ahowl11's VE Mod (Main Discussion) v19 New Map, New Factions & Unified Rome

[ahowl11]

Is it possible to have this animation for personnal use? I really dislike seeing phalanx fight with one hand.

Well you can at your own risk. Replace fs_spearman with fs_thp_f_spearman for everyone phalangite unit. The entries are in the descr_model_battle file

However, do not be surprised when the formation bugs out and breaks in half.

Make sure you don’t have an HRTW folder inside of another HRTW folder. Also make sure it’s in RTW Alexander folder, not RTW Alexander/Alexander.

[gamir97]

this is how it looks. I think that should be right but no. https://www.dropbox.com/s/otdd17nw8r...%20PM.png?dl=0

Is there another HRTW folder inside of the HRTW folder in the screen?

[gamir97]

no. inside the folder HRTW is preferences folder. inside it : advice file,keys.dat DAT file,player text document and preferences text document

There is the problem. There needs to be a data folder inside of the HRTW file that contains all of the files of the mod. Redownload the mod and make sure you are extracting the file using WinRar to your Rome Total War Alexander folder.

Thanx for telling to switch difficulty from VH to hard, I've been playing this game for so long that usually I need to to very hard to be challenging.

Also I have a problem the game crashes on me when playing Macedon, it happens right after winning a battle against Brutii in Apolonia, I take the city and it crashes. I have tried this 3 times now, and its annoying me. I'm thinking of restarting the campaign.

It only says Rome Total War has stopped working, without any additional info.

I already moved on from that part, I didn't keep that saved game, however the crashes keep happening anyway. Curiously, only after I fight myself on the battle map, it never happens when I automatically resolve battle. And only sometimes.

Is it after every battle or during battles where the enemy attacks you while you are besieging a settlement? If it’s the latter the game will crash when you take the city, this is a RTW bug. To fix this you must let some survivors escape the battle and then auto resolve the siege on the next turn.
Also after each battle wait about 30 seconds to a minute before exiting to give the game time to load. A lot of times the game will crash if you exit a battle too quickly. A good way to do this is to view your unit stats after a battle.

[Vesko]

It's not just after sieges, I've had crashes after normal battles too. But not every siege or battle, only sometimes, and I haven't been able to discern any pattern to why some and not others. Although, the scenario you mentioned does happen often.

I'll try the thing you suggested, about waiting for awhile after exiting a battle.
