RS II: Questions & Answers

**The Turk** · August 04, 2011, 10:09 AM

Actually something which I never did do was patch RTW or BI, but I don't think I had any problems with the game. So is patching really necessary?
Also I put it into C\Games\Rome - Total War ; and I no longer recieve any error messages!

Thanks Guys!

It sounds like you may have bloom effects enabled. It should be on the launcher make sure you don't have it enabled.

How come on some campaigns there will be borders surrounding your territories on the minimap and in others there wont be any borders?

**rory o'kane** · August 06, 2011, 03:43 PM

The profile picture suits the question.

It's because some people have turned the borders on (there's a file somewhere in the RS2 folders), whereas the default is no borders.

And a new problem!

When I start a roman campain i can control all my cities etc. very well, but when I try to start i fight game crashes every time. I haven't tried playing with other factions so i don't know if the problem is only with romans, but i'd still like to know how to fix it.

I've got some annoying problem. Before battle begins I normaly set my units in formations, but when battle begins and my soldiers march on enemy, they starting to set in one single line formation. What may be the cause? I always activated script, it's add me 1 denarii.

**Ybbon** · August 11, 2011, 07:35 AM

Are you grouping them and how do you move them? If you try and move them individually it can be a problem, if you move the groups it should work cleanly, if you can take a screenshot that will help.

**Demon Soul** · August 11, 2011, 07:47 AM

I'm always grouping my units (infantry, cav, e.c.). I just give them order to move foward and when they stop, they starting forming one line. I'm playing now new campaign, previously I was playing as Rome and all was working fine. I'll try make some screens later.

I tried to reinstall rsII to fix the problem i got (Battles don't work.), but for some reason folder models_vegetation couldn't be found. Could this be the reason why the game don't work as it should and where i could find the models_vegetation folder?

How are you editing it? all you need is a simple text editor such as notepad, but what changes are you trying to make?

How do I improve my cities income? And why does the armies income don't seem fix? I ask this because of the large amount of unkeep that some of my cities have even when they have only 2 units and governor.
