Installation
1. IMPORTANT TIPS
-
Mod requires RTW-Alexander file RTW-ALX.exe to run!
Download it from
here and put to RTW folderBefore you proceed with the installation, make sure you have RTW-ALX.exe in your core Rome: Total War folder, otherwise the mod will not workYou don't need full Rome - Total War: Alexander installed, just the .exe file. I'm sorry that I couldn't provide this file along with the mod files, because it's violating the rules of Twcenter.net
- There are two separate mods here: original
Lanjane's Barbarian Empires full mod and standalone expansion
Barbarian Empires: Hellenistic Legacy. They are using separate modfolders and won't conflict each other. Also they have a full russian translation included in the file

Rome - Total Music is strongly recommended!

5. OTHER TIPS
-
Most important!!! To avoid engine bug which is known as occupy/enslave/exterminate CTD, use the following trick: always play with "Follow AI movements" ON in the game menu, and when you just won a big battle which should result in conquering a settlement, quickly press Esc just after post-battle loading screen when you return to the campaign map and save the game before occupy/enslave window appears. Usually this trick will prevent the CTD in 99% cases.
- Try playing with NTCore's 4Gb patcher (LAA enable for RTW-ALX.exe), as it is reported to help with big mods though it may not be required.
- Initial building costs and construction times are high, but they can be progressively decreased by building trader buildings first. Use it as an advantage! Also use generals with recruitment cost discount traits as governors because unit recruitment costs are high too (not upkeep costs though).
- There's a game engine bug that will show unit info pictures white if there's more than 40 units available for recruitment in the settlement in campaign. This bug is pure cosmetic but annoying yet you still can view unit info pictures correctly in building tree browser tab, when you click latest stable/barracks/missile building in a tree and then right mouse click on the first unit string in the unit recruitment list.
- ne option from the shortcut is about Borderless window mode. If you don't like it, or your video card/monitor doesn't support that mode or it looks weird for you, remove -ne from the shortcut properties. Example:
"C:\Games\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:NL -nm -show_err -noalexander. The game will run fullscreen and will rescale to fit your screen correctly.
- If you are using multiple Rome - Total War mods, you can add them all to Steam with different launch options. Just use button "Add a game" at the bottom of your game list, then "Add a non-Steam game", then found in the list and select Rome-Total War Alexander .EXE file from Steam version. This will allow you to launch the same Steam EXE with different mods, having full benefits of Steam overlay, game time count and screenshots.
