GEM - Graphics Enhancement Mod is a new shader collection (GEM) & a new injector (GEMFX) I implemented.
GEM also uses the SweetFX shader stack and is inspired by SweetFX/Enbseries to improve the look of TW-Games.
Before subscribing/downloading these files, make sure to also read the section License Agreements from TWC.
STEP BY STEP
1: Download the GEM file for your OS.
2: Start the installer and point out the location to your Rome Total War II folder (something like D:\STEAM\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\).
3: Run the R2 launcher and select the mod manager.
4: Check the _gem.pack file to load BM & CM changes.

Go to CeeJay.dk (the creator of SweetFX), Boulotaur2024 (the creator of SweetFXNext), Daniu (pfm .pack extractor) Mech_Donald (the creator of noHDR) and Huszar (the creator of noHDR with ContrastCorrection). Without them nothing of this would have been possible.
UPDATE GEMv6.1-HD, another huge update to GEM and EE.

This is a huge one (some from 6.0.1 test)

Hello, I cant download the mod, is there any alternative download links?
indeed, i have the same problem, the file "has been deleted and is no longer available" (said the web page after i click the link)
this is a great mod and i long to use it...
really need help
Having same Problem cant find This mod anywhere else.
I always liked Moddb for its Simple and easy downloading.
Steam workshop has a bad and Unreliable Downloading system.
Will this decrease performance? If I have an Nvidia 680 will it be worth the DL or will I lag with this mod?
Also, can I run this mod in conjunction with Divide et Imperia mod?
Thanks
you can turn off things like "vegetation" if it lags too much.
