Taking on BI again.

[mercja]

Ok guys I have been away from this part of the forum for a while. I am about to reinstall BI again so in order to implement atilla's IFBG, is there a certian order and which of the other mods does it include (so I will not have to download twice)?

[Ramon Gonzales y Garcia]

after clean BI, IBFG 5.0 is enough, this will ALSO include SkyMod, Darths Fixes, a few more things...

Thanks Ramon, I'm going to give it a go today, do you know of any more add ons that make the game more interesting?

I already added skymod, and darth's formations, will be adding SigniferOne's animations, check this one out: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=44843

easily done, open up "preferences.txt" in "...\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\preferences" look for this line:

MINIMAL_UI:TRUE  change to FALSE

Yes i did.Seems i forgot to install latest patch me noob.Installed patch,reimstalled mod and fix for it.Works just fine.

Also...i have asked u this before.Has been some time since i played..how do i change units to 1 turn in game production.I will leave hunters and spearmen/militia to 0 turn.

great!
to change to 1 turn, open "export_descr_unit.txt" with notepad (found in ...\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data) replace "stat_cost 0" with "stat_cost 1", use Ctrl+H to be faster.

Awsome..thanks Ramon..keep up the great mod...

Edit: Oh... ctrl+H works great.I didnt know about that little trick.Just want to put peasants and spearman militia to 0.Gesithas will be like 3 turns.Have to balance it.Oh and if i change ending date beyond 500,will i mess up the game?

I doubt you'd mess it up but the 4tpy only reaches to 400, if u want to make it longer be my guest
