To use this link it is necessary to have Pando installed: http://www.pando.com/
(I recommend this method for those who want to install the sound system in a few days, given that it is one of the few methods allowing up to 1 GB, and the sound system will be around this size)
Installation
After clicking the exe, these steps must be followed:
1- Choice of installer language
2- Starting the installer and accepting the licence (in the language chosen)
3- Choose the version of Iberia Total War to be installed (Spanish or English). Once the choice is taken, the installer choose automatically the set of files to be installed.
4- Choose the directory of installation. As default: C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
¡Be careful! I have detected this problem when browser is used, in the examples Rome - Total War_2...
...the installer adds at the end (with no orden from me) the final default folder.
It is necessary then to delete this final to leave the correct path.
5- Finally choose the quick start menu...
and ITW Gold Edition is installed.
In desktop there will be a shortcut called Iberia Total War_Gold Edition with the icon of falcata and caetra. You must use it to enter ITW:
Preferences
It is advisable to play with huge size of units and without detailed shadows, given that black zones appear in battlefields.
With respect to scripts, it is better to eliminate completely advisor to prevent overlapping.
Conditions of Use
This mod is for personal use only. You must get permission of the authors (development team) to use material of this mod in another release.

# Features #
--------------
Iberia Total War Gold Edition is a mod for RTW 1.5 that focus on the Iberian peninsula during the roman period. It is a completely new release and you need only a clean RTW installation (not the previous version of ITW).
1. The structure
ITW Gold will be one of the largest mods for RTW and it will be released in two parts. It runs in a separate mod folder and you will be able to choose one of the two language versions, English or Spanish.
The first release, the mod, has more than 6500 files, for more than 800 MB size (once installed).
The second release will be the sound system with new music, new ambient sounds and new speaks in the ancient languages. It will be around 1 GB (once installed). We will speak about it in due course.
2. The factions
The mod contains 20 playable factions in battle mode (custom and multiplayer): two roman factions, carthaginians and numidians, greeks and italic tribes, two gallic factions, and 12 playable iberian tribes (cantabri, asturi, gallaeci, lusitani, celtiberians, vaccei, illergeti, edetani, carpetani, oretani, turdetanians, and bastetani).
Some examples of the new faction symbols:
3. The units
All the units have been re-designed from historical data.
ITW contains 245 cas models with 384 textures. Most of units are widely available in campaign, as they appear as auxilliary or mercenary units in the corresponding zones.
All factions have a set of officers (general, officer, musician, and standard). Here you have some examples:
These are examples of units in ITW Gold:
One non-combatant unit: the supply chariot
Regarding animations, SigniferOne animations for infantry are still used, and we are using Prometheus animations for cavalry (with slight modifications) and some new animations for musicians.
4. The battle system
It has been completely changed from RTW system. Now the units are more resistant to death and the key point for victory is moral. In ancient battles the casualties were very limited and this has been tried to be imported to ITW. Projectile are less lethal, and they must be used wisely to reduce the enemy moral. The flaming projectile are specially useful for that, such as the falarica:
Formations are more difficult to mantain as the mass of soldiers has been made proportional to the light/heavy character of the unit.
Now massive battles are possible given that units are larger in number with very few exceptions.
5. The campaigns
The "classical" one imperial and four provincial campaigns are kept, with redesigned scripts that include now the 4tpy script.
The map has been re-texturized:
and all the models for generals, captains and fleet are new.
In the provincial campaigns, missions are issued to the human player, with the corresponding rewards and consecuences.
6. Other features
13 historical battles are included, among them the new Ilerda battle.
New interfaces, vegetation, skies, loading screens, lots of custom battle scenarios...
