The older campaign files are probably more stable but have several inaccuracies and are likely less fun (3.4 and 3.5)ĭue to the lack of a new launcher you will have to manually select which version of the campaign you want to play.ĭifferent campaign files are available in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\ACW\SubMods\ZoR\WPATH\CS or US.Ĭopy the files from any of the 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6 subfolders that you wish to use into The latest versions are more immersive and enjoyable, including some starting armies and forts (3.6 Starting Armies), but will have campaign crashes at certain point. BETA TESTING CAMPAIGN SELECTION for experienced users that want to experiment:ĭue to bugs with the present campaign files (startpos) we have provided several versions of the campaign files for you to choose from. But, you could experiment with campaigns, keep reading… Version 3.6 is intended for Warpath, as RTI campaign does not have the same detailed map of North America. We will have to do a new startpos from scratch, but since this will take long, we decided to release this, so you can at least have something to play now. WARNING: Due to some startpos bugs introduced in the past by previous modders, the Campaign will eventually crash some 15-30 turns in. How will you know 3.6 is installed? The game launching screen should be the one you see above and units should have all new square icons. If you do not wish to do a clean install, then start the SubsPower ACW launcher, and exit it choosing “Vanilla Ready”, then overwrite the respective files in ACW folder, then start the ACW launcher again, choose “Warpath”, and “Zone of Recruitment” in Submods and launch US or CS. (unzip it with 7zip and copy the ACW folder found inside into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War, overwriting existing files there) You can download the current v3.6 Beta here: The current form of v3.6 only overwrites the existing files in the ACW/Submods folder, particularly the Scripts and the ZoR files, so same rules apply as for launching v3.5 (ZoR).
Then follow the existing install instructions up to version v3.5 (ZoR) Remove your Empire and all the old ACW files that may be left in its folder after the un-installation. Perhaps a clean re-install of Empire:Total War (Warpath) is the best way to go.
We had hoped we could fix all the bugs and get an auto installer for this relatively functioning version of ACW v3.6 Beta, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be and we didn’t want to wait a few more months, so you will have to do a manual install. Maybe not everything we’ve hoped for and you anticipated, but it is something.
