No, you editted it wrong.
You need to go to the 'Macedon' thread and copy it properly, make sure you make a back up file and try again. I had the same problem. Macedon are worth it though , CAVARLY!!

Did you guys know that Rome: total war's expansion is coming out soon. :charge:
Barbarian invasion, situtated just after the fall of the roman empires, with consantine and THE HUNS!!! WOOT!
Good old Attila.
To play as the rebels you have to go to the file descr_strat.txt
Open it and copy and paste the name slave into the playable factions colum
Then when you have done that you will need to delete slave from the non playable caragory
then save your file
The rebels were never meant to be played so clicking on the faction scroll will crash the game

Not a suggestion, but maybe a comment. Certainly something.

Thrace - fight like greeks with a splash of barbarian
Pontus- fight like persian-greeks
Armenia -see parthia
Parthia -cav based hit and run
Seleucids -fight like greeks with a touch of persian
germania -guess what, you can play them as a greek faction with no shirts !
Britannia - a joke really,crap units and the chariots have silly little mud flaps
Scythia - am currently having a great time deystroying slow moving macedons with horse archers only.
Numidia - like carthage without the spears,very tenacious never say die.
carthage -armies were historically trained by some spartan general so fought in greek style but later copied arms and tactics of roman republic,
Egypt - can fight like greeks !
Gaul - dont bother.
Spain -love these guys ,good to use large formations of scutari out front.
dacia - see gaul.
Disclaimer- i am not greek.

Hello to you. I have a one GOOD question about RTW-BI.
Is it posible to create a "custom battle" in the "single player" that models a Sortie from the besieged castle? Maybe some command line parametrs, or else low-level things? I need to create battle, where the castle masters will be Attackers, but not Defenders.
If I can do it on the global map, why can't i make it in customising?
Precise answer i can't find at the all internet...
Well, just do infinite time. That way you'll have to rout/kill them all to win anyway.
there is a poblem, that enemy begins a standart besieger and don't give me to go out from the gates. In 1:1 unit ratio my troops very rapidly become a smple defenders...This is not that i'm looking for - not a sortie as is.
They should really fix the accuracy on the oganars because there is no way that they should be able to miss an entire army that is marching towards you. A blind person could of shot it straighter than this.
Are you using flaming ammunition? Those indeed have lousy accuracy, but ordinary ammunition work far better. Anyway, this thread is just for comments and suggestions about the guides forum.Quote:

Ichi is very busy in real life right now, so Kekvitirae has kindly agreed to help me. A big round of applause for the brave person willing to enter into what begins to look like the cursed position of frog's partner :balloon2:

:book:
My suggestion is that in the first post of each thread it be modified to have a list of all the usernames who've given strategies an a quick 1-sentence or less summary of the nature of the strategy, as well as page # or link for it. This is merely a suggestion, and is very unlikely to happen as I know that this would take forever and thensome as I've administrated forums before and compiling takes forever, especially in a forum as big and with as many replies as TWC. But, I saw the thread so I figured I'd voice my 2 cents just for the heck of it.
-CrW
Would be very cool if they atleast summed up the big ones, like get one person to sum up each thread using the good posts, and sending it to an admin for moderation :)
Updating the first post with a good summary of the tips posted is part of the original idea behind this forum. Alas, I've never had time to do anything.
If there are any volunteers to write such summaries, Kek and I can edit them into place, with full credit to those whose work it is, of course.
I'll take up the offer. I'm something of a n00b when it comes to RTW so I can't promise the summaries to be perfect, but I've always entertained ideas (some might say "delusions" ~;p ) of being a fairly competent writer, and at any rate it'll be a learning experience for me ~:)
Unless your manuevering your phalanx men keep them in their formation otherwise they'll get cut to shreds :(Quote:

Thanks for volunteering :bow:
Pick any faction you like, put together a summary of what has been said, and then PM it to either myself or Kekvitirae; we'll edit it into the first post of the thread.
Apologies for the slowness of my work; various things (most notably school) have been constricting my schedule a bit. However, I'm still working on the first summary, rest assured, and should hopefully have it finished soon. If only it were still summer...
I am having some problems with loading a saved position of my RTW.
Game crashed so I have backuped my saved position to another directory.
After reinstalling RTW I have returned saved position file in the same directory but when I load it nothing happens . I am playing about one month and it would be a disaster if I would have to play it from the beginning . Any suggestion?
Hello COOLING, welcome to the Org ~:wave: .
I cannot help you with your problem, but you could try posting about it in the Apothecary, as that is our tech-help forum. Also, more information about your computer, the savegame and Rome-install (R:TW? BI? Alexander? Which patch?) would be helpfull.
I apologize again for bseing so slow, but a (hopefully temporary) schedule crisis has forced me to delay my work for a while. (My sister is on the school volleyball team, and we have games most of this week.) Of course, I haven't been working too fast on this in the first place (w/ school and all), so it may be a while before I have my first one up...
Thanks , I will try at the Apotechary. My PC configuration is : X2 4200+ , 2 gb ddr , vga 6600gt gainward 250 gb hdd sata2 ...
Good question... I am still yet to find out how, but I am sure it is something with modding
hang on..... I seem to have found out th
sorry,,,, my Opera browser suddenly closed..... So go to Rome-Total War\data\world\imperial_campaign, then edit the desr_strat.txt, and its pretty easy
It is probably a corruption with your saved files....Quote:

contents in YourFolder\
Briefcase - "Auto BackUp"

Folder - savesOld
Folder - savesOlder
Shortcut to Rome - Total War\saves
Every now and then. (once per day) run UPDATE in the briefcase, (make connection with the saved files first) and UPDATE the briefcase. Then copy EVERYTHING in "savesOld to savesOlder, saves to savesOld, and briefcase to saves.
I am very sorry to hear your story... I know how it feels.... I have lost a saved game of a magnificent Brutii like this.... (Two months of work)
I have also lost all my saved games after installing BI. I wrote the makers and they replied that BI contains a fix which is incompatible with the saved games in RTW (my copy was only a few months old, though). The saves can be seen in Windows explorer but not opened in the game. So far I can't understand the suggestions on how to backup the saves. So I guess it's just live for the current game only!Quote:

Hey, could someone make a Sieging/Fending off sieges guide? There are things that people could learn from it.

can you make a thread comletely about the city of Halicarnussus,its the crazeyist city in the game,once you take it,pontus attacks with a full bannerd army,and if your pontus its essential to keep it...very crazy city....and it has a world wonder!!
i got a problem actually, how do access my battle replays... i want to put it up on another forum to show but i cant find them, they are saved in fact. Please tell me how to access them thank you...
i think you clik on load saved battles in the costum battle menu if i am correct
To take over the whole map im sorry to tell you but you will have to beat the game again on the short campain,once it shows the victory screen there it will ask if you want to continue and conquer the WHOLE map,hope that helps,good luckQuote:

Can we massacure a town or enslave the peopl of it after we own it with out having to let it revolt and then fight the new rebel army?
I think CA should improve it's RTW battle AI after patch 1.5.....:shame:
coz i am attracted by RTW 1.0 battle AI,RTW 1.5's battle AI seems stupid compare to RTW 1.0 battle AI
since i got RTW 1.5,the AI can't give me much resistant,that make me feel bored.....that won't happen in RTW 1.0(in the battlefield of coz)
Is reinstalling 1.0 an option guineawolf?Quote:

i think CA should add a extra map to indus(India),coz i read from history book that Caeser did sent 40000 men to india ,but only 10000 made it back....then can add 1 more faction at least =the India kingdoms:2thumbsup:
What is everyone’s favourite cavalry? I prefer Legionary Cavalry because it is very cost-efficient, compared with all the other elite cavalries.

I wish that you could unlock more factions. I was upset when you couldnt unlock people like the Dacians and the Numidians!
You can :p
do you know about descr_strat?
A lot of the non-playable factions are more fun than the un-lockable ones. Macedon and Pontus are ace!
Lets not forget about awesome Numidia!!!! :2thumbsup: :tongue3:Quote:
Macedon and Pontus are ace!
Numidia isn't one of my favourite factions. Their swift cavalry plus light infantry doesn't seem to match the fighting capablility of some other factions.
The only really solid infantery unit Numidia has is the Legionarie copie, but even that one is outmatced by most other infantery.
Has there ever been an explanation of why some factions are unplayable when playing them causes no campaign issues at all? I mean, I understand not having the Senate or the Rebels unlockable, they break the game - but Pontus? Armenia? Numidia? Sure, some of 'em aren't in great positions at the start of the game, but just label them as advanced, high difficulty factions or something.Quote:

Some reasons could be marketing. You launch a game, offer some features. Later follow ups are not set in stone.
It's clear they had limitations of play testing (or failed to respond to findings) so, making more factions playable, would have been expensive, as they'd require to be tested.
I think, marketing reasons made for much of the game decisions.
Roman factions - obviously; split them means more opponent variety
What a coincidence, that the Major Western European markets are represented by a barb faction, even Spain has something.
The appallingly stoopid Strategic AI, weak Battlefield AI, broken Diplomacy system, and ridiculous anti-historical stuff and "funny" units with special powers ought to tell you, that technical and historical reasoning, took 2nd place to having a game which appealed to the market and broadbase of casual interest.
After all in a review, the complexity is overwhelming and the strategy appears deep. It is only with time, that you realise how weak the AI play is and get disappointed by the lack of challenge.
Call me cynical if you like, but when gamers are willing to buy buggy games, and they even get great ratings, it seems a bit moot asking why some factions were made "unplayable" rather than "unlockable".
somone i need help downloading the 1.5 rtw patch can anyone help me or give me a guide:help:
hello don't know if this is the correct place to post but..
I'm new to EB and relatively new to RTW so still need advice from the advisor but this doesnt seem to work in EB? eg for reccomended construction.

Is there no advice given in EB??:help:

hello bot.
Does anybody use slingers much? They work great against armor if you have the luxury of being able to run them behind the enemy. Did this as desperation tactic (with Rhodian Slingers) against Armoured Hoplites, and inflicted a lot of casualties. Rhodian and Balearic slingers have greater range than standard trainable slingers.
