Imperator II v2.1 Full
Before installing Imperator, you must make sure you have RTW and BI installed (playable) and patch to v1.6
To make sure you have the correct installation you must rub BI game (using BI shortcut on desktop) and after the splash screen and intro, click on option and make sure 1.6 is written on the top right corner of the screen. If it's written 1.4 then go and download patch 1.6 from CA / SEGA support site. Thgis is the only way to make sure you have the right version opf the game, no matter what the box tells you what version the game is patched to.
Once everything is set, run the Imperator II v1.8 installer. I made a slight mistake in the main installer where the default target line will probably say C:\Program Files\Imperator II (or something.... ). Use the browse function of the installer to change the directory of the game to your default RTW-BI installation.
Example:
A) You have old RTW (3 cds) from Activision and BI from SEGA. Your installation should be tagrgetted to this:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
Not
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Imperator II
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\Imperator II
.. or any other target line, except that you have you game installed in D drive, not C drive (which is the usual default) then your game should be in
D:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
B) If your RTW-BI game is the newer RTW Gold version (cd or dvd) then your target line should probably be like this:
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War
Or
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Rome - Total War
Not
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\bi\
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\Imperator II
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\bi\Imperator II
.. or any other target line, except that you have you game installed in D drive, not C drive (which is the usual default) then your game should be in
D:\Program Files\ActivisionThe Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War
