Okay forgive me for the possibly stupid question - But how is this intended for a game that isn't released yet?

Also, why is it not available for the original ToW 2? Would it just take too much time to make the changes for the original as well as the expansion?

I was actually holding off installing this because i was hoping the Churchill would be added in the next update.

But if we have to wait for Centauro before this patch works then i'll have to wait even longer. I prefer to finish the game "as is" before trying out mods.

All that aside, thanks for continuing with this project :) Really aren't enough mods out there for this great game.

EDIT - Um, i could of sworn there was a big post regarding the latest 1.3 version update? Was i imagining it?...

Well i'm glad my mind wasn't playing tricks on me - Still a bit confused as to how the mod was made for Centauro, thought maybe a few people were lucky enough to already have a copy. :P

Good to know the mod is ready for when it does get released though.

Thanks for posting the update for the original game St Andrey, will have to check this out tonight. :)

Thanks for the mod, but there seems some unnecessary confusion. The file available for download at the link specified says "BALANCE MOD ver.1.3 (for Centauro only)"... so we can't use it now unless we have Centauro? Or is that just a remnant of the old file's description? Has anyone tried installing "balance13.exe" anyway over TOW2 patch 1.3.0 to see what happens? Thanks for any info.

Just enter the code from picture into the field above the green button and click the button.

Thanks Sneaksie, I have download the balancemod file and load in my game and it works, I can find and use the new tanks in the order of battle of any single mission and play it.

But I don't understand because I cannot find the new tanks (Matilda, Chuchill, Stug etc.) in the mission-campaign editor.

Maybe, there are files to edit o to make configuration.

P.S. I have ToW2 ver. 1.3.0. and balanemod129.

I cant download it. When I enter the code Iam redirected to a new page and in the middle stands "balance_mod129.exe ", but nothing happens. Tried it with Firefox and with IE.

In the new page, it shoud you prompt (in string in upper side of the page) to install a new item "YandexBarIESetup". After installation close all windows and start again.

You have balance_mod129.exe?? Please, could you (or anybody who has it) be so kind as to re-upload it somewhere (rapidshare, megaupload, filefront, etc.) as I have been attempting to get this file for several days now with no luck. Thanks!

Are you saying that people need to install "YandexBar" to download the mod?? I'm sorry but if that's the case then forget it, there's no way I'm doing that.

1.Click on the link.

2.Put the numeric code given in the box.

3.Click the green "Скачать " button.

4.Uncheck this box - has a little martini looking glass next to it.

Установить Яндекс.Бар.

С Яндекс.Баром вам не понадобится вводить контрольные цифры при скачивании файла. Устанавливая и используя данное ПО, вы соглашаетесь с условиями Лицензионного соглашения.

Хотите скачивать файлы еще быстрее?

Установите Firefox или Internet Explorer c новым Яндекс.Баром, и вам не понадобится вводить контрольные цифры.

5.Then click on the link "http://narod.ru/disk/13480073000/balance_mod129.exe.html" that is right above it.

6.Save to your computer

7.Open file and run.

That worked for me!

I dont read russian but i am not sure where you guys are getting this spyware install thing from. If you follow the instructs that I posted you will just download the file. Extract the file and all that is in it is the files you need for the balance mod. There is no .exe file for spyware included????

This is what will install if you do not check the box as I instructed above. So just uncheck and you are golden.

To establish a Yandex. A bar.

About a Yandex. A bar you do not need to enter estimated figures at uploading a file. Establishing and using given ON, you agree with conditions

this is probably a moot point just for you. I can download the file just fine. I will look into putting it up on the REPOSITORY. This will eliminate all the problems.

edit:

Look to the Repository if you need it. I uploaded. Hope it works for you.

Oops, sorry. I just checked my HOSTS file and narod.ru was in there! ahem :D Strange though, I was sure I had downloaded a file from there once before, oh well, my mistake. Thanks very much for uploading the mod. Excellent job! :)
