naa, too good to be true.
I guess you mean team up with AI controlled factions.
Still great

Hehehehe, read the docs included, and specially the official thread in the .net, as CBR does ;)

[Steppe Merc]

Grr. It keeps on freezing when it tries and loads the battle. It was on winter too...

[Spartiate]

H'mm.............seems to have been removed


OOPS...........sorry.I have it now.It's on the updated page.

For me it seems like changing the starting positions can freeze the game when loading. Otherwise it´s very good.

[alioven]

Yep, for example you could make a starting point just in middle of a non-playable zone which can lead to a crash. There can be a lot of factors that can make the demo crash, after all, this is brute modding, and not a custom battle made with an official CA editor, so weird settings just fail...

I can't get this program to work for the life of me.

It goes in and I can load it up, adjust all troops and the like then hit F-10, nothing ever happens when I hit F-10, so I try "R" and I get a patch/error or some crapola message and I've tried 7 or 8 times already grrrr.

I'm intrigued MiniKiller, when you hit F10 the scenario is loaded, just press esc twice. Start the game using the icon in the Mod. Selecting battle of Trebia will start your game scenario. I get error windows sometimes, ' texture does not exist ' etc, I just close them and the game loads and plays ok.

Hope this helps

By using the icon in the mod? u mean in the activision folder? I've been loading the icon off my desktop.

[Encaitar]

Well that's just a shortcut to the rome.exe file in the activision folder, so it wouldn't matter.

[Nelson]

alioven, this is a fine utility. Easy to install and easy to use. I've had great fun with it. It takes me back to the days of playing the Shogun demo.

Thanks a lot!

[Spartiate]

Okay i now have it working.Sometimes however it freezes on the loading screen.It's great when it does work and i now find i am getting a better feel for the game.The speeds while still annoying don't seem so bad when you have to cross a huge map first.

[Stormer]

Very impressive, all we need now is a random army selecter, that would be real cushty.

[Tamur]

MK, my first thought would be, where have you put the executable from the zip file? That would explain the doing nothing. Make sure it's in the folder with the demo executable.

If you mean by "doing nothing" that it only blanks the screen out for a moment after hitting F10, then you're getting the "something" that needs to happen.

???? dunno, I've never had any problems with it, been a great tool.

[Spartiate]

All it does for me is to remove all the units from the trebia battle but does not import any new ones.I'll mess around with it later as i was more than a little drunk when trying it the other night.

[Silver Rusher]

Wow, this is brilliant!

[MiniKiller]

K well I finally got it to work yesterday, logged off for the night and tried to do it again. I had to refind the autoexe thing but neway after I got that going and set up my men and load the battle it always boots me to dekstop, everytime now god damnit.

Minikiller,

I can't get it to work either. I unzipped the Mod into the installed (and working) Rome-Demo folder. I can then see the Interface, toy around with it and I guess it does save via F10. But when I load the Trebia Battle it just freezes the loading screen, no error message, and after about 5 minutes I have to press the hardware-reset, cause nothing else responds.

Same here. Guess I'll go back to being patient and waiting for the actual game to be released.
