Would it be possible that you can update the patch and the english language fix as both files cannot be extracted.

Hey mate not the op but I have been using 7-Zip and I'm still getting the errors.
I'm packed archives with using 7-Zip.
I don't know, try redownload from another source (moddb, google drive, yandex disk in your taste).
its amazing mod good work,i have a problem, when I defeat the last city of the Aramean they appear on the map again with 4 armies full stack :(
Yes, it's a horde faction, like a Huns in Barbarian Invasion.
Okay, but is there any way to defeat them without them appearing again? a definitive defeat? Or they and the other nomads can not be extinguished from the game?
Ps: Sorry for my bad english
horde without cities can be defeated completely
Good to know hehe, thanks for the help
I'm getting an error which crashes the campaign when loading that says, "Filename doesn't exist: Bronze/data/models_unit/libian_warlord.CAS" I've confirmed that the file does actually exist. How can I fix this?
I have the same problem
The setup doesn't install a .exe file.
Description contain link to archived version of this mod. (for extracting use file archivers like 7-Zip or WinRAR or something else)

Mod won't launch. Get "script error in bronze/data/desc_sm_factions.txt, at line 37, column 1. 'horde_min_units': this feature is not supported"
Same error for another mod had the solution 'point to BI.exe not Rome.exe' but my shortcut does point to BI: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:bronze -nm -show_err
And that is where the BI exe is located.
So why is the error occurring? and how do I fix it?
Thanking in advance, Kai.
I had the same problem, but I found a solution from this page↓
Twcenter.net

Just one thing different is that in step 6, things you need to type there is
-mod:bronze -nm -show_err
I hope if it's helpful and good luck.
