Our First Release!

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Due to some issues we have been having in getting the mod completed we have decided to release what we have completed so far. This unfortunately does not include a campaign, however if it sparks people's interests we still hope to continue work.

The file is a 50mb download that is 150mb when extracted.
http://www.users.on.net/~roehr/RTW/CTW/Citadel.rar

[Shark974]

Just extract to your RTW directory, then create a shortcut to the RTW executable by right clicking on it and selecting "Create Shortcut".
Find the shortcut you have just created, right click on it, and select "Properties" and then add -mod:citadel to the target (making sure it's outside of any quotation marks), so you should have something like this:
Target: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:citadel

We have a lot of units, factions and music ready to add to Citadel but we have not a scripter that can do it. If you like the demo and want to help us post on official forum.
(Updated the instructions to be a little more detailed - GPM)

What is this for?? Is it BI or vanilla and what patch?

[GodsPetMonkey]

What is this for?? Is it BI or vanilla and what patch?

I have only tested it on a BI install, but it uses the vanilla exe (which is at v1.5). So in theory it should work on both, and any patch from 1.3 up.

[Hack & Slash]

HELP!!
I think the file may be corrupt. Upon downloading (several attempts) I am only getting a 16,290meg file.

Thanks.

[Ciaran]

What´s up? Chivalry releases a beta, you do... is this year chrismas in June, or something? Not that I´m complaining, of course...

The download worked fine for me.

So is this mod dead? That would be unfortunate.

So is this mod dead? That would be unfortunate.

its more a zombie than dead. I have been trying to put all that stuff in a mod folder.

[Darkvicer98]

Even though it died ages ago, its still a pretty good mod. Just need a modders touch to the download and you can play it.

[Help, I've Fallen and Can't Get Up!]

After installing this, are you still able to play RTW vanilla? Whenever I try and start rtw I get an error message that says, "unable to load mount database"


oh, and when i play citadel it is almost impossible to move around the main menu, its very...lagy. is it fps?

other than that the mod runs fine

please contact me at: whoami08721@comcast.net

or on AIM as whoami08721

if not, then ill just check up here every day


thanks in advance

I'll post the answer here then other users of the mod can see it and perhaps solve a few problems of their own.

I also can't play vanilla RTW or BI anymore. But that is not a problem since the installation of the mod only adds one file to your Data folder. It is very easy to disable that file when you want to play original game.

The file in question is called patch_1.pak, and is located in ''Your Main Rome folder''/Data/packs.

The way I do it is to have two Data folders, one with the patch_1.pak file, one without, and simply rename them at will. If I want to play original BI/RTW I rename the Data folder with the patch_1.pak file to something else that the game won't use, usually something like DataMod, and the original Data folder is then used. If I want to play the mod I rename the original Data folder to DataOrig, and the modded Data folder to Data so then that folder is used. It's that simple. Most probably you could do it by simply renaming the patch_1.pak file itself, I haven't tried that but it should work also.

Be sure to download and install the music patch, it's great, adds a whole new depth to the mod. It's easy to install and bug free. Contains some period music and (in my opinion) better battle music than vanilla RTW/BI.

I hope you enjoy the mod and feel free to post screenshots if you feel like it.

[Help, I've Fallen and Can't Get Up!]

Thanks Yggdrasill, thats one problem down. Ill go download the music pack tommarow.

My main menu still acts wierd though. Anyone know why?

[JuliusCaesar]

U two should download the JSGME. It allows u to switch between mods and vanilla RTW easily. Follow these instructions (from scriptorium):

[dogblade27]

hi guys, im having some trouble with this mod. I extracted the files to my RTW directory and then changed the target line on th RTWBI shortcut. when the game loads i see the intro moving but it crashes when it stars to load, and something about protection error. i have patch 1.6 installed but the only thing that might be a problem is i installed the patch after i extracted the Citadel files. i also tried installing JSGME and using that but the same error occured. i would appreciate help because this mod looks very good.

[DochtorGajo]

Not very sure about but I wasnt able to run menu screen in vanilla and it was very laggy as well and AFAIK reinstalling windows media player should solve it it at least solved for me.

[paradamed]

Played the mod. Very cool. The music gives a dense medieval atmosphere to the mod. The firearmed units work pretty good. The AI uses them well. I will be waiting anxiosly for the full mod. With campagin map or not I hope you release the other factions and some historical battles as well. You did a pretty good job.

Hrmm my version just tabs out as soon as it gets to the menu screen fo rno apparent reason its still running but it never quite loads the full screen before tabbing me out. I'm urnning vanilla RTW 1.5 patch jsut with the citadel mod.

A known bug is on the main menu due to background movie (I have it on my desktop but not on my laptop, it is probably due to video card), when you click shortcut you see CA and Rome introduction movies, then our Citadel loading screen, before you see the main menu Rome crash and you see an icon on bottom bar. You can solve it in this way:
go to menu folder (ex: C:\Activision\Rome - Total War\Citadel\Data\menu)
change this file Dump0000.m1v with the same of Vanilla Rome (you can find here ex: C:\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\menu)

[raikitsune]

that worked thank you very much! excellent mod lads i do a bit of re-enacting from the war of the roses period and this caputres the feel and look of the battles very well.

[methoz]

and next version?

[raikitsune]

and next version?

ah have i been silly is there a 1.6 patch

[raikitsune]

no wait 1.6 is BI rather than regular RTW ummm so still no joy here.

[Wladyslaw IV]

[Archaeopterix]

[Matteo]

I'd like to try this MOD, can someone tell me what is the latest version and how to install it?

[BroskiDerpman]

This mod has been long gone. For Rome Total War mods I'd check out this link: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forum...-Modifications

[Matteo]

I know that link, but I'm trying to make a list to try every RTW MODs, if it's playable, obviously. This one here is pretty old, I know, but I'd at least try if it's possible to play it. So, can you help me?
