Great, the first mod for ROP I'll check it out soon.
This is for version 2.02, right?

[Ostrogoth]

Of course for 2.02

Hi, I have try to use the mod, but it does not work, can you tell me how can I install it correct?

[Nero666]

I haven't tested the files yet - as I'm working hard on our next release - but if they work fine you should install ROP + Ostrogoth's mod like this:

-Get a clean installation of RTW 1.5 (no mods installed to it)
-Install ROP Beta 2
-Install Patch 2.01
-Install Patch 2.02
-Install Ostrogoth's mod

I'm not sure on how to get all factions in custom battle or own units in all settlements, but to get all factions in campaign can be done by changing lines in the descr_strat.txt document.

go to c:/programfiles/activision/rome-total war/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt

then you need to cut & paste the nonplayable to playable as so:

playable
pandya
egypt
parthia
spain
seleucid
dacia
greek_cities
pontus
britons
thrace
maghada
armenia
sabaean
baktria
numidia
scythia
macedon
gauls
germans
slave
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable

end

save the file then and when u go to campaign all factions will show. i guarantee people already knew this but if u didn't that's what you need to do. some of the above are from the rome settings such as parthia and gaul which u can't play as, but it doesn't screw anything up so it doesn't matter.

To make all the factions playable to custom battle u have to go to data/descr_sm_factions, find the faction u want to make playable and to custom_battle_availability, change it from no to yes. In this manner u can make all the factions playable to custom battle.
