Extended Cultures V release. Lots of unique units, new factions, buildings and traits, and the new level of immersion! Merry Christmas everyone!
Extended Cultures V installer.
Installation instruction:
1) Once downloaded and unpacked, you will have two files. Run XC_5_1.0.1.exe. The rest of the process is automatic. I'd recommend choosing Seleucid Satrapies and BI.exe. When the installation is finished, a window "Completing Extended Cultures Setup" with Finish button will appear. Press Finish.
2) For person who use Steam BI, follow instruction in Moddb.com to run game as you could not launch it through shortcut on desktop given by installer.
3) Download and install Extended Cultures V Cumulative Patch: Moddb.com if date of update is newer than this installer. This will be included in the fixed installer version soon!
Sorry for a minor inconveniences!

Kids got their christmas present this morning. I got mine as well.
Is it mod foldered? I mean it won't mess up other mods, will it?
It is mod folder.
Great mod, love the great trait system as well as the mod's atmosphere:
vanilla with a touch of realism, both when it comes to the units and environments :)
one remark: units often act weird in the hands of the AI: horse archers do suicidal charges and sometimes AI missile troops don't attack if your whole army is composed of heavily armored troops. Also unit animations and unit behavior are kinda glitchy sometimes.
Thank you for feedback, we will try to improve it in future patches.
Merry Christmas and happy campaigning!
Is this mod applicable for RTW ver.1.51 ?
Mod requires either BI or Alexander to be installed on your PC.
It made me an error at barbarian units so i try to reload this.
Please report if you find any issues after reinstalling
Script Error in data/desc_factions.txt, at line5, column 21 rebel unit type 'barb peasant slave' not found in unit_db
You probably installed it wrong. Are you sure you pointed the installer to Rome - Total War folder? Because there's no such unit in descr_rebel_factions.txt
+1
bug exists (see later comments on page 2)
Pasteboard.co
Problem is failure of extraction during "succesful" mod install.
Prove - ingame folder size of xc5 - 30 megabytes.
Try redownloading the installer, Suppanut updated it at least 4 times since first release, the bugs with corrupted files should be purged already in latest version.
Please read 2nd page.

This truly is an epic Christmas present! Thanks.
D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold this is the installation that i made.
Correct, so does the mod work after you reach the window with "Finish" screen? Press finish, then close the window with "X" button and try to start the mod with a shortcut on desktop.
Also, what were the options you selected during the installation?
Please use small "reply" button near my message here to answer. Thank you.
i chose seleucid satrapies and BI exe also the shortcut doesn' t have a picture it is only white.
Are you using Windows 10?
Maybe you need to run installer as admin? Also make sure that you unpacked both files from archive as they are both used during the installation obviously.
now bro it make me an script error in xc5/data/desc_sm_factions-txt, at line 88, column 1 horde-min-units this feature is not supported
This is very strange. Could you join our Discord and find me or Suppanut? We will try to solve your issue online.

Your problem likely due to you try to launch mod by steam BI with shortcut instead of steam launching mechanism.
In case you play with steam BI in gold version, you have to launch it by change steam launching condition and lanuch BI by steam application.
i have the same problem, i changed the launching script like it says, but it still doesent work, what is more, i select the launch bi option but it still launches the normal rome
help :C
This is because Steam BI.exe is altered compared to the CD version. It no longer directly launches the game but runs Steam launcher instead so the game ignores shortcut options.
Here's how to avoid it and make mod work:
- make a clone item in your Steam library, by using "Add game..." feature of Steam and pointing Steam to his own BI.exe.
- now in your Steam library you will have a clone of your Barbarian Invasion game. You then can right click this clone in the list in Steam, select "Properties", then "Edit launch options", and then when a small window with a dialogue box appears, just type there (without quotes): "-mod:xc5 -show_err -nm"
Save the options and run this clone copy of BI by pressing Play in Steam. That's it!
thanks, now it launches , but it still complains about the horde min units and crashes
Resolved by making a backup of Steam BI.exe, replacing it with exe from CD version of the game and starting the game from shortcut on desktop.
And where we will find the exe file from cd? I have the hord error as well and cannot start the game. It launches to loading screen
Here you go Yadi.sk
-1
totally this is not the case of badlaunching, not-that-versioning, steaming game, or missplased game-mod install
proved by blunt error try method - people not doing wrong
installation itself going wrong
IDK reason why it abrupt on partial install
P.S. thanx for active user support to all creators

Hi Lanjane, i initially planned to launch catw 0.8 today but you were faster ! ;)
Excellent mod, i'm following it since the beginning, just downloaded, i'm about to play this version. Merry Xmas to the team !
*nb: Eager to discover Tukhara and your sub-campaigns system...
Hi there! Merry Christmas!
What about joining us in our Rome - Total War Modding Community Discord? Will be happy to see another modding face here :-P
Will do, that's for sure !
Amazing work you've done, especially on the map, can't recoignise this good old MM, and it works on Alex (when chat.filter.san is in data) as well.
estoy esperando el catw 08,gran mod igual que el xc5, es la mejor navidad que e tenido
como pongo bi exe
English please. Could you explain your problem in detail?
as I install with bi, exe.
great mod wait a long time, thanks to all the xc team
Sadly I have a problem installing while I try to follow all the steps; do you think it might be because I'm using Steam and Steam versions of R:TW and BI are 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 instead of the required 1.5 and 1.6 versions? Installer detected it, although I don't know what else I can do.
Hi! Come to our Discord (finally ;-P), we will help you solve this problem online - Discordapp.com
steam BI need to be launched by using steam app with launching condition to load mod. Or you would have to do some complex process of rename exe file.
omg haw the **** u run this mod i open this mod but the game dont give me play
Please be more polite here. Describe your issue in details. What is your game version, are you using Steam or CD version, what were the installation options?
The best and quickest help you can get online in our Discord.

RTRPE II (1.1 Patch Released!) link dead
RTRPE is a different mod which has nothing to do with Extended Cultures V, sorry. Ask the link uploader.
Hi Lanjane, Suppanut and Crazyroman,
Thank you for your work you put into this mod and for sharing it with everyone! We really appreciate that! We have lots of fun and also learn something about history and geography ;).
I would like to report a ctd: I was besieging the parthian capital with baktria as before commencing the battle there was a ctd due to an error with a persian axeman. Unfortunately I do not have more data, but I'll report If I find others.
Again thank you for the hours of ur life u put in this masterpiece ;)
Have a nice holydays!
(P.S. I'm very looking forward to the new version of the barbarian empires ;) )
Thank you very much for a kind feedback! If you could provide a savegame before the CTD it will be the best help. I'll look into the issue as soon as possible.
