Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion- A few problems and questions

**Thrillology** · April 01, 2012, 12:13 PM

My problem for Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion-
My game version is 1.6, but it still says my game is outdated on multiplayer. To find the game version, I went into "Settings" and it says in the top right corner of the screen what version your game is. Mine says 1.6. (I got the game from a company called White Label from England, which that disk has prankware on it -.- , so this might contribute to the problems).

My question:
Are there any mods out there that allow you to play as the emergent factions properly? What I mean by properly is that you can play as them, but you have to wait for them to emerge before getting to start playing (or the game skips you to getting to play them in their proper time of emerging). This includes: Romano-British, Western Roman Empire Rebels, Eastern Roman Empire Rebels. I want to play as them with them properly emerging and playing at their proper emerge time.

Thanks for answering the question and problem!

And I'm likely returning to the Total War Center forums. ;3

I wish there was a button that bumps your thread up to the top of the page instead of having to post.
(ignore this post)

I don't think the emergent factions can be played properly, you basically have to start out as a horde, instead of "emerging".

All those factions will emerge only if the conditions are right, Romano British emerge when there are no romans in britain, rebels are, well rebels and you cant really know what what they will do.

only way would be giving those factions a province in the startpos (thats what it's named in napoleon, no idea what the name is in Rome

You don't need to give them a province, so that they basically are a hoard faction then...

I remember seeing a post about how to play as an emergent faction where you have to keep ending turns until the faction emerges for you to play, but I haven't been able to find the thread after 3 months of searching, and now it's been 6 weeks of searching and so now I decide to make a thread to ask about it.

I hope someone will be able to help with being able to play as the emergent.

Thanks bonez. Just what I have been searching for, for a many months.

Now to update BI to 1.6 (again p.p) then play!

Thanks again.

+rep to you.

No problem, next time try searching google if you can't find anything here.

The links were dead on the forums, but I did happen to find the download link manually!

Now, can I get help on why my game settings says Barbarian Invasion is 1.6, but when I go to Multiplayer, it says it's 1.3?
