Link to Battle for Hellas: Rising of Macedonia by selecting a button and using the embed code provided more...
Ok guys, this mod is really really hard to install. I have installed 50 RTW mods, and this one really made me sweat like no other. But finally i made it work!! Custom battles and campaign working.
Listen and follow carefully:
In the next steps, installation software is in russian, in our foreign screens we will see strange text like this "???????&/%$%", etc...
Don't worry, you don't need to read that: there's two buttons (cancel and next), try one button (usually "next" button has an arrow ">" and usually is the button at the left), if you pressed cancel by mistake, now you know which one is "cancel", so try again and press the other button this time.
1) This mod only works when you have installed a previous mod called "Wind of East". Thus, first you have to install that mod. The link is here:
Internetwars.ru
Installing this mod you will not have any problems, except for the weird characters "???????&/%$%", but do as i said previously.
2) As far as i know, that mod "Wind of East" is not modfoldered, be careful. This means that the mod will overwrite some of your files in original RTW. Threrefore, you have to copy-paste the original RTW, rename the folder, and install "Wind of East" mod on that new renamed RTW main folder.
3) After step 2, notice that now you have a folder called "EastWind" inside that new RTW that you copy-pasted in step 2. Later you need to remember this path's folder.
4) Download this mod "Battle for Hellas: Rising of Macedonia". Installing this mod, unlike with the mod "Wind of East" you will have a problem, you get an error "I/O error 123". Don't worry, there's a solution:
During installation, you can see everything is being installed in temporary path, C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME (VARIES FROM COMPUTER TO COMPUTER)\AppData\Local\Temp in the folder "RarSFX0". Go to that folder (you need to show hidden files in windows to find the folder "AppData").
When you see in the installation window that the green bar reaches the end, it has finished installing all files into the folder RarSFX0. At this point, don't continue the installation or this folder will dissapear. Don't close the installation screen window, and go to the path:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME (VARIES FROM COMPUTER TO COMPUTER)\AppData\Local\Temp in the folder "RarSFX0"
In the folder RarSFX0, inside you will see:
BFH
bfh.ICO
rtwa.exe
5) Copy the contents of the folder "BFH" inside the folder "EastWind" that i told you in step 3 to remember its path. Copy bfh.ICO and rtwa.exe inside the new RTW main folder. bfh.ICO is the icon that you can put later in properties of the direct access file (this is optional). And rtwa.exe you will use if you don't have Alexander executable installed in your RTW folder.
If you have RTW gold edition, Alexander executable already comes with your game, in which case you don't need rtwa.exe
6) Rename the folder "EastWind" to "BFH".
After you are finished copying all these files in RarSFX0, you can cancel the installation. You don't need it anymore, because until step 6) you have already taken those files and pasted them in destiny manually.
7) Go to the new RTW folder, and edit the .bat file "WoE09.bat" with Notepad++ or any text editor that you have.
You will see this line
rtwa.exe -mod:EastWind -ShowErr
Change it to:
rtwa.exe -mod:BFH -ShowErr
8) If i didn't forget any step, Congratulations!! by double clicking in "WoE09.bat" you will play this mod "Battle for Hellas: Rising of Macedonia" :)
Now, optionally you can neatly create direct access file from "WoE09.bat" to your desktop, and install the icon bfh.ICO, etc... change the name of your new RTW folder to "Battle for Hellas: Rising of Macedonia", etc.... (Just as you usually do with other mods installations).
If after playing for a while i see that i like this mod enough, i will do english translation. I already did many translations for chinese and russian mods for RTW and M2TW, using google translator (i don't have time to do it manually) and the result is very neat. But i will need modders permission to upload it.
I hope this guide helps, at least it's working perfect for me.

By the way, the reason the mod "Wind of East" is not modfoldered, is because it overwrites these couple of files:
weapon_hoplite_pike_high.CAS
and
weapon_phalanx_spear.tga.dds
Maybe if you don't mind, you could just overwrite and live with it. It's not a big change in your main RTW game.
But if you don't care about those extra 4GB in your hardrive and you want your original RTW totally unchanged, then do it as i said in previous installation instructions.
Wassup man Ur mod looks hot and great, I want to install it but if I install it the whole setup Is written with ???? Like i want to press cancel idk which button cancel the setup is because everything is written with ??? And at the end I get a error please fix it I would love it to install also could U add English version please.
I guess you are getting the same error i have:
"I/O ERROR 123"
I don't know how to solve it.
The reason we have it written with ????, is because it's in russian. Anyways, just press the button that looks like it's not cancel. There's only two buttons, doing trial/error is not a problem.
The problem is "I/O ERROR 123". That's a big one.
How's the progress on the mod? It looks absolutely fantastic and I'd love to play it but the only thing getting in my way is that I do not know Russian. All in all curious about the state of the mod.
There will ever be an english version?
Waiting for that spicy English version!
What is the language of the game?
russian.
