Empire Total War, Again

Can always msconfig it and turn off all mcafee crap, make sure you hit up services as well.

Yeah, I did the Msconfig services thingy.  Nothing.  I'm using vista so the whole damn thing is annoying.  I think the problem is something else though now.  I found that part of an old Mod was still on my PC and I deleted that.  I'm trying again now.

And that fixed it.  Stupid Vista, always hiding files from me.

Don't install games in the Program Files folder.

I installed it through Steam.  I have no idea where the files go after that.  Into the fucking ether for all I know.  I found the bits of this mod in a file called "roaming" which was hidden in documents or something.

The battle AI is better.  Line infantry no longer form a large mob and charge at the center of your line which is nice.

Apparently cities no longer display on my campaign map.

The sheer retardedness of Vista knows no bounds. I remember trying to track down some save games this one time...

how much does this cost now? Is it worth a punt?

30 bucks on Steam.  I like hearing the Poles scream.

When ever I played they just huddled together in a big mass and walked at my center.  Then the guys in back would stop and shoot the guys in front just for good measure.

Were you by any chance fighting the Russians?

It pissed me off at first, but now I see some sense in it.  The idea is that anything that you do in a program, be it change a setting or save a game, is kept in a separate folder for your user.  That makes back up and restoration much simpler.  All you have to do is restore the user files via Windows backup, reinstall the programs, and then open them up as if you've done nothing at all.  No need to do stuff like redo like the settings or something of that nature.

Sometimes.  Though I always thought that Russian aristocrats spoke French in this time period.

Steam installs are put into the Steam folder.  If it's in Program Files, then that's where your installs are. For example: C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\<game>.

<name>\AppData\Roaming is the same thing as Documents and Settings\<name>\Application Data in XP. Unhide it by going to control panel -> folder options -> view tab -> Show Hidden Files and Folders -> Apply. 

Edit:  Also, Steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data is where you put mod packs that don't have their own little installer like DMUC.  For future reference.
