    It usually means an incorrect install either into a wrong folder or not having a vanilla RTW/BI.

    I think i managed to get it to work by going in to Steam and right-click on Rome Total War icon and choose - properties and changing how the .exe should start and put in -mod:SAI -show_err -nm -ne. And suddenly it started :S

    So now im playing 355 Campaign as Julian the Apostle, trying to unify the Empire and going back to the old ways again So it seems it works on a Steam install of Rome Total War also, at least for me, yay!

    I was aware of the classic: " mod:SAI -show_err "

    Now, I'd like to know what actually mean, at the end of the line, those: " -nm -ne " ?? What's its use???

    In any case, the line, even with " -nm -ne " works smoothly, I just don't see its utility.

    I don't know in how many ways concepts like "Genius" and "Sympathy" can be expressed, "Gäiten" is enough for me. So => +Megarep for Master Gäiten, with attached wedding offer!

    nm stands for No Movies. This disables the intro and any background videos which can decrease loading times. ne stands for running the game in Windowed Mode rather than full screen. This can make it easier and quicker to go back and forth from the game to their desktop.

    Thanks, the "-nm" thing was just a lost memory, now I remind it. The "-ne" windowed mode instead was just a suspect and a casual discovery after having launched the game in both ways , with and without the "-ne".
