Everything installed and is working smoothly except the option to save is grayed out. Started a few different campaigns but same result.

That usually occurs when you reload a savegame, or restart a campaign without first stopping the script. You can either close the game altogether and restart it, or you can stop the script ingame (by pressing Esc and clicking on the ? in the Menu Box) and then reload a save game (don't forget to restart the script by clicking on one of your settlements.)

I can't click on anything, be it cities or units! Why is that?

The game is beautiful but -- When I try to save, it tells me that it "can not save file to disk" and will not let me save. I have closed the game and then restarted, play a few turns of new campaign and then try to save and this is what happens. I'm pretty sure that I am doing as you say with the script but I will keep trying. However if you can think of anything else please advise. Thanks

Have you reloaded a savegame or quicksave just prior to this happening?

No, I have not even been able to save. When I type in a name for campaign in the save menu and click on save or I use "control-S" I get "Save failed - unable to create save file on disk".

I have the game installed on my "E" drive where I have RTW - BI installed so my path is something like "E/program files/creative assembly/RTW-BI. Do you think it's cause the game can't find the right place to save? (want's to save in "C" drive by default).
Although, I have FOE in the same location and don't recall having this problem.

Sounds strange, try restarting the game

what were your install order?

**ramzito** · September 02, 2011, 05:14 AM

Gold edition
Alexander expansion
RTR VII
RTR VII hotfix

**MasterOfThessus** · September 02, 2011, 05:27 AM

Reinstall and remove the alexander expansion, that is nut supported by RTR VII. And make sure your BI is 1.6

The RTRVII Installer is highly compressed and, therefore, can take quite a while to operate on PC's which aren't that fast. I've got a fast machine (i7-965) and it takes over five minutes on mine! Try giving it some time to operate.

There are several duplicates of mercenary units in southern iberia. Playing Carthage. And for some reason I cannot select individual unit cards...

EDIT: Restarting game fixed it.

**~~Tony83~~** · September 02, 2011, 06:39 AM

if you see duplicate mercenary units available, check their cost and experience levels - you get what you pay for.

Well this is just wrong, go work to do, got RS2.2 beta testing to do and now I find another great mod to try out. Too few hours in the day, so not fair.

I think the opening Battle of Heraklea intro to the Epirotes is bugged. Pyrrhos seems to march down but runs out of movement points to reach the proper battle area. The Romans have to march two tiles up and initiate the battle and thus the battle incorrectly seems to occur in a dense forest.
