Ok. Up till now I have:
Uninstalled Rome Total War, Barbarian Invasion, Chivalry Total War, Rome Total Realism, 4turns/year meni-mod, the map fix, and all their registry keys.
Re-installed Rome Total War 1.0, patched it to 1.3, then installed Barbarian Invasion 1.4, then installed patch 1.6, then installed Rome Total Realism Platinum version, then patched it to 1.5, then the mod switcher, and now I tested it and it works.
Though, the tricky part is the 4turns/year meni-mod, it keeps making the folder Rome Total War wherever it installs, and since it is another mod, it keeps replacing some RTR files, and leaving some, making it 'not' work.
So, any thoughts about that?
I've never used the mod-switcher, but can't you just install the Metropolis Naval mod on top of RTR Platinum, so the mod-switcher thinks they are a single mod (which they are for its purposes, I suspect).Quote:

Back then, I used another crappier PC, but with more space, better said, more free space. ~;)
When I do that, Simon, it creates ../RTR/ROme Total War/Metropolis mod data classified in the same folder structure: Data folder, UI folder, etc..
You see what I mean?
Maybe I am missing something here - not knowing about what the mod swapper does - but why not just overwrite the RTR data folder with that which you've extracted from Metropolis/Naval and so on for any other folders? If you can't stop it creating its own folders on extraction, just use windows explorer to cut and paste them on top of those for RTR stuff.Quote:

I do not see any such report.
I've been continuously adding to my post in the First Consul Reports thread through edits as the campaign went on. I've made the final edits now, and the complete report is in that thread.
I will give you an example:Quote:

If I paste the Metro mod one over the RTR one, it won't work. If I do the other, it also won't work.
So, what is the way to join in the different files from the two, and replace the smaller ones, with the bigger ones (Edited ones)?
The LRP way of “getting into trouble and causing wars”:
1) Your diplomat is very undiplomatic in his negotiations and really ticks your intended “victim” off! Gets himself killed (assassinated). Vola! One excuse “they murdered Lexus, the barbarians! They must die.”
2) Assassination failure. Take one inept or otherwise disposable “assassin/scout” and give him a mission he’s sure to fail on. Vola! One excuse, “They murdered Decius, the barbarians! They must die.” – obviously there is no hint of any wrong doing from your side.
3) The “we’re the biggest dogs in the yard and we have to prove it” method. Pick your “target”, make a diplomatic demand (in RTR’s case land) with an “Or we’ll attack”. In LRP it would be IC money. If they cave then you’re certainly the biggest dog, if they fail to comply……Vola! One excuse “we made a reasonable demand for the return of our historic/sovereign lands, who’s people are of our blood and they spat in our face! The barbarians! They must die”.
How do those sound?
No idea why it won't work - that's what you should do. The Metro mod files overwrite some in RTR Platinum.Quote:

Updated Influence table for voting:
[i]SA's EDIT: NB Gnaeus Hordeonius is assigned to Silver Rusher and Secundus Salvidienus is assigned to Ignoramus, in lieu of Sextus Antio.
No, what's this! An influence drop! ~:mecry:
Anyway, my thanks for this TinCow. You've been one of the most helpful members of this PBM :bow:
EDIT: you've not put in Tiberius Coruncanius/FLYdude's name into the Senate Library as current consul.
Just a note to say that, as previously discussed, Gnaeus Hordeonius is assigned to Silver Rusher. And in view of Ignoramus's request for a general, I am assigning him Secundus Salvidienus in lieu of Sextus Antio.
Thanks for the influence update TinCow's. :2thumbsup: I've edited it to reflect the above.
Thanks Tiberius and econ21, the mentioned changes/corrections have been made to the Library.
Ironically, I am striving for an offensive against Iberia in this campaign, while in my own campaign I am allied with the Iberians and we are fighting the Cartheginians together. :laugh4:
Braden, I would be interested if you could dig up some historical (Roman) examples of your ideas.
I'm currently reading Livy and so I remembered the following passage. It's not quite the same, but similar.Quote:

Chapter XXII
So, thinking that the nation was growing decrept from inaction, [Tullus Hostilius] everywhere sought excuses for stirring up war. It happened that the Roman rustics were driving off cattle from Alban territory, while the Albans were treating the Romans in the same way. The man who was then in power in Alba was Gaius Cluilius. Each side, at about the same time, sent envoys to demand restitution. Tullus had commanded his envoys to do nothing else till they had carried out his orders; he felt convinced that the Albans would refuse his demands, in which case he could declare war with a good conscience. The Alban representatives proceeded rather laxly. Received by Tullus with gracious and kindly hospitality, they attended in a friendly spirit the banquet which he gave in their honour. Meanwhile the Romans had been beforehand with them in seeking redress, and, being denied it by the Alban leader, had made a declaration of war, to take effect in thirty days. Returning, they reported these things to Tullus, who thereupon invited the Alban envoys to inform him of the object of their mission. They, knowing nothing of what had happened, at first spent some time in apologies. They said they should be sorry to utter anything which might give offence to Tullus, but that they were compelled to do so by their orders; they had come to seek restitution; if it should be denied them they were commanded to declare war. To this Tullus replied: "Tell your king the Roman king calls the gods to witness which people first spurned the other's demand for redress and dismissed its envoys, that they may call down upon the guilty nation all the disasters of this war."
Also, the Third Punic War started because the Romans made some crippling demands to the subdued Carthaginians, in fear that they might grow strong again, to threaten Rome's dominance over the Western Mediterranean.
Ok. SO:
I copied whole Rome Total War directory without the BI one to the D. Then installed RTR on it, patched it, and then the stupid part (What is it's matter 0-o): Metro mod. Again it made it's own structure, but anyway I took the troubple and copy-pasted each file. Then I tried to lunch after deleting map.rwm files.. And again, CRASH!
Now what is going on here !!!!
You think you've got it bad, I'm still stuck at Inf 0 ~:(Quote:

Ok.. I've done another re-installation now.. And have been trying it each step, and up till now no problems. Going to try a savegame now.. Man, I sacrificed for this PBEM.. Imagine it, 3 're-installs'..
EDIT:
Thank god it works.. And I tried the last save game, in which I rampaged through Macedonia :D And it is fast on this PC oy yea!
That's one of the reasons why I proposed you to take over Consular I Army. A few victories will give you some + influence traits.Quote:

DDW – hope those “historic” examples given by others based on my LRP “ways to make wars happen”, a subsection of the novelette “The LRP way to make enemies and influence people” helped. :2thumbsup:
Braden.
P.S. Just a quick note: I have been hugely busy at work and have still no working PC at home so I’ve not been as involved in the Senate as normal. :no:
Hope I can get back to a normal service in the next few days.:dizzy2:
How I wish that were true.Quote:

econ21, motion 8.7 has two seconders.
