ExRM for RTR PE 1.8

ExRM-3.0.exe

Ave, RTR-PE player!

Candelarious has moved on, but his mod continues. With the release of Rome Total Realism: Platinum Edition 1.8 and with a whole faction slot free, there was no way we could leave well enough alone. This release integrates the final version of RTR-PE (v1.8) and tQst's Epirote add-on into what we hope will be the suitable conclusion of the Extended Realism Mod.

Besides the upgrades of RTR-PE v1.8, this mod features a number of skins by the masterful King Louise Asshurbanipal (Chaeonian Guard, Carthaginian Sacred Band and Liby-Phoenicians, Greek Hoplites, and possibly some hypaspistai if we ever get them working), Tarentine Leukaspides by MFF of the Hegemonia team (courtesy of the Iberian: Total War team), descr_mercs price and mercenary pool rebalancing from Quinn Inuit's MightyMiniMod, an amazing amount of editing work by Sheep on export_units (and several other files), the Epirus research of AndarielHalo, and Promethean + -mod switch integration by Iamphet.

To install, just download and double-click. It should automatically find your install directory, but if it doesn't just select it. It will then install the -mod switch version of RTR-PE 1.8 + the ExRM onto a clean copy of RTW 1.5 or BI 1.6. (Note: you can also do what I did and install it onto your copy of RTR-PE 1.8, but I can't promise that will work. It's worked fine for me so far, though.)

We hope you enjoy this mod as much as we will.


Sincerely,

The ExRM Update Team

This update was a team effort start to finish.

Quinn Inuit organized it and replaced the Senate faction with Epirus, refusing to let his complete lack of modding ability get in the way of finally getting to play as Epirus.

Iamphet stepped up and did most of the actual hard modding work, integrating the ExRM Promethean edition with RTR-PE v1.8 and consistently meeting any problem with skillful coding and clear thought.

AndarielHalo, Goddess of Absolute Physical Perfection, channeled the ancients of Epirus to do a lot of great unit R&D. The Epirote Faction is much more well-developed for her work, and any weakness in it should be laid solely at the feet of Quinn (who wasn't always able to implement her unit ideas).

Sheep came in and did stand-out beta testing (which mostly consisted of chasing down Quinn's screwups), and then went above and beyond in his impressive rewrites of several key files, notably Export_Units. He also slightly altered the 4tpy mod to allow Romans to continure building military experience while consul.
