ah ok

So what's wrong with the the Greeks in 5.8? I've been playing a bit and I'm not sure what you mean by the Greeks being plain and boring.

He's talking about the appearance of the cities on the campaign map, for some reason in 5.8 the prometheus mod that makes them all pretty isn't working. It's got nothing to do with their roster.

Alright I figured out what is causing the problem. The Prometheus city models are installed in weird directory and the game cant find them. Here is how you fix it.

Copy all of the contents of the ...Rome - Total War\xgm\Data\models_strat\residences\xgm\Data\models_strat\residences folder into ...Rome - Total War\xgm\Data\models_strat\residences folder. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the files, click "yes to all". Then copy all the contents of the ...Rome - Total War\xgm\Data\models_strat\residences\xgm\Data\models_strat\residencesxgm folder and paste then in the ...Rome - Total War\xgm\Data\models_strat\residencesxgm folder. Again it will ask you if you want to overwrite the files click "yes to all".

If you find this confusing I have made an Installer which will fix the problem. Just aim the installation in the Rome - Total War folder which you have XGM installed.

Thanks for this - just to clarify which folder to aim the installer:

...\Rome-Total War

or

...\Rome-Total War\XGM

Thanks!

You need to install it in the Rome - Total War folder which you have XGM installed, not the xgm folder.

So for example like this.

C:\Program Files\Activsion\Rome - Total War\
