Hi and welcome runeslaye123,

How do i download this mod or any other mod for rome total war?

You can download the great EB 0.81a (latest release) here. May I ask which other mods you wish to download?

Where do i put the download at?

You can place the downloaded file where ever you like, although placing it in "My Documents" is what I always do, just open it up and follow the instructions. If you are having trouble installing EB then this guide by the great Tellos Athenios could, hopefully, help you.

Will the download erase any of the saved game or other thing on my game?

Don't worry! EB does nothing to your saved game data in your original Rome: Total War. EB uses the mod switcher extension so it doesn't overwrite any Rome: Total War files excluding the original loading bar - so you can play the modification and the original game at the same time.

How do i play the mod in the game?

Simple! Just open up EB through the shortcut on your desktop and away you play!

If i download more than 1 mod, will it affect the other?

This depends on which modification - modifications that also use the mod switcher extension will work in almost total harmony - the only problem being that the loading bar may be messed up in the one that you installed first. Modifications that don't use the mod switcher extension will not work with any other modifications for that game. In that case you either have to copy and paste your Rome: Total War folder or use this handy tool - the mod switcher - to make them compatible - the former is easier if you have plenty of hard-drive space yet, if you don't, like me, then the mod switcher will be easier.

Good luck, cheers!

(Make a back up of your newly installed RTW. To do so, create a new folder outside of the folder which you installed RTW in, and copy your RTW folder to that folder. Now, you basically should have two folders containing the whole RTW install) said by Tellos Athenaios.

Do i need to do this step?

Hi again runeslaye123,
The step which you have specified, although I would strongly recommend that you follow it, is not critical to the EB installation. Yet, however, it helps you quite a bit if you mess up the installation by providing you with a good working back-up copy that you can rescue - this saves you from having to re-install vanilla Rome: Total War right from the beginning again.
