    Thanks.
    There is a way to remove the user interface, but I'm not sure how. It involves modifying your files or something to that effect.

    However, you can always take a screenshot, and then delete the extra stuff.

    Do you have a scroll on your mouse? Use the scroll to zoom in and out. Or if you're using the RTS-setup, you can also use "R" and "F" to zoom-in and zoom-out. Those keys might be different, though, on other keyboards as I've noticed my version of the game has different hotkeys than most players.

    how to minimize the toolbar in real time battle:

    Go to your Rome/Data/Preferences folder, and open preferences.txt.
    Search for ''MINIMAL_UI:FALSE'' and change FALSE into TRUE

    There is a very good small program called UOSU that you can download here:

    http://www.uosu.com/

    With that program you can click on printscreen key as many times as you wish during the game play and the screens will be save under a designated folder.

    eyyy I've got a question that must have been asked many times before

    how do I off the big unit banners in the battle mode?

    I've got RTR and I offed those banners about a year ago but I cant remember exactly were I did that. I thought it was in preferences.txt but I cant find that file.

    Go into preferences text file, make sure it reads:

    SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE

    This removes the banners off the units.

    That's because I don't think the unit sizes can be changed, so you can have unlimited men on the battlefield i.e. many reinforcements all controlled by AI, but you can't command an army of more than 20 units.

    There is a way to change the unit sizes upward of 240, but it involves editing the files, and I'm completely inept at that. I don't think you can get 80000 men on the field anyway, though, but at least its closer.

    hi i play the vanilla version and did put the unit size on huge 160 is this correct and i changed the file to 240 but in if i start the imperial campaign it stays on 160 ? greetz:hmmm:

    160 men in a standard unit is the highest you can go. You will have to manually edit all units in export_descr_units.txt to have the same number of men as peasants (which have 240 on huge settings).

    No I don't think you can do so many. And actually, a legionary is just 1 soldier. The legion is the army that had abou 5500 men

    In theory (provided your computer can handle it) you can have nine full stacks on the battlefield = 9 * 20 * 240 = 43.200 men. You can use create_unit and move_character cheats to move your armies in such a fashion that 8 armies are surrounding the army that is being attacked.

    Default Just Re-Installed

    It's been years since I've played RTW, and today I re-installed. Apparently it is vista compatable.

    I remember reading somewhere about some way or another to unlock a nation, how do I do it? I wanna play as Carthage!

    Just finish a short campaign with one of the Roman factions. I did it with the Brutii and it didn't take too long(just a few hours). I bet the Julii would be pretty easy too.

    Also, there is a way too modify the game files before you even play, but I don't know how. (That's cheating though) I'm sure you can find it somewhere in this forum.

    Thanks, I looked it up shortly after I posted. Do I get a welcome back to RTW?

    Icon1 RTW patch sites needed!!!

    I'd really need the download sites of the official and WORKING RTW patches version 1.3 and 1.5 . (I need them for mods)

    I tried to google them, but I don't trust in just any site that comes up with the search. I wonder why these patches aren't downloadable from here.

    Could you plz link these sites!
