Started a Numidian campaign. Best bet is to immediately attack Carthage. My army of 1 Numidian Archers, 3 Numidian Cav, and 2 Numidian Skirmishers defeated an army of 1 War Elephants, 1 Poeni Infantry, 1 Slinger, and 2 Citizen Militia. My archers did rout when hit by the elephants. I don't use Skirmish mode, because your guys run around like idiots when it is on. Wish the Numidian Legionaries took one turn instead of two turns to train. Carthage gave me a transgression warning, so I decided to make it official. Attacked Carthage, but had no general, so I withdrew when they sallied out. They gave chase, minus their general, so that is when I defeated them.
Are you playing on the most up to date beta with the large map, or the last public beta that we released?
I guess much like Nabatea, Numidia is pretty tough to fit into the RTW engine model with a realistic playstyle and "become Carthage" suddenly becomes an optimal, rather than a ridiculous, strategy.
Yup, I remember in RTRPE how hard it was to play as Numidia. I had a great few battles against them until I finally took Carthage. Campaign was easy after that
QuoteAre you playing on the most up to date beta with the large map, or the last public beta that we released?
Not sure, probably the last released one.
I was on the old one, downloading the latest one was something I planned on doing later and never got around to doing it. I have it on now.
Okay. Map looks a lot different huh?
Got it installed, but game won't start. Noticed the thing about admin mode, so I will try that when I get a chance.
Make sure you are playing from the RTRPROJECT folder instead of the rtrproject folder.
I am. I have the RTR install in C://Games/RTRPROJECTS/Rome-Total War. It still crashed. Message was "Failed to read censored dictionary file: data//chat_filter.san". Or do I need the Steam version, since my RTR was in Steam before. But since I am using a clean install and a downloaded .exe, does it matter? I don't have Alexander in the non-Steam version, only BI. Which reminds me, I need to download the no-cd crack for BI.
It needs to be Games/RTRPROJECT and that's it. RTRPROJECT should replace Rome -Total War
Got it. With college starting up again, I won't have much opportunity to play it, so for a couple of months I will be playing and posting less. I will try it tonight.
Okay sounds good
Tried it last night, same problem. I will have to explore it later.
I see another error. Make sure the directory reads C:/Games/RTRPROJECT
Then try it. Also if you've updated recently, the mod folder is now RTR instead of MM. So for the shortcut or steam launch options you should have -show_err -mod:RTR
Here is what properties says.
C:\Games\RTRPROJECT
Now the stuff in the folder comes from the CD version, where I don't have Alexander. Should I copy the stuff from my Steam folder instead, where I do have Alexander?
Well you have the Alexander.exe that you downloaded right? Also, you're not the only one who's had issues.. In RTRPROJECT delete both your MM and RTR folders. Then In Projects/rtrproject run the symlink batch file as administrator. Then in your alx shortcut make sure the target line reads -show_err -mod:RTR
