============================================

OVERVIEW OF MOD

============================================

TERRAE EXPUGNANDAE "Lands to Conquer"

This mod was done to try and make RTW better by improving the gameplay and making it more fun. It does not aim to be
historically accurate. It just trys to make Rome better, which i think it does and i hope you agree. Hope you have fun
playing this mod.

COMPATIBILTY:
This mod is for RTW 1.5. It may work with 1.3 but it WILL NOT WORK with 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2.

Terrae Expugnandae 1.1 save games are NOT repeat NOT compatible with this version.

It's great mod! You've done some great work with it Lusted (cemendur).
It's sad to see yet another good modder leave:no:

i could wait to play this mod and then when the game was laoding it said that some roman general thing in the data/models file was missing and then it ctd. whats up with that? perhaps u could fux this or make a mod that actually works

Insults are never necessary. My mod does work, it is one smalll typo that is the problem. The hotfix fixes this problem. Download that and it will allow you to play the campaign. There is a reason that i created the hotfix. Link tot he hotfix in first post or in my signature.

sorry if that came off bitchy. i wasnt insulting your mod i was very exited for it. thnx for the hotfix but what exactly am i supposed to do with it?

Just extract it to your RTW folder like you did the actual mod.

i love your mod very very very much but everytime i chose to do battle myself the game ctd. is this a bug, but your mod is great

Have you installed to a clean rtw 1.5?

Yeah. I fresh installed it, installed barbaian invasion, and patched it to 1.5. it works. but it ctd and when i reload it im where i left off b4 it ctd.

Hey, Lusted i played your mod and i must say that it's great, but i think that there are alot of ctd's in the game. For example: Egyptians crash on custom battle.

I hope you'll release a small patch, so everything works perfectly.

I intend to, thoug hi have not had crashes with egyptians myself.

Well, that's really strange, on TWC someone said that he crashed to desktop when using the Legionary Cavalry. It seems like everyone has it's own specific bugs.

It does, some people have crashes with some units that ther people can play fine with.
