    Default The Iazyges, Marcomanni and Quadi Mod - a mod for Rome: Total War Barbarian Invasion

    Warcrafthero presents,
    The Iazyges, Marcomanni and Quadi Mod - a mod for Rome: Total War Barbarian Invasion

    Hello, some of you may know that in Barbarian Invasion there are some "cut factions". Two of these are well known, The White Huns and Moors, but among the files I found references of another three: The Iazyges, The Marcomanni and The Quadi. Only a few files about these factions can be found in Barbarian Invasion, such as battle banners, captain banners and symbols in the interface. Unfortunately no unit skins or unit cards were left so I do not know what units they had and what was their role in the game; it is possible that they were cut during the early stages of development.

    So, in this mod I have replaced the Burgundii, Langobards and Roxolani with these factions, assigned them some units and placed them in the campaign map.

    Features:

    - The mod is mod-foldered. This means that the files of the original games are not modified as the mod has its own folder.
    - Replaced the Burgundii, Langobards and Roxolani with Iazyges, Marcommanni and Quadi. Fully playable in campaign and custom battles mode.
    - Alemanni, Celts and Saxons can become an horde.
    - Reworked some barbarian horde units.
    - Changed/fixed some unit icons.
    - New model for the Kerns. (actually an unused model found in the vanilla game)
    - Added an "all factions" provincial campaign where the player can also play as the Romano-British, Slavs and Ostrogoths.
    - Fixed various bugs thanks to player1 and Borsook BUG-FIXER.

    CD version:

    2) Right-click the RomeTW-BI.exe and create a shortcut on the desktop; then right click on the new shortcut and select "properties", in the "target" field add this at the end: " -mod:bi/imq -show_err" (without the quotes).

    Here's a path for example: "C:\Games\Activision\Rome Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:bi/imq -show_err

    To start the mod, double click on the new shortcut

    Steam Version:

    3) Then start the game and select "Launch Barbarian Invasion". Remember that if you want to run the vanilla game, you will have to delete the string you pasted in the Launch Options.


    I hope you will enjoy the mod

    Thanks God! Now all is working best! Thanks Warcrafthero!
    I finished the Marcomanni Kingdom campaign and get a big glory for my knights! Long Live the King of Marcomanni!
    (hard difficulty of course, without hard, gameplay isn`t so interesting )
