    Do not install any 1.1 "unlock all factions" mod. Such mods edit the file descr_strat.txt, which was also modified in the 1.2 patch. You will lose some of the patch's additions if you overwrite that file. Instead, modify it by hand—go to Rome - Total War\data\world\map\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt, look for the lists of factions at the very top, and add all factions you want to unlock to the "playable" list. If you want the maps, get them from a mod that unlocks all factions, but be sure not to overwrite descr_strat.txt.

    EDIT: Turns out I was wrong. descr_strat was not affected by the patch.

    Anyway, the pathfinding is distressing, but there are no glaring bugs other than that. If only something close to this were the original product, and CA's two patches could've dealt with pathfinding and opening up the game more to modders, RTW would be perfect.

    One good thing... the Scythian females no longer look like their faces were painted by Picasso...

    Crud, I didnt think about this. If someone could send me the descr_strat.txt, it would save me a reinstall, and make me oh so very happy. Either a PM would work. Thanks.
