    2. make sure you upgrade BI to v1.6

    -no core files will be overwritten, you will come out with a CLEAN, UNMODDED RTW&BI
    -a shortcut will be installed on your desktop, it will have the '-show_err' and a '-mod:ibfd' switch

    MAKE SURE:
    =no mods modify '...\Rome - Total War\bi\data' OR '...\Rome - Total War\data'
    =install v7.0 to the root folder, usually 'C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\', anywhere else would cause a faulty install



    This mod is compatible with other mods using a '-mod:' switch

    Default FEATURES

    the year is 410AD, the Roman Garrison in Britannia was shipped to Gaul by Constantine III, the usurper. Britannia, beset by raiding Picts and Saxons, asks for help from the Roman Emperor in the West, but was told to fend for themselves.
    The Western half of the Empire is beset by it's own troubles, aside from the Amy of Constantine III which had overrun Gaul, the Vandals and Alans have reached Iberia, the Visigoths are at the gates of Rome, the Burgundii at the borders. These Germans have been driven westward by a great host - the Hunnic hordes, sweeping everything in their path, they now stand outside the gates of the Lombardi capital, and will start inroads into the West Empire and the East Empire very soon.
    The East Roman Empire is beset by the Ostrogoths, also driven west by the Huns, and to the east the great Empire of the Sassanids, with their great cataphract cavalry. But the Sassanids are also being torn apart in the East by the Hephthalites, another great nomad horde.
    No one is safe, the world is in turmoil, there is no knowing how it will end...
    This is Total War! This is INVASIO BARBARORUM! Get it Now!!!

    Default VERSION HISTORY

    this version (v7.03) fixes the ff:
    -returned to v7 descr_sm_factions (makes the version savegame compatible w/ v7 & 7.01 but not 7.02)
    -aded in custom battlefields for wonders
    -placed the proper model for pedites bucelarii
    -added in Gothic/Vandal Artillery and Hun/Hephthalite artillery

    previous version (v7.02) fixes the ff:
    -is generally just a fix for 7.01
    -moved Hanging Gardens of Babylon
    -fixed the descr_strat causing disapperaing walls
    -removed a doubled unit in Caesarea Mazaca
    -fixed some 'eastern building' problems
    -made the 'no-scripts' option as default
    -returned the steppe swordsmen to make the version save-game compatible w/ v7.0

    v7.01 added the ff:
    -fixed vanilla Historical Battles (thanks to The SilverKnight)
    -new Historical battles (thanks to The SilverKnight)
    -added the stonehenge wonder and returned Hanging Gardens of Babylon
    -aded a Pictish archer unit
    -redid some of the Picts from ATW units
    -redid some descriptions for Germans (thanks to Swabian)
    -added in 'mud/earth wall' textures for Huns, Nomads, Eastern, and Desert Peoples, instead of the palisade
    -replaced 'tall wooden wall' with a brick/stone wall (still has palisade animations though)
    -fixed some units.
    -fixed the Bucelarii problem and now I understand why... normally a mercenary unit will use the 'mercenary texture' as default even if there is a skin available for the using faction. in the case of the bucelarii, they use the WRE comitatenses skin when the WRE uses them... waste of DMB but there it is...

    v7 has the following features, from version 6:

    Default Known Issues

    This post will be a listing of known/reported bugs and their status.
    Current version (v6.0)

    when the advisor pops up and asks for to start the script, i clicked the advisor and then the "show me how" button type deal that kills the current faction leaders.
    -this is not a bug, this was done to create a more or less proper family tree.

    The small Sea to the East of Jerusalem looks funky and glitchy (that just maybe my computer but ive never had problems with it before)

    Napoca is not on the east side of the carpathians mountains...it's on the west side in northen Transilvania...The other city "Colonia Dacia"(the name is actually "Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa" but we could go with the one u gave too as the city isnt relevant for this time period,it was abandoned long ago) a little bit futher east in the mountain pass.
    -noted, but as of the moment am not very concerned w/ map visual bugs.

    ...I started a campaign with the Constantini, and it was going pretty well but I ran into a pretty serious bug with their tech tree. Unless I'm missing a crucial patch or something, Constantine's boys can't build barracks structures beyond the 'Auxilia Barracks' .. This is a pretty crucial problem because it totally takes out the needed heavy infantry to carry on the fight against Rome.
    this was done on purpose, u need to capture a settlement w/ high level training barracks to be able to train better units - part of the challenge.

    Sarmatian Horde Argaragantes has no horse texture,
    this is one problem that is still vexing me. they DO have a texture in DMB and aslo default texture. but in my personal experience I played hun army1 vs ERE army2, sarmatians have texture; I played ERE army2 vs exactly same hun army1 and !!!! NO TEXTURE ?!

    They are not recruitable ...... why????
    -Comitatenses Armatus - they are recruitable only in Asia Minor (modern day turkey), Palestine, Armenia. starting from version 6.06 they won't bre recruitable in Asia Minor, too.
    -Elephants - Sassanids used mercenary elephants exclusively and did not actually train/raise their own, the elephants are available as mercenaries in the east. there is still some contention whether to change this but as of now, until more compelling evidence is made available, they will remain unrecruitable.

    CTD durring battle against Constantine Empire. I can autoresolve it just fine; but I can't fight it which takes the whole point away.
    Caligula81 also found this fix, but I think somebody also did before.
    change 16bit stratmap and battlemap resolution to 32bit

    i can play custom battles but when i try to start up a campaign it ctd with out any error message.I re instalt it for 5 times and it still ctd.
    probably one of the first few errors to have been reported and fixed.
    Some video cards cannot handle the strat map models. DL the optional 'revert to CA' file in the downloads section and install. included is a 'revert back to IBFD6' file w/c will revert back to IBFD models.

    thanks for the bug reports.
    Please report the bugs in the discussion thread
