Sorry Pete, no, it is certainly not intended, and the start dates on my versions of the mod (Campaigns, Custom Battles and MP) go right back to 1000 BC. I have not amended any files in the TT Mod that might cause this, and I don't even know how to cause this to happen. So I really have no idea why you are having this problem.

Are the start dates okay when you select the vanilla campaign or custom battles modules?

After having a further look at how these start dates are created this morning, it seems to me that they are just generated from the start availability dates of the armies in the ArmyList.txt, I am sure Richard will correct me on this if I am wrong.

The ArmyList.txt should contain an Early Arab list, called E_ARAB. This is just the standard E_ARAB army from the vanilla game, although I did create some special units for it. The E_ARAB list starts from 1000 BC, which I think is the earliest current start date in the game.

I am wondering if maybe your ArmyList.txt was corrupted when you downloaded it. Maybe you could open your TT Mod ArmyList.txt and search to see if the E_ARAB army is there?

cheers

Yes, I can see the Arab army list and other ones that are earlier than 600BC. Shall I delete the whole thing and re-download from scratch?

Yes, if the vanilla modules are working okay it is possible that your TT Mod download maybe corrupted, so it might be worth a try.

I have just been helping another player on the Steam Forums whose download had become corrupted, a different problem to yours, but he re-downloaded and everything seems to be fine now. As it is such a large download I suppose any small glitch in the connection could cause a problem.

Asking for a friend... will the TT Mod work for people who only have the base game?

Are the lists you can't use, because you don't have the appropriate DLC, filtered out?

I don't know how it works in game, do those parts of the game use the same army lists as available in other modes (so they benefit from any changes in the mod) or they have their own lists (so the mod would have to edit those too).

After installing as above you need to "select the module". By this I mean click on the small icon of 3 superimposed folders just to Right of the selection screen when starting a custom battle.

I'm very excited for the FOG:Empires. Paul any plans to work your reskinning magic on this too ?

Advice?
