Medieval Total War...I finally got it...

[Jaradu]

They all seem to be in order. I reinstalled the latest Catalyst driver for my Radeon 9600 just incase.

Maybe I'm missing some codecs? The audio loads but the I can't actually see the movie. And I can't skip the movie as normal. I tried to wait for it to finish but it keeps crashing halfway through....

Oh, and I lost all my savegames o_0

Have you tried reinstalling?

The other thing you could do is run System Restore if you have an earlier restore point, and check your settings from before.

[Jaradu]

Okay, good idea. I'll just.... whaa? Who disabled my System Restore?!

Reinstalled as well, to no avail. I've also contacted Activision's Support group to see if they can shed some light.

BTW, appreciate your help, Memnoch [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
And thanks to johnny for the previous help [img]smile.gif[/img]

It really does seem like there's been some kind of conflict with your videocard, Jaradu, that's all I can think of.

Anyway, that site I mentioned before seems to be working now:

Whenever I try to load it, it just stays on a black screen so I have to press ESC to get out, at which point it does the whole WIN XP "We are sorry for your inconvenince... blah, blah... shut this program down". The last thing I installed was the Windows XP Service Pack 2... hmmm.... ADD) Okay, after turning on the sound ( ) it turns out that the intro movie is playing... I just can't see it...

It's probably because of the service pack 2.

No go, sending troops into hostile lands will always lead to a battle, unless they retreat. Sending troops through neutral lands will turn them hostile towards you, unless it's an army on a crusade. That's the only way to move through neutral lands without making new enemies. [/QUOTE]How do you send troops to join a crusade?

[Luvian]

Drop them on the crusade unit, but you can't take them out after that.

Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img] Does the crusade unit have to be in a neighbouring province?

Another question...do you guys normally group your like units when in battle? eg spears together in one or two large groups, swords on the flanks in two large groups, cavalry together...etc.
