Just wanted to let you know about my reported issue with missing trade routes in the other bug thread - seems if you add the grain import to the queue and use the process_cq cheat, it erases all trade routes for that city. So, nothing to worry about and easily fixed .

Good to hear that..

[RedFox]

On another good note. It seems this thread is awfully quiet, meaning the v1.20 Full release was a complete success! Though, I must admit, a more cynical view on the situation would mean nobody even downloaded it. I was never that much of a pessimist though...

Playing with Epirus is too hard lol.

[TheMacchiavelli]

There seems to be an CTD every time I play the Pyrrhic wars campaign, every time after I finish the battle of Asculum I get kicked out. Never tried as the Romans though.

[Spartan 666]

I moved your post to this thread to keep bug reports together in one thread.

Anyway, I will investigate on it. Does the game crash only after you play it or also if you autoresolve it? And which engine are you playing with? RTW\BI\ALX?


Edited by RedFox: It seems that, perhaps we will need to form a bug report sheet that gives enough information to solve the issue.

Alright, so i played the last version on steam with a little trouble but I figured it out basicly making the dtw .exe the launch address in steam

But with 1.2 the old address doesnt work and there is no exe, only a shortcut nor could i find instructions to get it running

what I am thinking is that there is something to do with dtw being mod foldered

If someone could help me out that would be great

[Spartan 666]

There shouldn't be any difference between the last version and 1.2. Have you tried the suggestions in the FAQs? Neither me or RedFox have ever used a Steam version, so we had no change to properly test what to do.

I just downloaded this mod, I have original RTW, not Barbarian Invasion or Alexander, I downloaded it and then unzipped it, but how do I run it? (I unzipped it in just a new file I made on my hard drive because I didn't know where else to put it)

[RedFox]

This is an installer, not a self-extracting archive. Run it instead of extracting the contents.

[HorseArcher146]

Thank you!

I was playing Imperial Campaign as Rome, and I besieged Croton, the next turn I assaulted it and my game crashed. RTW engine

[Spartan 666]

When did it crash? Before, during or after the battle? Please be more precise..

[HorseArcher146]

It crashed right after I hit the assault button it crashed, didn't go to the loading screen or anything

[Spartan 666]

@ TheMacchiavelli: I tested the battle and it works both with Rome and with Epirus. It's very likely to be a classic RTW post-battle crash.

@ HorseArcher: tried and played with no troubles. Do you remember which units you and the besieged army had?

[HorseArcher146]

It was the army that fought at the Battle of Asculum, if that's the first battle as Rome, the only difference was I had a different general, and maybe one or two new skirmishers
Oh and the army was completely retrained

Of the besieging army I do not remember... It was a bunch of hoplites and a general... and maybe some type of missal unit.. but I cant remember EXACTLY what they had and how much they had of it....

[Spartan 666]

Well it was just to know if it involved any of the AoR units introduced in this release. But I think that's not the case, it's likely to be a random ctd. Have you tried to play it again?

[ramzito]

Congrats for this mod! I am really looking forward to playing it!
I have one issue though.
I started a Pyrrhic wars campaign with the Greek cities and I cannot save. Is this normal?

[HorseArcher146]

@ Spartan 666 No, I forgot to save the campaign before the battle And after I play a campaign and lose it to a crash, it demoralizes me for a while, so it'll be a while before I'm going to play as
Rome again. Though I am doing a Dacia campaign... AND luckily before I went to war with Thrace for the second time.. I saved it... So now I didn't lose everything when it crashed taking there one of there cities.. And I doubt it was the mod.. RTW randomly crashes alot ... I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the mod.
