Rome Total War: Will It Ever Come Out?

edddeduck said:
That sounds like you have a damaged install in some way, if you contact support (or even me via PM with your email) I will get someone to look into it.

As usual the support report etc is best when emailing in, helps us look into your installation in more detail (and find out what is wrong).

would re-installing help?
email sent


Although this irrellevent to this thread, Imperial Glory will that work with a GMA X3100 card, I tried the demo but it wouldn't work BUT in the make your play book it says it works :/ just asking as it is a substitute of sorts for Empire TW
+mini ninjas and brothers in arms look epic :D
 
Looking to future

Would you decision makers at Feral ever consider doing of package of older games like Pharaoh and Caesar III?
 
I hope everyone's enjoying the game!

Yes, soon. We want to make it a Universal application though, so it runs on both PPC and Intel Macs, hence the delay.

Given the age of these games and similar setting to Rome (and the fact as Caesar III did get a Mac release, as brop52 pointed out), I think it'd be pretty unlikely. But if enough people ask we'll add it to the list of possibles!

This. Waiting for this to happen before I buy. I'm a graduate student, so I don't have a lot of spare time. If I'm going to use it on a game, I better know it's good first...

Of course, there's always the possibility that it will significantly delay graduation, like Starcraft threatened to do with my Bachelor's back in the day...
 
Gameranger on RTW

Ok so ive got rome total war on my mac (finally) and am loving it... but when it comes to playing online im not having so much fun. i have downloaded gameranger and it seems to be working perfectly, however i can never seem to pick up any rome total war servers. i asked some people in the lobby on gameranger and they said that there were 3 rtw servers active... i can pick up servers for other games on gameranger just not the one i want. any help would be appreciated.

Mods and activating them

Hi - this is really directed at someone from feral- i sent them a mail but to no avail
what is the correct procedure to get a rtw mod working on the new mac version? I noticed the enable rome shell checkbox and advanced options dialogues on the startup screen...

i tried copying a mod dir into the root folder and entered "- mod:EB" into adv options string then ran rome.app
I noticed that something was different- my savegames from the vanilla version werent visible anymore- so i think im headed in the right direction...?

can you spill the beans ian?

We we have seen a few rome emails coming in and they have all been answered so PM me if you don't get a reply soon as I suspect you might be using a wrong email (or a subject that gets spam filtered).

As for Mod's usually it is a data update (depending on the PC mod) so I would made a new data dmg with the modded data in the correct places.

I hope to try and see if we can get some installers for the popular ones but as mods are not an officially supported feature (as we cannot control or test the content) it is a lower priority than the PPC patch right now.

Don't worry it's the same for me basically means no one else is on Gameranger with a rome total war server, i'd suggest you host your own server and see if other people will join.

RTW manic, yer reinstalling did help, but it occurs again if I go online (theory) so online gaming is a bit of a no no as I hate having to reinstall again and again:cool:

You should never have to reinstall unless your installation is damaged, contacting support via the built in email address if you still have trouble.

cool- can you expand on this?
is it possible to have a couple of mods running concurrently with vanilla rtw?
if it is then how do i activate a specific mod? do i use mod:switch in the advanced options?
or do i have to overwrite the data dir?
is there a list of the advanced options flags or commands?
any further instructions gratefully received :)

Sorry I have way to much stuff going on to suggest anything right now, but as I said if you mess about with the data sets etc and see what happens. I have not run the mods in months but if you edit the files to match it all should come together.

The Mac game is the PC final patch so look about PC sites for clues, end of next week I might have a bit of spare time to write up something.

Thanks! It is definitely above and beyond, but that would be great. I was really wondering how I could get the realism mod to work, so far it has been an epic fail.

Also, I wanted to thanks you guys at Feral for the great work that this Mac version has turned out to be. Being a mac gamer is so frustrating sometimes due to the many lazy ports out there. Really, I'm I don't care that the release date kept getting pushed back because the game works right and is a quality product.

Especially, I'd like to thank Sylvie Alusse from the webstore, and Edwin for keeping me informed on the status of my order and quickly resolving the one shipping issue I had (due to my own error). Finally, thanks to the development staff for bringing us the awesomeness which is Rome: Total War to Mac.
 
Ugh

I've gone to an apple store a few times and they keep saying that they'll be in stock soon. The wait is killing me. Once I do get it I'll be posting videos of gameplay on youtube. Once I have it I'm gonna post the url for my account right here if anyone feels like watching the way I slaughter the Romans :D
 
Great Feature

Since Feral included an "Unlock all playable factions" option in the pre-game menu, you can now use any of the playable factions right away without having to beat the game or mod the game files a bit.

Britannia here I come!

I'm guessing that's your favorite faction.:D Mine is Armenia just because cataphracts are awesome
 
Crash!

Has anyone else had a problem with the game crashing? I'm playing BI as the Franks and it seems like conquering the Saxons is highly frowned upon. the game just quits to desktop with the typical crash report.
 
Thank You.

Ian and Everyone Else at Feral,

Thanks so much for a great port! I love this game!

I already sent an e-mail to nudge you guys along in the right direction here, but here's my forum post to do the same: bring on the rest of the Total War series (Medieval 2 and everything since)!

Again, regardless of how things go there, many thanks for this. Quality stuff.

Hey deadwulfe, best thing to do is to contact support (support AT feralinteractive DOT com) and let them know you've been having this problem, that way we can see if it's a bug in the game or a problem with your install. :)

Quick Question

I've just picked this game up at the Apple Store on Regent Street - looking forward to giving it a whirl, having never played a Total War game before! Actually it was this thread that made me think of looking for it - go MacRumors!

My quick question is - reading through the manual before I get home to my iMac tonight - the manual mentions ways to replicate the mouse wheel on an Apple mouse. Will I just be able to use the context-sensitive finger movements on my Magic Mouse? That would be great if possible!

Thanks
Stuart
 
But, if you sack the Saxons, who else is going to unleash the hurricane that is the Romano-British on the British isles?
