RS2.5 Beta Released:

[century x]

Just a quick question. I was sieging Genoa with Carthage in their and when I started the siege there was only 1100 men in their. When I clicked the end turn their garrison jumped up to 3300.

AM I missing something here or is their a hidden garrison script which I missed reading about?

There is now a garrison script in RS2. Correct.

Hmmmmmm I see. Thank you

This will slow does my conquest, Interesting

[Curmudgeon]

Great job with the new version. Many thanks.
I am playing a Spartan campaign and have a general who married one of my daughters at age 32. He seems still to be in the agoge, not having the trait for completing it. Perhaps this means that he failed. I kept him in the field for a while just to make sure, but no change. No problem at all, of course.
Anyway, thanks again. The new traits & ancillary system is very impressive.

There should be 3 0-turn and 3 1-turn but I don't recall off-hand which is which.

[LegionaireX]

Until all the bugs and fixes are done I assume, thats what a public beta is there for.

Haha yeah this surprised me as well...it was hell taking Syracuse lol. I defeated a moderate sized army outside the city, their survivors retreated inside. Then, using my remaining movement points, I besieged Syra.,queuing up a few towers before ending the turn. The next turn...AH! Their garrison was reenforced! Oh well I beat them any ways in a long, bloody, annoying, city fight.

Yay, the city is mine...wait... AHHH!!! There's a full stack outside with 1/4 of it Royal hoplites!

I panic ferry in a legion from up north and just barely manage to beat them (unlike Wisconsin eh?) with a bunch of depleted troops as they laid siege to Akragas.

When I install 2.5 I can't start the launcher for some reason.

When I install 2.5 I can't start the launcher for some reason.

A bit more info would be nice.

What is happening exactly? Any error message?
What OS are you using?
Are you using a shortcut?

[Captain Frye]

I have /launcher/Roma Surrectum II as a path in the RS2 shortcut, but Roma Surrectum II.exe it not there and thats why it won't let me start the launcher.
I am using Vista.

[Paedric]

What is your install path?
The easiest thing to do would be to go to your install, in the launcher folder.
Try launching Roma Surrectum II.exe, it it works, simply do a new shortcut by right clicking on the exe.

[Captain Frye]

C:\Rome - Total War\launcher\Roma Surrectum II.exe - This is my launcher shortcut path
Probably Roma Surrectum II.exe deleted itself after installing 2.5 for some weird reason. Now I picked up the exe file from 2.0 folder and pasted it in my launcher folder. Now everything works BUT I can't start the new campaign with Capua and Massalia and so on. Problem still unsovled to me.

P.S. Ptolemaois IV Age is still wrong. He is 24, although he must be 27(if 536 AUC is 217 B.C.?)

[Paedric]

Here is the exe.
