I've tried to install Warhammer Total War by following the instructions in the readme, but the program shortcut failed. I thought I did something wrong so I reinstalled the game. Would someone be able to help me install the mod please?
Also, does the mod need any expansions? I am currently running Rome without any other mods or expansions (haven't got any of them).

Thanks!

You need RTW 1.5 with no expansions.

The main WHTW folder goes directly into your Rome - Total War folder so the path is Rome - Total War/WHTW/Data/[other files]
Then make a shortcut for Rome - Total War as normal.
Right-click it, hit "properties".
Where it has the path, go right to the very end and add -mod:WHTW
Then it should work.

Unless you're using steam, in which case there's a different way of doing it.  :P

Ok, I'm looking for the 1.5 patch right now. It's been a while since I played the game and I haven't got any of the patches yet.
I'm not using steam.

There's one from fileplanet labeled 1.3-1.5. Is that the patch needed?

What version is your game now? If it isn't already 1.3 or higher then you need to install 1.3 before doing the 1.3-1.5

The game hasn't had a patch (got it before I got broadband and I haven't played it in a while) so I'll go get them now.

Mudkipz

Ok, the patches are installed. Should I move the folders into the Rome - Total War folder next?

Jubal

Yeah, now do the stuff I said in the order I put and it *should* work.

I've done the things mentioned and gave the game a test run. It works!
Thanks for the help!  ;D
