Got it, did it, don't understand a thing :)

Hi !

Got the game yesterday, installed it immediatly, started to edit the most annoying text bugs (Seeschlacht instead of Feldschlacht for example; found only two or three english rudiments, that are in the EXE-file, the rest is mostly in editable files, so no great problem for working out the text bugs !) and started the tutorial.

And here the story starts:

Where will I find this #*$%&! Mameluks ?
Will I have to conquer my way through all of Europe to get to them ?
I'm in 1522 and no sign of this cowards !
I have colonized every single province I've entered, but is this all ?
Will I really have to wait for decades to get a colony grewing to a city to produce armies and fleets or do I something wrong ?
Another point is, that I'll have to do it again (no save function in tutorial !).

Please, gimme hints or gimme dead !
Enlighten this newbee about the right strategies for this brilliant but very, very complex game !!!

Thanks and cu,

Soma

hi soma,
hope you will find this reply helpful!

1. a colony is treated as city, if it reaches 700 population(lvl7 col.). so you should continue to send colonists (+100 each; +1lvl)
2. you should try to incorporate natives in your settlement, this will boost your population and needs fewer colonists (lvl 5/lvl 6 is sufficient)
3. the mameluks had their power base in todays egypt. you should know how to get from eire to egypt. btw doesn´t the game have such an helpful direction arrow for the mameluks, like it had for castillia?

where can i rename the 'seeschlacht' to 'feldschlacht'

Servus Max I !

im Unterordner config befindet sich eine Datei text.csv, und in der sind die ganzen Texte (so ein Zufall).

Mit Wordpad oder einem Hexeditor öffnen, dann nach Seeschlacht suchen.

Müsste mindestens zweimal zu finden sein. Jedesmal steht dann ein grossgeschriebenes Wort vor dem Text (kann mich nicht genau erinnern). Wenn das Wort mit N beginnt (=NAVAL), dann passt es, wenn es aber mit L beginnt(=LAND), dann i Feldschlacht umändern.

Wenn's Probleme gibt, ich schau heute abend nochmal nach und sag'' Dir dann die genaue Stelle !

Bis dann,

Soma.

The Mameluks are in what is today's Egypt and palestine-SYria.
The tutorial is just to learn the basics, don't spend too much time on it...
You should begin an easy scenario, like a GC with France for example, you'll learn even better and in a funnier way.

Thanks for the direction I'll try to march the shortest way down. But nevertheless, it seems 'a long way to Tipperary, ooops, egypt' !!!

Should read the manual another time, because somehow I overlooked the thing with sending more than one colonist. Without that, I would wait another century for getting new cities. Thanks for that hint !

I think I clean up the text.csv anothertime and then: fini !!!

See you,

Soma
