequently. My current game as the Vampire Counts hasn't crashed, but I haven't really gotten beyond about turn 25.

There is at least one mod released which removes a good deal of the scripting (army spawning and so on) which would most likely make the mod more stable, as well as allow a more "take over the world" game type rather than the "survive hordes of enemies" it is by default.

Holy shit, what a surprise! I had completely forgotten about that mod, thanks for posting

[Elfeater]

Thanks Mech! I will look into that, and would be interested in the more take over the world kind of mod you spoke of, it would be more fitting to my skill, and as you said more stable.

Thanks Mech! I will look into that, and would be interested in the more take over the world kind of mod you spoke of, it would be more fitting to my skill, and as you said more stable.

The only one that is out that I am aware of is called "Call of Warsandbox". It removes most of the scripting and, at least plans to, add a few things to keep it interesting (like how Orcs spawn large armies when their capital is taken or something).

There are a few other ones planned like "The Hardcore Fantasy Battle Campaign" and while they show a lot of promise, I believe the creator is waiting for version 1.6 of the mod to come out before continuing work on that submod.
