RTR VII Download Mirrors and Installation Guide

[molnibalage]

I have a problem. After installing the RTRVII the luancher does not work. I have RTW Anthology, it is installed to C:\Games\RTW-Anthology. After installation the RTR created C:\Games\RTW-Anthology\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\ directory.

What did I wrong?

Thx.

Ok, problem solved, game is running by a strange way. Is it normal that 4 season are displayed with only two type of icon. An icon can be the same for two turns.
Sorry for lame questiona but I did not played RTW with any mods since ~2006.

No problem mate. The four-turn-per-year script has been used to make the campaign more accurate from a realistic point of view, for we can't give armies more movement points due to some systems which would then stop working.

There's only a summer and a winter icon, though, which is why you'll see a 'summer' season of two turns and a 'winter' one of two turns.

I have a problem with the patch 1a link. It doesn't allow me to download. All I get is this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

No webpage was found for the web address: http://media1.gamefront.com/guploads...cc56fcf4bd8945
Error 6 (net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.

btw, I'm using Google Chrome and I've also tried on Firefox and IE but it doesn't work on both

Did you try the new Speedy Share mirror I uploaded in the download thread?

I'm sorry about this Mauritis, but I honestly don't know what my system info is and what I'm doing wrong

Thanks for the new link. It works!

Ok, I'll try to figure it out for you. Could you go to your 'Rome Total War' folder and make a screenshot of that complete page? When you upload it here we might be able to figure out the correct launch path.

[molnibalage]

Just one more question. Is there a manual that help to find infos about military units and buildings? After ~6 years absence maybe I'm the lame, but enemy kicks my ass in vh/vh difficulty settings. I even forget how can it be that a leader with management skill can strongly decrease the income of my city. Di I have to relearn the whole game?

[Maurits]

It might be good to check the feature highlights, which explain a lot about the things RTR VII changed. Besides that, I'd advise to play at M/M

Feature Highlights

[molnibalage]

What does it mean M/M?

Can you kill the leader of enemy in the first battle? I attacked with ~100 cavarly with the only survivor but the leader did not die...

[Maurits]

Medium/Medium difficulty settings. The first battle is supposed to be very hard, and a real challenge. The enemy generals will be difficult to kill, the best thing you can do is to attack them with spearmen or your own generals bodyguard.

Regardless wher I install the RTR VII I got the same picture with launcher.

Thx. It works.

Hey Mauritis, I don't really know how to take a screenshot, (I looked it up but nothing helped) so here is the info. it has on the top.
Computer > Local Disk (:C) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Rome Total War Gold
That's all I could do hope it helps.

[Maurits]

When you direct the installer to that exact location and replace the ''>'' by ''/'' it should install

[SuperAwesome]

Thanks Mauritis, it worked
One quick question, how do you install fate of empires?

[Maurits]

Same way, if I'm right, but then you should add mod:FOE instead of mod:RTRVII to the Steam launch line

[SuperAwesome]

It didn't work
Do I have to install something seperate?
Also, now when I start a campaign, the advisor says "Script start." Then i cant build anyhting, or recruit anything.
What should I do?

[Maurits]

When the script starts, you'll have to wait for a moment and then the opening battles will start. After that, you'll be able to play the game.

As for FOE, that's not included in RTR VII but a separate download. You can find it in the 'download's' sticky

[SuperAwesome]

Alright do I install FOE just like the main mod or do I have to do something special?
