quick update. i was able to get the game to MOSTLY WORK.
i went into the launcher folder and used the roma surrectum II application and could launch the game. i've ended up creating a shortcut to that as a copy it did not work
in my first attempt at a game it worked fine until i tried to manually resolve the second battle against Hanibles second army then it crashed. i repeated this 4 time loading a new game.
so i moved my RS3 folder from the C:drive to where the original Alexander game is and started a new game and it mostly worked.
so i played 3 turns manually fighting hanable and stack wiping him and his second army with few loses on turn 1.turn 2 i took Genoa thus wiping out Carthage from Italy.
MY MAIN problem is the game would not let my load or save, quick save and did not even save automatically on turn end so i'm rather angry
