If i re-install Rome Total War...

And re-install it with BI and Alexander included, will i be able to load my Romani Savegame with Alexander Exe?

If you do the exact same steps it will work (minimods, personal changes, etc), just keep an untouched save as backup.

Thanks, but now i cant download the EB exe for alexander! Both the zshare and megaupload links arent working!

**kostas84** · January 23, 2012, 11:07 AM

I just re-installed EB and im playing it with Alexander and loaded my Romani campaign, it went fine until all of my generals got the "Recruited General" trait, along with all of them having a weird trait instead of what class they are (senator, plebeian, etc...) and next they all got the "Impostor" trait which increased each settlements unrest by 70% >.< , along with them having different names than before.

I dont wanna restart the campaign i worked hard to get as far as this.

But its getting too buggy

Does the ALX fix mod the traits in any way.

Well i dont know about Zshare, but Megaupload got closed thanks for the US government.

1. Why do you post in the main forum while this is a technical problem?
2. Why do you create a new thread?

Your problem sounds like you loaded a 1.1 game under 1.2 or the other way which is not a good idea. Reinstall to the used version number and load your backup save.

No, i made sure i installed 1.1 then 1.2 then all fixes, and when i loaded it with Alexander EXE, this happened.

**XSamatan** · January 24, 2012, 09:05 AM

This is not what I said. Your old installation might have been only a 1.1 version and 1.2 is not savegame compatible. So the new build is different from your old one, that doesn't work.
Install the same way you did with your old copy of EB.

I first installed 1.1 then 1.2 and THEN i started the Romani campaign, i never started any game with 1.1

**XSamatan** · January 24, 2012, 04:50 PM

Again, this is not what I wrote...

Your old installation might have been a 1.1 (you might have placed the 1.2 installer wrong) and so your save is a 1.1-build and is not compatible to 1.2

Like I said in my opening answer:

Since you now got errors, you have done something in an other way compared to your prior installation.

Perhaps I can add some usefull infos here...

Afaict kostas' old installation was a standard EB installation without the ALX-exe-files (from Alexander EB for playing EB with RTW-ALX.exe). And after he re-installed EB, he installed it with the ALX-exe files and used his Romani-save from the old standard EB installation without the ALX-exe-files.

And perhaps this is of any importance: The ALX-exe-files include a modified export_descr_character_traits.txt. But I assume it only adds some traits, as e.g. nightfighter, without deleting or changing the original ones. I'll attach it just in case.

**kostas84** · January 26, 2012, 03:11 PM

Thats exactly what happened, once i installed those files, these weird things started happening, and i saw somewhere that it was compatible.

So now we know that its not.

I can restart my Romani Campaign anew.

**XSamatan** · January 26, 2012, 04:42 PM

Why?
You do have an untouched save as backup, so just re-install EB on RTW and continue from there.

**kostas84** · January 27, 2012, 06:57 AM

It doesnt matter, the progress wasnt enough anyway.

And i already started a Makedon campaign with Alex Exe files, so i can start my Romani campaign anew and see how it goes.

Just try to fix this small compatibility issue with the next patch, or just create something like RSII did with RTW/BI/Alexander , if u dont, its okay, you must have all of your manpower on EB II anyway.
