***EODII LYCAN RISING RELEASED***

[The Bronze boy]

I havent been to much of a fan of rome mods, mainly cus they never work on my computer But hell Im willing to try again for this mod. I also got rid of Warcraft 3 that has been sitting on my computer for the past 4 years, guess thats a good thing mainly cus I thought this mod would be quite spacus...is it really 184mb?:hmmm: or am I downloading its patch?

[makanyane]

lol, no that is the mod size (compressed in the installer) - you need room for that DL, and at least 900MB spare for the install which includes copying over some information from the vanilla BI folder - sorry about that part but that's the way CA made BI modfolders work.....

the patch is only 2 files (less than 1MB) and you don't need that if you're downloading the latest 1.01 version.


Hope this one works for you, if you persistently have problems with mods do check you have correct patches on your RTW installation (1.6 on BI for this), some later issues of RTW and BI didn't actually come with the latest patches and it often catches people out!

....oh, now that you mention it I did get the same thing with Europa Barbarium and the firs Eod, yikes what else is there to delete Ive got some clearing to do, again

if you had an early version of EB on your install (and are still using same install) that might cause you problems with this, as early EB wasn't fully modfoldered, and BI and its mods still use some of RTW data folder content..... residue from other mods if they weren't mod-foldered might have same problem.

You might be better off completely uninstalling RTW and BI and then installing again from scratch. (If you have a working version of it you want to keep and have space, copy the entire RTW folder before de-installing, it will only de-install the files in the original folder, though you'll need to go through re-install process to get it to think RTW is an available program again)


Anyway before you try installing EoDII launch normal Barbarian Invasion game go into the Options menu and look for number in top right hand corner. If it says 1.4 you need to patch to 1.6 - patches are available from the support section at http://www.totalwar.com/

Really answome news

[Dayman]

This looks cool.

Well, if this mod is up to my epicurean standards, then I shall not be sleeping tonight.

[DaLeGiOnArY]

looks nice but...

does this install to it's own mod folder or does it overwrite BI?

[makanyane]

own mod-folder

with automated installer to copy the necessary bits of BI into mod-folder for you

absolutely no overwrites of vanilla

[DaLeGiOnArY]

A lot of the region names are made up, some come from ancient history, some from mythology. I didn't want anything to identifiable but a bit of familiarity doesn't hurt.

[Badg3r]

wow, this look brilliant, where can i find more mods that arn't add-ons of rome ect like this?

ahha, I now get to plug other mods in own mod forum :hmmm:

try our mod first then just to compare the also rans (God I'm going to suffer for that comment), for totally different from RTW mods, in BI hosted mods there is Fourth Age: TW, and Arthurian, on the Org site Blue Lotus (see our credits for address), on its own site Lord of the Rings - TW, and you shouldn't dismiss the Roman era mods either, many such as Europa Barbarorum, and Rome Total Realism aren't add ons at all but change nearly every aspect of game.

(sorry to everyone I forgot and for the 'also rans' )

[Drtad]

I just DLed this since I enjoyed the original EOD, and I have to say that you guys have outdone yourselves. This mod is just fantastic! I am definitely going to make an AAR for it at my earliest convenience.

The Talamasca campaign is some of the most fun I have had with RTW to date.

[Zephrelial]

A quick question.Is this the finalized version of the mod,or will there be a future update?

[Halie Satanus]

It's possible there will be a small fix patch at some point, nothing that will change the mod drastically, not from my side anyway( )..Downloads have been slow so I don't think we're going to rush anything...

[shortthor]

I usualy NEVER post on these forums, but I have to say this mod is probably the most creative mod I have ever played.(and I've tried most of them)I am not a "gamer", I only play Total war when I have a few minutes to spare,which is rare considering am a 39 year old father ,husband, school teacher, illustrater,2 car payment ,home mortgage drone.EOD II is a real work of art , and is just plain fun. I just installed EOD and played a few custom battles WOW, love it too.The real icing on the cake is the music, I would love to get hold of the tracks used on the first EOD.Asd the Robert E. Howard quotes are perfect. Thanks you

yeah the proposed small patch is only a very minor visual fix on a unit and some text typo corrections, what's holding that up is I want to look into some recent findings about improving auto-resolve results too (and I've not had time to do that properly yet) - none of those should break saved games so you can start a campaign without worrying you'll miss anything

@shortthor , thank you for the kind words

[ccc]

I downloaded the mod and did everything right but when i try to play it stops and says failed to initialize 3D audio can you please help me.

Thanks!

[Halie Satanus]

The real icing on the cake is the music, I would love to get hold of the tracks used on the first EOD

You already have them, go to your RTW/bi/ EOD/data/sounds/music, the Mp3's are in there..

the Robert E. Howard quotes are perfect

Credit goes to Mak and Wilddog for those..

Glad you like our work..

[Halie Satanus]

Doesn't sound like something wrong with the mod, is your version of RTW/BI patched to 1.6?, that would be my first guess...
