Fall of Rome - Total War

[uksiu]

Finished.

62 years for byzantine victory.
They used to sleep on the money, so lack of good infantry it's not a big problem. I collected 325,000 when I was building units and infrastructure in all provinces. And when I was fighting with almost every neighbours, I've never had less than 270,000... Boring

Maybe if Persians and Arabs attacked me, it could give some fun for my campaign - but they just were waiting for my army...

Strange thing: as Rome I was isolated - nobody wanted to be my ally. And allies always looking for the good moment to attack without signal. As Bizantium I had plenty of good ally, helping me in wars, and no traitors...

---

BTW: in Rum (Armenia in this mod) Byzantium has a mosque. So it makes small crash (need spacebar), because orthodox faction hasn't mosque graphic.

So I destroyed it at the beginning.

---

Very good mod I enjoyed it and I think I will back to start a new campaign - maybe as a Persians or Khazars...
But now I need to rest.

uksiu.

the mosque in armenia will be fixed in the next version. i'm glad to see that you enjoy the mod

The Blind King of Bohemia.

the Romano British warbands will be add in Fall of Rome 3.0 (i've already made them indeed..).

I like very much the idea of making a faction guide for the western empire

Hey Maximus, great mod, 1 problem though,
when I fight battles, there are no corpses, none, whatsoever/ Although its relativly minor, it bothers me alot because I love having battlefields covered in my enemies corpses. Do you have a fix for it?

Hello Maximus .
I haven't had time to read through everything in this thread but what time periods does this mod cover?

[The Sword of Cao Cao]

Just wondering are there any new untis. factions or campmap in this one? I've been lookin for a nice well done Roman mod...

[maximus decimus meridius]

Despot of the English.

the mod cover the period between 300AD and 600/700AD, the end of the roman western empire and the rise of the german kingdoms.

The Sword of Cao Cao.

there are a lot of new units and new factions, romans, sassanids, germans, huns, etc etc (please see the beginning of the thread) but not a new strategic map (only the names of countries are redone).

Max, thanx for answer.

I also noticed Bulgarian Brigands (or maybe Bulgarian Infantry) possible for Byzantium in Bulgaria in late era, but Drinkhall is needed, so it's impossible to train.

I'm waiting for the next version of this mod

[Flamininus]

I really love this mod Max, excellent piece of work

I'm looking foreward to the inclusion of the Romano-British warbands. I've just completed playing with this faction and it was very tough in the beginning, they need some good attacking infantry. Will the size of the Romano-British knights unit remain the same?

[Dextarious]

I heard that some people were using Razors AI Mod in collusion with this mod, if so how do you go about getting the two to work?

[maximus decimus meridius]

uksiu.

thanks for the information, i'll try to fix the bug...

Flamininus.

the size of the Romano-british knights will remain the same, but they will have a new appearence, more similar to the Roman horsemen.

Dextarious.

i've never used Razor AI mod, sorry. i haven't planned any modification of my mod to resolve this problem, after the next version maybe i'll be to make something.



All.

thanks for your appreciations.

[ah_dut]

sorry to bug ya mate but will v3 come out on an auto installer? thanks for the info sounds gr8 but i'm a cretin so can't install anything

[maximus decimus meridius]

ah_dut


i don't know if the V.3.0 will have an auto installer, sorry.. but i hope so.

max

[ah_dut]

thanks for reply HTW has one now so i don't see why not, just use the clickteam one, thanks

[Kaiser of Arabia]

if you have WinRAR you can make a self extracting archive that is kinda like an auto installer if you have the files in the right folder.

[maximus decimus meridius]

Ok mates thanks for your suggestions i'll try to make a self installer mod.

max

[dimitrios the samian]

Thats the way to go Maximus self installers .
Looking forward to downloading version 3 ..cheers pal.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

BTW, if you don't want to go thru all those 3d download hassles, and if it's under 750kbs, I can upload it for ye on one of me sites.

[Empedocles]

Hi, I'm new to the guild but for what I've seen it's by far the best forum for the ToW Series.

I'm having problems with the Fall of Rome mod (I believed to have installed the 2.1 version but in the upper left corner of the Menu I see 2.0, it's all right??)

Also when I play with the romans after the AD 458 my game crashes and go back to desktop.


Can anyone help me???

Thanks

Empedocles from Argentina
(Sorry for my English)

[Consul Flaminius]

I usualy have conquered 60% of the map by then, and accept a lesser victory.

[Empedocles]

Well, not every one are born with such wisdom for managing an empire. But don't worry, I mess it up when updating to 2.1 and now I can play it right.
By thge way, anyone had played in the earlier campaing (350 was it?) at the hardest level and won it??? I'll try it again, but civil war erupted while every barbarian attacked me.

Bye

[Consul Flaminius]

I tried that campaign but got fed up after 30 turns : , because there seemed to be a barbarian invasion every 2 or 3 turns. No civil wars though, I managed to keep the empire under control.

[Empedocles]

I am playing it now. The civil war erupted any way but except for MAlta and Sardinia I took back everything (but lots of building got destroyed in sieges).
The barbarians seems very quiet for me, except for the franks and the Saxons that are going to win me over Britain and the Visigoths that are building 3 big armys at my frontiers (I only lost Flanders,Austria and Croacia to barbarians).

[Consul Flaminius]

Consentrait on the Franks, But leave enough troops to defend britain.
