I love total war, adding Z's where not necessary and building mountains out of my enemies' skulls.

Hiya mate, loving the mod so far only a couple issues...

1) The battle camera seems to pan really slowly when double clicking on a unit card or the unit on the battlefield and moving via the arrow keys will interrupt the camera whilst it's moving to that selected unit, not that big of an issue since I can click on the ground or map and move the camera that way, just a slight annoyance.

2) CTD's are still a problem for me, only on battle start sometimes and seemingly at random with no obvious trigger or error message, none yet after winning a battle or taking a settlement (previous versions and vanilla would crash often when exterminating a settlement etc). Will do further testing and report on issues where they appear and send my PC specs if you wish.

3) Not really a problem exactly but I'm curious on your choice to remove the families and turn the Romans into one huge faction? The way I see it this will make late game post marian gameplay too easy since there is no civil war? The way I see it Roman gameplay would almost always follow this trend...

Early game - cheap troops that are pre-reform and low-ish morale so it's entirely possible to lose to factions that peak earlier but have a lower power ceiling.

mid game - just after reform the challenge would be to supply your front lines with new upgraded troops.

Late game - Civil war, other roman families are often powerhouses late into the game, julii ruling most of Europe, Brutii ruling most of greece and the eastern provinces etc.

Again, loving the mod so far when everything works it is simply the best but CTD's were a common problem even with vanilla so I always save often and Rome has the luxury of a favourable autoresolve!

My only other problem would be that Carthage ironically leaves Carthage grossly undefended so it's easy to blitz it! Total war AI has always been sorta derpy though so it's not a game breaker lol.

Not sure why Rome 1 crashes so much, the engine just seems to struggle on modern hardware I think and I've tried running on only one core but to no avail. This might just be a "me" problem though and the mod is good enough to suck up a CTD here and there, it's only painful when playing Parthia/Scythia where you have no hope of autoresolve to get out of a CTD scenario, heroic victories are a must if you want to play the faction well.

Can't find this mod anywhere, shame nobody seems intrested anymore as this is my favourite period in history but nevermind. The links either don't work or take me to a chinese website with forkingandcountry as the name. Well screw this back to vanilla med2 I guess.
