Ulti2day: /* Some Frequently Asked Questions */ Added in a 'How to make a social group' question.

{{DEFAULTSORT: {{PAGENAME}}}}

This guide is intended to provide pretty much all the basic information you need to understand this forum, and answer all the questions that get repeatedly posted.

==Guide to vBulletin==
Here you can find an FAQ for vBulletin, who provide our forum software. Questions on how to use the forum itself, can be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/faq.php here]

==TWC's BB Code==
Ever wondered how to make your text go bold or italic or all the many many other things you can do with text? 
[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode Here's the complete list of all the BB tags we use here].

==TWC Terms of Service and Forum Rules==
Every member when they sign up is expected to keep to these rules. They're enforced by the moderators, and failure to comply will result in warnings suspensions, and ultimately, a permanent ban. We recommend you read and familiarise yourself with them! [[TWC:Terms of Service|Terms of Service]]

==Rules for Editing on the TWC Wiki==
When editing on the wiki, members are expected to follow the rules set down by the Wiki Staff. Failure to comply with these can result in a ban on the Wiki for a certain period of time. We recommend you use these rules when editing this Wiki and to be familiar with them. [[Rules on Editing|Rules on Editing the TWC Wiki]]

==The Administrative Forums==
These forums are located at the bottom of the main page and provide a place for members to come and sort out and any problems or issues.

===Infraction Appeals and Discussion===

====The Praetorium====
If you think you have been unfairly moderated; i.e. received a caution, warning, or suspension you don't think is justified, you can post a thread in this forum and talk privately to the [[Administrator]]s about the issue. Sometimes though, you may wish to try discussing the issue with the individual moderator involved by private message before trying this route, you can still post a thread in the Praetorium later if the matter cannot be resolved via private message. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 The Praetorium forum.]

====The Tribunal====
If you've received a caution, warning, or suspension you don't think is justified, and have already talked to an Administrator and / or used the Praetorium, and are not satisfied with the result, or if you wish to make your first appeal public instead of talking to the moderators in private, this is the forum in which to place your appeal. You may air your grievance and three appointed Judges (independent of the moderating staff) will review your case. Suspended members have the ability to post in this forum and this forum alone. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=146 The Tribunal forum.]

===Questions and Suggestions===
If you have a question that has not been answered by this handy little guide, or you have any suggestion or comment you'd like to make that you think might make TWC that little bit better, then here is the place to post. All thoughts and comments welcome! All technical questions should also be directed here, unless it is a suggestion which can be debated on with solid information. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9 Questions and Suggestions forum.]

===Technical Bazaar===
The Technical Bazaar, whilst not really the place for questions, is another place to go to seek answers about things that are going wrong with the forums. You should also frequently visit here as there may be important information in regards to the maintainability of the site, and information on disruptions to the service. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=321 The Technical Bazaar]

==Signatures, Avatars, and Profile Pictures==
Signatures are bound to a 550×175 pixel box automatically, with anything outside of that being cut off. The maximum file size of all signature images may not exceed 250 KB according to the current [[TWC Official:Terms of Service|TOS]].

Custom avatars and user pictures must be uploaded to TWC from [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/usercp.php your User Control Panel]. You will be told the maximum size of each when you try to upload them. At the time of this writing, the maximum sizes are 100×100 pixels or 80 KB (whichever is smaller) for avatars, and 640×480 pixels or 250 KB (whichever is smaller) for profile pictures.

==Some Frequently Asked Questions==
Here are the answers to some miscellaneous questions we've been regularly asked not covered elsewhere in this guide.

;How do I make polls?
:To vote in polls you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. You can only make a poll if you are starting a new topic. What you need to click to add a poll to your post is the 'Yes, post a poll...' box near the bottom of the screen. If you need to add a poll later then you need to PM an Administrator.

;What's the "Report" button?
:This red button at the bottom right of each post will generate an automatic email to all the moderators of that forum telling that that post has been reported. You can use it to tell the moderators every time you see a post that breaks the Terms of Service. While it is not our aim to create a generation of informants, experience has proven time and again that reporting a post that you consider offensive or disruptive is far better then attempting to deal with it "on your own", by either attacking the poster or threatening with some form of action in the thread. Furthermore, a report is the fastest way to alert the moderators about serious breaches of ToS as posting of porn and also to get yourself rid of ad-bots. Reporting posts is encouraged!

;I've just taken a glance at the Political Mudpit and the Ethos, Mores, et Monastica sections of the Common Community, and I want to post there! But I do not want to get completely butchered by the experienced members who already post in those sections. How can I, a complete newb, post in those sections without getting hacked into little pieces?
:I can offer four pieces of advice for this: read, edit, give sources, and stay calm.
:# Read - What you first need to do is read the entire thread. This is important as it can give you sources for information (which are very important for a debate) and tells you what has already been argued about. Unless you are bringing new information regarding a past issue or point, it is redundant to dredge up an old settled argument, especially if it has been some time since it was last talked about in the thread.
:# Edit - After you have written your response, always send it through a spellchecker after reading it over again yourself. It is imperative to ensure that there are as few as possible spelling and grammatical errors in your post.
:# Give Sources - A credible source can go a long way in helping you win a debate. Facts without sources will be often disregarded as mere opinion.
:# Stay Calm - Far too often, members become frustrated and angry on various threads. This happens to all at times, and the best cure is to step away from the debate. What you do after that is up to you, but do not go back to the debate until you have calmed down. If a debate looks like it is getting too heated, a moderator will often close down a thread temporarily to clean up heated posts, as well as giving both parties a chance to calm down.

;How would I defend myself against flamers and trolls?
:Hopefully you won't have to! But if someone does flame you or troll you, report their post using the Report button. DON'T respond in kind. If you flame someone who flames you, that just starts a flame war and you'll find yourself in as much trouble as the original flamer.

;What if I want to express my opinion about certain members and I want to contact them individually?
:Try emailing them if they enabled their email address, or use the "private messaging" - PM. Be careful though, members do (and should) report harassing or annoying PMs to moderators. Just because it is a private message, it does not give you leeway to flame or troll others.

;Can I vote in polls?
:To vote in polls you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. This was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts and spamming our site awards with them.

;Why can't I post any visitor messages?
:To post visitor messages, you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. This was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts and spamming our site with them.

;How do I change my name?
:Post in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=367569 Name change requests] thread in the Questions & Suggestions forum.

;How do I make a Social Group?
#Firstly, click on the 'My Account' button on the top left hand side of your screen (if you can't see it then scroll to the top of the forums).
#Under the left header 'Networking' you should see a link called 'Social Groups'. Click on it.
#On the bottom of the page you should see a link saying 'Create A New Group'. Click on it.
:If you are having trouble finding the links, use your browsers search function (most likely by pressing Ctrl + F). Also remember to search the already made Social Groups to see if there is already one for your topic.

==The Constitution and the Curia==
If you've got this far, you've probably realised TWC isn't like any other major forum you've been a part of. The Constitution is a big reason why. About 4 years ago when TWC was small and cosy, the 3 administrators of the time felt that it would be good to reward their core body of active members. The reward they gave this core group was the ability to have a say on how the site is run. The Constitution is the document that sets out how it all works.

Citizenship is awarded to members who make noteworthy contributions to the forum. These can include, but are not limited to:

* Creating After Action Reports (AARs) on battles fought in the various Total War games.
* Creating a mod, or working as part of a mod team for the Total War games.
* Serving as a member of the TWC staff (Content Writer, Librarian, Graphic Artist (Badger/Rep Icon Maker) etc.)
* Showing your dedication to the site by making consistent intelligent posts around the forum.

Additionally, there are two types of Citizen. A Civitate is a Citizen whose primary contribution has been in debates and discussions. An Artifex is a Citizen whose primary contribution has been modding work. All the moderators on the site are drawn from the citizen class as well. To find out how to become a citizen, read on below!

The Curia has a number of institutions which help to oversee the citizen class, or run the site. One of them, the Tribunal, has already been mentioned above. The three Tribunal judges are all elected by the Curia.

===The Consilium de Civitate===
This is a body of 12 elected Citizens who govern promotions and demotions. They vote on whether a member should be promoted from Peregrinus to Citizen, as well as performing other responsibilities listed in the Constitution. If a Citizen has broken the rules, they may also vote to suspend or strip him of his rank. The CdeC maintain a thread in the Curia giving updates on who the current members are and what they've been doing. [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=126071 You can view their current thread here.]

[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=57330 Past CdeC reports thread.]

And [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showgroups.php#CdeC here are current CdeC members.]

An in-depth guide to the Curia may be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184168 here.]

===The Curial Officers===
;The Curator
:The Curator deals with the day to day running of the Curia. He moves debates to vote, orders the archives, maintains order in the Curia, and also makes rulings on the interpretation of the constitution where necessary. The Curator also holds power of Veto over any Curial decision. The Curator can make grammatical and spelling changes to the constitution without consultation with the Citizenry. He holds his term for 3 months.
:The current Curator is [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=7083 Empress Meg] and her assistant is [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=33825 Pøntifex]

===The Curial Committees===
A Curial Committee can be convened by the Council to discuss or investigate a particular issue. In addition to this Citizens can also propose a 'project' to be undertaken by the site, and then members of the forum may join the committee in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=335 Forum Magnum].They are designed to bring members of the staff or the members and the Curia together to work on a particular project. The only active 'committee' is the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1447 Napoleon TW Survey].

==How to become a Citizen==
So, after reading all that, has it caught your interest? Do you want to get involved in running this site? Do you want to have your say on how we do things here? Then here's how.

To become a citizen of TWC you first have to meet the qualifications. These are set pretty low and it's not a case of everyone who meets these gets the rank automatically. To qualify for Citizen, a member must have at least fifty posts, been a registered member for one month, and have no warnings within the last six months. Non-point infractions or 'notes' are not factored into this.

Above and beyond these basic standards, the rank is then awarded for contributions. So if you think you make a valuable contribution to the site, chances are you're citizen material.

To get promoted you have to be patronised by an existing citizen. There are two ways this can happen. The most common is for a citizen to notice your contributions and send you a PM asking if you'd like the rank. If however, you think you are worthy, you don't have to wait to be noticed! You can PM a citizen directly and ask if they will sponsor you. Only those citizens who have themselves held their rank for 3 months can patronise.

If you get asked, or a citizen agrees to patronise you, you then have to write a short paragraph explaining why you want to be a citizen and why you think you are worthy. Keep in mind that the better you present your case to the CdeC, the more likely you will be considered citizen material. Include links to your most worthy contributions, be they modifications tools or work, or well-composed debates. PM the paragraph to your patron; they'll add their own comments and PM both to a member of the Consilium de Civitate. The CdeC will then take a week to discuss and vote on you. If you get 60% of the non abstaining votes, you'll receive a PM from the Curator congratulating you, and have your rank, a shiny new badge, and all the privileges of being recognised as one of TWC's outstanding members!

If, for whatever reason, you should fail the vote you must wait 1 month before you can apply again

==Meet the Staff==

Additionally, a list of all those people with moderator status can be found on the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showgroups.php Forum Leaders] page

===Officer Ranks===
There are 3 ranks of staff officer
* Council Officer
* Senior Staff Officer
* Staff Officer

The Council Officers are the administrators who form the Council and run the show; the rest of the staff are divided into the 3 branches to serve the site. all staff may be recognized by their badges and oftentimes colour-coded usernames. All Officers display their officer rank in preference to their member rank, so there's no disguising them!

===The Hexagonal Council===
This is the governing body that runs the site. Its made up of four permanent members and a variable number of non-permanent members who contribute their specific talents to making TWC the best it can be.

Hex Officers names appear Bold and Bright Red on the forum display and have the following badge

==Member Ranks==
While not everyone has a fancy officer's title, everyone on TWC has a rank. Officers, be they Staff or Curial, are the people who carry out various jobs, but each of them, along with everyone else will hold a rank as well. The higher your rank, the more privileges and access you have and the greater your opportunities for promotion to an officer position. There are two broad types of ranks, Honorary and Normal. The three Normal ranks carry all the benefits of a Citizen; the four Honorary ones are used as rewards for specific services rendered or for achievement.

===Normal Ranks===
The three Normal Ranks are as follows:

;Peregrinus
:This is the basic rank that everyone starts out on and many thousands of our members never achieve greater than this. Peregrinus grants posting rights in almost all of the forum and they have the opportunity to hold content and technical staff positions.

;Local Forum Moderator
:A Local Forum Moderator (or Local Moderator, Local Mod, or simply LM) is a normal member with Moderating powers inside a specific forum. They are usually devoted to this forum and its community. They are not counted as TWC staff.
:They may do all normal moderating procedures within that forum, though may not infract (that is ban or suspend) users. Should a certain member break the ToS within that forum they should be reported as done all rule breakers.
:A Local Mod is identified with a grey coloured name rather than the user black coloured name, and they may change their user-title. The Local Moderator title is inherited via Admin. Should you wish to become a Local Moderator of a certain forum you should get in contact with the chief forum moderator of that forum.

;Citizen
:[[File:Citizen radadir.png]]
:This special rank is given as a reward by the CdeC to those members who make a significant contribution to the Forum. It carries all the benefits of Peregrinus but additionally it grants members posting ability in Symposium and the Curia, as well as voting rights. Citizens are therefore given the opportunity to have a say in how their site is run. After 3 months in the rank, Citizens can also begin patronising new citizens. Only Citizens and above can become a member of the moderating staff. Additionally, most Curial Offices have the requirement of Citizen rank.
:'''Citizens''' can choose to further define as one of two types depending upon which part of the site they most associate with.
:The '''Civitates''' are those who earned their rank through hard intelligent posting and thoughtful debate 
:[[File:Civitate radadir.png]]
:An '''Artifex''' is someone who earned their rank through modding 
:[[File:Artifex radadir.png]]

The Awarding of Normal Ranks is the job of the CdeC who may, if they feel it necessary, strip members of them. Requirements for the ranks are governed by the Curia.

===Multiple Ranks===
It's possible for a member to hold multiple ranks or Officer Positions, and as such they will usually, but not always follow this precedent in choosing which rank to display. Administrators, Senior Content Staff and Moderators will normally always display that rank over all others for quick identification.

===Other Titles===

Ranks which are not awarded by the Curia.

;A god in Colchester

[[File:A God in Colchester Empire.png]]

The current and only holder of this title is [[imb39]].
The story of this and the reason why he has chosen this title is from the famous novel "I, Claudias" (I, CLAVDIVS). Claudius became emperor because he was regarded as so weak and ineffectual by competing factions and as other parts of his family killed themselves. imb39 sees that he reached the top because he was viewed as harmless. He referred to himself as Claudius at times - though he doesn't claim to have any of his abilities!

One of the lines in the book is "a god in Colchester" so, [[Garbarsardar]] and a few other Administators gave him this title. Though technically, it should not exist or be allowed as it has not been passed by the [[Curia]], though nobody has yet objected against him/it.

;For more information on Curial ranks and awards please see [[:TWC:Ranks|here]] or [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184168 here].

==Post Count Ranks==
On the left hand side of each of your posts you'll note a number of things. First, your avatar, which you can set and change from your account control panel. Second, your Reputation, explained below. Third, your online status and add rep buttons. Fourth, your post count, and finally another rank.

Unlike your Peregrinus rank, this one is entirely meaningless and conveys nothing. It's merely associated with your Post Count. The more posts you have, the higher this rank. It's actually your custom user title, and only Citizens, Local Moderators or TWC Staff have the ability to override their title with one of their own design.

Here's the list of those ranks.

* Private 0
* Light Infantryman 1
* Rifleman 30
* Grenadier 50
* Drummer and Fifer 100
* Chosen Man 175
* Corporal 225
* Sergeant 275
* Colour Sergeant 300
* Drum Major 500
* Armoury Sergeant 550
* Quartermaster Sergeant 650
* Sergeant Major 900
* Regimental Sergeant Major 1000
* Ensign 1100
* Subaltern 1300
* Lieutenant 1450
* Captain 1550
* Brevet-Major 1650
* Major 1800
* Aide de Camp 1900
* Lieutenant Colonel 2000
* Colonel 3000
* Brigadier 3600
* Major General 4000
* Lieutenant General 6000
* Captain General 8000
* General 10000
* Field Marshal 15000

==Reputation==

The reputation feature is a fun little thing that enables you to see your community standing with the other members. In theory, the more reputation you have, the more highly thought of you are by the other members of the community. It has no other real meaning, and many members choose to disable it.

Reputation here will be described as if you were using the default Empire skin. The symbols are different on the Rome skin, or the Barbie skin.

If you are using the Rome skin, the add rep button is an eagle standard, a Ring is a helmet, and a crown is a legionary standard. The principle is the same however

If, (for whatever unknown reason!) you are using the Barbie skin, the add rep button is the eagle standard again, a ring becomes a type of spangly star, or maybe a flower and a crown is a diamond ring.

Moving swiftly back to the default Empire Skin then...

;How do I give rep?
:You can add reputation to a post by clicking this button, on the left 
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/buttons/reputation.gif 
:You can only add 1 point of rep to each post and you can only give 7 points total a day. Additionally, you have to rep different users before you can give rep to the same user again, in order to prevent rep abuse.

;Who can give rep?
:Because of issues with account cloning in the past, where people created accounts just to give themselves rep, only users registered for at least two weeks with over 50 posts may give rep that counts. Users with less than 50 posts or who have been registered for less than two weeks will give a 0 rep point instead of 1, so any comments they leave will show up in your account, but you won't actually get a point for it. Please note, when a user jumps over the 50-post mark, rep they have given prior to that does not count retroactively. Furthermore, it may take an hour or so after your 50th post for your rep to start working, even if you've been registered for over two weeks by that point.

;Where does reputation show?
:Your reputation shows up in two places. One, on the left hand side where you post, a collection of symbols shows a rough guide to how much rep you have. Two, in your control panel. There's a more comprehensive display of the last 20 rep points you received, showing which post you got it for, who gave it, and any comment they left.

;Can I disable reputation?
:Yes, you can disable your reputation in your control panel. If you do so, your own rep won't show up but you'll still be able to give other people rep as well as receive it yourself.

;What does it look like?
:Each symbol represents a certain number of rep points. It starts at five, so if you have less than 3 rep points, you'll show the scales symbol for neutral rep.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_medieval/reputation/reputation_balance.gif - Neutral Rep
:Some very few members who have received neg rep from the staff will have this replaced by a red square. Those users who have disabled the reputation feature will simply show a grey square.
:Once you hit 3 rep points, you'll get 1 gold ring
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_bward/reputation/reputation_pos.gif
:Each ring = 3 points, so if someone has 5 rings, they have 15 Rep points. You can only get a maximum of 5 rings, after that the rings are transferred into a fleur-de-lis.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_bward/reputation/reputation_pos2.gif
:Each gold fleur-de-lis is worth 15 rep points.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images_bward/reputation/reputation_highpos.gif
:Each red fleur-de-lis is worth 150 rep points.
:*Scales: 0-2 Rep
:*1 Ring: 2-3 Rep
:*1 gold fleur-de-lis: 15 Rep
:*1 red fleur-de-lis: 150 Rep

Medieval II: Total War

{{Total War}}
'''Medieval II: Total War''', the indirect sequel to 2002's [[Medieval: Total War]] and the fourth game of the Total War series by The Creative Assembly, is a game of turn-based strategic rounds and real-time tactically-oriented battles. The game is set between the years 1080 and 1530. Like the original Medieval: Total War, , it focuses on medieval warfare, religion and politics in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. However, unlike its predecessors, the game has a tech tree which spans to the gunpowder age at the end of the game. The timeframe stretches into the era of the historical discovery of the New World, and simulates the discovery and conquest of the Americas. Medieval II is built on the code base of [[Rome: Total War]].

==Gameplay==
Similar to previous titles of the ''Total War'' series, the game consists of two modes of play: battles and single-player campaign. Battles can be played in multiplayer, in user-defined scenarios, or in historical scenarios which simulate real battles such as the Battle of Arsuf or the Battle of Agincourt. Battles are also featured in the campaign.
[[Image:M2 tutorial pic.gif|thumb|right|250px|Norman Invasion Tutorial]]
===Tutorial===
The game starts with a tutorial based on the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest. The player first takes the role of William Rufus, the son of the army commander William the Conqueror. His initial job is to provide a rearguard whilst the player learns the game controls. Then he joins to fight in the main battle. The player then concludes the tutorial with the conquest of Saxon England. At Hastings, King Harold is erroneously depicted with the Fleur-de-lis.

===Campaign===
The campaign allows the player to assume control of a faction of the time period, and build a civilization, both economically and militarily in order to conquer other factions. Gameplay consists of controlling the faction's military, economic, and social systems in large campaign maps. During the player's turn, armies, fleets, and agents can be moved on the map. When an army engages another army, the player can choose to fight the battle personally in the battle mode, or automatically calculate the outcome.

The goal of the campaign depends on which type of campaign is played. The short campaign requires the player to defeat one or two enemy factions (for example, Holy Roman Empire must defeat its historical enemies Milan and Denmark) and control at least 15 settlements. The long campaign requires the player to control at least 45 territories and one or two significant cities, which are faction specific, such as Jerusalem, Granada, Rome or Constantinople.

Once the game is completed on any difficulty, the player may begin a new Grand Campaign as any faction with the exception of the Papal States, Mongols, Timurids, Aztecs (only encountered in the New World in the late period) or Rebels.

===Settlements===
Each faction controls a number of settlements, and must conquer others in order to continue growing. Unlike previous ''Total War'' titles, there are two kinds of settlements, each with different advantages and disadvantages: cities and castles. Castles have better defensive capabilities and have access to a larger selection of professional soldiers, but generate less income, cannot train as many priests as cities, and have no access to higher civilian technologies. Cities generate much larger income and are technological centers of a faction, but are more difficult to defend and only have access to militia troops, which are generally inferior to those trained at castles except for a select few unique units. A small quantity of militia troops, stationed in the city where they have been trained, can be kept for free, without upkeep cost, otherwise required to be paid every turn for every army unit. Players may convert a settlement to a different type, although larger cities may not be converted into castles. Castles also need less population to be upgraded.

As in other ''Total War'' games, in each settlement the faction may construct a number of buildings, each with different functions, such as training troops, upgrading weapons and armour, expanding the economy, increasing the settlement's defenses or strengthening religion. A new feature of ''Medieval II'' is the ability to build guild halls. A given settlement may only have a single guild hall, although there are several different types. The guild hall provides certain bonuses such as increased movement for troops, better weapons, or better agents; some even grant access to new units, such as the ahistoric yet effective unit of "Sherwood Archers" available to England upon construction and subsequent upgrade of a Woodsmens' Guild. Guild halls may also be later upgraded to a "Master Guild Hall", which may provide a larger bonus or even grant a bonus to all of the faction's settlements while still retaining a more notable bonus in the city the structure is built, and then possibly upgraded to the "Guild Headquarters", which provides the greatest bonuses, although each guild can have only one headquarters anywhere in the world at the given time, and each faction can only construct one Master Guild Hall of each guild in their empire. It is possible however, to capture a city with an existing Master Guild Hall of a certain type, and have two of one kind.

===Characters===
Each faction has a ruling family. Once male family members come of age at 16, they act as units that can be used to govern settlements and lead armies in battle as generals. Each character has attributes that determine their prowess in both. A character's actions can affect his attributes - for example, a general who routinely kills prisoners of war and exterminates captured settlements may see his "dread" increase, making him frightening to foes; a general who prefers to release prisoners and occupy settlements may instead increase his "chivalry", which makes his own troops much more brave. Characters also develop (or regress) by gathering traits and retinue members. Characters can take after (or rebel against) their parents, traits like alcoholism are self-perpetuating, inbreeding tends to strengthen when inherited, naivete and paranoia are mutually exclusive but both detrimental, etc. Some traits, mostly positive, are brought out by victories in battle: for example, generals can become increasingly scarred as time goes on, giving them more hitpoints, and generals who successfully complete a Crusade gain chivalry, command, and piety points. Others accumulate while governing a city: poorly managed backwaters tend to bring out the worst in generals, whereas advanced, central cities improve a general's traits. Owners of strong traits earn epithets, such as "the Brave," "the Just," "the Lewd" or "the Corrupt." These are decorative. A very important aspect of generals is their loyalty. If a general is disloyal, he may rebel, turning into the 'Rebels' faction and taking a part of the army at his command with him.

Captains are leaders of armies that do not have a family member controlling them. They don't have any special attributes or retinue, but if killed in battle troop morale decreases, increasing the chance that the army will rout. If killed or assassinated, a new captain will instantly appear and take command of the army in question. If a captain is victorious in a particularly one sided battle or has shown excellent leadership, he may become 'Man of the Hour', and comes with an option to adopt him into the Royal Family. If adopted, he turns into a general and may gain attributes and retinue. If declined, he continues to be a generic captain. A unit left with only a captain may rebel and join the rebel factions.

Each faction has a number of agents it may use to maintain order and influence other factions. These include the [[Religion in Medieval 2#Priests_and_Imams|Priests/Imams]], as well as [[princess]]es, [[diplomat]]s, [[merchant]]s, [[assassin]]s and [[Spy|spies]]. Each agent has attributes that develop the more he is able to successfully be used. Princesses, for example, have a "Charm" attribute that governs their success in diplomacy and the likelihood that a proposal in marriage will be accepted. Spies and Assassins have a "Subterfuge" attribute which governs how likely they are to infiltrate enemy cities or find information about enemy armies. All agents except princesses are trained at settlements which contain the appropriate buildings - for example, Christian priests can be trained in any settlement with a church or chapel. Princesses are born into the player's ruling family, and become active as agents once they come of age at 16.

Diplomacy is performed by diplomats and princesses and functions much as in previous ''Total War'' games, mainly involving negotiating treaties such as cease fires, alliances and marriages and wars . The interface for negotiation has changed from previous games, however; a new system has been integrated to show the other faction's attitude toward the player's faction, intelligence estimates (such as how wealthy the faction is and what other factions they are at war with), as well as how fair the other faction feels the player's proposals are.

Inquisitors are controlled by The Papal States and are sent to the player's lands if you have fallen out of favour with the Pope. They can accuse any agent of heresy, and if they are found guilty, they will be executed. Generals, and even a player's King, may fall prey to these agents of God. To get rid of Inquisitors, you can gain favour with the Pope by building churches and converting the population, and avoid attacks on any more favourable Christian nations, or perhaps even attempt to assassinate them.

===Turn system===
Medieval uses a system of "turns". Each turn represents 2 years; the year and the season will change accordingly each turn. A side effect of this system is that there are inconsistencies. For example, due to the movement system, when discovering America, it takes about 8-10 turns (i.e., 16-20 years because each turn represents 2 years) to get to America from western Europe; Christopher Columbus took about a month to make each of Voyages of his first two voyages. Another issue with the turn system is that, while it's designed to advance only 6 months per turn (Character aging), the actual time is 2 years. This means winter and autumn transitions happen unrealistically, and that monarchs will reign for hundreds of years.

===Factions===
There are twenty-one factions, of which seventeen are playable in the Campaign game, although only five are playable in the beginning: The Kingdoms of [[England]], [[France]] and [[Spain]]; the [[Holy Roman Empire]] as well as the [[Republic of Venice]]. The other factions may be unlocked one at a time, as soon as the player has defeated that faction in the campaign by conquering all their settlements including occupied temporary forts or by killing off the entire royal family of that faction, regardless of whether the player wins the entire campaign or not. The unlockable factions may be unlocked all at once by successfully winning the short or long campaign as one of the five initially available factions, and include [[Portugal]] , Scotland, the [[Moors]], [[Egypt]], the [[Turks]], the [[Byzantine Empire]], the [[Sicily|Kingdom of Sicily]], [[Milan]], [[Denmark]], [[Russia]], [[Poland]], and [[Hungary]]. The only factions that cannot be played are the [[Papal States]], the [[Mongols]], the rebels, the [[Aztecs]], and the [[Timurids]].
Each faction has at least one unit that is available to only that faction. One of these units from each faction is listed on the game as the faction's "special unit".

The factions in the game represent, to varying accuracies, their real-life historical factions. The army unit types available to each faction are modelled to reflect their real-life histories, with each faction possessing unique characteristics that afford them certain strengths against other factions in combat, as well as weaknesses.
There are various simplifications in the game to make factions more identifiable. For example, the faction [[Russia]] did not exist as a state at the time but were divided into Fiefdoms, Principalities and states; with Kievan Rus' and then the Republic of Novgorod chronologically being the most prominent states. Spain also didn't exist at this time, and was divided into the kingdoms of Kingdom of Castille and Kingdom of Aragon, with Spain representing the former in the game. Also, [[Portugal]] didn't become an actual kingdom until 1139 and King Afonso I of Portugal is born 30 years before he was historically known.

===Battle system===
One of the main focuses on the ''Total War'' franchise is its incorporation of battle within the greater sphere of gameplay. A battle consists of two or more factions' armies fighting each other. Battles play similar to those in ''Rome: Total War'', with formations of various kinds of troops fighting. The objective of the battle is to defeat the enemy army by completely destroying it or causing the whole army to flee; in a siege battle, the objective is to completely destroy the army or to take control of a plaza in the center of the settlement. There is also an option which allows the player to allow for time limits on battles, meaning that the attacker must defeat the defender within a certain time limit (determined by the computer) or the battle results in a victory for the defender.

Unlike in previous ''Total War'' titles, a new system of modeling troops on the battlefield has been introduced. Each soldier has a varying number of elements to him, such as arms, legs, body armor, shield heraldry, and so forth; each element has a varying number of styles. When a battle is entered, the computer randomly selects elements for each soldier in the unit, thereby making each soldier look different from the soldiers around him. This can lead to some errors though, for example a general's bodyguard of the Holy Roman Empire can be portrayed with a shield with an English or Byzantine twist upon it. Upgrades to a unit's armor are also depicted - a unit of unarmored spearmen upgraded to have leather armor will be depicted wearing it. Another departure from earlier ''Total War'' games is that combat is depicted more realistically, with soldiers performing motion-captured attacks - rather than one or two standard attacks - utilizing their shields, parrying blows and delivering killing strikes to downed foes, all based on the weapon they are using and the weapon of their opponent. Blood can also be seen on the uniforms of soldiers who have been fighting and a mist of blood will be visible on soldiers hit by arrows. The amount of detail in the fight sequences can be turned up or down along with the other video options in the main menu. A player can also have up to 4800 (huge units option) troops in their army.

Like in [[Rome: Total War]], mercenaries can also be hired. Special mercenaries are available during [[Crusades]] & [[Jihad]], such as Crusader knights and fighting monks and Mutatawwi'a's for Jihad Armies.

==Patches==
The Creative Assembly developers stated on December 1, 2006 that they were working on a patch to solve reported bugs, specifically mentioning a major bug in how the game handles cavalry charges (the cavalry doesn't always use its lances when charging); the patch was released on December 15, 2006. A second patch was also released on May 4, 2007 solving many other problems not addressed in the first patch, though many of the pathfinding bugs in siege battles still remain.

An unofficial version of patch 1.2 was circulating in the community for a while. This patch 'escaped' due to the CA sending the download to various mirror sites before the official release time. They subsequently discovered some bugs, which were not resolved at that stage and decided to cancel the release of the patch, but the few of the sites that had been sent the preliminary patch released it anyway. This patch is superseded by the "final" 1.2 patch.

Many people have also commented on the size of the download for the second patch, being approximately 613MB in size (compared with the English-language version of patch 1.1 at 39.46MB)

Patch 1.3 for the game was released at the same time as the Kingdoms expansion and addresses some compatibility issues and is automatically installed with the expansion. It is another large patch, at 546MB. This patch includes online multiplayer fixes to allow owners of the original game to play with those who have installed Kingdoms. However, aside from making multiplayer games compatible between main game and expansion, this patch addressed none of the bugs still in the game (with the exception of the AI boat transport bug, which was fixed). The 1.3 patch requires patch 1.2 to have been installed. The last patch came out very late after the release of it's expansion pack and was for kingdoms that is Patch v1.5.

Info on Patches on where to download them can be found [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=96588 here] on TWC.

==Expansion==
[[Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms]]
On March 30, 2007, an expansion, ''Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms'', was announced. It was later released on August 28, 2007 in the US, August 31 in the UK, and September 7 in Australia. It adds four new campaigns to the game:
:* [[The Americas Campaign|Americas]] Campaign - 7 playable factions ([[New Spain (M2TW Kingdoms)|New Spain]], The [[The Aztec Empire (M2TW Kingdoms)|Aztecs]], [[The Mayans (M2TW Kingdoms)|Mayans]], [[The Apachean Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|Apachean Tribes]], [[The Chichimec Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|Chichimeca]], [[The Tlaxcalans Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|Tlaxcalans]] and [[The Tarascans Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|Tarascans]]) on a map of the New World from Guyana to Texas.

[[Total War: Shogun 2]] is the next [[Total War]] title that is scheduled to be released by Sega and the [[Creative Assembly]] exclusively for PC via Steam on March 15, 2011. As in the original [[Shogun: Total War]], the game will take place in feudal Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, or Warring States era, when various clans competed for control of Japan. The game is currently in a Pre-Alpha stage, and as such there is not much definite information about the game. However, it is already known that pre-battle speeches will return, as will naval battles, ninja and geisha units, and the game will feature a smaller amount of units than recent total war games (About 30-40). On Thursday, June 3, 2010, Shogun 2: Total War was announced, and the following day, Totalwar.com was redone and a new page for Total War: Shogun 2 was added.

== Overview ==

It is the middle of the 16th century in Medieval Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. The player takes on the role of one Daimyo – the clan leader – and will use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal: re-unite Japan under his supreme command and become the new Shogun – the undisputed ruler of Japan.

Choose from 9 different clans and compete on and offline for the undisputed supremacy of Medieval Japan. Gain experience to level up your own character-warlord as well as your generals and agents.

Play through the Main Campaign in single player or invite a friend online to play competitively or cooperatively in Campaign Multiplayer mode. Join 8-player multiplayer battles with your own upgradable avatar and climb the online Leaderboard to show the world who reigns supreme. Also including exciting new modes of team play for clans, a first in the Total War series.

A streamlined User Interface makes management of your kingdom much easier. Build and govern cities, recruit and train troops, conduct diplomacy and manage your agents – each feature is now introduced with comprehensive tutorials, gradually revealing the depth of the Shogun 2 campaign map – the heart and soul of the Total War experience.

== Features ==
{{Total War}}

===Battle Mechanics and AI===

Just like in [[Empire: Total War]] and its follow-up [[Napoleon: Total War]], Total War: Shogun 2 will feature full-scale naval engagements. This time around, however, the battlemaps will supposedly include land islands for player orientation, though this cannot be confirmed due to the pre-alpha state of Shogun 2. What the naval units of the Japanese clans remains to be seen; they will most likely consist of Chinese junks, Red Seal ships, and early japanese ironclads.

Also, the siege mechanics of Shogun 2: Total War have supposedly improved greatly. Instead of simply surrounding the enemy and waiting for a hole to appear in the defences, attackers will fight through new, multi-level forts and castles. The Creative Assembly has announced that there will be castles with 5 levels of construction, just like in [[Medieval 2: Total War]]. Siege battles will also be fought in 5 stages.

The Creative Assembly has claimed to have redone Total War: Shogun 2's artificial intelligence. The game's AI, like the original total Shogun: Total War, is supposedly programmed according to Sun Tzu's ''The Art of War''. This is fitting, as the game mechanics demand an AI capable of both ranged and melee warfare. Battle AI in sieges is also supposedly have improved, though this cannot be confirmed because of the pre-alpha state of Shogun 2.

Confirmed to be returning to Shogun 2 are '''Pre-battle speeches'''. There will be over 100,000 possible speeches based on the character, their location, and their relationship to the enemy, etc.[http://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/article/1281/Shogun-2-Begins-Grand-Strategy-Infinite-Loop/]

===The Hero System===

A new ''Hero System'' has been announced, whereupon each faction shall have a Hero that can sway the tide of battle, and are supposedly almost unstoppable. IGN reports that 'hero units are a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield, capable of holding bridge crossings against entire armies, or smashing through a battle line to engage the enemy general'. Some may think that this seems overpowered; however The Creative Assembly has reported that they are simply 'Highly ranked elite units' and 'available at the top of the tech tree'. Creative Assembly employees have also posted in the official total war forums that they will not be able to take on an entire army. This new system is receiving mixed reactions and mixed reports from IGN and The Creative Assembly.

===Multiplayer===

Multiplayer in Shogun 2: Total War will be implemented through Valve's Steam service. There are rumours that the new multiplayer will have a lobby, and it has already been confirmed that there will be 8-player online campaigns akin to Napoleon: Total War and for the first time, new modes of team play for clans. Multiplayer will also feature an online leaderboard to show player rankings and presumably an honor system not unlike that of the original Shogun: Total War. Like every game run through Steam, players will be able to access the Steam online community while ingame.

===Campaign===

The singleplayer campaign mode in Shogun 2 will have 9 playable Japanese clans, each headed by an RPG-like character-warlord. Players will be able to gain experience to level up these warlords as well as their own generals and agents. A new agent system will feature rock-paper-scissors mechanics, and players will be able to build special buildings which will boost their soldiers' morale in a siege battle. However, these buildings can be destroyed or captured, which will lower morale.

As in the original Shogun, there will be 4 seasons as opposed to the 2 half-year system of Rome, Medieval 1 and 2, and Empire, and the Month/Week system of Napoleon. A streamlined user interface in campaign will supposedly help management of the player(s)'s faction and each new feature of campaign will be introduced with extensive tutorials. [http://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/article/1281/Shogun-2-Begins-Grand-Strategy-Infinite-Loop/]

===Music===

Jeff Van Dyke will be returning to compose the music for Total War: Shogun 2. He was the original composer of the music for [[Rome: Total War]], [[Medieval 2: Total War]], [[Medieval: Total War]], and [[Shogun: Total War]]. Many senior total war fans have embraced this news as the best hope for Shogun 2: Total War, as Jeff Van Dyke has received many awards for his music scores, including BAFTA awards for the music of Rome: Total War and the original Shogun: Total War. However, some people want to keep the composer of the Napoleon: Total War score for this new title.

Score recording sessions involving Australian taiko group, TaikOz, have occurred in Sydney, Australia as of October 2010.

Rome: Total War

{{Cleanup}}
{{Total War}}
'''Rome: Total War''' (sometimes abbreviated as '''RTW''') is a strategy game in the [[:Category:Total War Series|Total War Series]] which combines a turn-based campaign map with real time battles. The game was developed by the [[Creative Assembly]] and was released on September 22, 2004.

==Gameplay==
See [[Rome: Total War and Expansions]] for game-play considerations common to [[Rome: Total War]], [[Barbarian Invasion]] and [[Alexander]].

===Campaign Play===
[[Image:Radar_map1.jpg|thumb|right|A radar map of the Imperial Campaign's map]][[Image:RTW campaign map.jpg|thumb|right|Screenshot of RTW's main campaign map]]

The Imperial Campaign starts in 270 BC and ends in 14 AD. Each year consists of two turns. The player controls one of the playable factions on the campaign map with the goal of conquering new regions in order to achieve victory. He can build various structures, expand his cities and move around characters. When the armies of two factions meet each other, they will engage in battle. The player can choose between auto-resolving the battle and fighting it himself on the 3D battle map.

====The Campaign Map====

Rome: Total War's Imperial Campaign map includes Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, parts of North Africa and the Middle East. The campaign map offers many different features. Along with various locations such as settlements and ports there are also several different campaign map characters. Amongst those are generals, captains, diplomats, spies and assassins. The settlements and characters are controlled by the different [[RTW Factions|factions]] which fight against each other in order to achieve supremacy.

Napoleon: Total War

2011-01-08T06:46:01Z

Ulti2day: Protected "Napoleon: Total War": At the request of the Wiki Director ([edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) [move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite))

[[File:Napoleon-total-war-box-artwork-big.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Napoleon: Total War cover]]
__TOC__
[[Napoleon: Total War]] was released on the 23rd of February, 2010. The '''Peninsular Campaign''' DLC was released on the 22nd of June, 2010. Both were developed by the Creative Assembly and published by SEGA.

[[Napoleon: Total War]] is set during the extremely turbulent and violent Napoleonic Era, from 1805 - 1815. Set at a time when revolutionary France is turning the old dynasties of europe upside down, old rivalries and mistrusts will be put aside to halt the amibitions of one man and the rise of a european superpower: France.

Napoleons Italian campaign highlights his struggles against the mighty Austrian empire and her friends in Italy, where management and efficiency is vital. The Egyptian campaign brings a different challenge all together, Napoleon must fight his way up through the Mamelukes and deal with constant nuisance raids from the British in order to achieve his goal. And then the Russian Bear presents a new challenge with her climate, even the best general will struggle to avoid the cold and push through. Patience and cunning will be needed here.

Napoleon: Total War also gives the player a chance to play as one of four Coalition powers: Great Britain, Austria, Prussia or Russia. The effort to stop Napoleon and his new regieme will require all the tactical and strategic genius the Allied powers can muster.
{{Total War}}
This game also brings some revolutionary new features to the Total War series. Creative Assembly has introduced a new system called Attrition. Attrition areas are scattered through the various campaign maps and will drastically effect your campaign if not considered when planning. Troops entering these 'attrition areas' will be effected by the weather and will quickly lose troop numbers during the Winter or Summer months depending on the type. As well as new systems CA has improved systems from [[Empire: Total War]] such as diplomacy. The player now has a greater range of diplomatic actions, such as asking a Faction to issue a trade embargo against another faction, or to join you in a war against another faction.

Empire: Total War

2011-01-08T06:45:22Z

Ulti2day: Protected "Empire: Total War": At the request of the Wiki Director ([edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) [move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite))

{{Total War}}

== Overview ==
Empire: Total War is a game based on the musketry warfare that revolutionized how the battles were fought. The insertion of gun powder and the changes that it brought is one of the hallmarks of this game. The changes in social structures, a period of revolutions, of turmoil. The span of the campaign is the turbulent 18th century, a period that shaped great empires with the colonization of new continents and the stabilization and growth of a global economy.

Empire: Total War introduces to us a great number of changes, being the most valuables the addition of a new type of battlefield, water; a new diplomacy system; a complete new technology system; and a great review of the economic system. Those changes come in the light of what the scope of the game had, major naval battles, the hardships of battle using line infantry, the age of enlightenment, colonies and empires that the sun never goes down on. Those changes only add to the immersion of the game, seeing how you can go to battle with a aristocratic empire and suddenly fight a renewed republic with troops ready to defend their acquired freedom.

==General Information==
There were several innovative changes in this title since the start of the Total War series.

===Campaign Map===

The campaign map is one of the first noted changes in this game. It expands the European centric focus of the first Total War series (the exception is the Shogun: Total War and the Americas Campaign in Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms Expansion), and this expansion covers simultaneously, arguably, all of the World be it either with multiples maps, or be it with trade nodes.This expansion is one of the most uncontroversial ones within this game.

The new campaign map offers new possible strategies to the player, being it with local expansion or the foundation of colonies in diverse theaters of action. Aside that the economic complexity is also affected by this major change, with the addition of new feature called Trade nodes.

The trade nodes add immersion to the game, by allowing the player to acquire and trade resources via merchant ships at specific theaters in the map, those are: South America, West Africa, East Africa and Indonesia. This simulates the enormous growth in trade that is a hallmark of the scope period of the game, with bustling sails reaching far corners of the world with the purpose of trading/colonizing. These theaters offer a great economic boost to whoever controls them, with rich resources like ivory, spice and sugar.

This add to a much neglected part of the Total War series, the need to maintain the dominion of the seas. The pirates now pose a great threat, leading to what was a bustling economy to a ruined empire in a few turns. Another major component to the now need for a great armada is that the trade routes which appeared in previous games are interactive, leading to options of not only blockading the ports put to hinder the enemy economy through state piracy giving you the goods that were flowing through that route.

The resources inside the provinces have now a closer resemblance to Rome: Total War than it had to Medieval 2: Total War, since the latter needs a merchant for the exploitation of the resources, similarities aside this is an expansion on the concept of the province system for that the building who is responsible for the harvesting is not centralized in a capital, but it is spread in the territory itself. This change is more visible in the new town system.

This new town system involves a capital and several subsidiary towns, thus removing some of the importance of the capital and spreading along the whole province. The new slave towns are born from the growth of the population in several villages that are already defined in number different to which territory. Those towns can be configured in four basic towns: schools (used for research of new technologies), manufacturing plants (factories that have several types: textile, smelters and pottery the choice is not up to the player, churches and entertainment buildings.

This add to military strategy as well since that the control of those towns is responsible not only for the income, but for the general happiness of the province, thus raiding towns is a useful tactics and preferred by the AI.

===Technology===

A game based in the century of lights can't cast aside the revolution that happened in several fields of the human knowledge and perception. Empire: Total War brings to the table a new form of supremacy, the technology. The 18th century was marked by several changes to the humanity as a whole, bringing to light several concepts that marked and constructed the post modern world. The tech tree is divided in three major branches, being those: Military, Economics, Governance.

This is one of the most relevant aspects of the game, leading to an empire being weaker than the other considerably just because one has the technological edge over the other. The research also lead to the changes in the way the population behaves and perceives the government, an absolute monarchy is going to have much trouble to sustain itself in the late stages of the campaign, because of the governance researches that were made.

===Factions===
::''-See main article: [[:category:Empire Total War Factions|Empire: Total War Factions]]''

More than fifty factions are included in the game, 36 of which are playable. The other factions cannot be unlocked and have to be modded into the game. The eleven playable factions from the the beginning are:

=== Battlefield Gameplay ===

The introduction of the [[Naval Battles in ETW|naval warfare]] was a major addition to the series. This new and unexplored battlefield was plagued with problems at the game launch. Pathfinding errors made navigation difficult and real world strategies used by admirals from the past didn't work correctly. Land battles suffered from AI problems as well, which resulted in a commander to inevitably win a battle unless faced with overwhelming opposition. Patch 1.6 has helped to alleviate these launch issues.

===Multiplayer===

ETW multiplayer was supposed to be revolutionary with the addition of a brand new feature, the multiplayer online campaign. Aside that we can also highlight that with the integration with steam the game could get a ladder system, giving players the motivation to pursue constant online battles.

The Multiplayer online campaign only reached beta phase, and thus is not integrated into the game. Although it was fully implemented in the Napoleon: Total War. This move was done since that the Hot Seat feature would be discarded in this title.

Although it is still in beta, its possible to conduct a campaign with other players, this requires a [http://www.totalwar.com/empire/beta/ registration]

This was a very turbulent time in Britain being only a short time after the end of the rebellion by Simon de Montfort and the start of the reign of Edward I. This mod aims to bring together the major factions involved at the time in an enjoyable bit of history hokum and game play. Its concept is that you lead your family house to ever greater riches and power whilst following the medieval virtues of Feudalism, Family loyalty and the need to ensure a successful male line. The mod is planned to have 27 factions in total including rebels.

:The first one was just adding of internal links.
:The second was to get rid of that bar at the edge, but seemingly didn't work. And that wasn't even a template.[[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 11:02, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:: The Edit to Napoleon has good and bad features which should be addressed individually [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=Napoleon%3A_Order_of_War&action=historysubmit&diff=33679&oldid=33623] I've no idea what the width feature is meant to do (and suspect that no one else does either... as most of these originate from copies from Wikipedia etc...) removing that didn't change the display of the template... Adding the internal link to the Napoleon Total War page - which does already exist is a good idea. Adding a dead internal link to 'Marshal Beale' where that page doesn't exist, but old link went to his forum profile, is not productive, unless Meneth is very imminently about to make a page for him....

Secondly, it has come to my attention that you are creating new pages just for the purpose of redirecting them to other pages.

:A large amount of pages write "Rome Total War" instead of "Rome: Total War", which was my reasoning for creating that redirect-page. It makes adding internal links easier.
:The second one was so that people can actually ''find'' the House of Wilpuri page. In it's current form it is hard to find unless one knows to search for "Category:House of Wilpuri", while with that redirect page in place one will find it immediately by just searching for "House of Wilpuri" [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 11:02, 3 January 2011 (MST)

::Ref-the category thing... Simetrical did point out a while ago that content shouldn't really be placed on 'category' pages, for various reasons, inc, they are not included in initial search versions, and they are harder to link to (without accidentally putting the linked page into the category instead of linking out to it).... Diversion from 'House of Wilpuri' to the Cat page if that is where the info is, does seem reasonable if it works -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:09, 3 January 2011 (MST)

:::The reason AFAIK that The House of Wilpuri is located on a category-page is that having two separate pages would make little sense. The same has been done for both Civitate and Artifex pages, and both have redirects from the page to the category-page. Doing the same for The House of Wilpuri is therefore in accordance with precedence. [[User:Meneth|~Meneth]] 16:11, 3 January 2011 (MST)

::::Yup - I was agreeing with your reasoning for adding the redirect. As to the fact that the info is on the Category page, if we were all starting again we probably wouldn't do it that way, but it's not worth moving that or similar ones off now.[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 16:28, 3 January 2011 (MST)

Napoleon: Total War

2010-09-26T11:53:43Z

Ulti2day:

__TOC__
==Overview==
[[Napoleon: Total War]] is set during the extremely turbulent and violent Napoleonic Era, from 1805 - 1815. Set at a time when revolutionary France is turning the old dynasties of europe upside down, old rivalries and mistrusts will be put aside to halt the amibitions of one man and the rise of a european superpower: France.

Napoleons Italian campaign highlights his struggles against the mighty Austrian empire and her friends in Italy, where management and efficiency is vital. The Egyptian campaign brings a different challenge all together, Napoleon must fight his way up through the Mamelukes and deal with constant nuisance raids from the British in order to achieve his goal. And then the Russian Bear presents a new challenge with her climate, even the best general will struggle to avoid the cold and push through. Patience and cunning will be needed here.

Napoleon: Total War also gives the player a chance to play as one of four Coalition powers: Great Britain, Austria, Prussia or Russia. The effort to stop Napoleon and his new regieme will require all the tactical and strategic genius the Allied powers can muster.

This game also brings some revolutionary new features to the Total War series. Creative Assembly has introduced a new system called Attrition. Attrition areas are scattered through the various campaign maps and will drastically effect your campaign if not considered when planning. Troops entering these 'attrition areas' will be effected by the weather and will quickly lose troop numbers during the Winter or Summer months depending on the type. As well as new systems CA has improved systems from [[Empire: Total War]] such as diplomacy. The player now has a greater range of diplomatic actions, such as asking a Faction to issue a trade embargo against another faction, or to join you in a war against another faction.

==General Information==
*Napoleon: Total War could be considered the easiest Total War game to pick up so far, as it's well oiled and tested systems are easy to use by a new player.
*Napoleon: Total War took an already revolutionary system and made it better, with a far superior campaign and battle AI, plus a wider range of available options
*The game is set during the Napoleonic Era, allowing more advanced weaponry to be researched

Total War: Shogun 2

2010-06-04T05:53:17Z

Ulti2day: Undo revision 29111 by Spiff (talk)

{{Total War}}

Shogun 2: Total War is the next Total War title that is scheduled to be released by Sega and the Creative Assembly in 2011. As in the original Shogun: Total War, the game will take place in feudal Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, or Warring States era, when various clans competed for control of Japan. The game is currently in a Pre-Alpha stage, and as such there is not much definite information about the game. A recent article from IGN hints at a smaller number of units than previous total war titles(around 20 per faction), more focus on the story and characters, the return of pre-battle speeches, upgradable generals, and (more) sea battles including a rock-paper-scissors system.

===Features===

''' The Hero System'''

A highly controversial new ''Hero System'' has been announced, whereupon each faction shall have a Hero that can sway the tide of battle, almost unstoppable. IGN reports that 'hero units are a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield, capable of holding bridge crossings against entire armies, or smashing through a battle line to engage the enemy general'. This may seem overpowered, however The Creative Assembly has reported that they are simply 'Highly ranked elite units' and 'available at the top of the tech tree'. Creative Assembly employees have also posted in the official total war forums that they will not be able to take on an entire army. This new system is receiving mixed reactions and mixed reports from IGN and The Creative Assembly.

'''New Artificial Intelligence'''

The battle AI of Empire: Total War was looked down on by many people as a comlete failure on the part of The Creative Assembly to create a competent AI which could match up to veteran total war players. The Creative Assembly has claimed to have redone Shogun 2: Total War's artificial intelligence. The game's AI, like the original total Shogun: Total War, is supposedly programmed according to Sun Tzu's ''The Art of War''. This is fitting, as the game mechanics demand an AI capable of both ranged and melee warfare.

===Music===

Jeff Van Dyke will be returning to compose the music for Shogun 2: Total War. He was the original composer of the music for Rome: Total War, Medieval 2: Total War, Medieval: Total War, and Shogun: Total War. Many senior total war fans have embraced this news as the best hope for Shogun 2: Total War, as Jeff Van Dyke has received many awards for his music scores, including BAFTA awards for the music of Rome: Total War and the original Shogun: Total War. However, some people want to keep the composer of the Napoleon: Total War score for this new title.

With regards to this page, at the moment it is okay to have uncitated facts/opinions. I actually wrote that section on the Hero System, saying it is controversial. Please do not remove such information at the current stage, as in pre-alpha stage any information about the game could be wrong/incorrect/opinion.

Total War: Shogun 2

2010-06-03T13:07:44Z

Shogun 2: Total War is the next game that will be released by Sega and the Creative Assembly. The game is currently in Pre-Alpha stage, and as such there is not much definite information about the game. A recent article from IGN hints at a smaller number of units (around 20 per faction), more focus on the story and characters, the return of pre-battle speeches, upgradable generals, (more) sea battles including a rock-paper-scissors system.

A major new system, which is very controversial and gaining mixed reactions, is a 'Hero' system, where each faction shall have a Hero, historically accurate, that can sway the tide of battle, almost unstoppable. IGN reports that 'hero units are a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield, capable of holding bridge crossings against entire armies, or smashing through a battle line to engage the enemy general'. This may seem overpowered, however CA reports that they are just 'Highly ranked elite units' and 'available at the top of the tech tree'. CA also claims that they won't be able to take on an entire army, but both sides are claiming something different, time will tell.

Descr strat.txt

2010-06-01T08:49:12Z

Ulti2day: Undo revision 29043 by 87.250.125.139 (talk)

==Location==

Descr_strat.txt is one of the core files in both [[Rome: Total War]] and [[Medieval II: Total War]]. It can be found at [Install location]\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt, depending on what game it is (by default the folder name would be Rome - Total War or Medieval II - Total War) and which campaign it is.

'''Note:'''
*In [[Medieval II: Total War]] the descr_strat.txt is set to read only. To fix this, right click the file, select properties and uncheck 'read-only'. Press OK and you are good to go. (Supposedly)

==Usage==

The Descr_strat.txt contains all info about the beginning of every campaign. It controls simple things such as the starting date, end date and playable factions. Furthermore it also contains info about the different resources. Most of the file however consists of info for all of the factions, such as diplomacy relations, starting money, settlement level and buildings, armies and agents and family relations.

==Modding==

Descr_strat.txt is argueably one of the easiest files to edit. It can also be quite difficult for a novice modder to get into. Here are some examples of what can be done with it:

===Setting all factions as playable===

This is the [[vanilla]] (unmodded) version of the [[Medieval II: Total War]] descr_strat.txt. At the very beginning of the file, you should see this:

<pre>
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice
end
unlockable
sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary
end
nonplayable
papal_states
aztecs
mongols
timurids
slave
end
</pre>

Now, if say, you want to make the [[Turks]] playable, you need to move it to the playable section. The easiest way to do this is to highlight "turks", right click it and select 'cut'. Then, after "venice" press enter (to make a new line), make a single tab (this doesn't really mean anything, it's just cleaner this way), and then paste "turks" there. Now if you load up the game the Turks should be playable. If you just want to make every faction playable, highlight all of them, cut and paste in the playable section. Same goes for [[Rome: Total War]].

'''NOTES:'''
*You can also make nonplayable factions playable, but beware. There is a reason for not having them playable by default. Factions such as the [[Mongols]] and [[Timurids]] only appear after some turns, so you don't want to play as them (unless you make them playable from the beginning, something which isn't covered in this article). The [[Papal States]] and the [[Senate]] ([[SPQR]]) from [[Rome: Total War| RTW]] will probably generate alot of crashes, as they have some special coding attached to them that makes them issue missions to you, amongst other things. (For example when playing as SPQR in [[Rome: Total War| RTW]] and opening up the [[senate-scroll]], you will have an immediate crash).

*In [[Rome: Total War| RTW]] alot of factions that are normal factions are nonplayable. Basically what you can do here is to make all factions except the [[rebels]] (slave) and the SPQR playable. The nonplayable factions don't have any descriptions, intro videos or faction leader portraits though.

*After the [1.3]-patch for [[Rome: Total War]], making all factions weren't that simple anymore. You also had to add some starting maps, leader portraits etc to the faction. This is easiest by just copying another factions files, renaming them while keeping the content the same. (This will be inaccurate, but an easy way of making them playable).

*In [[Medieval II: Total War]], there is an even easier way of making all factions (except the [[Papal States]], [[Aztecs]], [[Mongols]], [[Timurids]] and [[Rebels]]) playable. This is done by adding two lines of text to the preference file:

<pre>
[misc]
unlock_campaign = true
</pre>

The result is the same, but some may find this method easier.

===Adding Money to a Faction===

Adding money to a faction is a very simple operation. Here's how to do it:

Scroll down to the factions section. It can be found easiest by pressing 'ctrl'+'F', and then type in the faction you want to add money to. (Sometimes the first hit it gives you is the faction name in the playable-/nonplayablefactions-section. To avoid this click with your mouse someplace after this.) Let's take the [[Gaul]]s in [[Rome: Total War| RTW]] as an example. Once you have scrolled down you should see this:

<pre>
faction gauls, religious smith
denari 5000
</pre>

After it there is a list of every settlement the [[Gaul]]s has, but just ignore it.
Anyway, simple change the number after denari, and when loading up the game the [[Gaul]]s will have more or less money than in [[vanilla]], depending on what you set it to!

United States (ETW Faction)

2010-05-29T03:07:43Z

Ulti2day: Undo revision 29034 by 71.195.10.41 (talk)

{{Faction|image=[[Image:United_States_flag.jpg|250px]]|Name=United States|Game=[[Empire: Total War]]|Religion=[[Protestant]]|Culture=American}}

United States is one of the playable factions in Empire: Total War and is available through completing the Road to Independence.

==Overview==
The United States of America is a nation forged in the fires of revolution and rebellion against the British monarch; seen as distant, foreign and tyrannical.

After the French and Indian Wars, the British government took an entirely reasonable line: The American colonists should pay taxes to contribute to the navy and army that helped defend them. The colonists saw it differently, with no representation in the British Parliament to argue their cases, nor any sense of rights from the British.

The Americans faced down Britain. The struggle split counties, cities, towns, even families.
In its wake, the revolution left a new kind of nation, a republic where men choose their own destinies. This spirit of independence is a source of strength. It is also a source of weakness, for Americans cherish the right to do as they alone think best. This may lead to yet another great divide in years to come...

America now has a future of boundless possibilities. A continent stretches away to the West, and no one is entirely sure what is to be found there. There may still be scores to settle with the British in Canada, or ambitious nations from Europe to discourage. There is much to do, if this newest of nations is to survive and prosper

==Starting Positions==

The United States start with Georgia, Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Confederation of New England, and Maine.

==Units==

*[[Sakers (ETW Unit)|Sakers]]

They have practically the same units as the British, respectively, but have a special militia called the Minutemen that are bad at melee range but are good at firing range as well as skirmishers called Long Riflemen. They also lack European Cavalry such as Hussars and Uhlans.

Empire: Total War

2010-05-29T03:07:16Z

Ulti2day: Reverted edits by 71.195.10.41 (talk) to last revision by 58.161.18.62

== Overview ==
[[Empire: Total War]] is set in the turbulent 18th century. It is a period alive with global conflict, revolutionary fervor and technological advances. With themes such as the Industrial Revolution, America’s struggle for independence, the race to control Eastern trade routes and the globalisation of war on land and sea, Empire: Total War™ is arguably amongst the richest and most dynamic PC RTS games of all time.

Empire: Total War has seen the debut of 3D naval combat within the Total War™ franchise. PC Gamers are able to intuitively command vast fleets or single ships upon seascapes rich with extraordinary water and weather effects that play a huge role in your eventual glorious success or ignominious defeat. After pummeling your enemy with cannon fire, close in to grapple their ship and board them, as your men fight hand to hand on the decks for control.

Along with the revolutionary introduction of Naval Combat, Empire: Total War™ has seen further enhancements to the Total War™ series signature 3D battles and turn based campaign map. Real time battles pose new challenges with the addition of cannon and musket, challenging players to master new [[formations]] and tactics as a result of the increasing role of gunpowder within warfare. And the Campaign Map – for many the heart of Total War™ – has seen new improved systems for Trade, Diplomacy and Espionage with agents, a refined and streamlined UI, improved Advisors and extended scope taking in the riches of India, the turbulence of Europe and the untapped potential of North America.

''“Empire: Total War™ is a huge revolutionary step for the series. We’re delighted to introduce true 3D naval combat, something that adds a totally new dimension to Total War™ games. We’re genuinely excited about what we’re achieving with the naval battles and also by the scale of the improvements being made to the core of the game – the land battles and the campaign. This will undoubtedly be the biggest and best Total War™ game we’ve ever made.”''

- Mike Simpson, Studio Director at The Creative Assembly and the father of the Total War™ franchise. [http://www.totalwar.com/index.html?page=/en/newsandpress/index.html&nav=/en/5/ Read More]

==General Information==

*Empire: Total War is arguably one of the most accessible Total War game ever. Enhanced auto management, revolutionized UI, improved advice system and tutorials all combine to introduce new players to the concepts of Total War, quickly and easily.
*Empire: Total War includes a full re-write of the AI with a wider range of strategies and tactics, providing a formidable opponent on land, sea and on the campaign map.
*The game is set in the years 1700 to the early 1800’s, a turbulent age of gunpowder, revolution, discovery and Empire Building.

{{Faction|image=[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]|Name=France|Game=[[Napoleon: Total War]]|Religion=[[Catholic (NTW Religion)|Catholic]]|Culture=European}}

France is one of the 5 playable factions in Napoleon: Total War. It is the only faction to feature in all three campaigns, and is the main focus of the game. It is a major faction.

==Overview==

[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]

Behind all the Imperial façade and republican sentiments, France is once again an absolute monarchy, now ruled by Emperor Napoleon I. His efforts to secure good marriages for his brothers and marshals are dynastic politics that Bourbon kings would have grasped instantly. Yet, for all this, the French people have freedom, as Napoleon has used credit gained by his victories to remake France. Merit, as well as birth, now counts for something.

The Emperor’s efforts have given France an impressive empire and domination over many neighbours; he is a source of strength. Napoleon has redrawn the map of Europe to suit his own ends. He is also a great weakness, as his treatment of enemies and rivals has not been entirely politic or polite. He has caused offence to nearly everyone, taking not giving, even when he should have been conciliatory. He has managed, through poor diplomacy, to make the British look like attractive allies to many. As a result, the Austrians are waiting for an opportunity to strike back at France for their recent humiliations and losses. The Russians, too, will strike down this new upstart emperor if given a chance, and will they ignore Napoleon’s instructions to ban trade with England? The Prussians, apparently, are content to sit and wait, but for how long? Will they idly sit by if it becomes necessary to extend French power in northern Germany? And then there are the British: always there are the British. That vindictive little island will have to be dealt with at some time.

France, therefore, faces many rivals. But if they can be isolated and removed one by one, then Europe really will know peace, under Bonaparte, the heir to Caesar!

[[Image:APETI_Logo.png|300px|center|A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita]]

[[A Proper Empire]] is a modification for Empire: Total War. The latest version of APE:TI significantly alters most aspects of the game we have access to and offers you a wholly different gameplay designed to allow you to make much more interesting and difficult decisions as befits a proper strategy game.

A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita balances combat, morale, and battlefield effects. Pricing changes in units, buildings, and research costs will challenge you but new units, new technologies, and new methods of controlling your Empire will be available.
Enjoy exciting new features like Manpower and Supply, a completely rebalanced economy and, most importantly, an exhilarating new gameplay feeling. The aim is to present the player with ways to employ diverse strategies and present him with interesting decision that offer meaningful choices.

Thanks to major contributions from members all across the community the mod now contains additional unit textures, improved smoke and sounds, historically accurate battalion/naval flags. Also included; over half a dozen new units, with more to come -- there are even compatible additional unit packs provided by members of the community!

[[A Proper Empire]] is a modification for Empire: Total War. The latest version of APE:TI significantly alters most aspects of the game we have access to and offers you a wholly different gameplay designed to allow you to make much more interesting and difficult decisions as befits a proper strategy game.

A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita balances combat, morale, and battlefield effects. Pricing changes in units, buildings, and research costs will challenge you but new units, new technologies, and new methods of controlling your Empire will be available.
Enjoy exciting new features like Manpower and Supply, a completely rebalanced economy and, most importantly, an exhilarating new gameplay feeling. The aim is to present the player with ways to employ diverse strategies and present him with interesting decision that offer meaningful choices.

Thanks to major contributions from members all across the community the mod now contains additional unit textures, improved smoke and sounds, historically accurate battalion/naval flags. Also included; over half a dozen new units, with more to come -- there are even compatible additional unit packs provided by members of the community!

Enjoy exciting new features like Manpower and Supply, a completely rebalanced economy and, most importantly, an exhilarating new gameplay feeling. The aim is to present the player with ways to employ diverse strategies and present him with interesting decision that offer meaningful choices.

Thanks to major contributions from members all across the community the mod now contains additional unit textures, improved smoke and sounds, historically accurate battalion/naval flags.

Ulti2day:

I know you are trying to help with the NTW Faction pages, but we have a system around here. When creating unit pages please just use 'Fusiliers (NTW Unit)' or click on the links in the articles. This is because I don't want a million different pages just for different factions units. Check the ETW faction pages to see what I mean [[Special:Contributions/60.224.192.14|60.224.192.14]] 02:55, 20 April 2010 (MDT)

Okay, but IMO that system is so poorly documented and organized as to be completely useless to any modder or player just seeking general information. But if that's the way the "system" has to be, I'll just go somewhere else. [[User:ProvostGuard|ProvostGuard]] 08:25, 20 April 2010 (MDT)

Well it is the same system that we use for NTW, and I don't see how it is poorly documented and organized? It is easy to follow and I don't see how it is uselss to any modder or player seeking general information. General information is things such as recruitment cost, building required, factions they can be recruited from. Etc. Please do elaborate on your point.

{{Faction|image=[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]|Name=France|Game=[[Napoleon: Total War]]|Religion=[[Catholic (NTW Religion)|Catholic]]|Culture=European}}

France is one of the 5 playable factions in Napoleon: Total War. It is the only faction to feature in all three campaigns, and is the main focus of the game. It is a major faction.

==Overview==

[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]

Behind all the Imperial façade and republican sentiments, France is once again an absolute monarchy, now ruled by Emperor Napoleon I. His efforts to secure good marriages for his brothers and marshals are dynastic politics that Bourbon kings would have grasped instantly. Yet, for all this, the French people have freedom, as Napoleon has used credit gained by his victories to remake France. Merit, as well as birth, now counts for something.

The Emperor’s efforts have given France an impressive empire and domination over many neighbours; he is a source of strength. Napoleon has redrawn the map of Europe to suit his own ends. He is also a great weakness, as his treatment of enemies and rivals has not been entirely politic or polite. He has caused offence to nearly everyone, taking not giving, even when he should have been conciliatory. He has managed, through poor diplomacy, to make the British look like attractive allies to many. As a result, the Austrians are waiting for an opportunity to strike back at France for their recent humiliations and losses. The Russians, too, will strike down this new upstart emperor if given a chance, and will they ignore Napoleon’s instructions to ban trade with England? The Prussians, apparently, are content to sit and wait, but for how long? Will they idly sit by if it becomes necessary to extend French power in northern Germany? And then there are the British: always there are the British. That vindictive little island will have to be dealt with at some time.

France, therefore, faces many rivals. But if they can be isolated and removed one by one, then Europe really will know peace, under Bonaparte, the heir to Caesar!

Indiaman (NTW Unit)

Ulti2day: moved Indiaman (NTW Unit) to Indianman (NTW Unit): Correcting spelling

{{Unit|image=[[Image:Indiaman (Trade Ship).jpg]]|Class=Trade Ship|Men=120|Guns=58|Recruitable From=Commercial Port|Region=Europe|Recruitment Cost=1150|Upkeep Cost=100|Technology Needed=None}}

==Overview==

Unusually for a merchant ship, an Indiaman carries cargo, passengers, and a good number of guns. Intended to sail from Europe to the other side of the world and back carrying valuable, even priceless, cargoes, these ships have to be able to defend themselves. The Indiaman’s 9- and 18-pounders are sufficient to fight off smaller attackers, but it is vulnerable to boarding. Carrying a cargo does not help its speed either, and the added guns mean the upkeep has an impact on any profit made. However, a defendable trade ship is always more profitable than stolen goods or kidnapped passengers.

Historically, East Indiamen resembled ships of the line, both in their general configuration and paintwork. At the Battle of Pulo Aura (1804), the ambiguous appearance and aggressive handling of a squadron of British Indiamen completely humbugged the French admiral, Charles-Alexandre Linois. He withdrew in the face of “superior” forces. Commodore Nathaniel Dance, of the British Company fleet, received a knighthood and a handsome reward for his cunning.

{{Unit|image=[[Image:Merchantmen (Trade Ship).jpg]]|Class=Trade Ship|Men=120|Guns=12|Recruitable From=Trading Port|Region=Europe|Recruitment Cost=500|Upkeep Cost=40|Technology Needed=None}}

==Overview==

This trade ship is neither blessed with speed nor firepower and can be outmanoeuvred by most naval vessels. It is built for trade, and its low upkeep costs mean a large profit from each journey. If trapped it can defend itself slightly and maybe even drive off very weak attackers, but merchants are not fighting men, and their low morale and the ship’s light guns are unlikely to last long against a real warship.

British merchant trading was the strongest in the world during the Napoleonic era, and this position was protected by the Navigation Acts first passed in 1651. Trade with British colonies had to be carried out using “British bottoms” or British ships, not to mention British ports and mainly British crews, effectively squeezing out any competition. Other nations tried similar protectionist policies, but without as much success. Despite this legal help, British merchant owners were not without their difficulties; the Royal Navy used press gangs to recruit seamen for the ranks and experienced merchant sailors were the first to be targeted, forcing merchant owners to pay high wages for less able seamen simply to run their ships.

France (NTW Faction)

Ulti2day: Corrected all the edits to incorrect pages by the user ProverbGuard. Have notified him of the system we use, and have added the flag back into the overview.

{{Faction|image=[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]|Name=France|Game=[[Napoleon: Total War]]|Religion=[[Catholic (NTW Religion)|Catholic]]|Culture=European}}

France is one of the 5 playable factions in Napoleon: Total War. It is the only faction to feature in all three campaigns, and is the main focus of the game. It is a major faction.

==Overview==

[[image:Flag (France).jpg|250px]]

Behind all the Imperial façade and republican sentiments, France is once again an absolute monarchy, now ruled by Emperor Napoleon I. His efforts to secure good marriages for his brothers and marshals are dynastic politics that Bourbon kings would have grasped instantly. Yet, for all this, the French people have freedom, as Napoleon has used credit gained by his victories to remake France. Merit, as well as birth, now counts for something.

The Emperor’s efforts have given France an impressive empire and domination over many neighbours; he is a source of strength. Napoleon has redrawn the map of Europe to suit his own ends. He is also a great weakness, as his treatment of enemies and rivals has not been entirely politic or polite. He has caused offence to nearly everyone, taking not giving, even when he should have been conciliatory. He has managed, through poor diplomacy, to make the British look like attractive allies to many. As a result, the Austrians are waiting for an opportunity to strike back at France for their recent humiliations and losses. The Russians, too, will strike down this new upstart emperor if given a chance, and will they ignore Napoleon’s instructions to ban trade with England? The Prussians, apparently, are content to sit and wait, but for how long? Will they idly sit by if it becomes necessary to extend French power in northern Germany? And then there are the British: always there are the British. That vindictive little island will have to be dealt with at some time.

France, therefore, faces many rivals. But if they can be isolated and removed one by one, then Europe really will know peace, under Bonaparte, the heir to Caesar!

Ulti2day:

All exclusive units from the 'Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars' and 'The Elite Regiment Pack' are to be linked to the page named [[Elite Units (NTW)]] | [[User:Ultimation|Ultimation]] 01:37, 11 April 2010 (MDT)

That seems slightly unnecessary. I've taken the liberty of giving all the French infantry units their own pages, while putting the appropriate unit packs in parentheses. I'll try to improve this page in the coming weeks.

By the way, I plan on making a separate page for each unit of each faction so readers can see the whole variety of units. Thanks. [[User:ProvostGuard|ProvostGuard]] 01:15, 20 April 2010 (MDT)

And I have just redirected them to the proper pages. This is a system that the Wiki Staff have worked out, and will not call for unnecessary pages. Each unit is to have one page, which will contain details on the unit and each faction it can be recruited from.

Please consult with others before you start editing, as I had done a lot of work for this page which I have now had to do again. P.M me on the TWC forums if you have any questions. [[User:Ultimation|Ultimation]] 03:07, 20 April 2010 (MDT)
