Sicilia: Released

[General Strabon]

Nice work. I always love a kind of "regionalism" in TW.

[Halie Satanus]

Me too, big mods are all well and good but there's nothing like a good ruck with your neighbors.

[General Strabon]

Yeah, neighbors first.

i have recently downloaded Sicilia but it is not working for me. i uninstalled all my RTW mods and the orginal then re-installed them to try and see if it would work. so i re-installed Sicilia under "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\Sicilia" and linked the short cut to it but it will not play Sicilia if i click on it. The original works fine so does BI. any ideas on wat im doing wrong?

[Halie Satanus]

Welcome to TWC..

Do you get any error msg? If you haven't set your target line to receive err msg do so.

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err

The most likely problem is your RTW not being patched to 1.5. Run RTW and check the top right corner of the splash screen.

how do i install the patch exactly do i just copy the whole folder into Sicilia/data?

[Halie Satanus]

Yes.

Im new to total war so im not sure about this stuff but if I download this mod will it replace one of my total war games or will it make a whole new game?

[debux]

Well, it's modfoldered, so it technically is a whole new game, but you still can play "normal" RTW whenever you want. When a mod is modfoldered, it means that all it's files are kept apart from the vanilla (unmodded) RTW, so it's like having two different games in one!

[Halie Satanus]

It is technically a whole new game and as Debux said won't alter your original game at all.

The RTW files have regional campaigns included but as far as I know they were never finished. If I recall correctly 'Ceaser in Gaul' was one. Sicilia was created as one such campaign, I wanted to do others but never really had the time. 'Spartacus' would have been another I really wanted to do..

Just remembered Hannibal Smith is making a 'Caesar In Gaul ' mod.. Which should be good..

FRRE campaigns are similar and very good..

Im not a member of megaupload is there any other place I can download this from?

[Halie Satanus]

In the first post, click on where it says Mirror..

With Mega up load you only need to wait for the counter to reach zero then you can DL it without being a member (takes about a minute) .. .. .



Please note of you have Vista or Wnidows 7 you need to turn off the UAC..

That's an issue pretty much all mods have as installers are blocked, it's pretty simple to though..

Also note that if you have one of those OS you'll need to direct the installer to where you have RTW installed and not the automatic option. And alter the path for the exec accordingly..

i can't recruit elephants in campaign, is this supposed to happen???

[Halie Satanus]

As Carthage I presume..

I think they are only available in a couple of regions.. Check the building browser for the settlements in N. Africa

[A Demented Goldfish]

ok, can't recruit diplomats either

[Halie Satanus]

I may have removed diplomats since a three faction mod has little need for them, the objective being to rule Sicilia with the point of a very sharp sword.

[SakyaIllidan]

Nice units for Romans

[Halie Satanus]

Glad you like them..

Hm, I can't see any N. Africa settlements at all. It's only Sicily and S. Italy on map.
Another thing is: is it possible to train Vasilikoi Somatophylakes as Syracuse (there are few of them at the start) ?

[Halie Satanus]

You're right N.Africa isn't in the mod.. !

Vasilikoi Somatophylakes; I honestly can't remember, I checked the files and I can't see anything to suggest they are available other than as a bodyguard unit.
