275 B.C.: Road To Messina-
The First Punic War

275 B.C. After the battle of Beneventum, and the following departure of Pyrrhus of Epirus, southern Italy is now under control of a weak and loose confederation of the Samnites, the Bruttians and some Greek Cities, with Tarent being the strongest of them. It should be easy for the romans to conquer the whole peninsula within a short time. But: This might be a provocation for the mightiest power of the western Mediterranean: CARTHAGE!

Looking really good Mr. Robot...ah Costanzo... Downloading +rep

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

And I thought pumping out 2 units a day was a lot of work. You pump out mods weekly

+ rep!

[Sonny Costanzo]

Thank you guys! Enjoy the mod and please report bugs and give feedback!

Hi
Great mod like a mini roma surrectum just as good though
one bug of sorts i think is that in the campaign you cant access the console so you cant do toggle_fow or other commands might just be my PC or a bug

check the descr_shortcuts.txt in your vanilla rtw and manually change ingame (275 B.C.) in options to the same key...

It works for me now.

[Sonny Costanzo]

Glad to hear that, mate!

[Die Waz]

You need to ask for a hosted forum for all your mods again, Bro!

[debux]

Wow! You loove making mods, you looove making mods...

[Randompigeon]

Thanks for the console help it works know

doing a bit of nit picking are the generals meant to have a full cavalry unit (54 men) instead of the usual 24 of vanilla?
Also the movement range means that it takes 3-4 turns to besiege Athens from Larissa perhaps increasing the movements points like i have done on my own game makes it quicker to reach everywhere.
Again being a bit nit picky

Edit: small bug the Macedonian bronze shields seem to be ghosts with helmets and shields , they got no body

[Sonny Costanzo]

noted, thanks!

[Randompigeon]

Found another small error but i suspect it's my PC so any advice on how to fix it i very welcome.
Once every so often in the campaign when i play a battle it loads half way then ctd ( the sound repeats for 1 second before it happens ) how could i solve this?

[debux]

Is it the same battle always that you get that CTD? Or maybe with the same army? Has it happened to you a lot lately, causing you to use the autosave feature?

[Randompigeon]

Not the same battle but ATM Ive only had it against the Greek city states also they only happen when my army is attacked but after the ctd if i load up RTW again i can play the battle then a few more later it causes another ctd and the cycle repeats.
Don't really use the autoresolve cause i just do the above reload RTW and try again


Edit: yes it is with the same army i just had another one

[debux]

I meant autosave, not autoresolve autosave (the thing that saves games automatically for you, after ending a turn) is known for corrupting and messing up campaigns, and might be the reason behind your apparently random CTD's.

[Randompigeon]

I meant that

Yeah sounds like a good idea, thats pretty much the solution as i relized before each battle i saved so yeh thats probably what is messing it up

thanks any rate

p.s. Spartans are beast in this, it took 10 milita hoplites to beat one but they also disappear when you zoom out

Thanks for reporting Randompigeon!
