Need Help to Start!

[The4lex]

Hey all!
Sorry for this post ,
But i loved the videos i saw of this Mod and ofcourse, i want to start play it!
But i need a hand! I have these questions :
I need Barbarian Invasion to play Rome: Total Realism?
I can play it without barbarian invasion?
Its because i had played a mod and i need to have the barbarian to play on it, what happens is , barbarian have better graphics, that make my pc very slow... But this happens to this mod?...
I have a p4 2.6, with 1GB memory and a nvidia fx 5200 128MB, (I know my pc sucks, but is what i have so , i can play this mod? without or with barbarian?
Sorry for this "noob" questions!
And sorry for my bad english ;X
Thanks all!

You can play RTR PE with only RTW but it needs to be patched up to version 1.5.

In order to play RTR VII The Iberian Conflict you will need RTW BI.

The following post (RTR PE has it's own sub-forum) has lots of details to hepl you start;

Hello!

As Brusilov said, you can play with RTW: (Patched to 1.5. Then DL the RTR: PE, etc cick his link )

I also have an older computer and this Mod runs very smooth. I did alot of customizations on the graphics but it worked. I had to sacrifice some beauty to get the battles I wanted though ... see, I HAD to have Huge units so I turned down the sexy ... now my soldier's legs end in little pins!

But my battles are very epic

You can try the unofficial optimized driver for nvidia => http://www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia.php I installed it last week and the performance is much better in RTW. RomeTW-ALX.exe can boost the general speed too and it works fine with RTRPE 1.9. TIC may not work though, since ALX lacks some of BI's new features

Also the BI.exe isn't any slower than the original RTW, check your video settings and make sure grass is turned off.

Here are my settings, FX6200 + 256mb vram: large unit scale, medium unit details (look as same as high) and medium effects, shader is on, all other options are off or lowest, and max 1440x900 resolution. I also set high-performance option in nvidia config and have safe_refresh=off in RTW's preferences\preferences.txt. The configuration works very smoothly even with 2-3 full stack armies on battle field.

YTIC may not work though, since ALX lacks some of BI's new features

TIC will work with Alex.exe (with slight modifications) though the RTR VII Grand Campaign wont due to the usage of horde feature (not used un TIC).

.... and the performance is much better in RTW. RomeTW-ALX.exe can boost the general speed too .

Can you please describe the procedure, how can I alter the exes.?

I have RTW 1.5 but I also have Alex..

Same principle. Anyway after (if) the patch for TIC is out I'm planning to upload updated files for Alex.exe (plus some add-ons) but it will not be an official part of the mod though as RTR VII will strictly be on BI 1.6 base.
