    Default RTW 1.5 Patch File List?

    Has anyone made a 1.5 patch file list?

    Here is what I see so far just perusing through changes I can easily see:
    RomeTW.exe (obviously)

    DATA Folder
    export_descr_buildings.txt
    export_descr_unit.txt
    descr_items.db
    export_descr_character_traits.txt
    export_descr_ancillaries.txt

    Sounds Folder
    events.dat
    events.idx

    Pack Folder
    patch_1.pak (new file)

    Animations Folder
    pack.dat
    skeletons.dat
    skeletons.idx

    Are you sure about the descr_strat? After installing the 1.6/1.5 patch my descr_strat seems to be no different from my modded 1.3 descr_strat...

    I think you are right. I must have misread that one. With the way the patches install, and sometimes cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled, I end up putting them on top of the original folder, then looking for parts that have changed among my own edits...not the best way to do it. I much prefer patches that unzip somewhere first...so I can see exactly what is happening.

    Did a binary diff of the 1.3 and 1.5 DATA folders - this is exactly what I see.

    There were also a whole bunch of item files copied. I trick I usually use is to cut the data folder and paste it somewhere else. As long as the exe's and perhaps a few other files remain the patch will run and you will get the files in an otherwise empty data folder. Rename that folder, copy the old files back in a new data folder and then copy/paste the new patched files back.

    I still don't understand why a company, that advertises the moddability of its games, has to have an installer that doesn't simply let you select the folder in which the patch is installed.
