Does anyone know if this is going to happen at all? I've heard rumours but wasn't sure if they were just that.

1.4 is BI so no there will not be a 1.4 for RTW ~:) RTW might get a patch but we havent had any info on that yet I think.

There's a 1.3 patch to bring vanilla up to the standards of BI:

It's not clear whether there will be a 1.4 patch - it may depend on how many new bugs there are. (AI javelins etc not using fire at will seems a pretty big one, IMO).

cheers guys, it's odd the Total war site still doesn't have it on.

Well the pilum bug and the invasion bug for Brutii and Scipii ruin any chance for SPQR to port over to 1.3 for the players of BI users. because in SPQR if teh AI doesnt use pilum they will get destroyed, and the lack of invasions seems to only increase this problem. Basically getting on anf off the ships all the time isnt my idea of good, and the likes invasion switch doesnt seem to work at all which is ashame as that would have been good to give to carthage.

Depends what files you've modded. Actually... just about every file was updated in v1.3, so you'll probably lose everything.

And what you don't lose could very well be incompatible.

Stuie, tell him the truth, He's Screwed! ~;) lol

most people edit atleast the units file etc, so there is no way his changes will be there after the patch. ~:cheers:

I figured text entries would be lost but i dont think .cas files and textures would be lost. I just want to make sure so that i know exactly what ill have to backup.

gaah! can't get the 1.3 patch to install onto a fresh copy of RTW. I haven't heard anyone else have the problem so it must just be my set up... sigh.

Textures and Cas files will not be lost in a patch update, only files updated in the patch, just as if you copied a folder into a parent folder which had another folder with the same name (if that makes sense to you).
