Title: Pyrrhic Victory 1.1

Pyrrhic Victory v 1.1

(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z217/comrade_general_2007/epirus.png)

Out of boredom and a desire to play as Epirus in RTW, I made this minimod over the last couple days.
And have now spent several more days updating it to include a new 'Egypt', plus many other small tweaks that enhance your gaming experience.

info:

- The Romans appear as a single faction; using the Julii
- Epirus replaces the Brutti, complete with skins and UI's
(They have the same unit roster as Macedonia, except get elephants with advanced trade buildings)
- Egypt has been changed to the Ptolemaic Kingdom, with new skins and UI's to boot
(Their roster is pike phalanx based, with Egyptian locals acting as auxiliaries)
- All factions are playable
- Complete text changes/additions to reflect faction modifications
- New maps for the campaign faction selection screen
- A few new settlements have been added, and a few others slightly modified
- New win conditions for several factions
- Changed starting territories of some factions
- Seleucids and Parthia use the correct indian elephant model
(This means the Seleucids only get War Elephants)
- Various other small tweaks

Download HERE (http://www.moddb.com/downloads/pyrrhic-victory-11) (size approx. 18mb)

Extract to your desktop and follow the readme. If you have the old Pyrrhic Victory, I would advise deleting it's 'epirus' mod folder in your Rome - Total War folder, as this version is drastically different.

This is modfoldered and will not affect your original game files.

known bugs:
For some reason,  obviously relating to the massive change to Egypt's infrastructure, when playing as any faction except Egypt you cannot double click on any Egyptian settlement. Doing so will swiftly bring you face-to-face with your desktop. All I can say for now is don't click on any Egyptian settlements unless playing as Egypt.

It should look like this:

Remember not to change anything inside the quotes.

Could you post a screen of the inside of your Rome - Total War folder?

Well everything seems to be in the right place This is very similar to a problem someone is having with Warhammer - Total War. That person has vista, and it looks like you do too. I am wondering if this has something to do with it, but I can't be sure, I'm only speculating on that.
