I think you will find that dvk has retired....I'm not certain for sure ofc, but the last I heard anything was some time after his father sadly passed away, from what I gathered he was at that stage where he had had enough of modding.

Guys is edit preferences button safe to use in launcher? I know that there are some things better not to touch there. Is edit preferences among them?

Aye that's fine laddie, the one you don't want to touch is "click to change vegetation quality". I always use preferences in the directory myself(below Play_Syracuse) you can "fine tune" better imo. Be aware though that there are separate preferences for Play_One_Turn and Play_Rome_One_Turn you will find them in their own folders, also be aware that when you open edit preferences in the launcher, you will find a tab for RSII parameters, open that and you can change the AI battle formations( I use sinuhets which imo is the best) modesty & garrison script, I suggest you experiment with them, they are savegame compatible, hope you find this helpful

Thanks. I was usig alex.exe and had no clue that i needed to change AI formations.

You're welcome, there's not really a "need" to change AI formations but nice that there is a choice, just make sure you co-ordinate with the .exe you are using or you will get an error message when exiting, it will not harm your game but you will be left wondering why you have it.......just as I was at first

Greetings,
my Problem is as follows: I`m playing a Seleucid Campaign (conquered halve the map already) with good old 2.6. on my old VIsta Laptop.
My new Gaming PC (windows 10) is coming, and I´d like to play my campaign on the new machine.
First Steps are clear, Install Windows, Install Rome, Install Roma Surrectum 2.6..... but what then? Can I simply copy the saves or are there other files i have to copy?

Thanks in advance,
Morifea

Hi there,

Indeed you can just simply copy the save file of your RS 2.6 from your old machine to your new machine. Pretty sure there won't be a problem.

Cheers!

Is there any way to mod population growth? It is insanely fast for my taste, I really like my special huge cities, its kind off dumb when every city is "huge". Also any advice to reduce squalor, I mean modding.

Hi guys. In 3.1, do you know if there is any way to go back to the 2.6 graphic style of settlements when playing a greek culture faction ? I mean from the square city shape to the previous oval ones, as it is for other factions.

greetings i am new to RS i st6ill dont want to appreciate you untill i fully know about it it seem great to me.
i havea question how can i add musics to your musics too? i mean vannila musics and mine musics ? i have checked here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...your-own-Music
but i dont know which exact folder should be on BI speceficly in this mod.

also what are those unit formation setting (like RTR DARTH DEFAULT & etc) i dont have any idea what they are !

Put own music in RS
MOST IMPORTANT: Make a copy of descr_sounds_music.txt, before you start the following procedure.

Step One: Open Data/Sounds
Step Two: Create a new folder called "Music"
Step Three: Place all of the .mp3 files you wish to use in this new folder
Step Four: Open Data, then open descr_sounds_music.txt
Step Five: Under campaign or battle map events, type the name of the Mp3 that you want to play, when
said event occurs. Make sure that you include the ".mp3" extension.

For example, under the "Roma Music" section, and in the state MUSIC_FRONTEND section, I added "AveCaesar.mp3"
(music from the movie Quo Vadis, whose soundtrack I own). You must use the exact name of the Mp3 in the Music
folder you created. Also, if the name has a space in it, I would suggest renaming the file (for example, "AveCaesar.mp3
was originally "Ave Caesar.mp3" ... it wouldn't play until I renamed it). Continue with each battle- or campaign- event
that you wish to put a new Mp3 into. If you don't want the vanilla music, just delete it from the battle event.
That has no effect whatever.

Important: Do not forget to delete or rename the file "events.DAT" in your data/sounds/music folder. If you don't the game
will ignore the changes you made and just play vanilla music.

That's it. Boot up the game and enjoy the music that you like!
(Original thread)

The unit formation settings dictate how the player and the AI will have their units arranged during the "deployment stage" i.e. before you click "START BATTLE." Sticking to DEFAULT or Sinuhet's is usually recommended.

I am play Rome 1 turn RS 3.1 Alex right now.

Is it possible to create a custom battle to try some stuff? If so, I don't see how. I can only get to the campaign.

Thanks!

[OJ33DA]

In the launcher, when selecting your faction, go to the ‘multiplayer’ tab, click the drop-down, and custom battles should be an option.

Thanks! I just tried that and it works great!

Im reinstalling rsiii with steam: "So, if you must play RSIII in Steam, you will need a copy of the RTW Alexander expansion."
Worked so far but im intrigued with that line in the description, put previously: "If you use Alexander, you'll have to look in the '_Important_stuff' folder and copy an Alexander version of descr_formations_ai.txt into the data folder."

Is that a required step then? I guess i can just copy paste the bi and rome exe and just use those via the launcher tho.

Hello everyone and happy new year to y'all. I have the answer for those who use Steam and wish to play RS III without a single crash four countless hours. So let's begin.

(Remember, steam users)

1. First install your Rome Total War Gold
2. Then Alexander.
3. Open your Rome Total War (not barbarian) and do this in your settings; please, this can be different for any computer depending on your specifications, you put all high or medium, don't change your resolutions also stubborn people.



4. Open your Alexander and do the same thing


ps: put a mark also in Subtitles (forgot to take a photo)
5. Now you go to your steam > steamapps >common > Alexander folder and do this

5.1 and put here inside the Rome total war Gold and say yes to all to substitute

5. Now donwload http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?728838 the 2.5, RSIII and the 3.1 patch
6. Now treate this folder saying "RS3" like this

7. Click in the 2.5 roma surrectum II and in the destination (when you want to install do this)

8. After that, click on the RSIII upgrade and same

9. patch 3.1, same crap...

10. copy everything inside RS3 like this

10.1 and insert here

and it should be exactly like mine; say yes to all.
11. delete that one you have (you probably have the one with the icon)

12. and go here

and you put the shortcut on the desktop; remove the shortcut part, it needs to be like Roma surrectum II
13. Now click and do exactly like this, the same I have here

put your steam username tho, press on save and click Play, don't ing click on preferences, just post marian reforms.
14.and this is the part where most crashes occur because the MOD IS NOT ACCORDING WITH RSIII PREFERENCES, BUT WITH ROME TOTAL WAR GOLD AND ALEXANDER, THAT WHY YOU NEED FIRST TO PUT UR SPECIFIC SPECIFICATIONS ON ROME TOTAL WAR GOLD AND ALEXANDER IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHES; topic 3.

14.1 put also a mark in subtitles too.
15. do this also

16 Optional



And now you are good to go and play. Bye

[Morifea]

In Pella you already have the Councillors Chambers Government building to start with, if you are playing 0-turn you need to build the Supply of Army Rations building to give you access to the Successor Army Base building followed by the Successor ELITE Army Base...if you are playing 1-turn you should already have the Successor Army Base in the construction overview,. Your other settlements need to have population of 12000 to give access to the Councillors Chambers building. You will ofc have to raise the necessary funds to build these constructions Hope this helps
