Compatibility / Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Install a vanilla version of Rome: Total War (RTW), EG v1.0
(2) Patch up as follows (this will depend on which version of RTW / BI is contained on your CDs / DVDs):
RTW patch v1.1, available here (http://www.download.com/Rome-Total-War-v1-1-patch/3000-7485_4-10325728.html?tag=lst-0-3)
RTW patch v1.2, available here (http://www.download.com/Rome-Total-War-v1-2-patch/3000-7485_4-10361710.html?tag=lst-0-10)
BI patch v1.4 (this includes RTW patch v1.3 on CD, which will be installed), note that this patch is available on the BI CD.
BI patch v1.6 (this includes RTW patch v1.5), available here (http://www.sega.com/support/pcdownloads/rometotalwar_patch/v1.6/English/rome_total_war_patch_1-6.zip)
(3) Create a backup of your DATA folder located at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
(4) After the backup has been created (this usually takes a while to complete), run the RTG installation program included in the download. Note that the default installation directory is the one that should be used for the mod to install and run correctly
(5) Once the installer has finished, you will need to delete the following files so that the mod will work correctly (create backups first if you want):
map.rwm (IE the campaign map) @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base
map_heights.hgt @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base
events.dat (IE sound file) @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\sounds
radar_map1.tga @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
radar_map2.tga @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
(6) Start up RTW as normal. If you attempt to play a new imperial campaign, you will have to wait longer than usual for the new map.rwm file to be automatically generated by the game.
Note that this modification is compatible with both RTW v1.5 and also with BI v1.6 installed.
