    Default The Black Sea? (it's a sort of pun)

    Yeah. After I fight a battle, when I come back to the campaign map, all the seas and rivers (apart from a bit around the north-west corner of the map) are black.

    Do you know what this is? I foolishly thought that installing RTR would fix it somehow, but this isn't the case. Any ideas?

    Did you cheat to show the map any time during the game? This in my game turns the water textures black. Just restart R:TW.

    Thanks, but it'll be a real ***** to restart it after ever battle...

    Ah well. I've dealt with it for months now, just grit those teeth.

    Edit: Wow, fairly strict censor we've got here.

    thats the only way i ever get black water. it's really not that big of a deal once you get used to it, the water just changes to oil and and prevents the war on iraq from ever happeneing and keeps gas prices down to a low low $0.59/gallon :laughing:

    Obviously, that's one of the finer things in life.

    You can:

    1. Take the cheat down.
    or just live with it.

    Which cheat is this? I don't recall ever using a cheat of any kind...

    Pay no attention to these fools!


    I have literally had the exact same problem with my Rome Total War and Total Realism

    It is NOT a cheat or install problem, do NOT reinstall (it helps nothing)

    It's most likely a graphic problem due to our like-minded graphics cards. However it is not debilitating.

    If you want to fix it, you could try using "toggle_fow" but that would reveal the entire map to you, so if you don't want to, run the game in fullscreen mode (rather than windowed) and keep another window open so you can Alt+Tab out. This resets the problem
