Ah no, that's the console. The -show_err option has to be added to the program command line. What you do is you create a Windows shortcut to RomeTW.exe, open up its Properties, and on the line where it gives the target you add -show_err to the end. Anything on this line other than the name of the executable gets passed to the game at startup, and there are a bunch of options it recognises, such as -ne for running in non-fullscreen mode and -nm for running without movies.
