    I use the JSGME for switching mods in and out and i am really pleased with how simple and effective it is. You really dont even need a backup when youre working with it though I keep one anyway. It also makes updating to a new mod version much simpler.

    Silver Rusher also seconded Motion 6.7.
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.

    Some tips, after I have been struggling with a CTD in my Egyptian campaign :

    If you change you startup command to

    RomeTW.exe -show_err -nm

    It will 'try' to show an error message if RTR crashes. This usually fails, but it might be handy for people struggling with install problems. The -nm option skips the intro movie.

    Also, for those who get a CTD in their campaign. Reboot, load the game and turn fog of war off.
    1. ~ => console
    2. toggle_fow off
    3. ~ => remove console
    You can turn it of fog of war on after passing the critical moment where the CTD occurs with 'toggle_fow on'
    Save the game and try again.

    If it still fails and it fails during the AI's turn, set the speed of movement of units on the campaign map to slow ('spacebar') and save the game the moment the faction under which the crash occurs gets its turn. After the crash, reload, and try the new save. Chances are good the CTD will not occur.

    It might be handy to add this to the FAQ.

    Definitely. I'm sure econ21 will add you to the roster shortly.

    We now have three unassigned family members:
    Marcellus Aemilius
    Quintus Naevius
    Numerius Aureolus

    All are 16 years old and have good potential. Given that econ21's Quintus just died, it seems rather appropriate to have a new 'Quintus' available for him to take. Obviously he should have first pick of any of these new fellows, but I think it would be amusing for him to take up a second Quintus.

    That's why I invested in a Scriptorium when I was Consul. Good ancillaries mean a great deal when each of us only gets to control one faction member!

    Unfortunately, uploading to RapidShare is 40 KB/sec and with seven 75 MB files that's going to take some time, say 2 days.
    Then all the relevant mod files will be downloadable in a 7-part zip file from there.

    Patience, young tribunes, patience...

    p.s. By the way, that a really interesting avatar you have on the RTR forum, Tincow, throws a whole new light on my mental image of your personality

    That's the avatar I use everywhere but here. I tend to talk out of my ass, so I figured it was appropriate.
