RS1.5b Patch Released!!

DOWNLOAD RS - Patch1.5b HERE

Here's what in the pot at the end of the rainbow.

Things in the patch:

All bugs from bug/ctd thread have been fixed except for the Roman family bug*
7th culture system implemented, so the Sarmatians are now part of the Nomad culture
New traits/ancillaries associated with the new culture (i.e. Hates/Fears Nomad traits, Nomad TurnCoat, etc.)
Diplomats can now bribe spies and assassins
A few trait/ancillary fixes which include a change to the triggers for temples to make temples more reasonable, especially for those temples (like fun) that were atrocious before
Switched the epithets "the Great" and "the Mighty", so now if you get legendary conqueror you will be hailed as XXX the Great.
Good/Bad Infantry and Cavalry Traits are now available to all factions
Added new "Information and House Rules" building to prevent a CTD
Miscellaneous other fixes
Removed all references to obsolete units in export_descr_advice.txt (should hopefully remove the last of the annoying "carthagininan peltast" issues)
Added forced diplomacy mod to installer
Custom location file was fixed, and new custom location for the wonders have been added
All units now have all sounds
A few minor map tweaks, and starting position changes for the gauls and egyptians
RS1.5b has been made fully compatible with the alex.exe, and if the alex exe is in the directory installed to, an RS w Alex shortcut will be generated on the desktop.
An attempt was made to help with MP by including pregenerated map.rwm files, this is untested, but we hope it helps

Best of all this shoul be 100% save game compatible, though some of the features/changes (e.g. the info building) won't show up until you start a new campaign.

*The roman family members that didn't change bodyguards after the reforms have been left that way since if they are made to change bodyguards, all family members, generals, governors, pro-consuls, etc will also change their bodyguards to the post marian family member bodyguard.

In at the death (or life?).

Do we have to start a new campaign for this to take effect? Sorry but this is the first Mod I have played. Anything special you have to do besides download and install?

Sorry, I missed the last line, answered my own questions....sorry for my ignorance.

I don't have Alexander but I have BI. Also unfortunetly my dad uninstalled it on my old comp and it won't read the disk on my new one or old. *Contintues crying in corner*

Could you not install RTW BI on your new PC (if it's already got RTW on it). You can play RS with RTW BI and it will only need the RTW BI disc to play.

I wish I could start a new campaign. I'll have to finish the Romans or Parthians first....

EDIT: A question. Has this patch been fully tested in advance? Or are we your unofficial beta for the patch?

It's been undergoing rigorous testing for the last 3+ weeks.

Updated the first post to include the bit for MP, as mentioned there MP is untested but this patch includes map.rwm files which will hopefully help with getting MP working consistently.
