The newest edition of the RTR Public Beta is here!
Option A
1. Extract the RTR folder to your RTW directory or if you are using steam, your RTW - Alexander directory
2. Go inside the RTR folder and Click RTR Start to play!
Option B
1. Extract the RTR folder to your RTW directory or if you are using steam, your RTW - Alexander directory
2. Right Click on the Alx.exe and create a shortcut
3. Then right click the shortcut and select properties and put this in the target line after all quotations: -show_err -mod:RTR
4. If you are using steam, Go to your RTW - Alexander folder and make a shortcut of the exe file, and then follow step 3.
5. Play!
- If you are using the non steam version but want to run it through steam, go to 'Add a game' then select the Shortcut you made in step two and name it 'Rome Total Realism'
With this version we have a feature where you can play custom battles and multiplayer using a trimmed unit file to only offer you the faction specific units.
The other unit file can still be used for custom battles, but it will contain many units that aren't fit for your faction (Britannic Swordsmen for Parthia).
If you want to play custom battles or multiplayer and not have to sift through tons of units, double click the EDU-battle batch file in the RTR folder.
However, if you are going to play a campaign, YOU MUST make sure that you hit the EDU-campaign batch file, or there will be issues with recruitment.
Have fun!
Thanks! Your mods are always amazing.
Thank you so much!

Hi.
How you can play online with the mod?
I believe so, you can only try!
Awesome mod man. thanks a lot.
No problem!
Hey there hows you folks today am having with my reinstalling this to my Alexander files i dont know where i should be putting them from win rar every time i try to start a campaign it goes to a ctd error can some one help lease i think am on the right track just need a wee bit help cheers great game btw checked the videos :)
any help would be thankfully appreciated
Just extract the .rar into your RTW Alexander folder if using steam, and your RTW folder if using disc version.
Cant figth theres an error ''Failed to find texture '/textures/UNIT_STANDART_GAUL.TGA'
I have Rome total war gold + Alexander on steam.
There's a fix to this in our Bug thread at twc
Twcenter.net
game crashes when trying to play historical battle of carrhae
We will look into it, thanks :)
also is it a bug or is it on purpose that peasants cost over 8000 to recruit in the campaign?
On purpose so the ai doesn't stack spam them :)
FOUND A BUG. carthage is beseiging messena (town closest to italy mainland in sicily). so i marched a small relief force over the land bridge. starts battle and it freezes.
i then restarted the game marched the small relief force without a general still freezes. the battle map has a shoreline if it helps and yes i have installed the patch
some thing wrong with the area around messena maybe? anyway i just autocalculated the battle to get around it
okay theres something really wrong with sicily. i captured a town from the carthagianians. the one closest to carthage and begins with an "l" and it crashed right after. cant wait for a stable release until then it's back to greek extended mod for me
The first bug is due to the fact that your army can't cross an ocean to fight a battle, that's the one bad thing about land bridges.
The other bug is interesting, does it crash every time?
no not every time. but i soon realised that i failed to correctly install the patch (facepalm) maybe that is it? anyway i now always save before doing seige battle.
another thing that happened was when i autocalculated that battle near the landbridge, this "man of the hour" thing popped up but i cant accept or decline for some reason as my cursor turns into that hourglass. i eventually pressed escape. but damn i missed out on an opportunity to gain a family member. further more i tried sallying out the garrison at messena yet it still froze?
P.S. i never tried out vanilla (always played with mods) so apologies if some of the bugs i mentioned were part of the base game and not the mod
a small suggestion (you probably planned to do it in the full release anyway.
its probably beneficial in custom battle setup for the factional troops of the selected faction to appear in the first few rows rather for troops of all the nations scrambled together like it is now.
The area around messana and rhegium is buggy due to the land bridge so always auto calculate if an army has to cross the strait of ocean to get to the battle.
In your RTR folder double click the EDU battle batch file and then try custom battles. However you must double click the EDU campaign batch file before playing a campaign. We made that option to make choosing armies for custom battles more easier.
would it be fine if i rest an army for 1 turn after crosssing the landbridge then engage the enemy? because lets face it only a player led halfstack can win against an enemy full stack
Yes as long as it doesn't have to cross it to actually battle.
maybe i'm just unlucky, playing as rome just made peace with carthage a turn earlier. i end my turn, waits for all the other factions to take thier turns. it's carthage's turn. then it crashes. approximately turn 20.
and yes i have double clicked edu campaign file
We have been having that error occur randomly as well and we are looking into it.
does it occur with only rome or other factions as well? planning to play as the iberians
Happens with macedon as far as we know.
Please can someone tell me how to find/move character via console,
currently playing as Pontus,
tried to find them in descr_names.txt in RTR folder, but all of the names are like PON100x (Pontus)
Thanks!

hi
It doesn't work for me. I've done everything it's asked me to.
If I try way 1, it can't find ALX.exe, and if I try way 2, it fails to read 'failed dictionary file Chat_filter.san'
I then copied that file into the data file which didn't have it. It then launched, but only as Rome I. It had a provincial campaign option, but that was just Rome I imperial campaign. There was no change. Can anyone help?
ah, never mind. Found out how to deal with it. Great mod guys!
How did you fix it?
