Спойлер (раскрыть)

• Copy all files from Github repository (unzip files) into your Empire Total War directory and overwrite. (the empire_start_wali_mach.bat file should be in the same directory as your Empire.exe file, ie: C:\Program Files (x86)\Empire Total War)
  
• Add mod packs to your "C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts\user.empire_script.txt" file. ie:mod mach_battle_chronicler.pack; (each mod pack name should be on its own line)
  
• Run with empire_start_wali_mach.bat file. (this will start WALI and Empire Total War; and monitor if Empire.exe is running and kill WALI when Empire.exe closes)

Thank you.

I do plan to have a collection of mods. Nothing else near completion just yet. Ideas are most welcome. I can help respond if any ideas are capable within the Warscape Lua framework (not everything is possible).

There is mechanic which allows to capture enemy’s cannons after victory in Shogun 2. Is it possible to make like this in Empire? You can capture ships in Empire. Maybe something based on that could be done?

For example, if player won the battle decisively and AI army had some amount of guns in the stack during it, the palyer will get some artillery pieces (with some probability) after the completion. Like an extra unit award after battle.

This is a great idea. I think that would be a good mod.
