When I try to start the game in full screen mode, the right half of the game screen is cut off, and the left half is stretched over the entire monitor.
When I start it in windowed mode, it crashes to desktop whenever I try to start a battle. Any ideas?
I think this question stands a better chance of being answered in the Apothecary. It's our tech-help forum.Quote:

You cant play ANY campaign.

Apologies if this has already been noted - I couldn't find anything when I searched.
Elephants are listed as type "weapon cannot be upgraded", but when one of my elephant units helped take a town with an armory and retrained to get +1 armor with the rest of the army, the elephants also came out with +3 attack (gold weapon icon).
When I am sieging an epic wall city with siege towers, the towers reach the walls, but my men wont climb it... this is so annoying.. does this have a fix? I've got 1.5 RTW and downloaded a bug-fixer too (the one that solves the end turn CTD problem)
I've seen something like that with large walls (both RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6, both bug-fixed as above). The troops mill around at and just within the base of the tower - march slightly into the tower, turn and march right back out. And it's not consistent - one tower might have this problem while another just down the wall works perfectly. I've found that intensive micromanagement can eventually get the unit up the tower, but it takes forever (if you can afford the time, you probably didn't need that unit's help anyway...). You just have to keep selecting the unit and clicking to move to the top of the wall. If you zoom in all the way you'll see 2-4 guys go up the ladder into the tower each time. Wait a while for the traffic to clear on the ladders, repeat, they'll get up there eventually.Quote:

In practice a better fix (short of a patch - that would be ideal!) would probably be to emphasize saps and onagers rather than siege towers when faced with large/epic walls. That's my plan, anyway.
I was being sieged.
The Gauls(the enemy) haved ladders.They put it into the wall and they started to climb.
The first troops were killed and that troops entered in panic.There was men climbing, and when the flag turned white, they were going to the ground.
All the infantry of the enemy died and the battle automaticaly finished(They have cavalry).I dont have screenshoots.Is this a bug?
The Truth: Yes, this is a bug.Quote:

Other bug.Sorry if it is posted back.
Greeks vs. Rebels. (Autoresolved battle)
1 turn remaining and it is the turn of the Rebels.They will fight.Draw.
And the bug is... The Rebels sally again!.Draw again.They sally again. I have a Victory.
Where is the sally one time per turn feature?
Not sure...Quote:

I thought this was a fluke the first time it happened (see humiliating defeats thread), but Egyptian-style rebel peasants near Siwa are bugged. Unlike every other unit in the game (including Eastern-style rebel peasants over in the Arabian desert, for example), these guys ignore the spears of a pike phalanx. I had a full unit of Levy Pikemen fighting the peasants in a one on one battle. Normally when a phalanx attacks another unit, they pause when they reach thrusting range and fight from that position. Against the bugged peasants, the phalanx continued to advance until the front rank of the phalanx reached melee range of the front rank of the peasants. The peasants showed no signs of even noticing the ranks of spearpoints and pike shafts moving past their torsos. Once combat started, spear thrusts from the back ranks did appear to have some effect, but most of the pikemen had to fight with their shortswords. Result: peasants take ~50% casualties, Levy Pikemen defeated and annihilated.
Just to make sure this isn't supposed to happen, I set up the identical battle as a custom battle - only difference was an Egyptian flag over the peasants instead of a rebel flag. This time it went precisely as one would expect, the peasants were quickly destroyed for trivial losses to the pikemen. I therefore assume that the bug relates to the combination of Egyptian-style peasants with Rebel control, for whatever that may be worth.
There may be more to these bugged peasants than just ignoring pikes - an identical unit had previously defeated (but not destroyed) a unit of Scythed Chariots as I noted in my humiliating defeats post.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows of a fix (other than remembering to use overwhelming force appropriate for a much stronger unit than mere peasants), I'd love to hear about it!
I just purchased Rome: Total War Gold a few days ago, which includes RTW and BI. After installing RTW, I saw it was version 1.5. Then I installed BI, and the version went to 1.3. BI was at 1.4. So, after getting mad, I got the 1.6 patch, which brought RTW to 1.5 and BI to 1.6.
The game seems to work fine. However, I just played the Prologue of RTW. After taking over a settlement, the gold in the bottom right of the screen seemed to no longer match the gold count in my end of turn reports. It was 3000 more. I cycled through several turns where I should have lost gold, but each time my gold increased! I don't understand this, and I can't find anyone else who has had either of these problems (installation and the gold weirdness).
Am I getting gold from some source I don't know about, is the Prologue bugged, or should I just do an uninstall and reinstall RTW and see what happens?
As a follow up to my previous post, I've been told that you get extra money in the Prologue. I've been playing the campaign and things are adding up fine, so I'm happy. :)
Here's a fun one:
My camera in battle mode is always moving- sometimes it works right, sometimes it decides that if I can't make up my mind, then it will just move forward all the time.
Or spin.
Or go left.
So, I have to play the battles holdin gdown either ctrl or alt.
By the way, anyone know what I can do about this?
I'm guessing I'm not the first with this problem, But I found nothing in the apothecary.
The RTW 1.5 runs more faster.It doesnt loads all the music at all.(of 36 music songs they use 3 battle, 1 campaign, 3 marching and 3 tension sounds.)
a bug.Unfixed bug
Roman pila is trowed to the ground and this disappears.This happens when they have fire at will on and they are being charged.In that moment, they change to melee.And when you say attack they take their pila again
Urban Cohort pila can be throwed without having more pila to throw.Weird bug in RTW 1.0
And the siege bug happened again!
Other, heroic victories and crushing defeats are not saved at all.Some battles yes, some battles no.
The City Antioch of The Seleucid Empire can trained an Elephant being sieged.:inquisitive:

The Second bug you have quoted is a RTW 1.5 bug.
Gah!We need a RTW 1.5.1 version or something similar.This game still bugged.Quote:

Or we, the players, must fix the CA errors?:no:.
CA must do it.For the good of the RTW players.But CA will not do it.And RTW will still fixed.
If any CA staff member read this, please release a new patch!
Which bug do you mean?Quote:

Anyway, all the major issues of R:TW have been fixed, so I don't see why we absolutely, positively need another patch.Quote:

thats my opinion, Ludens.off-topic thread is this.
I know nothing is perfect.
I just posted my problem in the Entrance Hall so members should look there if they care to help me. Meanwhile I realize I have had a few problem, eg my arrow keys used to work for directing the camera, but one day they stopped working and never have again. I must use a,w,s and so on instead (only left hand of course. Any ideas:help:
:inquisitive: I wonder, too, if there is a way to say a picture of a battle scene (i don't have a print screen key on my laptop)
Thanks and Happy New Year (only 12 hours away here near the date line) to all members.
This is a wierd bug. Rome: Total War works fine for me, as does the Alexander Campaign, but Barbarian Invasion crashes upon startup - it shows the logo screens then goes to the desktop.
Odd.

WOW!!! How did you get that much money??Quote:

heres one. whenever i log onto multiplayer it usually logs on (sometimes it doesnt) but after i play one match, 2 maximum, it just exits out and i cant log back in. its very annoying and gay
I just purchased "RTW Gold Edition" which comes with "Barbarian Invasion." Since I read that "BI" changes things and I wanted to play the original game first, I haven't installed it. A card came with the game with the CD Key, stating that I would be prompted to enter the CD Key during installation. I wasn't, but the readme file says that there would be no prompt to enter the CD Key.
I tried running the game but after the copyright screen, it comes up with a second window (that I can never bring to the front) which is labeled "Protection Error." So I installed the patches and it still comes up with "Protection Error."
Right now I'm irritated. I guess I should have done my homework, but this was an impulse buy because a year and a half (or so) ago, some co-workers were all playing this game and raving over it and so I thought, "what the heck, I'll get it."
My machine more than meets the requirements since it is only a year old and top of the line.
Since "Protection Error" is coming up, it is almost as if the game is looking for the CD Key to have been entered, but since it was never asked for, how could I enter it? Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Try searching the apothecary: perhaps someone encountered this problem before. I am afraid I cannot help you further.
temple of saturn=25%law prevent corruption,greece cities port,south eastern teritory ports,and legions..a unit worth more than it cost,garrison with peasant only,or using monthly games and races replace those peasant garrisons in huge populations cities...like carthage,it takes 10-12 peasant=1k-1.2k denarii for garrisons upkeep while monthly games and races take only 800denarii,think about there is 200 to 400 denarii save up for every cities each turn......think of that they are volunteers for maintaining public orders and doing the fire fight duties,then you can use them instead of town watch(just using town watch at front line only,or place only 1 unit as prefecture as a lead),then perhaps you will feel comfortable to use them...:2thumbsup:Quote:
