***EODII LYCAN RISING RELEASED***

[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

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..

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( )

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

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]

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...

[edders]

Downloading this now...looks awesome - I absolutely loved EOD so I'm looking forward to this

Quick question before I launch into it - do you guys have any projects lined up for Med 2?

[Halie Satanus]

I don't, (can't run MTW2 on my comp) but Mak is working on this..

I'm working on the 300' mod..for Alexander..

Hope you enjoy EODII..

[ccc]

Yes i have 1.6 on BI and 1.5 on normal

[Halie Satanus]

Hmm, well if your vanilla game works then it must be a corrupt download, unlikely as that is I can't think of any other reason, it works for everyone else.

Do you have any other mods installed?

All I can suggest is DL'ing it again.

Sorry.

[makanyane]

@ccc

sorry you are having problems, this isn't something we've come across before, as Halie said maybe try downloading again, anyway definitely try running the installer again (that can't hurt anything) if you're still getting same error try changing the audio settings in your normal games options, the type of 'sound provider' it might be you are on something unusual so have found a problem we've not encountered yet....

[Arthum]

Wow, this is an extremely fun mod,I can't believe I waited so long to try it out.

This is really, really great work.

[Halie Satanus]

Your happy, We're happy.

[Elric von Rabenfels]

I have to congratulate you for making the most unique Rome mod that has been created. I've tried out sooo many Rome mods, but this one, is truly unique. No other mod gets near it, and no, not even the Lotr mod.

Your mod is something really special
Congratulations ^^

PS:
Halie's admin badge gone? Hmmm... I wonder why :hmmm:

[Halie Satanus]

Aww, you'll make me blush...Thank you..

Halie's admin badge gone? Hmmm... I wonder why

My time is better spent watching Pocoyo,

[Elric von Rabenfels]

My time is better spent watching Pocoyo

Now that's something I can understand
And no need to blush, it's a well deserved praise!

I'm itching to play this, but how do you actually get the mod to run? There's no separate start-up, and when I launch BI it's just the normal game. Do I need to launch normal, unexpanded Rome or what?

[makanyane]

It should have created a new desktop shortcut for you (black wolfish shape on square red background) if it didn't you could either try running the installer again, or making your own second shortcut to the BI.exe.

If you make own shortcut you need to add
-show_err -nm -mod:bi/eod2
to the properties line, with a space before the first -
the -mod:bi/eod2 bit is the important bit that makes it run the mod instead of original game, but the other bits are advisable.

[Ged]

Oh right, cheers. My desktop is modified to like an Apple one, so I can't see desktop icons. Thanks for telling me +rep for the mod

[RZZZA]

great mod, im having fun, but the bad diplomacy that plagues the Total War games is kind of spoiling it for me.

As one of the vampyre factions im having trouble making the soul eater faction my protectorate, they only have a handful of provinces and im offering several cities along with hundreds of thousands of gold, they keep rejecting.... any pro-tips?

[Halie Satanus]

Diplomacy is a wash out yeh. Assuming your playing as the Rahala(?) annihilate the Soul eaters and secure the south, the Severin have a habit of expanding that way before launching an invasion of your homelands.
