    Cheers USMCNJ, this mod was something I was waiting for.

    Two questions though:

    1) Is it correct that this mod is only playable as a short campaign? (I can't seem to choose between a long or a short campaign; short is default) Or does this mean I have done something wrong/forgot something?
    2) In North Africa there's a city called "lol Caesarea"?

    Thanks for the mod!

    1)it should be only long campaing
    i think as of now it ends after you conquere 100 cities. I have to change the code to 180

    i've tested it and conquered over 50


    2)the city is actually "IOL CAESAREA", but i din't use all capitals, so it actually apears as Upper case "I", lower case "O" and a lower case "L" which looks like "l"
    I don't know that much history about that part of the world, but in maps i've used to make this it is always present.

    Thanks. And sorry for the silly questions.

    Another thingie.
    I loaded a Julii campaign yesterday. Assaulted and conquered Segesta in turn 1, and moved another small army towards the rebel town south of Patavium.
    But when I hit the 'End Turn" button, I got a CTD?
    I tried to play a few turns in other savegames (both modded RTW as vanilla RTW ) and they load fine.
    Is this a bad coincidence, or does it ring a bell and can you help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    i've done about 10 hours of testing on current version, never had a CTD my self. probably just a coincidence.

    however, make sure that you have deleted the map_heights.hgt from
    \data\world\maps\base\ .

    i resently reinstalled the game and forgot to delete this file the mod did not run at all.



    progress note: I;ve renamed all province, to what i believe to be the corect name. I've added some trade resources to the map (like silver to carthago nova).

    i've had to completly redo the whole trade map. so now what ever resources you see on the province map, is what that province can trade.

    it should be up in a few days

    Dividing Latium once or twice helps the Senate to construct some very large and up to date stacks for the late game. I wonder whether that number of cities in Greece is simply a path to an even more overpowered Brutii faction.

    Hey I downloaded your mod because I like these kind of files and I have a few comments to try and make it better. First I really like how you divided the Italian peninsula. I haven't seen it done any better by other mods. Second, you went way too crazy on the greeks dude. That is way too many cities. I know you wanted to represent all the famous historical cities but you can't just randomly start throwing them everywhere. And finally some of the names are off. I know you will take the time to fix that eventually but I just thought I would point out that you should probably model the names of provinces off of the game. I don't think they intended to name things i.e. East Pripet. They have things like Britannia Superior/Inferior. Just some suggestions. You don't have to listen to any of them but I think they would make your mod better.

    Okay, I will delete this file and try to run the game again later this week.

    I think that amount of Greek cities is fine. And overpowered Bruti? Bruti is always useless when I play, they get smacked by macedon.

    They get smacked by Macedon? I find that hard to believe. With the amount of money that gets generated by having so many provinces under your control, it should be extremely easy to build massive armies and crush Macedon. Or the opposite, they build massive armies and it is impossible for you to get a foothold in the greek world... I still think there are way too many provinces in the greek area. I admire the work though since I have tried doint the same thing only to have my game crash innumerabl times....
