Modding for BI (regions, start positions)

**Gisela** · 10-24-2005, 21:07

Hi all,

as many others I think that there are too few regions in BI. I love a map with much cities and so i decided to mod a little for my own fun. Perhaps someone is interested in this.

Facts:
- since now over 20 new regions
2 in Ireland
2 in England
1 in Denmark
3 in spain
1 in Gallia
4 in Italy
4 in Greece
2 on Balkan as a gift for the Goths
3 in Asia Minor (included Rhodos and Melite)
2 around the black sea
Most of them are rebels, 2 to the celts, 1 to Saxons, 2 to Roxolani

I also have changed the start position of the vandals as I think their way to spain is by far to long ;). Now this hord is starting in the sout-west of spain in order to make trouble for the western empire. I have only commented this positions in descr_strat.txt, so you can change it back.

One thing: The mod is made for the german version of BI, but I hope it works also with the english one. I will try to add some screens soon.

For tomorrow and the following days I will try to add some regions in North Africa, Germania and perhaps some in the far east of the map.

aehm ... sounds pretty kewl, but is there any place to grab u´re files ?

That's quite a cool idea

I'd look forward to that if you ever released it as a public download, and yes, I agree, BI has few too regions. needs more, since the late Roman Empire was quite fragmented

I'm looking for a place to send the files. I will keep you informed.

Upload it to the uploads section of the .org, then give us linkage!

Hello Gisela.

It's always good to have more regions as opposed to less. If you were to add more, I think you should at least break up the Constantinople region between Adrianopolis and Constantine's city.

**Gisela** · 11-05-2005, 18:07

yes i want to add more regions near Constantinople, but for now I have a space to place screens and the files for the mod.

The new map

The regions for the Goth and Sarmatians

New regions in greece

Northern Italy

Surprise for the huns ;-))

Vandals feel lucky in Spain

and here are the files you need for the mod.

This file you have to save to

C:\Programme\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\text

or in the corresponding directory of RomeBI

http://www.offtopica.com/rome/tulliu...ment_names.zip

Then you have to create a new directory named "Tullius" in

C:\Programme\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\world\maps\campaign

in this directory you have to place the following files

http://www.offtopica.com/rome/tullius.zip

(Filesize ~5 mb)

In the game now you should be able to choose provincial campaign with name Tullius. Enjoy.

Any suggestions are welcome.
