AqD's RTR Mod v2.5 has been released!


Installation:
The mod is now independent in its own mod-dir, and RTR is no longer needed. Old save-games are NOT compatible.
  1. Make sure you have installed Rome - Total War: Alexander
  2. Download the mod (RTR-AqD-2.5a.exe) from RapidShare or FileFront
  3. Extract the files to your RTW directory (ex: C:\....\Rome - Total War)
  4. Click on the RTR-AqD.exe in RTW directory to play!
  • Don't forget to click on the advisor in new campaign! And click on any of your settlements after loading a saved campaign to bring it up!
  • Keep multiple savegame and history! There is no mod-related bug, but the nasty siege CTD that bugs many mods may still happen like once a decade!! (sometimes you just can't take a settlement at a certain turn!)


Patches:
The patch contains "free people" revolt fix, model fixes, small adjustments on unit stats, and AI population bonus for barbarian factions (only for new campaign).
  1. Download the patch #2 (RTR-AqD-2.5a_fix2.exe) from RapidShare or FileFront
  2. Extract the files to your RTW directory (ex: C:\....\Rome - Total War), overriding 17 existing files and adding 2 new files
  3. Click on the RTR-AqD.exe to cleanup and play!


Major Changes:
(1) New unit rosters for Seleucid Empire (click for preview)

(2) New unit rosters for Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, part I: Bactrian-Greeks (click for preview)

(part II: Indo-Greeks and Sakas will be in next version)

(3) New mod launcher and loading screens:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


(4) "Free People" faction, new battle system, Parthian units, ...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
New Parthian units:


New map for potential Hellenistic military colonies:

Old Previews:
Kingdom of Armenia, Bosporan Kingdom, Kingdom of Parthia, Kingdom of Pontus

Screenshots:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
Here is the ahistorical recreation of the Battle of the Arius, fought between Seleucid Empire and Greco-Bactrian Kingdom in 210BCE. I made it for video but lags too much on my poor laptop!



The battle began with missile exchange between my horse archers and Seleucid "light cavalry":


Reinforced with the Agema, the seleucid cavalry force launched a foolish all-out charge to follow my HAs, away from their battle line


And soon trapped and slaughtered...


Meanwhile, the Bactrian line and Seleucid line clashed:


The dumb AI somehow learned Epaminondas' tricks....


And overwhelmed my left in a few minutes.. Damn my thorakitai are all cowards!


The center still holds, but not for long before those bloody Galatians.....


Before the line collapses, however, the enemy general was surrounded and killed. The sound of his screaming shakened the Seleucd troops and stopped my cowardly Bactrians from running away!


Now it's time for a counter attack, led by Bactrian royal guards and elite swordsmen:


Soon the Seleucid left was put to rout; only the Hypaspitai are still struggling:


A final charge by Bactrian hore archers and the end of battle!

1st point is no longer valid, since your minimod only needs to run two files from Alexander: chat_filter.san and RTW-ALX.EXE. Others are fully useless.
P.S. > Yes of course I know the only legal way to obtain these files is to buy Alexander

Nice one +rep
Wanted for:

I just downloaded the mod. The units are awesome! Thank you! I would just like to say the camera angle is a litle weird, something Im not accustomed to. I also noticed a little bug. The crest for the Seleucid faction chariot floats in the air.
