Problems with R:TW GOLD

[Bongo_clive]

Hmmmmmmmmm, I'm new to the forum, so this may not be in the right place. Please excuse.

I just bought Rome: Total War Gold

I've tried patching it, with no luck. I've then tried to install EUropa mod, but it's having none of it.

I'm thinking that the GOLD edition is different to vanilla R:TW, I know it lives in a different directory.

Can anyone help??

No idea, but you'll get much more help in the RTW forums than you will here.

Moved.

I also bought R:TW Gold. It is the one that includes Rome:Total War as well as Barbarian Invasion. Mine installed both versions of the game (RTW & BI) and RTW was already at ver 1.5. You can see the version somewhere in the menu system of the game (at work now, can't check).

So, to answer one of your questions. You don't need to patch RTW. It is already at 1.5 unless you want to try out 1.6 (the latest patch I believe)

Hi,
My gold installed in C:/Program Files/The Creative Assemby/Rome : Total War. Just point the installer there and away you play. Good luck and cheers!

I can tell you that the Gold edition is resistant to modding it for "all civs playable" I tryed monkeying around witha 1-6 patch, then I tryed rearranging the civs in the directory as described in this forum and I still get the basic 8 I finally gave up, I wish i'd bought RTW seperate. Peice of donkey crap.

Perhaps you are searching the wrong folder IceWolf. R:TW Gold is in no way "resistant" to making all factions playable. I have done it several times with no problems.

To play as all factions (excluding the senate and the rebels): download this file and overwrite your existing "Rome: Total War/data/world/maps/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt". Cheers!
