I do not think this is possible.

Change the shortcut to use RomeTW-ALX.exe, and add the "-noalexander" parameter.
Copy the file alexander\Data\chat_filter.san to RTRPE\Data
Immortal trait fix:
Quote:
Just put the lines before all other traits in RTRPE\data\export_descr_character_traits.txt
Code:
Trait Immortal
Characters family
Hidden

Level Immortal
Description Immortal_desc
EffectsDescription Immortal_effects_desc
Threshold 1

To enable naval invasions for all factions, open RTRPE\data\descr_sm_factions.txt and set all "prefers_naval_invasions ... no" lines to "yes"

Does this work really? Should I sticky it?

It have worked in all RTW1.5/1.6-mods I have tried. Although tigger_t forgot to mention you must also include file named "chatfiler.san"(copy from Alexander folder).

Here is a link:

you quite correct sorry bout that.

sorry, I don't really get it. Isn't there an easy way? (like with "extended greek mod", where you can choose to use alx.exe when installing)

EDIT: Now I understand it.
It works like a charm!

Sticky it if you like (as it adds more DarthAI-toughness...)

Can you explain what you did to get it to work? Trigger's instructions appear to be for RTR-PE, and the link Athenogoras posted is for Alex-EB.

Did you just edit the RTW Vanilla shortcut, or the Alexander shortcut?

It makes the game hang up alot. So I wouldn't really recommend it...

Sorry I do not have link,it is in tutorials via Florin's thread. It works depending on if Mod you use is mod foldered or not,as use diff data to work it. I have TE Gold-modfoldered working fine,but chat_filter.. mandatory for it..and game does not hang at all for me. I change the target line in shortcut to ("C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:terrae_expugnandae -show_err -nm -noalexander),as example.

Darth I think best check with Florin as he more professional in this than I. He has a tutorial running.
