Help with Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jen]

Hey,

My name is Jennifer and I am a history student in college and I am using Rome Total War for one of my projects on Roman history. However, some of the units are too fanstasy alike, as many of you have mentioned, so I am trying to download the EB mod to improve on the appearance of the some of the units.

But here is where the problem kicks, I think I need to download the 1.3 patch for Rome in order to install the mod to the game, but...I cannt, I have Vista home premium on a Vaio laptop and everytime I try to install the patch, the install shield fails.

I tried everything and downloaded the patch like 20 billion times and ran anti-virus over and over again, its a brand new laptop so I don't think its the problem with the computer and I search everywhere until I found this forum, so please HELP me install the patch and finish this project.

THANKS!!!!!

You'll probably get more help here in the EB sub-forum - moved.

I`m not sure if this applies to your problem, but take a look:

Florin's link identifies the most common problem with Vista and patches, the suggestions should work.

However for EB 1.0, I believe the FAQ says 1.5:

Good luck with your project.

Yes,
@Jennifer, you need to install RTW that is patched with 1,3 patch and then patched with 1,5 patch and only then install EB 10 (the current version). And after that you need all of the official fixes (you can find those in another EB subfourm thread ''Tehnical one'')

Well, after all, you may even become addicted to EB like the rest of us
