Very good news and congrats for the release. I really like your mentioning that the mod is "for now compatible with nothing
So, do I understand correctly that this is neither for Alex nor BI.exe but only for Rome 1.5?
Second, just to clarify: I do the usual install of EB and then put the mod into the Rome folder? Or do I have to install into the EB folder?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah...this is a good time to reinstall EB, and march to Cisapane Gaul, time to acquire new slaves, are you with me Legate? For Roma, For Glory

[King Agis]

This looks great!

But what exactly does it add/fix?

I've made my own small mods for EB; primarily unique lesser Roman General skin/First Cohort Eagle standard/First Cohort callout

[King Agis]

Which Cohors Imperatoria/Centurion skin does it use - new or old one?

[Harad]

Congratulations on the release! Thank you for not forgetting eb i. This is one of the best that ever appeared on RTW.

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Almost 10 years since 1.2, congrats on the latest release.

[Outcast]

Congratulations guys! It has been years and I still enjoy hearing that the mod is still alive. God bless you bogia and whole team

[Kindjal83]

Hey guys, a question if I may, although a dumb one it may be... In this new 1.3 release, are a few bugfixes/sub-mods installed, such ones as the Eastern Hellenic Portraits already installed? If not, can the Eastern Hellenic Portraits be safely installed in this new version? Thanks in advance!


PS - It still appears as version 1.2 in the splash screen!

[Jaek]

This is awesome news. I can't wait to see the changelog, and if you need help testing do not hesitate to ask. I have been thoroughly enjoying 1.2 plus sub mods and ofcourse my own alterations for years.

ALL HAIL ROMAIOKTONOI!!! Sacking Barbaropolis never gets old.

So what is the sigifincance of the "-applaunch 4760/4770" part on the shortcut? Will this work with other mods we want to play as well?

That's to tell steam which application (game) it should launch. The others are RTW specific flags.

For steam version, the shortcut of desktop is from steam. So you need to tell it what app of steam you want to run. 4670 is for Rtw and 4770 is for Alex. A mod that is not for alex and is rtw only you can't run it via Alex, it may run but crashes will occur.

Thanks for your continued work on this mod.I must say some things in this latest version are a bit weird. I'm not a fan of the new landbridges. It is fairly immersion breaking when Sicily, Sardinia, etc are connected by long islands. I understand this is probably a move to help the AI but yeah, immersion breaking.
I'm running the Alexander version.
Also are the Hayasdan supposed to have zero homeland regions available? So far I've conquered all the rebel cities in the mountains around them and the best I get is "Alliances Available" I never played really played Hayasdan before so I dunno if it was always like this or my version is bugged? Even spying on the Pontic regions they aren't homeland for me either(thought they might be since Pontos and Hayasdan share recruitment buildings)
The campaign map also looks kinda weird, a lot more like the Med 2/EB2 map, is this intentional as well or are my files buggy?
I ask if these are bugs or not because I had a lot of trouble installing the Alexander version on my computer (instead of putting the EB file in my Rome - Total War\alexander\ directory I had to put them in the main Rome directory) I'm running the retail version of RTW.

First i can't really help with hayastan, they have some persian reforms and may this is the solution. Second the environment is different because there are included the new textures from anarchon. Third if you have installed Alexander into your rtw folder there is no problem. EB folder needs the Alex exe to work and they need to be into the same folder so no problem. If you see the 1.31a alex splash image you are ok

Well thanks for the timely replies! I do see the 1.31a Alex version splash and you've explained the textures on the campaign map =) Thanks for continuing to work on this!

[b0Gia de Bodemloze]

I have tried everything, and I can't get the v1.31a Alex to show up in the splash screen. I keep getting v.131 Alex. What am I doing wrong? thanks inadvance.

If you see 1.31 alex that means you run the version. The original says 1.2 by mistake.
