    Unfortunately there are indications that it may not work because maps are processed differently from RTW (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post942653).

    So unless CA tells us how to generate the file map_heights.hgt the only thing that can be done is to add new provinces to the existing BI map. Which means maps like RTR, MM2 or EB won't work.

    GAH! Almost no modding! Gah! I guess i was wrong


    And for a BI era mod, I would never agree to giving the Sassanians a fraction of their land that CA gives. I just wouldn't be accurate. So I'd have to say, even if we wanted a later era mod, we should stick with RTW... But that's just my opinon.
    Didn't you have to axe everything and start over with RTW as well?

    i wouldnt say 1.3 but 1.5 or future patches (remember 1.4 is for BI)

    dont know about your incompatibilities but... pff, i wouldnt like to play BI (very historical accuarate) but very bugged to

    my opinion -> move to lattest patch even if this means delay the game to make new maps or etc

    Patch for updating non-BI RTW to v1.3 is now available. Given that it includes useful fixes, not the least of which is the (in)famous load/save bug, a lot of people who haven't bought the expansion are going to get it. I sure hope that EB can eventually be made 1.3 compatible. If it can't then I fear that many players (the non-fanatics who don't regulate the EB forums) will never bother to give the mod a try, just because they'd need to reinstall RTW to get back to 1.2.

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.
