Limes, with the new map I have to start the campaign over or it will work with the older savegames?
Another: are there any buttons which help me marching my army without breaking up the formation? (I know that they will keep the formations which can be chosen in the UI but what if I set up a whole different formation?)

Win XP SP3 (will be a win7 in the next two weeks), 1,5Gb RAM, ATi Radeon 9600Pro

Limes, you never cease to amaze with your talent. All this work with ports is simply amazing.
Thanks Salvor. You're still nice guy :). I'm getting older making new features for AEE, but it'll be completed soon (excluding new map which is part of quite new look on AEE. With new geography game play looks thousand times better than before. I'll bet it'll beat Shogun2 ;);).

Hi Dany. There are two maps under construction. The first one is complete version of AEE beta map. This map will include new rivers, historical sites, etc, etc. Second one will be "one dollar add-on" [We (Me and S.P.Q.R have to earn few dollars to keep and develop this forum)]. It's part of new look on AEE, with new ideas and features. I'm afraid that both maps will make your old campaigns not playable.

Hi Guest.

Thank you for kind opinion. There is too much regular work on AEE that makes me ill. So, I'm trying not to think about mod-folder engineering. :)

Hi. If you can't start campaign your installation is not ok. Make sure that every step if installation is exactly like in instruction.

It looks like you've installed AEE in wrong folder.

I'm on-line so you can inform me about problems. I'll try to answer soon.

Hy there limes !!! Im new to both this forum and mod.Till now Ive tried many different mods (more or less worthy to play) but exclusively those hosted by total war center net.I dont know how could I ever missed this mod but anyway Ive downloaded and install it (inclusive the patch 1.3) but Im not sure that it had been installed corectly.I would apreciate if you could answer me to several questions :

1.Ive got ROME TOTAL WAR GOLD EDITION which includes Rome Total War and the expansion pack Barbarian Invasion(I saw it is already patched to 1.6);where and how should I install the mod and that patc 1.3 ? My RTW folder looks like this:

BI(folder)
custom
data
Miles
preferences
saves
temp
2 TGA files
Gamespy internet shortcut
gamespy icon
another icon
a dll file
RomeTW exe
RomeTW-BI exe

2.Which factions are reskined cause Ive tried to play some custom battles and besides rome carthage and epirus the units are those from Total Realism ?

3.The environments are change too or are those from vanilla or total realism ? I saw those environments preview, they will be in a future release or are they in the mod?

and whats more important

4.Which is the latest or newest released version of this mod and when can I expect the newest?

Answer 1.

Installer should do everything automatically. But if you need answer, AEE should be installed in "data" folder (the one below "BI" and "custom" folder).

Answer 2.

You have to try. I don't speak about "movies" before watching :). Mainly Rome, Carthage, Epirus... Different factions got their own stuff. Many factions have RTR skins. Hard to say... :)

Answer 3 i 4

AEE has its own environment. It was made independently from other mods. There is new original environment (ver.1) in AEE version you can try. Different than RTR and RTW. Whole AEE mod you've got consist AEE Grand Campaign (ver.1). AEE Grand Campaign (ver.2) will be released for some time. It's hard to say exact date.

Next version of AEE Roman Wars Campaign (new environment, new map and new look on AEE matters) won't be available so soon. It's experimental platform for AEE Grand Campaign and SuperMod itself. First I will release AEE Grand Campaign and finally AEE: Roman Wars Campaign as probably the last my mod.

And I'm so busy that I've forgotten to say: HI Agathodaimon :)

Wow that was quick thanks for replying so rapidly .I was just editing my profile and when I came back to this topic not only that you give me a satisfactory answer but also I have noticed that
you were interested to seee my profile :shifty: How come you are so busy???Im just kiding... Anyway you told me that the mod is autoinstaling and I should not have problems with the location but at my first install the mod was autolocate simply in the RTW folder not in the data folder that you sugest me. AND by the way in the previous '' questionaire" in which I ve tried to put all the possible issues sistematically ( sorry for that but it comes from my LAW vocation) Ive forgot the most ''difficult'' one THE BLOODY SHORTCUT. It is right to keep the one that appeared on my desktop (that like a blank page) or I need to EDIT another one or the given one ? And regarding the '' coment of the movie you didnt saw" I ve tried some battles in this mode cause as I was saying Ive installed the mod but Im not so convinced that ive done it corectly; the units that Ive supposed they are from RTR they had the UNIT CARDS like in this mod (at least you can confirmed this) and I esitated to play with those factions but probably they were quite different...

Wait a minute :). Ok, I,m back...

I'm busy because of making new stuff for AEE forums. You must be lucky gun not to be here earlier :):). All web art is put on forum just right now :).
Talking about installation is harder than install itself :). I said AEE should be installed in "data" folder and that's right. Installer shows: creative assembly/Rome-total war. Next folder whare AEE material is stored is "data" folder. In any case it should be :):). Of course fresh RTW install which will be used must be first upgraded to 1.6 BI patch.

When you're sure AEE folder (with "models_unit" and "models_strat" and "sprites" within) is inside showed previously "data" folder it means - ufff, ok :):).

BI shortcut.

Make shortcut of bi.exe you've got inside folder described by you above (the one with BI, custom, data, etc.). Right mouse button on bi.exe and "create shortcut". Then edit it like it's shown in instruction.

Hey, Limes..you still here?

After taking time out for Darthmod Empire and waiting for the unmitigated disaster that is Rome 2 TW I decided to sneak back and see what you were up to.

I downloaded the main AEE files to Steam but I'm looking at the Hotfix and I'm not sure if this is right.

There does not seem to be much in the "Data File" Is it supposed to look like this?

Hi Spart. Long time...

From what I can see everything is ok. Data folder consists different sub-folders (left on the picture) and AEE folder (located in Data folder) is ok too.
