Hi! Praetorians Mods Complex v2.8.0 is a multilanguage multimode (4 modes in one package).
And there are very many customizable add-ons.
For more information, see the "Description" section at http://www.moddb.com/mods/praetorians-mods-complex/downloads/praetorians-mods-complex-2-8-0

In the archive with the installer, there are instructions that are recommended for viewing.
Still dont work...

Perform actions by section:
2. Enable the required game components. (Enable DirectPlay)
Described in the file Installation Instructions - Solving Problems \ Solving problems.doc which is in the archive with the installer.

Thank you allgrey!!!! This is it, enable direct play fixed the problem!

In Windows 10, search for "turn on and off Windows Features", a new window pops up, under Legacy, check the DirectPlay box, wait for it to get enabled, then start the game and be happy!!!

Thanks again allgrey, your mod also helped me set the resolution to 1080p!

I run via the EXE (Browse Local Files) and set compatability to WinXP Xpac3. Works fine in Win10.

If you run via steam it forces Win98/ME compatability (which is wrong), and you'll have to change it back again. I tried fixing the install script and reg key, but something Steam does changes it all back.

Try this here: Praetorians Mods Complex 2.8.0 Patch http://www.moddb.com/mods/praetorians-mods-complex/downloads/praetorians-mods-complex-280-patch
Install over the game. There are some fixes, maybe this will help.

Go to the Praetorian game's installation folder (browse local file option). Right click on the game's executable (.exe) file "Praetorians.exe" and click on properties. Click on compatibility tab. Select "windows 8" from Run this program in compatibility mode. Click ok. Create a shortcut of the executable (.exe) file in desktop and run the game from desktop shortcut. If you run the game from steam then the settings will be changed by steam and you'll need to change it back again.

Nice mod! Thanks. Since the program was not working, I've just copied the right .exe instead of the old one, and I could play ...
Nice work :) that's cool
