I got exactly same problem. I also used France as same as Saadhabib mentioned. I will try other faction to see what will happen.

I just recently started playing Rome Total War and decided to download this mod. It had been running very well for about two days, but today when I started up the game and tried loading my saved game, the game has been crashing every time the loading completes. I've tried rebooting my PC several times but to no avail. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix this?

[TOLAROscipii]

could you add an historical battle to RM2

something like whats in this video

[TOLAROscipii]

i didn't know you could add more land to the campaign map
until i downloaded EB
that was the first mod i downloaded

and i see you added the Americas

how much land could you add?

if you kept everything like it is in RM2
could you add china and japan to what you already have
or maybe all of Africa
even the rest of the Americas

or how about this
create a new mod for m2tw

but make it like rtw

could you transfer the rtw map to to m2tw
transfer the units
the city's
and every thing else to make it look like rtw
don't change the graphics

then from there add as much land to the campaign map
if you kept the graphics the same as they are in rtw i don't see why you wouldn't be able
to add a map of the whole world to the M2TW campaign map

I'm no mapper, but I believe there is maximum size for a map, something like 510 land tiles.

[TOLAROscipii]

510 land tiles?
for RTW
M2TW
or both?

how many does RM2 use

i think EB stretches farther east
how much does it use

[TOLAROscipii]

Lord Of The Knights?

how small would you have to make the world to fit on 510 land tiles
and could you do it and still make the game fun


you would probably have to make the territories smaller

is there any way that you could get the game to zoom in closer making the map look bigger but use no more than 510 land tiles and have the whole world

maybe you could use the map from civ4

now that would be a good game
civ4 and RTW

everything in civ4 would be the same except the battles

civ4 map with rtw battles "BRILLIANT"

i feel like a genius

now if there was only someone who could defy gaming law


wait a second anyone who could make m2tw work on rtw
is defying gaming law

you aren't getting away that easily

if anyone could do this you can



OH AND IF YOU THINK I'M SUCKING UP

Hi my friend,it seems you have a huge number of nice ideas.
RM2 is still a base for the main mod,in july i with RM Team will start a huge hard work on a new RM version.
the territories are very small now,i cant make them smaller,but i still can make the whole map larger (but that is limited too).
in RTW there are many limits,the top number of regions in 200,there are many limits on units and factions in the game.
dont think a lot about making M2TW work in RTW or RTW work in M2TW,thats is useless and nearly impossible because they are using different engines,why you want to run RTW in M2TW (with same RTW graphics and units,map) while you can play the oiginal RTW?
civ4? you mean civilisations IV? nice game,i can do a similar map,civ4 map contains small number of regions.

RTW engine is very confussing,there are many many limits not like M2TW engine,see this:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ght=RTW+limits

but I did my best to create a strong base (RM2) for the the Full Mod and i think i succeeded.

PS- sorry,im extremely busy for the three next months (may,april and june) so i will not be able to reply fast.

[TOLAROscipii]

no need to apologize
your replies are fast

[SaadHabib]

In the Custom Campaign's High Medieval Age, I was playing a campaign with Scotland. After around 10 turns the game crashed.

[TOLAROscipii]

you said to delete all the map.rwm
i forgot to read that and continued with my campaign

should i re add the fixes then start a new campaign
or can i just delete all the map.rwm
then start a new campaign without re adding the fixes

RM2 Hotfix No.1 and RM2 Hotfix No.2
the files in the folder look the same
whats the difference

[Lord Of The Knights]

Hi,the two fixes are not completely the same,RM2 Hotfix No.2 contains RM2 Hotfix No.1 and No.2 added some missed textures.so the latest Fix cotains all the previous Fixes.

you dont need to reinstall the fix again,just delete map.rwm.

[TOLAROscipii]

i wanted to add intro videos to each faction
could i
and how

i played a game as Sicily
i attacked rome
held my the Germans
as the battle started
the general gave a speech
and said we were attacking the senate

i wanted to change the speeches the generals give to match the opponent
can i
and how

[TOLAROscipii]

if i wanted to change

######### >>> greek_cities <<<>>> BYZANTINE <<< #########
to
######### >>> greek_cities <<<>>> EAST_ROMANS <<< #########
would it mess the game up

or if i wanted to change all the country's to

DS_AT_WAR = 600
would it mess the game up

[Lord Of The Knights]

######### >>> greek_cities <<<>>> BYZANTINE <<< #########
to
######### >>> greek_cities <<<>>> EAST_ROMANS <<< #########
this will not change anything in the game.you want to rename the Byzantine Empire to Eastern Roman Empire?

DS_AT_WAR = 600,this one is OK.

[TOLAROscipii]

yes how can i change
Byzantine Empire to Eastern Roman Empire

[JuliiR-O-R]

i got a problem when i try to play RM it loads and than it says animation artilery not exist or something like this sometimes says dscr_battle_fog
pls help

[Lord Of The Knights]

Hi JuliiR-O-R,you installed RM2 in the wrong place,you need to install it in your game directory.

TOLAROscipii,you can change any texts in the game from Text folder in Data,you can change factions names from expanded_bi.txt.
Note:you have to go to RomeMedievalMod/Data/Text if you want to change RM texts.

[TOLAROscipii]

thanks
Lord Of The Knights
i changed the byzantine empire to the roman empire
then i opened up all the other text
and changed anything that said byzantine to roman


now how about those other texts
one of the churches has the word gods when it should be god
and a lot of other things in the texts refer to the gods when it should be god
i didn't know the English prayed to the gods of mt olympos
and a few other small things
when added up become big things

oh and when i was playing the English
and i was at war with the Scottish
i had all my troops in Scottish territory
when the rebels decided to attack one of my city's
so i clicked the rebels to see what i was up against
and there where 3 groups of peasants
and a fourth group that looked like peasants
only these peasants didn't have pitchforks they had daggers
and the descriptions said unlocalized displacement text
or something like that
so i sent about 6 groups of peasants
this is all i could spare
the battle started
i charged the enemy
but before my peasants even touched the enemy
they routed
because
the peasants who's descriptions said unlocalized displacement text
where not peasants at all
they where heavy calvary
and i lost the battle
i lost the city
i sent more troops to retake the city
and i did
but the absent of those troops i sent
really hurt me in Scotland
i lost many battles in scotland
and within 12 turns
the game was over
all because of one
unlocalized displacement text
or maybe it said localized displacement text
not really sure
but i think you get my point

all that said
this is still the best mod

[Lord Of The Knights]

Hi,i can see that you are really enjoying the Mod,even those bugs are funny.
your soldiers lied to you and told you that the rebel troops are peasants!!,i think they recieved much money for that.
about the texts,i didnt fix them yet,RM2 is stil a beta.

anyway,dont worry,the thing doesn't worth!!!!

[Ragnos]

The 'grey peasant' picture means there isn't a unit card for that unit, so before starting a battle check exactly what your up against. As far as I know, 'unlocalised placement text' refers to a unit of rebel Armored Cavalry, there could be more unlocalised placement texts but I haven't found any who aren't Armored Cavalry.
