If you want Mundus Magnus already modded, try Terrae Expungandae mod for one. It is based on the Mundus Magnus map.

hello, my two laptop mouse buttons broke, so I can't use the right click in game. I tried to bind it to some other key but there wasn't one in the rtw options. is this a fail from the CA or i'm just blind? I need help asap.

Have a look in the descr_shortcuts.txt file which is in the data\text folder - there may be something in there.

I'd suggest investing in a new mouse though. I hate using the touchpad on my laptop.

Hello.

What means an add in the shortcut "-ne" and where I can read more about all adds like this?

With respect, good4eL.

The add "-ne" makes it so the game starts in a windowed mode instead of full screen and if you want to find out more about command line switches go to this link from RTW haven http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/mods/...ne/index.shtml

Hi, you do not know why I have lag on the campaign map in RTW? Never happened to me in any TW game. I have the latest drivers, I play it without any problems even though I have a high AA, I tried it and off and other settings, but I still lags. The latest TW games I have ever problems. I thought that's modes, but it is not. Please advice. thanks

Age of the game has a lot to do with it. It's almost ten years old.

**kubo4747** · January 02, 2013, 05:36 PM

I dont understand... This can be solved somehow?

**irishron** · January 02, 2013, 06:07 PM

Play it in gamer's mode, low resolution and none or next to noe eyecandy, and the game still has its moments.
It uses core of your cpu, it's pure 32bit code with a 4gb ceiling including graphics, sound, etc., and everything including the proverbial kitchen sink goes through that one core. The graphics chip/card does not even see it to display it until after this fact. This is why the game could get by played on some oldie integrated chips, albeit on low, because less stress.
Got an i7 third generation overclocked to a stable 5GHz? It may even lag on it if you love great graphics.

This is not fair.

The campaign map lag (if it's only on campaign map and not on battle map) sometimes
can be caused by the mouse - especially wireless ones like to do that.

If you get the chance of trying another mouse of another brand (preferabely a wired one) - give it a go and see if that helps.

I have classic mouse.

**Chris Death** · January 08, 2013, 01:29 AM

If you get a chance without spending money i'd still give it a try.

I had the campaign map lag once because of a wireless one but i've seen
others having had the problem with wired ones too.

Hi all,

I have picked up playing RTW again, and I installed the 1.5 patch..
Im currently busy with my Brutii campaign and Ive almost reached the victory conditions, I only need 2 more regions left
But, I want to take the whole map, I cant edit the descr_win_conditions map though..

The error is in Dutch so Im not sure you guys get this, the translation is:
Cant make the file C:/Program Files/ etc etc\descr_win_conditions.txt

Control if the right path and the right filename have been entered.

The ''read only'' option is OFF and according to the file details I (as administrator) should be allowed to edit these files..

Ive had the same problem with the playable factions file but I just let that one rest since I wanted to start with Brutii anyway.
I tried to find a solution for this but most of the posts on forums etc are very old and I can not find anyone with the same problem.

Some advice please?
Thanks _0_

@Joekai - that almost sonds like it has something to do with where the game is installed. Windows treats the 'program files' folders as protected and won't let some files be modified. Some files will be in the 'appdata' or 'virtual store' if they are modified.

One thing that I do with all games is to install them to a folder away from the program files folders (with Windows 64 bit systems there are two of them). I created a 'c:\games' folder and installed everything there.
