Sciforums' Medieval Total War battles

Its a shame Plazma kept having problems with his connection, didnt Path have similar problems? I was looking forward to 3 vs 2.
 
Don't think I had any probs I was also looking forward to the 2v2. Say has plazma had these issues when playing you nick?

Remember I had problems, it was because I installed MTW then the patch then the XL update and lastly VI.
 
Ok. Maybe path can check the order in which he has installed his shit.

As for the battle yesterday.

Nick and spuriousmonkey, knights of pure love of baby jesus, were facing the evil hordes of the American axis led by the Devil inside and a horde of strange units led by the no.1 sciforums nazi, plazma inferno!.

brave Nickelodeon headed off the evil nazi forces of plazma.

Gallant knight spuriousmonkey led his righteous Irish forces to line up with the despicable evil Byzantium hordes of The Devil Inside.

4 units of pure Irish bonnachs (a infantry unit that throws spears) lined up to defend the line. The byzantium infantry of TDI closed in on them. At this point they stopped, lifted their spears and waited for the command of their magnificent military and spiritual leader.

The distance was reduced to 10 meters and the order was given. A volley of deadly spears seared throw the air landing on the byzantium infantry. 10 men killed in a flash of righteousness. Another volley followed. 15 more evil trolls down. The units of Kerns (javelin throwing units) behind the bonnachs were now given the order to unleash hell upon the evil hordes of TDI. Javelin after javelin went up in the air and came down on the enemy as hard as the hammer of Thor!

TDI foolishly send in his cavalry on the sides. Brave gallowglasses (a brave sword unit without armour) engaged them without orders to do so. The brave leader spuriousmonkey saw that it was good. He saw that the bloodlust could not be contained anymore. The brave irish gallowglasses wanted revenge. And he let them have it. The genius of the military command knew that the gallowglasses could not win this fight. He saw however that the enemy had foolishly committed all his forces.

The bonnachs and kerns had at this point decimated several enemy units. Some of these started already running like the cowards they were.

The Irish cavalry was send in on the flank where TDI's evil hordes were strongest and they send a divine wave of spears into the evil mass of enemy trolls. Reserve Kern units were send from the back to the flank to sow death and destruction.

And spuriousmonkey saw that it was all good.

The enemy was broken. The enemy was running.

Spuriousmonkey send his elite unit of Irish cavalry led by himself to help nickelodeon. Not that it was needed. God himself had chosen to join the battle and fight with the forces of Nickelodeon.

The Cavalry unit led by the brave leader spuriousmonkey engaged the last pockets of resistance and mopped up the fleeing trolls of Plazma.
 
Nice description.

I'm not running away, I'm just preparing for Olympics.


For AvP2: Just install the patch 1.0.9.6 (it's about 7 MB).

I've tried two map packs yesterday and both suck. First pack is so laggy even when I set resolution to 800 x 600 and with Low details. Also, maps are ugly and narrow.

Second pack is humorously plain and boring.

Original maps are much better. So, patch is all we need.

And the order of XL patches?


Perhaps it was hamachi playing up a bit last night, after all we still havent got an explanation for why TDi suddenly disappeared, unless Belgium just got nuked and no-one bothered to report it in the news.

I'd def like to try AvP2 thou.


I wonder if there are any alternatives to hamachi?

Hm... Just the XL mod. :confused:

I doubt it's Hamachi. Anyway, I'll check for alternatives.

I received the message during the last game: "different machines conflict" or something like that... whatever that means. :shrug: and then Puff! We've been disconnected again.

I doubt it's different ping that Path has. Did you ever notice that you are unable to play on some servers (which have different ping - lower or higher than yours)?
So, for example, we all have low ping and then Path with high ping shows up and causes the conflict, i.e. he's unable to host or join and connection just timed out.

Well, this is just a guess that it could be the possible problem.

Possible problem could be me also, because I received "Sorry for inconvinience" message and application shut down during one attempt to join the game.

Anyway, we could test the game again today. Also AvP2.

Path's ping and my ping are like siamese twins. So that's probably not it.
 
Nickelodeon said:
So for XL you installed the full 2.0 version (140MB) and the The 2.1 Patch for full version?

Yes, full version and 2.1 patch ( I just remembered that patch was included, just like you instructed ). Otherwise we couldn't play at all, right?

* Pointing finger in other direction, yelling:"Look!!!" and running away ( like his generals )*

Much as I'd like to experience the MTW experience, I can't because I don't have the game. Any chance of a vid or something? That would be interesting.
