hahaha cool! i'give it a poke, sure whats the worst that can happen?

Test changes regularly and take a backup first. And if a portal to Chaos opens up, run like hell.   

[uzgobdamighty23]

Ok so the way it looks i will have to rename the traits and make them species specific. Do you know whether or not a limit exists to the number of character traits? cheers!

[Jubal]

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a limit somewhere - but I suspect it's pretty high and I've never heard of anyone bumping into it.

[uzgobdamighty23]

hey there are two notepad files for the buildings: export_descr_buildings and export_descr_buildings_good any idea which one is should modify/use? Cheers

[Jubal]

export_descr_buildings - the other one is an earlier backup.

[uzgobdamighty23]

Apologies about the recent silence! ive been busy with coursework! I had another question: When i edit the export_descr files it tells me the name of the trait or ancilliariy but doesnt tell the me the exact effect of said trait. Where can i find those? Cheers! I should have my first version ready soon!

[Jubal]

There should be versions in the text folder that do the names, and similarly but slightly differently named versions in the main folder that have all the details.

Hello, I am having some trouble installing the mod. I have done step 1 and am encountering some trouble in step 2. I created a new shortcut on my desktop and I put in the location of E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\WHTW. Then I right click the shortcut into properties and I type -mod:WHTW into the location area so it know says "E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\WHTW-mod:WHTW. After I click reply it says  'The name "E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold\WHTW-mod:WHTW specified in the target box is not valid. What have I done wrong?

If this confuses you a detailed step by step instruction of step 2 would be great because honestly I found the installation instructions very vague

I think you need to put a closing " after the path, then put the modswitch command after that. You also don't need to specify the modfolder in the command line, only in the switching command.

"E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Rome Total War Gold" -mod:WHTW

Ok, I did that but when I launch the shortcut all I get is the normal rome total war stuff. When I made the shortcut I put in E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold for the location and instead of one appllacation a whole folder popped up instead. I should mention that I am using windows 7 and steam

[Jubal]

Oops, yes, you probably need the .exe file in the path as well!

[Hiero]

So I would put this in the location line?

"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold.exe" -mod:WHTW

When I am it is saying the name "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold.exe" -mod:WHTW specified in the target box is not valid

[Jubal]

Um, you need the name of the .exe file, "Rome Total War Gold" is just a folder.

Should be something like:
"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\RomeTW.exe" -mod:WHTW

(But you might want to check the filename).

I'm having the same problem as Hiero. I'm starting to suspect that I've misunderstood step one, so I took a screenshot of my Rome:Total War folder. Is the mod folder in the right place? Do I need to rename it?
