    Problem is, when you copy the folder it takes up 2 times the space. I don't have an unlimited amount of hard-drive space, so I only have vanilla + BI and RTR on my computer now. 6 would be far too much RTW to be healthy (if such a condition exists)

    If you're interested in RTR, be sure to get the Platinum Edition (or RTRPE) wich is built on the 1.5 version on the game. You'll have to browse a bit around their forum to find it. I find that the step from 1.2 to 1.5 was a huge improvement for the mod.

    Some points about RTR: don't expect to be fighting the Roman civil wars, there is only one unified Roman faction you can play. Cavalry has been rebalanced, they're more expensive now and they've got weaker defense so they can't charge infantry head on anymore and win, but if used with tactical sense they can be devastating. Personally I like having to use them more carefully more than then being able to charge them straight into a phalanx and still win. Battles are a little slower, overall units can be counted on to last longer than they did in the original RTW.

    I highly recommend it

    EB is good but it's still in the beta stage. It focuses a lot more on detailed historical realismthen RTR, so if you're interested give it a try. Their forum is on this site, check the hosted mods section.

    I like RTR Platinum (concept, units, etc), but Im not a big fan of the MM map. Its just too big, and there are far too many settlements.

    I eventually got round to downloading RTR. However, the size of platinum put me off quite a bit. I attempted to download it, but it got stuck at around 250mb (and thats with a 2mb broadband connection). I decided to settle with RTR Gold, and I've been blown away. Its just so good! I'm sure its nowhere near as good as platinum, but compared to vanilla its like heaven. I've currently secured the whole of the Iberian peninsula and am looking to head south into North Africa. I think it'll take me a while to get used to the tactics thing, as I'm still so used to just grabbing a large number of men and hurling them at the enemy. Cheers for the help and suggestions people have put forward on this thread.

    I suggest trying out Europa Barbarorum.
    Much better than RTR.

    I thought the latest EB was still in Beta stage.
