- Right click on Rome: Total War in your Steam Library and go to "Properties".

NOTE:If your screen resolution is lower than 1080, you have to edit the preferences.txt (inside "...bi\scandza\preferences"). Set these two to your screen's resolution:
STRATEGY_RESOLUTION:1920x1080
BATTLE_RESOLUTION:1920x1080Depending on your resolution, you may want to disable the Widescreen setting (in advanced video options).
The mod is balanced for Hard/Hard difficulty and Huge unit scale.
