Shogun 2 Total War

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I steer clear of Darthmod as I find it too often breaks the late game portion of whatever TW title it's modding.

[Sir Slash]

I've had no problems with the techs in Darth/ Fots. You have to be at certain Modernization levels in order to build or do certain things and some buildings take away from the levels as well as affect public order too. Check your Modernization level & see if that's the problem. I've had an occasional crash with Darth but no other problems other than the damned, devious AI.

[mikeck]

Yeah...Lol...that is the problem: modernization. My question is why? I cannot advance tech levels because I am not modernizing. The bar is either filled or empty but either way. It Ain't moving. I have built every possible building to increase my modernization but it won't advance to level two

[Sir Slash]

I'm at a loss too. Maybe demolish any buildings that are subtracting from modernization. Or try a new game with a different faction and see if it repeats. I've really had no problems with techs vanilla or darth.  :-\

Incidentally, I discovered how to make that big damn pause menu go away during battles:  A kind soul over at TWC informed me this is because I had the battles' Realism Mode box checked.  Oops! 


Sigh.  I'd love to be able to go just one day without embarrassing and/or making an ass of myself...

that would be a sad day for the forum - i like that its here for us all to share our daily shame and humiliations

[Gusington]

If that's the worst way you're making an ass of yourself you're doing alright.

[Sir Slash]

I never knew that Martok. If you want some real Ass-Making lessons, I'm the man to go to. The thing about Shogun 2 is, how do you get that damned music out of your head?

Just a drop to cut the dust. 8)

Maybe I will just turn it off and on again...that's my only solution for electronic  related problems

Oh Drat! Realm Divide has kicked in my current game (haven't gone this far in a while).  I plan to post regular updates in my blog and in this boards.

I think Realm Divide is a fine twist to Total War. People may hate it because it's tough but it sure makes for an interesting game.  And it makes so much sense during the Sengoku Era where rival lords are backstabbing each other while holding diplomatic relationships at the same time.

It makes perfect sense to use it.  But the results of the vanilla Realm Divide is rather abrupt and nasty.  So much so that even your most steadfast and long-held allies turn against you in almost no time.  Even Nobunaga still had a few allied clans who stuck with him to the end IIRC. 

So I tend to use one of the mods that reduces the effect enough that the highest rated allies still have a possibility of staying allied, instead of losing all of them every time.

[jomni]

My original daimyo has died in a big battle against the Ikko Ikki. Everyone hates me except for one long time ally who is about to turn against me.  Probably shouldn't waste money on him every month anymore and raise troops for the inevitable clash.

I am nearly complete with the victory conditions.   I have some 3 small vassals to act as buffers and trade partners.

[Martok]

Realm Divide as a concept never bothered me, but I've long felt its implementation was flawed.  It's always felt "gamey" in its unmodded form.
