Version 3.36
Compiled by player1
Requires:
v1.5 patch for Rome: Total War,
or v1.6 patch for Barbarian Invasion expansion pack
Introduction:
This is compilation of fixes to various bugs that can be found in Rome: Total War and its expansion pack Barbarian Invasion. Many of the fixes were not originally my ideas, but ideas of other members from gaming community that I compiled in one unofficial patch. Since unofficial, it is in no way associated with Creative Assembly, Activision or SEGA.
Bonus downloads (work with all 3.x versions): Just run installer included in the archive. . List of fixes for Barbarian Invasion Campaign -Fixed Mercenary Bucellarii unit model, so it will fire crossbow properly -Fixed a problem when first solider in the group would be missing transparency info for his textures (units affected: Hun General, WRE Imperial German Bodyguard, Pictish Crossbowmen, Chosen Archers) -Made Burgundii use correct barbarian general model for their generals and captains (new textures added) -Fixed the bug when Berber generals used black sword on strategic map (fixed textures added) -Fixed missile attack sounds for Celtic and Sassanid slingers, so it doesn't sound like bow fire -Fixed voices for campaign map and battle events for Hun faction, so they'll be barbaric like all other voices they use (units in battle, general speech), and not Arabic -Added missing voices for Scorpion unit -Added missing cantabrian circle ability for Mercenary Sarmatian Archers, since Sarmatian Armoured Archers, as well as all other horse archer units, already have it -Added +1 experience bonus to Vandal Steppe Warriors trained in Royal Stables, since otherwise Royal Stables would have no benefit over Warlord's Stables -Fixed bonuses for Bodyguard, Charioteer and Elder Senator retinue members, so they'll actually give bonus/penalty to Influence and not only affect public order -Added anti-traits to some traits to prevent weird or impossible combinations -Added description for 3rd level barracks for Berber faction (export_buildings.txt) . List of fixes for Imperial Campaign -Fixed shoulder armor for Legionary and Praetorian Cavalry (fixed models added) -Added warcry ability to Thracian Bastarnae, since Mercenary Bastarnae already have it -Added +1 experience bonus to Greek Cavalry trained in Greek Elite Cavalry Stables, since it makes no sense to build Elite Cavalry Stables just to get Incendiary Pigs -Fixed the issue with Numidian and Spanish governors not gaining priests as their retinue members -Parts of Energetic line of traits tweaked, so they won't get worse at higher levels -Added anti-traits to some traits to prevent weird or impossible combinations -Added hotfix to formation for light cavalry armies, to prevent generals getting placed at same tile as other infantry (descr_formations_ai.txt) [This message has been edited by player1 total (edited 04-26-2006 @ 10:13 PM).]

Changes in export_descr_buildings.txt file:
-Changed experience bonus British Legionaries gain in Urban Barracks from +1 to +2, since otherwise Urban Barracks would have no benefit over Army Barracks

-Removed anti-traits for Intelligent line of traits, since characters shouldn't be able to lose intelligence over time
-Removed the trigger for gaining IndecisiveAttacker group of traits when ending turn in enemy zone of control, since trigger does not work as intended (it can fire even when you can't attack the enemy, or when you are besieging)

-Changed crushing victory condition in triggers for GoodRiskyAttacker/Defender line of traits to clear or better, since winning difficult battles with just clear victory is great accomplishment on its own
-Removed the trigger for gaining IndecisiveAttacker group of traits when ending turn in enemy zone of control, since trigger does not work as intended (it can fire even when you can't attack the enemy, or when you are besieging)
