Re-Install Help?

[eugeni]

I've just dusted off and re-installed RTW to 1.1.

I'm hoping for some opinions as to how much farther to patch it and what mods are now the best for pursuing.

Been over a year since I've played the game.

thanks

Hi eugeni and welcome,
May I suggest that you patch up to 1.2 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Patch.shtml) and then 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch-Download-8059.html). These patches both fix many nasty bugs with the game which can completely mess it up. However, I recommend that you play with patch 1.2 if you wish to play with the Roman factions. 1.5 introduced a nasty civil war bug, which, although I have never experienced it, has the capabilities to destroy games.

If you wish to play great modifications the then ones that you might like and which I have enjoyed that cover the same/similar great time period to R:TW would be:
Europa Barbarorum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=70) (0.8.1a) Requires Patch 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch-Download-8059.html)
Rome: Total Realism (1.5 PE (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=65573) or 6.0 GE (http://www.totalrealism.net/download.html)) Requires Patch 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch-Download-8059.html) (PE) or 1.2 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Rome-Total-War-Patch.shtml) (GE)
Roma Surrectum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=210) Requires Patch 1.5 (http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/Rome-Total-War-15-Patch-Download-8059.html)

If you require any more information, reviews, how to install etc, or help please do not hesitate to ask and I will attempt to get back to you as soon as possible. Hope this helps you, cheers!

I agree with Omanes and another good mod is (all though it has not been released yet) Ran No Jadai ( it is worth waitng fo its release ) :bow:

[Quintus Of Pompeii]

Yeah I agree with both Omanes and Oscar. EB is great, No Jidai looks spectacular if I were you keep a regular eye on that until release it will be fantastic.
