can not find a Roman unit preview?

[gary]

hello every one.. After playing most of RTW mods a year or so ago..i bought M2TW and have been playing Broken Creasant for some time now.......But you know i so miss the roman era, and well, i going to go buy RTW/BI.
I am an avid reader of History and at the moment reading Roman Warfare by Adrian Goldsworthy.. just one of many books i have read in this era,though i have a degree in fine art, i love History.
Having looked through most of the mod forums for RTW i have come across this mod... i have not seen or herd of your mod before...sorry.... when i was playing RTW two or so years ago i played SPQR.Any way i think i would love to plunge my self back in to the frey by playing your mod.
i would love to see a preview of some of the roman uints as i have not been able to see them on the forum? But i have to say i am quite excited about going back to play rome again.....Arhhhh happy days..late nights....and a bottle of wine

There is no Roman preview as for now, it is being made right now.
There is still much work that has to be done before the preview being release.
Skinning alot of units, unit cards, AOR placements and much more.

As for all of you and even a team member like me this is the far most exiting faction,
the one that should be the crown, the final special touch that make RS2 being the best of the best.

I can tell you that one thing is for sure, after seing the new units made by Tone,
the new shields made by Paco and weapons made by Burniator you should not be disappointed.
They will really scare you as a non roman player.

I hope this will please you for now, and a little tip, until Rs2 play so much Rs1,5a as you can.

and the legions - thread from long time ago so the early imperial / republican units are no longer the ones we are using:

i dont think you should preview the romans, for 2 reasons :

1. it may cause severe psychosis and cause us to wet ourself because we know rs 2.0 is nearly here.

or 2. i really do think it will spoil the awesome surprise!

[tone]

Sure...we certainly won't be previewing the RS2 Romans until they're all done and we're gearing up towards release.

[Burninator]

Hehe, we might give you a peek... at a toe......

[gary]

Thanks!! Every thing looks so detailed... I am going to by it today...Arrr i can play the invation of Britain all over again.

Once i have down loaded the game and any patches.... then i will be able to play? I did one or two images have a look.

If you have installed the game and patched it to 1.5 then you download rs 1.5 and then you install that and make sure to direct it to the right place. And if that works out then you're basicly ready to play .

[tone]

Great sketches.

[gary]

Thanks... Ah if you can direct me too the patches i need for RTW as i will be buying the two games in one BI/RTW, which is i think patched to 1.3? it has been so long sine i was on the RTW forums, so if any one can like send me a link to the patch .it will save me so much time... Thanks.........
See you all on the field of Mars... do not be late....

[tone]

If it's Gold Edition it'll be patched to 1.5 already.

[Phalanx300]

Wow, awesome sketches. Now to turn you to the Spartan side so you can draw Spartan sketches .

[gary]

Ive just come in from town with a copy of RTW/RTWAlexsander/BI They are all on the same disc.what is this patched too?as i only want to install the RTW from the disc?Ah there not all on one disc they come in one box but gave there own disc

I have the game patched to 1.3... so now am dl the 1.5 patch? this is right? then install?

[rory o'kane]

Alex would probably be patched to 1.6 - RS works with that, as far as i know...

Oh, and by the way, the sketches are excellent.

[tone]

Apparently using Alex gives you the best AI.

[gary]

I have just installed the RTW+ BI. and the 1.5.patch now going to install 1.6..patch but looking in my game folder i can not see the Preference folder? i am using vista not sure if that has any thing to do with it?

preferences doesnt show up until you load up the game and start a game or change the options or something, not 100% sure.
Also if you're using vista, you will have to press a button called "compatibility files" which brings up a load of files that you cant see before like preferences. Dont know why, damn vista

[Phalanx300]

I don't know how to fix it but it probably is vista . But the mod should just work fine though as I also have vista and it works fine .

[gary]

Yeah it is working fine though it has put two short cuts on my dt looking at it one is for BI i think though i have it BI installed i will not use that? I love the look of this mod fantastic amazing have not forced a battle yet.

[Phalanx300]

Well, this mod is made for the original Rome total war so it will use that one . Btw, never knew Romans had those wings on their head .
