Life after RTW

[bedlam28]

I haven't downloaded mods yet, as im nervous about doing so.
I'm not technical when it comes to software manipulation and whilst not so simple as to change the name of the windows directory (again ) I would hate to lose all my current semi-successes with a game crash.

Can us mod illiterates mod safely ?

Can us mod illiterates mod safely ?

The really big mods tend to come with auto-installers which take the pain out of it, and if you managed to install the game, you'll be okay with the mod! The easy way is to start with a clean copy of the basic game, copy it to a new directory and install the mod on the copy, renaming the directory to match the mod. Put up a new short-cut on your desktop and away you go.

If you do stumble into the woods, there's lots of help and guidance available in the hosted mods sub-forum, so no need to worry - it's what the smiley was invented for.

Thanks Macsen and everyone,

ahh the lovely lovely icon.
I need to hold it close, like the knife under my pillow, or the chariot under the window of my latest conquest (incase of early husband arrival).

When it all goes horribly wrong and my computer ends up like a gang of AI equites running headlong into a phalanx, I shall be back here icon at the ready.

To be continued i am sure....

"All right ... all right ... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order ... what HAVE the Romans ever done for US?"

Ahh, I love the Life of Brian. Great movie, if you can get past the often quiet dialogue. Typically brilliant Monty Python dialogue, though.

I myself am a member of the Popular People's Front. Those splitters.

oh, its all gone horribly wrong...

Dont worry I havent done anything stupid with the mod's...yet, I'll destroy my programming at a later date.
Nope my laptop (where I play TW) has died a heroic death. The power connector has detached itself and my laptop fought the good fight, losing power but still killing those damn Egyptians when ..
The last breath of Toshiba...

Because I could not stop for Death --
He kindly stopped for me --
The Carriage held but just Ourselves --
And Immortality...

Hmmm, I wonder if I can sneak RTW here to my work computer.. If my boss spots me I'll tell him its a screensaver

Modding for Idiots (me) shall be investigated if operation is successful and Tosh is revived.

Roman Tombstone:
Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler.
But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your way.
There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon,
No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus.
All we who are dead below
Have become bones and ashes, but nothing else.
I have spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler,
Lest even while dead I seem loquacious to you.


P.S. Good taste Danfda, good taste.
