RTG Open Beta Hotfix

There's now a hotfix available for the RTG open beta, here are the installation instructions:

(1) Download the RTG Open Beta Hotfix from here, its only a small file and should last a couple of seconds at the most.

(2) Using a ZIP extractor tool (EG WINZIP), extract the RTG_Open_Beta_Hotfix folder to the location of your choice (EG desktop).

(3) Open the folder, you will find the latest version of descr_strat.

(4) Simply browse to the following directory destination...

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

...and replace the existing descr_strat text file with the one you've just downloaded.

What does the RTG Open Beta Hotfix do?

RTG gives the Carthaginians an alternate unit to Iberian Infantry, they are called Carthaginian Infantry. They are in many ways identical to Roman Hastati, and the skin, sprites and UI cards have been created by Professor Spatula.

Here's a screenshot of some Carthaginian Infantry:

Carthage starting armies apparently contain Iberian Infantry. The hotfix simply replaces these starting units with Carthaginian Infantry. Enjoy! :medievalcheers:
