Not for me. It was made by Dick for his mod BARBARIANS REVENGE II: TO THE LAST SEA! many years ago. I only take it (and some other units) and use it in my mod.

Never mind.

Loving the new units.I had a CTD when i wanted to try a custom battle with Carthage against Numidia.I can't understand why the CTD exists.I'm using the 4 gb patcher too.Most likely a wrong installation by me, because the errorless CTD'S continue.

Unfirtunately im not sure for the installation either, my friend.Better wait for Macedonec, i don't want to do any mistakes.

@crazyroman I get the video by using the RTW EXE and the game all looks like vanilla. With only the 3 Roman factions. Is this mod suppose to look like vanilla.

You can try the "hard way" installation. What units do you use in custom?
As for me i think than it is bug with exe file.

C:\\Games\Rome Total War Copy 2

It should look like this:
"C:\Games\Rome Total War Copy 2\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -mod:ME

With only the 3 Roman factions. Is this mod suppose to look like vanilla.

Yes, ME is vanilla style mod with 3 roman factions. But i think you can see the difference.

**GROB** · January 15, 2019, 09:24 AM

So far I am impress. I like the video and the the way you did with the menue. It looks great. Thanks Macedonec and your team.

Vanilla style design does not mean vanilla style gameplay.

crazyroman
I'm glad you were able to install mod.

**crazyroman** · January 16, 2019, 07:02 AM

Macedonec
With a little help from Lanjane of course !

**GROB** · January 17, 2019, 06:57 PM

What year does the Marian Reforms occur? Im in my 148BC with the Romans.

**crazyroman** · January 18, 2019, 12:04 AM

They occur when you build an Imperial Palace in Italy.

**Macedonec** · January 18, 2019, 12:14 AM

GROB
For the mariah reform roman factions needs three imperial palaces. it is a script of the original game (vanila).

148BC

Do you use a four turn system script?

Activation of the four turns system is performed after you load the game. Click F1 button, there appears Help roll, press "?" and after the adviser appears, click "Show how" button. Remember to do it every time you load the saved game.
