Rome: Total Realism is what I use.

ER you forgot Extended Greek Mod for RTW

[Garvanko]

Thank you, Epistolary, Alexander, Blind King.

RTR and SPQR 6.0 look the most promising. I might try Terrae Expugnandae first, though.

I take it I need to uninstall BI first?

[Craterus]

That Terrae Expugnandae looks good. I'm going to download that sometime this week.

[Garvanko]

Thanks again, ER!

Its really good, Craterus. Just tried it. Looks great too - lovely skins. Downloads straight onto RTW, and you don't need to get rid of BI, either.

Here's a screenshot.

[Craterus]

BI didn't work for me. But I have got RTW 1.5 installed. It works for that, yeah?

I copied the RTW file and I have a mod installed on the copy (from a while ago). Can I just delete the copy and install this mod on my vanilla 1.5? Or do I have to uninstall it all?

[The Spartan (Returns)]

RTG is great. Id like to try SPQR and RTR though. (got dial-up take too long)

Yeah, as long a you have v1.5, it should work. Install on the vanilla 1.5.

Look at that shading!

[Garvanko]

It was raining in that battle - from the sky, it looked like a storm was coming.

No, RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6 run in parallel with each other, you can have a mod installed for 1.5 and a separate vanilla version of BI 1.6 (or even a modded 1.6).

BTW, use the JSGME mod enabler programme (link in sig) - easy way of swapping between various mods and vanilla.

Good catch - edited

I don't believe there's a 1.5 version of RTR available yet. I believe the latest release is for 1.2.

[edyzmedieval]

I want to try SPQR 6.0 next. It looks very promising. Downloading.

[Avicenna]

EB is definitely going to be the best (at least in my opinion) mod when it's completed. However, if you like story/RPG campaigns I think there's the first triumverate RTR mod.

[Stuie]

For RTW 1.5

The First Triumvirate v1.8
The latest version of this mod which provides different campaigns for each of the three men who led Rome during the First Triumvirate: Caesar, Pompey & Crassus

TFT v1.9 is out now:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=63917

One benefit of using TFT is that no vanilla files are overwritten, so you can try the mod and still play regular RTW with no messy file switchers or having to reinstall and such.

Gotta patch question...

If I am running BI do I have to patch RTW to 1.5, AND BI to 1.6. Or does the BI 1.6 patch cover both?

BI v1.6 should include RTW v1.5... but I've heard there are problems if you are using RTW Gold. To be sure, go to the options screen from the RTW menu and the version is displayed in the upper right.

Like the look of Terrae Expugnandae 4.0, downloading it now.

[Garvanko]

TE 4 was a bit buggy for me - especially the end turn CTD. Have decided to now try the Extended Greek Mod.

[Craterus]

What CTD is this, Garvanko?

[Garvanko]

Well it happened to me around 240 BC. Whenever I tried to end the turn, it would CTD. I tried it about ten times - couldn't continue my Greek campaign.

The Mod is great, but the CTD's occur far too frequently.

You should try the Extended Greek Mod, Craterus. Its excellent.

Does anyone know whether the Darthmod Formations would work with XGM?
