TTW 4.50 modfolder edition (Most up-to-date version)

[madrush]

I installed this but some how I can get an icon or find a way to activate this thing....FYI Im using windows XP

[Prince Nuada]

confirmed that this will not overwrite any vanilla files

Hmm...then I need to figure out what's going on, because every time I install this, my other mods quit working.

Am I the only person who thinks that the hero units are a bit too overpowered

[Nicodemus]

I agree, but there again, they are heroes, what else can we expect !

They are generally the elite unit from the faction with better defence and mental stats

For example Mycenae has this

type myc generals bodyguard
dictionary myc_generals_bodyguard
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Medium_1
soldier myc_elite_spear, 15, 0, 1.1
mount_effect horse +2, chariot +4, camel +2, elephant +2
attributes sea_faring, can_swim, general_unit
formation 1.2, 1.2, 2.4, 2.4, 4, square, shield_wall
stat_health 1, 1
stat_pri 17, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, spear, 0 ,0.1
stat_pri_attr spear, spear_bonus_8, ap
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 20, 15, 9, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 1, leather
stat_heat 5
stat_ground 1, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental 18, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 100
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 4, 650, 310, 70, 100, 700
ownership empire_west

So you could change a couple of things

ie stat_mental 15, normal, trained

would mean that they don't resist so long

or stat_pri_armour 14, 10, 9, metal

reduces their defence....

@J-Plague: There are two download links available. If one doesn't work, you should try the other one. Hopefully that helps
@Madrush: The installer should've placed a new shortcut on your desktop, from which you can launch the game. It's got its own icon and is called Troy. Is it there?

[MaximusDM]

Hey, I hope I'm doing everything right- I got it to run, but after clicking the campaign it tells me I must choose something from the list, and the campaign doesn't go past choosing troops- after hitting the arrow it goes back to factions.

Please help.

[madrush]

Ok I reistalled the whole game over again in a different file and NOW its worken thanks man

[J-Plague]

Whenever i try to install, it installs, but no modfolder shows up where i directed it, and the troy shortcut starts RTR, even thought the location of the shortcut goes to ""C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -mod:TTW"
I don't even get how RTR is able to run off the RTW-BI exe file when it's all in my RTW vanilla folders? I know

did you try reinstalling it? and some times the folder would be called "The Creative Assembly", try saving the files in there and not in the RTW-BI folder. Hey it worked for me maybe you?:hmmm:

[Nero666]

I suspect that you're using Vista, as am I. In that case you should right-click->run as adminstrator, else the installer just skips everything.
Also, the normal RTR is not modfoldered as far as I know (RTRPE is, I think). That means it is not compatible with ROP and you should have a separate installation to install modfoldered mods to (ROP, EB, FATW, etc, etc).

[madrush]

no no Im using XP because my opinion for vista is that it has WAY to many bugs.
Back to the point, I had to reinstall the game only once cuz I did know where to put the files, I figured that since most my mods work 1 folder in "The Creative Assembley" that this mod/game would work the same as well and it does.

[Nero666]

Vista is not that buggy, it just has some annoying features (like asking for permission for file changes twice or three times if you're lucky ).
Back to the point: actually my previous message was meant for J-Plague - should've mentioned that, sorry

[Spartan198]

Slightly off topic here, but...

That's a good thing, IMO. Increased security isn't a bug. If I want a file change to occur, I see nothing wrong with confirming it a couple of times.

It's XP I could never figure out how to do anything on.

[madrush]

eeehhhh but still, still very buggy

[Dracula]

Screens ?

[Nero666]

Nope increased security is very good, but I'd rather see it to be more linux-like where you have to fill in a password to change system files. That's safer and less annoying than clicking twice or three times, and finding out afterwards that you don't have enough user rights to store anything there in the first place - which happens often when I'm modding game files directly in the program files directory, for instance.

I could show some screens, but it's pretty much exactly the same as the official TTW 4.0 + 4.50 releases combined. Will see if I can make the first post somewhat more attractive

[kingtaso]

Just to ask. I know it's the root of Rome where you must install the game. Is the root of Rome this one: Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War.

No it's where Rome is at present. I usually don't put it in C/Pr Files/Activision/RTW. But if you put it there than there you go.
