Troy Total War v4.0 Released! (Out of date)

[Zhuge_Liang]

NOTE - THANKS TO NERO666 A FULL 4.5 VERSION IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON THE ROP SERVER. THIS VERSION USES A MOD FOLDER AND CAN BE USED ALONG SIDE OTHER MODS. THE LINK IS BELOW:

You still need BI patched to 1.6 for the installer to work and vista users must run the installer as administrator. It contains both troy 4.0 and the 4.5 patch, it is the only download you need. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OLD TROY INSTALLATIONS.

Troy: Total War version 4.0 is now available for download.
(Please read these installation instructions before downloading)

V4.0 includes all the features of the gold beta plus more and improvements. It is the first release that i would consider to be beyond beta stage of development. It is a stand alone download, which is clear from the instructions

I'm glad to hear people are starting to hear that the mod has released a new version .

I'd just like to re-confirm that v4.0 includes all the features of the gold beta plus more and improvements. It is the first release that i would consider to be beyond beta stage of development.

Thanks for downloading it.

Ok, glad to hear.

[Nicodemus]

Can this be installed directly over the previous version of TTW ( if there are no other mods/changes being used in the over-written RTW setup) , or is a clean copy of RTW/BI required ?

[Zhuge_Liang]

I would recommend installing over a clean version of BI 1.6. This is a stand alone release, not a patch and part of the installer is designed to delete certain files from a clean bi 1.6.

hey all whats up

See the top of Zhuge's initial post in this thread.

An alternate link has now been added.

Installed perfectly. No issues so far. Thanks.

[Nicodemus]

Some questions/observations though:

The units seem to hit tired/exhausted very quickly. Is this a feature of the mod ? or of the BI engine (I haven't used it much - mainly RTW ) ? It is caused by the high defensive values and/or reflective of the battle fatigue of the times ?

Archers : actually, no I don't have issues with these, contrary to other posts. They do their job perfectly against poorly armoured troops, so at the moment ( Argos ) I mainly use them against opposition missile troops and swordsmen.

Graphics: Also contrary to another post, I think the graphics are great. Much better than other mods ( eg Fourth Age ) that I tried. Voices are OK too. Don't mind using the original non-Roman ones :much more professional sounding.

Bugs ? the mercenaries ...esh-types are missing text when right clicking to see unit cards :its minor, but the descriptions here are usually very good.

Lastly, and probably should be in the book bit : Bettany Hughes "Helen of Troy". Great reading. Did you know that Bronze Age traders used ostrich egg shells for packing delicate goods ? Well,I guess ZenithDS did, but it was fun to find out.

Overall a great mod, seems well-balanced, well-researched and a credit to the team. Amazing that CA never thought of it !
