Settings menu:
Here you can add your Rome installations from which you later need to choose from (BI, Alexander or extra installation directory for mods).
The path has to be the base directory of your installation (i.e. something like ".../Games/Rome Total War").
The program seeks for different .exe files itself. Currently only the Steam Version (no BI or Alexander) is supported.
You can also check some options like whether Rome should start in windowed mode or without audio.
The Session List:
Your current sessions are shown here with some information. The most left column shows a "✔" when it's your turn. You can start your round by clicking on the "Start" button.
Click on "Create" to create a new session.
You can choose your installation, mod, campaign, a game name and the transfer path. In the end all session files will be copied to "TransferPath/GameName" (f.e. "D:/DropBox/Rome/Testy/").
The left faction column shows all campaign factions, the right faction column shows which you want to make available for players to choose from.
This cannot be changed later! (However if factions remain unplayed they will be controlled by the AI)
The two checkboxes "Autosolve Battles" & "Manage everything" don't do anything yet.
Now if another player wants to join a game he has to click on the "Add"-button in the Session List and navigate to the transferred session path:
The session should be added to the list:
Now, there is a "!" in the left column, because no installation has been chosen yet.
Click on the "Set Installation" button to open the following menu:
Here you have to choose an installation which has the same version, mod folder and campaign folder (only those are showed anyway).
After clicking accept you can choose the faction you want to play. You can change your faction whenever you want (when there are free factions left).
Now you should be able to take part in the session:
