Installation:

CATW 1.2 is Fully compatible with STEAM (reworked from scratch for this in 2017).

1- Verify you have a fresh (unmodded) RTW 1.5/BI 1.6 or Alex 1.9 RTW version.
2- Unzip the catw05 file
3a- Place the file into your own Alexander directory, ie C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Alexander\catw05
3b- Place the file into your own RTW/BI directory, ie C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\catw05
4- Use the shortcut inside catw folder, just put it on your desktop

For STEAM users: Go to Steam, on the Alexander TW properties, then "Set Launch Options", then paste: -nm -show_err -mod:catw05 -noalexander
The mod will start each time you launch Alexander on STEAM.
On RTW/BI same story but -nm -show_err -mod:catw05 -movie_cam

Note: The folder is called "catw05" for those who operates other versions or catw (like catw 2.0) alongside.+

Next planned iteration: catw 1.2.4
