INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. make sure you have a fresh, unmodded install of RTW:BI
2. make sure you upgrade BI to v1.6
3. installer will search for the proper folder to install to
NOTE:
the installer will execute a batch file creating an 'ibfd' directory onto which all installations will be applied
4. Run and install the upgrade (v7.03) to the root directory (you can use JSGME if desired).

NOTE:
-installer will automatically search for the proper folder so normally you shouldn't have to change anything
-the v7.0 installer will execute a batch file creating an 'ibfd' directory onto which all installations will be applied
-no core files will be overwritten, you will come out with a CLEAN, UNMODDED RTW&BI
-a shortcut will be installed on your desktop, it will have the '-show_err' and a '-mod:ibfd' switch

MAKE SURE:
=no mods modify '...\Rome - Total War\bi\data' OR '...\Rome - Total War\data'
=install v7.0 to the root folder, usually 'C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\', anywhere else would cause a faulty install

=====================================
***************************************

the year is 410AD, the Roman Garrison in Britannia was shipped to Gaul by Constantine III, the usurper. Britannia, beset by raiding Picts and Saxons, asks for help from the Roman Emperor in the West, but was told to fend for themselves.
The Western half of the Empire is beset by it's own troubles, aside from the Amy of Constantine III which had overrun Gaul, the Vandals and Alans have reached Iberia, the Visigoths are at the gates of Rome, the Burgundii at the borders. These Germans have been driven westward by a great host - the Hunnic hordes, sweeping everything in their path, they now stand outside the gates of the Lombardi capital, and will start inroads into the West Empire and the East Empire very soon.
The East Roman Empire is beset by the Ostrogoths, also driven west by the Huns, and to the east the great Empire of the Sassanids, with their great cataphract cavalry. But the Sassanids are also being torn apart in the East by the Hephthalites, another great nomad horde.
No one is safe, the world is in turmoil, there is no knowing how it will end... This is INVASIO BARBARORUM! This is Total War! Get it Now!!!

Added 01/06/06

I downloaded the mod and got it to work, and it looks great, but I keep running into an issue, actually I've had this issue on two mods, IBFD and Arthurian TW, where when I start a campaign and hit no advice the adviser pops up nearly every time I click on anything -.- she gets really annoying in both games. Since I turned her off I figured she wouldn't be there but she is always there no matter what setting I put her to (in both mods) I can't stand her so I just sort of stopped playing them.

Anyone know how to delete/ get rid of her?

Unfortunately, I do not know how to fix it. I have gotten into the habit of turning the advice off at the start of a campaign (and my wife HATES) the advisor. Have you tried the preferences file?

8 year old thread, but better late than never! :laugh4:
