awesome what about hosted modification forum?

Only TWC mods get them, and they must be here for some time and other stuff.
They have a french forum.

Cool mod Downloading.

[Legio]

How do you install? The readme is in French.:hmmm:

its in their forum
CATW Installation instructions :

CATW needs a fresh (unmodded) RTW 1.5. The BI 1.6 was not tested yet, but it is almost sure that it could also work, as soon as you mod only the RTW/data and not the RTW/BI folder...

1- Unzip catw where you want.
2- Make a copy of your "data" folder (ie. named "data2"). You could have then a "data" and a "data2" in the same directory.
3- Open the unzipped catw folder and copy-cut or drag in the content files your RTW folder, and confirm to replace everything. This would take a while.
4- Go to data/sounds/ and rename "events.dat" to "events1.dat". (CATW music).
5- Go to data/packs/ and rename "models_unit_texture.pak" to "models_unit_texture1.pak" (textures), and rename also "ui_1.pak".
7- You are in. Just use the new catw icon for your existing or then-created RTW.exe shortcut. You can add also a "-show_err" after your first .exe line ie. "C:\Program_files\Activision\ROME Total War\RomeTW.exe -show_err"
8- Have fun

10- To uninstall : Just suppress the "data" folder, and replace it by the renamed and saved original one.

I hope it will be a good mod. I had an headache to read that french!!!(I hate french!!!)

[cocobongoclub-DJ]

Aaaah what is impatience !
Yes, the french version was released a week ago, but there were still lots of bugs to fixes, so i postponed the international (english).
Since, i added 12 more units, corrected many bugs, balanced lots of units, and beginning to translate export_units to have english descriptions.
This last point is a huge job, so it's better to wait it's done to really enjoy this unofficial beta2a.
Remember that the real beta2, the official one, will be based on mundus magnus.
This will have at least 150 more units, mostly slaves and mercs, and up to 200 alternative skins, including HD.

Downloading now. Hegemonia french beta is in the forum as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeaaaaaahhh!!!!!!

[cocobongoclub-DJ]

Some news.
The english translations of export_units are always on the way, and well-documented (it could be compared to EB).
But more, the team began to completely overhaul vanilla's left units, with higher detail and historical accuracy. Bad new is that will cause more lagging, and catw will be far more heavyer than now.
As an example : Here is the new catw thorakitai argyraspidai :

[Mithril]

nice how about showing the skin

[Emperor Domitianus]

Thx for the translation in english people. Yes some skinning show would really good.

[sinople]

Hey you're making the french board famous arminius (cocobongoclub-DJ)

If you want help with the translation cocobongoclub-DJ, they're plenty of translators in the "Centre de traduction" sub forum for a few days

[cocobongoclub-DJ]

Thx stilgar,
But as TWC is like a babel tower, that would be useful if you have a link for me... And yes, i have mateer enough for at least ten translators within a week...

[Emperor Domitianus]

What I don't like of this mod is that (at least from the main) units are reskinned but no new model seems to be in. Am I wrong?
