Recognising Units

[andreajayne]

Hi

New girl here - yes we femmes play this game too!

Anyway I am playing RTR Gold with latest Imperator and Metropolis mods. It's good but in battles all the units, mine and those of the enemy all look the same. The banners on the units on the battlefield seem to have disappeared since modding with Imp and Met. Can I get them back? Othwerwise it is just a mass of bodies all over the place and nothing can be recognised!

Hope you can help

You`re definately an exception and this is indeed very beautiful... never knew somebody like you exists . Well... it happens in the vanilla too, not just in RTR, I don't think it happens in all battles and on all units but I got no serious idea why this happens. Just check preferences\preferences.txt make sure you have this "SHOW_BANNERS:TRUE" and not "SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE", those who made the stuff you're playing might have changed this ... else... don't have ideas. Ask the one who made Imperator&Metropolis if you can't solve the problem.

Farewell,
Arbaces.

Hi

Thanks - but I am not sure we are talking about the same thing here. What I mean is that in the battles themselves there used to be little flags atop each unit. Now these flags are gone having installed Imp and Met latest mods. So now all the units are just a mass of people and all the colours seem to blend into one. Gone are the little coloured flags above each unit, the ones that used to bob up and down when you clicked on them. Does this make more sense?

He is talking about the same thing, im guessing the mods edit the preference files to disable the flags, just do what arbaces said and you will get them back.

In plain old English:

Go into your windows explorer and go into the file directory were you installed the mod:

Ex:
Program files/Activision/Rome Total War/Data/Preferences.txt open preferences.txt scroll down the list and find Show_Banners:FALSE change the FALSE to TRUE save and exit. You don't need to restart a new game.

Cheers and welcome to the forums.

Thank you - that seems to have done it for me!

And more than likely ask for your phone # as well provided you're of legal age... j/k

We've actually got at least 4 female players to my knowledge, one of whom is key to our development of 7.0.

Definately come by the .Org though or even hop on IRC and chat if you're up to it...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, the reason is the preference text which I included in the Imperator mod for quick game set up. It's only for added difficulty I guess.

I also would like to add that there's a small bug in the Imperator + Metro mod which an AOR unit of germania is recruitable in one of Italian AOR city. It's no life threathening but it's quite funny.

See the thread here : German AOR unit in Arrentium ?
