That MOD just enables some BI functionality in RTW. It is not a BI conversion.

no i want the RTW campain in BI

Thats a hell of a lot of work to do, replacing all the units, redoing all the factions. I doubt anyone will do it.

oh ok has anyone

RTR 7 will be the original RTW timeframe but for BI. But it will not be out for a few months yet I think.

rtwmadman - create a shortcut to the BI.exe and open up the prefernces. Change the target to
path name\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:RTW.

Just start this up and it will create a new diretory at the same level as the .exe file called RTW containing your preferences and any saved games.

With nothing else this will default and use everything from RTW Data directory ie will run RTW on version 1.6

To amend further set up a data directory within RTW (eg think of RTW being the same as the BI folder) and add into this directory the path etc or the file(s) you want to amend. The game will then use everyhtign in this directory first or default to the original RTW data folder if it can't find.

To use features in the campaign game you will need to amend the strat file to include the options Bi as shown in the equivalent file for the barbarian invasion (look at the line staright after the campaign name).

Hope that helps - Alpaca told me how to do it.

doing this way do u get hordes and relgion and stuff

You would need to edit the sm faction file and the export units file to set up hording correctly.
eg look at the BI equivalent and amend a faction and then create the units with the hording attribute.

Once I've finished my BI campaign I intend to start to create a RTW version with hordes - but its unlikely to be a vanilla based package.

Not sure about the religion side.
