In this version of my VE mod, XGM is fully integrated. You'll find brand new buildings, a way more in depth set of traits and ancillaries, a large amount of new units and a more balanced campaign!
The mod is much more immersive now. New special buildings, traits, ancillaries amongst a multitude of new and historically accurate units! Also, the game shouldn't be as crippling at the start!
- If you have an old HRTW version, you can try overwriting, but to be safe, delete it as this will not work with it. This version isn't save compatible.
- One thing that I need to be clear on, is this mod runs on the Alexander.exe not the regular Rome Total War exe. Please make sure you use an Alexander Install.
1. Download the mod
2a. (Steam) Extract the files to your Rome Total War Alexander directory
2b. (Disc) Extract the files to your Rome Total War Directory
3a. (Steam) go to your library.. right click RTW Alexander.. select properties.. select launch options.. put in this: -show_err -mod:HRTW -noalexander
3b. (Disc)Create a shortcut of your RTW Alexander exe file.. right click the shortcut.. select properties.. in the target line after everything insert this: -show_err -mod:HRTW -noalexander
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS, NOTHING WILL WORK!
Features listed in the forum or the latest article, once approved!
Thanks!

It's not working for me
What’s the issue?
When I try running it, it opens a box saying "Failed to read censored word dictionary file: data//chat_filter.san" and the game closes
Where are you installing it?
In the Rome Total War Alexander folder (I have the Steam version) just like in the instructions
I have no idea then, all you gotta do is extract it and put -show_err -mod:HRTW -noalexander
Nevermind, I discovered what was wrong. I clicked "extract to HRTW" when extracting and, thanks to that, when I put the file in place it wound up as "steamapps\common\Rome Total War Alexander\HRTW\HRTW". Already fixed that, so sorry for any inconvenience
Hey - I'm also having a CTD when I try to load the game. Getting the following error message:
Script Error in data/settlement_plans/barbarian_large_city.txt, at line 6, column 14.
File
data/settlement_plans/underlays/../../../HRTW/data/settlement_plans/underlays/barbarbarian_large_city_underlay.CAS does not exist
Any help as this is my first time trying to download the mod
Don't worry I worked it out. I had only extracted into the data folder and hadn't put it in the main folder - I'll leave this here in case anyone makes the same mistake
how can i add Sons of Zamolxis to this version? i overwrite on this version. i get ctd "Failed to open sound database!" and
"Script Error in HRTW/data/descr_sounds_musictxt, at line 281, column 24."
"Unrecognised culture 'nomad' type in character_vocal sample bank"
anyone know what can i do to fix this?
It's not possible as that's an old version, not compatible with the current version.
