Installation info video offered kindly by lionheartx10
Before you install please note!
*Warning1*
Rome: Total War is a quite old game available as a Steam Version, Non-Steam Version, as Sega or Activision game.
So this mod cannot be "mod-foldered", meaning that it will affect permanently your game installation and you will not be able to play "Vanilla" Multiplayer anymore. Furthermore, if you want to uninstall the mod, you will also have to re-install the game or repair it with Steam (via "Verify Integrity of Game Cache").
*Warning2*
It is advised that after you install DarthMod Rome you disable Steam's automatic updates for the game.
Installation Instructions for DarthMod Rome v9.0.1
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
1) Uninstall the previous version of the mod, any other mod and re-install the game or repair it via Steam
(not needed if your game is freshly installed or you have v9.0)
2) Follow the installer guidance
(it automatically finds the correct install path and warns you if it finds an error)
3) Play the game by using the official EXE
Installation Instructions for DarthMod Rome v9.0.1 (Alexander Addon)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Alexander is a separate expansion pack so this addon does not affect your RTW and BI campaigns but enhances only the Alexander expansion with DarthMod Gameplay and AI.
1) Uninstall any other mod you may use for Rome: Total War Alexander and re-install the game or repair it via Steam (not needed if your game is freshly installed or you have v9.0)
2) Follow the installer guidance

To add Barbarian Invasion Expansion support
3) Install Patch 1.6
Alexander expansion needs all the a.m patches before it is installed.
The Gold version of the game comes fully patched so no need to worry!

Hello great lord, first of all I would want to thank you for your most splendid work! - Creating the finest mods in history is not such an easy thing to do! And we are all very saddened by your retirement of modding, just so you know - your work will be amazed throughout the ages! :p
The thing is, the new version doesn't seem to work... it says at the title "DarthMod", but when I click the campaign I see only the Alexander campaign, I also tried the other versions but they don't work either. Is there something I missed?
Thank you for taking the time to read this on your busy schedule.

Are you running steam?
Do you have other mods installed?
Delete then reinstall fresh, the installer will point it automatically to the right location thanks to Lord Vader and his team of storm troopers

Re: Installation Instructions & Troubleshooting
Hello, I use Steam and have the mod correctly downloaded. However, when I click play Rome Total War a selection between the original game and Barbarian Invasion usually comes up, but with this mod it does not it simply redirects me right to the original game's campaigns. How do I launch Barbarian Invasion with this mod?

It is a known issue that Steam has with mods.
Just Restart Steam and, now, when you click the RTW Gold Shortcut you will be prompted to play BI.

Re: Installation Instructions & Troubleshooting
Mod has been great so far. But I have one problem: I cannot see named legions in base game RTW.
I looked around the forums and found that DM allows named legions in the base game just like BI has that feature. But I cannot recruit named First Cohorts at all. I searched in descr_regions.txt file in world/maps/base folder, and I noticed that legion names are missing.
So, does DM really allow named legions? Who spread that false rumour if it doesn't allow so? How can I make named legions?

The same happens to me: Iīve been playing Rome total war with your most recent mod version darthmod rome v9.0.1,
Ive began a Briton campaign twice, the campaign begins normally, I try to siege the closest German Village to my territories, the Village of Samarobriva, I comence the siege, and then german reinforcements arrive and attack me, when I try to go to the battle the loading screen appears, freezes for like 5 seconds and the game crashes, I uninstalled the mod, the complete Rome total war game, and re-downladed and re-instaled both.
The same error appeared on both attempts, I would like to know what could be causing it, cant say if itīs the same on every campaign but it has happened twice on different games.

Re: Installation Instructions & Troubleshooting
Amazing MOD!Thanks for all the work you have done with AI,unit balance and new faction units.
I have noticed that the Brutii Faction doesnt do anything while playing on the huge map that the mod adds.They just take Illyria and then keep their armies near Capua for the rest of the game.Is this common or am i the only one that has the problem?
Also are there any plans to add some more units to Germany,Scythia,Spain and Dacia?They dont have that many and some more would be welcome.
