    *****************UPDATE*****************

    5.1 is released. Basically it's a patched version of v5, containing a few final amendments (basically polishing off the game as best I can). Changes include the following;


    - Added many new UI Eventpics for every faction, including cards for "Leader Killed", "General Killed", "Settlement Unrest/Riots", "Settlement Besieged", "Faction Strongest/Richest/Advanced/Largest" etc; now you should see the "generic messenger" image pop up much less!
    - Fixed the odd "loose formation" deployment of some Roman armies in descr_formations_ai. Now they deploy in close order (as was
    originally intended).
    - Fixed some loading screens which were incorrectly aligned.
    - Re-implemented victory/defeat videos; now there's no more blank screen on victory/defeat
    - Fixed the faction flags, banners and symbols; now every faction flag/banner will show on the campaign UI and battle UI (rather than sometimes appearing blank, particularly when reinforcing armies were trying to take part in the battle).
    - Finalised my Sabaea amendments, now the faction is complete; added new sabaean general/captain strat models, new sabaean general/captains, new sabaean bodyguard unit and a new sabaean officer. Also corrected the few pre-existing sabaean UI cavalry cards and corrected the Roman prebattle speech in regards to Sabaea (formerly they were referred to as Armenians). Finally, I changed the Sabaean culture to "Eastern" rather than "Carthaginian" (which was its default setting).
    - Added 2 more temples to Armenia.
    - Cut Armenian Heavy Spearmen/Babylonian Spearmen size back to normal (as the AI, particularly Armenia, was rampaging with them).
    - Lots of minor additional amendments, including text fixes, placing correct officers with units and stat tweaks. Hopefully stabilising the game more!

    It looks nice! Aye, unfortunately this is a new update. You can download it and then re-download the British general hotfix. Due to the fact that 5.1 has been updated I need to update the hotfix as well. Luckily, I've done just that!

    British Bodyguard Alternative.zip

    Enjoy. Btw, 5.1 should be savegame compatible

    Ok all done, are you finished all your updates now? I have not tested if it's savegame compatible but I do know that I have to reset all my preferences also I take it the Generals bodyguard cavalry will not carry the same scare threat as the chariots btw are ok with me recognizing you on the thumbnail? Attachment 340885 or maybe you would prefer I use your professional name (Chris Cavanagh)

    Whichever you choose is fine mate! And unfortunately no, the bodyguard has the same stats as the Gallic/Germanic/Dacian bodyguards now

    Aye, I should be done with the updates now (I'm a perfectionist but I've forced myself to leave the game be for now!).

    Hahaha I never considered doing a LP video. I'd be too tempted to curse or say something that would land me in trouble; not to mention the possibility that I'd go full colloquial!

    Sorry to trouble you again mate but the .zip file for the generals bodyguard is not working this time I'm afraid. And while I'm here, I had a "notification" from you earlier but when I went to read it in my account there was no message just a blank space

    Just ragequit my first campaign. Playing as Dacia; basically every single neighbour declared war on me and ignored each other, trying to make my life misery. Scythia, Greeks and Epirus all trying to nibble away. I can barely fend each stack off, and had managed to blunt their offensives. In fact, I was on the cusp of counter-attacking/driving them down into Greece, when my Roman allies deliberately bypassed Illyria, went straight for my lands and besieged my city of Aquincum. Fml......

    My face right now

    That is prevalent in RTW especially if you play on vh/vh I have found. Getians/Dacians/Thracians are seen as weak upstarts and fair game to all the factions around them.

    Just thought I'd give a sneaky glimpse into v5.2; coming out hopefully in a day or two. Contains new UI fixes, 2 new units (Numidian/Baktrian archers), totally new videos and a fancy new animated main menu screen (courtesy of xeofox). Here's a wee clip demonstrating it here!

    Ok! Version 5.2 is up!

    Changes include;

    - Many new text fixes/campaign description improvements
    - Further additions to the UI/event messages
    - Several reimplemented and brand new "Faction Destroyed/Faction Defeated/Faction Victorious videos" (all videos properly play now)
    - Fantastic new animated menu screen (courtesy of Xeofox)
    - New Numidian/Baktrian archer units (replacing the old "elite bowmen"), as well as new mercenary AOR units in the far East of the map (Yuezhi/Saka/Wusun)
    - Tweaking of descr_rebel_factions, descr_mercenaries and descr_strat. All erroneous texts should have been removed as of this update
    - More troops allocated to Macedon at campaign start (to better protect them against Greek AI blitzing)

    Hopefully that should be done - everything I set out to do with this mod has basically been achieved. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past while, you've been great!

    You can download v5.2 here, or at the start of the thread (marked under "Download"). Thanks again lads!

    PS - 5.2 is NOT savegame compatible; you'll need to do a fresh install and new savegame for the new tweaks to take full effect.

    PPS - To those of you who want to replace the British Chariot General with the cavalry alternative, I have updated those files as well. You can download them below, or on the main page (under "Optional Download"). Simply extract to your Rome Total War Alexander/AUC folder (NOT AUC/data!). Enjoy

    Since I can't finish my latest campaign on 5.0 with Baktria, today I downloaded new version and I'm sure that today will be some feedback here! When I check every nation roster I saw that greek archers have 700 upkeep, that purpose to use less archers for the greeks? and another story in my opinion elephants should have higher upkeep because when I played with Baktria I can get every single one seleucid settlement with that one elephant unit on the start.
