The new version is out. Here is the download link to RTH_1.2:

http://dfiles.eu/files/l3d505hrr

Installation:
To install the game you need a vanilla version of Rome Total War upgraded to versions 1.3 and 1.5. Unzip the file with Win RAR and move the folder RTH into your Rome Total War folder besides the original Data folder. Do the same with the “Rome Total History mod” launcher and eventually open properties to correct the destination path. Use the launcher to start the game. It's easy as hell.

Very cool, are you the mod leader from TWC by any chance? (Ahowl1 or something like that)

[Philadelphos]

I'm the initiator of RTH. Most of this mod has been done by me.
Ahowl is the PR manager of the group. We could need more collaborators anyway.

[BroskiDerpman]

If I remember correctly you guys ported the MM map, I've got a friend who is modding an Late Roman mod (IBUR) and he requested for a new map to replace the vanilla BI one.

You guys don't have to help port MM map to his mod but of course if you guys feel like it the thread of his request is here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...5#post13492845

Thanks.

[Philadelphos]

I'll have look at it, but since I'm leaving for holidays, it will take some time before I can take a decision.

Alright, thanks.
