RS 1.5a (Sprite Patch) Released

[Squid]

The new installer is now available:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80725

Main changes:

- All old sprites are removed, replaced with new accurate sprites for all units
- Fixed missing unit/unit info cards for Borporus deces and corvus ships
- Fixed priest/priestess pictures not displaying for some priests/priestesses
- Some AoR fixes
- Unit stat tweaks
- Adjustments to happiness and law bonuses
- Some 'value added' to buldings that didn't give bonuses outside homelands
- In game text corrections
- Faction specific battlemap/stratmap advisors (taken from BI/Alex)

Probably some other stuff as well, but can't think of any more at the moment. The main installer thread has also been udpated.

This should be installed over either a clean 1.5/1.6 install or over an existing RS1.5 install (a clean 1.5/1.6 is recommended). The patch should be save game compatible.

twcenter seems to be down, so I'll have to congratulate you here:

Excellent job!

how it doesn't work to me :| please tell me why . I think I need a crack :|

[Squid]

You need to follow the installation instructions. You can either go to the main installer thread (I've updated the link at the top of this thread), or follow the instructions in the installer, they'll tell you what you need to do.

[Danzifuge]

is this included with the new version, 1.5a? if not, save game compatible?

[Squid]

Yes to both (hence why the title is "RS 1.5a (sprite patch)").

Yes to both (hence why the title is "RS 1.5a (sprite patch)").

thanks. although it would be more clear if it said "RS 1.5 (Old Version - Don't Download This If You Have The New Version, Bad Mother- Watch Your Mouth Son. I'm Just Talking About Shaft) Sprite Patch." now, i'm just nitpicking though.

[Squid]

That is nitpicking, espcially since there is no RS1.5 that is available for download.
