Hi all . We all hated how ugly vanilla BI looked . So one day, i decided to enhance it's looks with units from an old russian mod, Pax Barbarica . Now, with this mod, all units look cool and pretty and also it fixes various other things and enables some other things . Hope you all enjoy this mod for BI .
Main Features
- Enhanced looks for pretty much all units
- New units for factions with limited rosters ( Saxons, Berbers, Celts ) and for all factions too .
- All factions available for playing in campaign map, with it's faction map in selection screen, faction leader icon and faction description .
- Officers and standard bearers for all units including mercenaries and rebels
- Pantheon for Paganistic Temples .
- Lost skins inside BI folder finally will find a use , Skins for saxons, celts,nomads etc .
Installation
1. Unpack content of the archive to your Rome - Total War folder. A folder bi-vanilla-mod will appear inside your game folder, near EXE file. It won't interfere with any of vanilla files and will not overwrite anything. This is a modfolder required for mod to work. It needs BI 1.6
2. Either just run the Executable.bat from inside bi-vanilla-mod folder, or make a shortcut manually for RomeTW-BI.exe on your desktop, right click for Properties and add the following to the end of the "Object" field:
-show_err -mod:bi-vanilla-mod

Hey
I just wanna post this because I had a problem starting the campaign, and also a custom or quick battle; it's just that it doesn't let me to do anything, I wanna start a new campaign or something else and I can't, and when I close the game, it sends me a message saying this:
Script Error in
bi-vanilla-mod/data/world/maps/campaign/barbarian_invasio
n/descr_strat.txt, at line 22, column 1.
Expected start date of campaign or battle.
Does anyone knows if the text has an error, or is it just the patch version of my Rome Total War BI version?
If anyone knows a fix for this, please reply, I really don't know the cause or causes for this error.
Thanks for the attention.
