[killerxguy]

Very nice mod Attila Reloaded, impressive!

It looks more to the fall of Rome than before.

Previews/Promotional stuff etc. all live in Mod Discussion. Thanks.

WARNING!
I had no time to search for bugs and errors. If you find any, don't go mad, report about them andt they'll be fixed by a fast patch.

I'm afraid I cant find any installation instructions. Ok, so it may be obvious that the files in the folders need to be unzipped into their right counterpart folders, but do I want/need your preference file?

Edit: This is feedback, not a rant! :)

Edit2: Perhaps not so obvious. Havent been able to get this mod to wok so far - though havent tried reinstalling yet. Extracted the bi folder files into my BI folder and overwrote the preferences file aswell. I at first extracted the data files into the rometw folders data folder, which is where I'm assuming I've gone wrong. Have since tried copying the data folder files into the bi/data folder - but dont know if the whole thing needs reinstalling. Only mods were the 1.6 patch and Extended greek mod... which at first I thought wouldnt affect the BI game, but now thinking maybe it does?

[NSG]

for the 3.0 mod version i had extended greek mod and 1.6 patch on also and had no problems.

But version 4.0 is out and that seems to have some bugs, waiting for attila to come with patch..

[Ramon Gonzales y Garcia]

Been playing v3.0 and am now downloading v4.0, I must say that your skins are simply works of art.
One thing though, and this may be a bug... I've been playing the ERE (v3.0) and when I build an Auxillia Barracks in some regions (i.e. Constantinople) I get the Foederati line and the Auxilia Illiricani, but when I upgrade to a Comites Barracks I couldn't recruit these units anymore?
Certainly it would not be a big problem to limit construction to Auxillia Barracks in some territories if I want these units, but I would just want to know if this was done on purpose.

[Trickle]

Got it working after a fresh install. Must have been getting the bi and rtw data folders mixed up.

There is a small patch out.

Seems to be. Same thing happens in many buildings in the v4 mod.
