Fall of Rome - Total War

What is the difference between the three files to choose from for download? I downloaded and installed the FoR 3.1 exe and got it working, but I also read that there is a version with a Heraclius campaign and I'd like to play that as well.

Anybody ever figure out how to get the 'Fall of Rome v3.0 Map v1.0b Created by NodachiSam, January 21, 2006' to show the Roman names on the campaign map. It's included in the installer from Belisarivs that is version 3.0/3.1 43.5 MB. While in the city building browser you can run the mouse pointer over the city and it shows the Roman name but on the campaign map itself it still shows the medieval names.

Interestingly enough, Pericles had the exact same problem and provided a fix in this post

Nodachisam's map file is in the (Game Directory)/textures/campmap folder, called MapTex2.tga, which is the high resolution version of the map.
Right there with it is the original game map called MapTex.tga, which is the low res version of the map.

As noted by Pericles, for some graphics card related reason, your game is defaulting to the lowres file - if you can't solve the reason why the game is choosing the low res version, one alternative is to do as he suggests and change the high res file to a low res version of exactly the same size. Not sure how he did it, but that seems to be the solution.

The third link in Baron's post contains Max's new campaigns, including Heraclius. Inside the zipped file, look inside the Loc/Eng/ folder and you'll see his original campaigns, plus several new ones. Not sure which is Heaclius, but just copy all the new ones into the same directory in your FoR game directory, and test them out.

Doubt anybody would be interested but I finally got 'Fall of Rome v3.0 Map v1.0b Created by NodachiSam' working and it really gives the game a better feel. YEAH!

I thought I had the map working right but it kept crashing. Seems when you resize the MapTex2, it must be exact. I got it close but not exact. If somebody wants to give it a try here's the link to the 'Fall of Rome v3.0 Map v1.0b Created by NodachiSam'. http://www.gamefront.com/files/25123495/FOR3.0_Map.zip

Pericles

Pericles is probably an alternative campaign but I've never tried it. Check readmes in each folder.
