Iberia Total War Gold Edition is a mod for RTW 1.5 that focus on the Iberian peninsula during the roman period. It is a completely new release and you need only a clean RTW installation (not the previous version of ITW).


1. The structure
ITW Gold will be one of the largest mods for RTW and it will be released in two parts. It runs in a separate mod folder and you will be able to choose one of the two language versions, English or Spanish.
The first release, the mod, has more than 6500 files, for more than 800 MB size (once installed).
The second release will be the sound system with new music, new ambient sounds and new speaks in the ancient languages. It will be around 1 GB (once installed). We will speak about it in due course.

2. The factions
The mod contains 20 playable factions in battle mode (custom and multiplayer): two roman factions, carthaginians and numidians, greeks and italic tribes, two gallic factions, and 12 playable iberian tribes (cantabri, asturi, gallaeci, lusitani, celtiberians, vaccei, illergeti, edetani, carpetani, oretani, turdetanians, and bastetani).
Some examples of the new faction symbols:




3. The units
All the units have been re-designed from historical data.
ITW contains 245 cas models with 384 textures. Most of units are widely available in campaign, as they appear as auxilliary or mercenary units in the corresponding zones.

All factions have a set of officers (general, officer, musician, and standard). Here you have some examples:




These are examples of units in ITW Gold:

One non-combatant unit: the supply chariot


Regarding animations, SigniferOne animations for infantry are still used, and we are using Prometheus animations for cavalry (with slight modifications) and some new animations for musicians.

4. The battle system
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=83975
It has been completely changed from RTW system. Now the units are more resistant to death and the key point for victory is moral. In ancient battles the casualties were very limited and this has been tried to be imported to ITW. Projectile are less lethal, and they must be used wisely to reduce the enemy moral. The flaming projectile are specially useful for that, such as the falarica:

Formations are more difficult to mantain as the mass of soldiers has been made proportional to the light/heavy character of the unit.
Now massive battles are possible given that units are larger in number with very few exceptions.




5. The campaigns
The "classical" one imperial and four provincial campaigns are kept, with redesigned scripts that include now the 4tpy script.
The map has been re-texturized:
and all the models for generals, captains and fleet are new.


In the provincial campaigns, missions are issued to the human player, with the corresponding rewards and consecuences.

6. Sound System

7. News horses

What's the purpose of the supply chariot?

I had some problem to download but what I had seen and then was allowed to play was really very nice !

[KoldPhire]

Is this mod Vista compatible?

I only ask because EB is not, which is unfortunate. I really would like to try this mod however most major mods for RTW are not Vista compatible.

[Monkwarrior]

No idea. :hmmm:
Any Vista user can answer this question?

[I Am Herenow]

Is this mod Vista compatible?

I only ask because EB is not, which is unfortunate.

Yes it is :hmmm:- just make sure to turn UAC off and install RTW (and then consequently EB) outside C:\Program Files\ and you'll be fine.
