RTRVII: Fate of Empires - RELEASED

[Tony83]

RTR VII: Fate of Empires - FOE v1.4
~ Download Mirrors and Installation Guide ~

Download Links

FOE 1.1 is now available from the following:

FOE v1.1 - DepositFiles
FOE v1.1 - MegaUpload
FOE v1.1 - Atomic Gamer
FOE v1.1 - ModDB

The FOE v1.4 Patch is available from the following:

FOE v1.4 Patch (installer) - Deposit Files
FOE v1.4 Patch (rar version) - Deposit Files

The rar version of the Patch is identical in content to the installer version. It is included because there have been some issues when trying to use the installer version of the patch. Therefore, if you have a problem with the first link (in that it refuses to install), simply use the second (rar version) download link instead.

The 1.4 Patch is not fully savegame compatible so, once you have installed the patch, you are advised to delete the map.rwm file (using the facility provided in the launcher) and start a new campaign.

Foe v1.4 Patch - Change Log

• all of the FOE v1.2 and v1.3 patches (so is compatible with any playable combination of FOE 1 that may currently be in use)
• revised and simplified Custom Battle rosters
• Roman Marian Legionary Cohort and 1st Cohort available in Custom Battles
• many unit statistical tweaks
• many gameplay setting refinements

Please note that the mirrors above are hosted by commercial companies that offer a two-tier level of service. Their free service will normally make you wait before you begin the download (anything from one to eight minutes!), and the download rate is typically 35 KB/s, giving a download time of between five and six hours. However, at least it is free. However, if you are prepared to pay for their premium service (from 5 to 20 US Dollars for one to two months) things are potentially a lot faster, as download managers and download acceleration is usually supported. We are by no means recommending one service over another, as the choice has to be yours. Only you can decide whether or not it is worth your while to pay for something you may only ever use once.

Are you able and willing to host a mirror of FOE 1.1? If so, please let me know and forward a link that I can add to the above list. You will have the teams thanks, and that of the RTR community, as well as your name credited alongside your link.

Installation Instructions

1. Install Rome Total War.
2. Install Barbarian Invasion expansion.
3. Install the BI v1.6 Patch.
4. Download and install FOE v1.1 to the Rome - Total War directory.
5. Download and install the FOE v1.4 Patch to the same Rome - Total War directory as in step 4
6. When asked, you should chose "overwrite all" or "yes to all"

FOE is mod-foldered and will not interfere with any original game files or any other correctly designed and installed mod-foldered RTW modification.

Known issues

• "Unit Shaders" should be switched on to prevent an error less CTD that occurs with the Greek Hoplitai model on entering battle.
• The RTR Launcher is known to give problems on some systems. If you encounter any simply use the standard Desktop icon to start the game.
• Do not try and edit and save the FOE Preferences, using the RTR Launcher, until you have run the game at least once. This is required to create your FOE Preferences.txt file.
