Important Information

Depending upon whether your own project utilises night battles or not, you may need to remove the NightBattleCapable traits from all faction leaders and heirs in the descr_strat text file.

Installation Instructions

This download can be used as either a Provinical Campaign, or as a direct replacement for the existing vanilla text files. If you decide to choose the latter option, please remember to backup your original files.

(1) Download the RTG Provincial Campaign to the location of your choice.
(2) Once the dowload has finished, extract the ZIP file. If you wish to create a Provincial Campaign, goto step (3). If you wish to copy and paste the files over the existing ones, goto step (4).
(3) Copy the RTG Provincial Campaign folder into the C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign directory folder.
(4) Manually copy and paste the files contained in the RTG Provincial Campaign over the existing files. Some are contained at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base, whereas others are contained at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign. Remember to delete map.rwm from the base folder.
(5) Within the RTG Provincial Campaign folder is a subfolder called 'text'. Open this subfolder, copy and paste the single text file inside (which is called imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt) into your existing text folder, located at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text.
(6) Make sure you have added campaign descriptions for each faction in the campaign_descriptions.txt file, located at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text
(7) Run RTW. If you are using the Provincial Campaign version, a Provincial Campaign menu should now appear in the Single Player menu. If you are using a manual installation, start a new Imperial Campaign as normal. You may have to wait whilst the new map.rwm is regenerated.

Added 15/06/06

Hopefully this will be answered. I've tried installing this map multiple times as both provincial campaign and replacing existing files. I've done as much as i can think of to ry and play this map, but despite my efforts I still can not play the map. Everytime I try and play I get as far as picking a faction and once i click the arrow in the bottom right corner to start it takes me back to the menu. If anyone has experienced this problem or knows what the problem is I would be very grateful if you could help.

Given the mod was released one and half years ago, it probably works on a 1.2 install of RTW, and hence isn't comptible with your (most likely) 1.5 install, and this is causing the issue.

Well, I kinda assumed it would work cause it was under the 1.5 category. You wouldnt happen to know of any maps for 1.5 that are kinda like this that do work.

I manged to download the file but need am not too good at the rest. Could you explain the rest of the guide about copying it into the game in a bit more detail please. Thanks

i joined the org just so i can help you guys out, and that is you must MUST with any campaign modification delete the already previous constructed map settings, i cant remember the exact file name but if you search it up for it or look in the forums for campaign help im sure you'll find it. however you should not require this if you try mod switch, i know its for big mods but sometimes that does the trick with the campaign crashes and errors.
