Don't be so quick, you've got to get two towns (I think Montreal and Quebec) but check on the missions (big cup logo).

I had the same issue that when I captured the first town I got a message that I could move on etc., but you've still got to get the second.
 
Another thing, anyone else notice issues running in widescreen? It seems to me that lot of the messages in the campaign map are just stretched (smudged text) and the circular map on the UI is also the wrong aspect ratio.

Also for Naval batals, I think everything except the UI is stretched, certainly the compass at the top is oval not circular. Can't seem to find a widescreen settings anywhere
 
I've sorta paused playing this untill the next few patches come out, I'm loving the game it's just too anoying right now...

Fort battle AI is screwed, it's just pointless when your guys simply stand right next to an enemy and do nothing. I jsut end up setting melee mode and charing everyone in. Or naval bording AI keeps on getting stuck and never boards, jsut sits and takes a pounding.

Add to that the campaign map stutter and crashing when merging fleets it's just too much... Hopefully solved soon.
 
Is there some way to get a ship to attack a friendly ship without starting a war. Didn't there used to be buccaneers or privateers I'm not sure which is which, but it didn't always end in war. I think they had to share the loot with the crown.

I am getting to that point as well. I am about 50 turns in and the campaign map is lagging which is ******* me off. Not to mention I can not even capture Berlin. Every time I do so the game crashes when I end the turn of try and view the diplomacy screen.
 
My game keeps crashing in battles in multiplayer every now and then. Problems and solutions in vista tells me that the faulting module is MSVCR80.dll

I think this is meant to be in the game folder but it is missing?

Reinstalling now by downloading from steam in the hope the file will be there.. :(

Curious, I havent been having any crashes and I dont actually have that file anywhere on my PC , let alone in the Empire folder :confused:
 
God knows then. Found other people on steam forums with the issue. When I searched online for the term on google it came up with pirate versions of the game and that file was part of the download. Not going down that route as I have a legit version but it's definitely part of it surely.
 
How bizarre, wonder why I dont have the file on my machine. No matter I suppose, everythings working so I guess I should be pleased about that rather than puzzling why I dont have the file :)
 
Maybe it isn't needed - I'm only going off web speculation, part of me is glad other people have the issue (normally in battles). Perhaps because running latest nvidia drivers. Who knows.
 
Ah, I'm not running the latest nvidias, I am on 182.06. Havent had a single crash yet, although my Empire is heavily modded so for all I know I have accidently negated a primary cause of it, or maybe I am just lucky :D

The missions were blank. I restarted Ep II, took the fort and the town (in that order - did the opposite first time round) and the next section opened up. Must've been a bug.
 
cant seem to get into this as much as M2:TW, battles just arnt as good with just guns, the forts/cities are just crap, campaigne map is sluggish, more complicated and just doesnt seem as fun at all.

Naval battles are impressive though.
 
Hiya, I need someone's help! I am playing as the Brits and have got that mission from the 13 colonies and want to complete it ASAP to start developing the Eastern side of the US. The only problem... I can't find New France anywhere! I am sure I am being a numpty and it's right in front of me, but can anyone give me some directions? I have defeated the natives in Georgia and Cherokee, so it's just NF remaining. Thanks!
 
AHA! Thanks. That's annoying... I thought the three areas to complete the mission were all close together and all owned by minor states... it would seem that New France is owned by France (funnily enough).

Ah well, I was going to start on them sooner or later :)
