DOWNLOAD RS - Patch1.5b HERE

Here's what in the pot at the end of the rainbow.

Things in the patch:

  • All bugs from bug/ctd thread have been fixed except for the Roman family bug*
  • 7th culture system implemented, so the Sarmatians are now part of the Nomad culture
  • New traits/ancillaries associated with the new culture (i.e. Hates/Fears Nomad traits, Nomad TurnCoat, etc.)
  • Diplomats can now bribe spies and assassins
  • A few trait/ancillary fixes which include a change to the triggers for temples to make temples more reasonable, especially for those temples (like fun) that were atrocious before
  • Switched the epithets "the Great" and "the Mighty", so now if you get legendary conqueror you will be hailed as XXX the Great.
  • Good/Bad Infantry and Cavalry Traits are now available to all factions
  • Added new "Information and House Rules" building to prevent a CTD
  • Miscellaneous other fixes
  • Removed all references to obsolete units in export_descr_advice.txt (should hopefully remove the last of the annoying "carthagininan peltast" issues)
  • Added forced diplomacy mod to installer
  • Custom location file was fixed, and new custom location for the wonders have been added
  • All units now have all sounds
  • A few minor map tweaks, and starting position changes for the gauls and egyptians
  • RS1.5b has been made fully compatible with the alex.exe, and if the alex exe is in the directory installed to, an RS w Alex shortcut will be generated on the desktop.
  • An attempt was made to help with MP by including pregenerated map.rwm files, this is untested, but we hope it helps


Best of all this shoul be 100% save game compatible, though some of the features/changes (e.g. the info building) won't show up until you start a new campaign.

*The roman family members that didn't change bodyguards after the reforms have been left that way since if they are made to change bodyguards, all family members, generals, governors, pro-consuls, etc will also change their bodyguards to the post marian family member bodyguard.
