I downloaded this but it doesn't let me play rebels.

family tree in main campaign crashes the game for me idk if its a bug or not. good mod tho

can you update bi for bi it not work
and i need help

Thanks for your answer.
Don't worry, I know time and energy are precious resources. Use them well :).

I don;t know if I will ever get into it, but if I will ever manage to fix this, I'll let you know :)

I'm sorry but indeed I do not have time/energy to put any more work into this mod :(. I am not sure why it worked at first and then not. But feel free to use the files from this mod and upload your own!

An other workaround I have tried was to add the "slave" faction simply to the britons, gaul, ... warband units ins the export_unit_descr file.
That allowed me to recruit the faction specific units in the military buildings.This is not ideal and the unit icons were broken and only showed peasants icons.

Sorry for the huge spam. I just wanted to wrote down all the stuff I did in case you are interested.

Okay, I have tried using that_backup files of yours and fixed the errors.
However that did not help either.
I am pretty much done with what I know.

I'd be very glad, if you left a short comment on if you will ever try to fix that or not.
If not, I might want to join some TW modding discord some day (not in the near future probably) and ask for help.

Rebels always were super cool to play and I'd like to expand their roster a bit.

I had a look at the Rome Modding Git Hub page: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/romeremastered

From 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 I did not see like the export_descr_unit and export_descr_building had a breaking change except that one which you have fixed in your files
"Replaced all instances of general_unit_upgrade with general_unit_upgrade "marian_reforms", so we can specify multiple general unit upgrades."

Rome Remaster has a BETA channel which seems to downgrade to 2.0.3 retail version.
If I use that and apply the changes of your "*backup.txt" files, will that bring back the units?

Which Rome version was the last one which was compatible with your mod?

Hmmm, I had a quick look at your changes via Git diff.
It does not seem like there are some super huge changes.
One would have to check what has changed in the backend of Rome.

I would be very pleased, if you could take the time and one last time fix this mod.I don't know if I will have the time in the near future to invest into this and debug it.
Rome seems to be quite stable now and you have more experience in that regard than I have.
So if you could one last time have a look at this mod and fix it, I would be pleased quite a bit :)

Hey, this sounds incredible :)
Any chance you will ever try to get back the barbarian units?
I really love playing as rebels, original game and Barbarian Invasion.

If you don't have time for this any more, I could do a global diff between original files and your files and see if something needs to change.

Is there a way to download the old files, which did unlock the units, but were crashing? That way I might be able to debug this better.

Is possible to play SPQR? Something like neutralised senate mode in original

Well thanks for fixing anyhow

Hey everyone, sorry for the long wait... I guess I fixed the crash on startup... and custom battles are hopefully working too! but on campaign, it's now not possible to recruit barbarian units anymore it seems. I guess feral changed some base file I am unaware off, have to look into it...

same issue x4 crashes on startup

@Gousman Any news for future updates?

Same issue here. It crashes on startup

yeah i have the same thing too!

Crashes on start

Im having the same problem (the region Arretium is assigned to an unknown faction.)

I can't launch a campaign.. it says that the region Arretium is assigned to an unknown faction.

crashes on siege

I've had the same issues with crashing as the others have here, however I deleted the EDB lines in the mod folder on diplomats so no one could recruit any and the problem still persists. I'm not sure what's specifically causing it, but in my case at least it's always to do with reloading a saved file.
I initially tried just running through a new campaign by just spamming the end turn button and it worked fine up until turn 30 when I got bored and started a new campaign proper.
In my actual campaign, I saved and the end of every turn, and it crashed at what would've been the start of turn 6. However, turn 5 was the only end turn where I reloaded for a battle.
I also couldn't reload any of my earlier turn 1-4 saves in this campaign either without them CTD at the start of the next turn.
Not sure how that's any help but I guess if you can keep the game running in the background without reloading it'll be fine?

It will crash when AI factions recruit diplomats at the end of turn.

Played on Hard for map, Medium for battle. Only other active mod was the classic main menu sequence.
Always crashed at the end of a turn. No visible consistency of enemy faction movements between each game which could have caused a crash.

Hate to add to the pile but I'm experiencing the same thing as Falstolf. For some reason, going back a turn and doing things differently has staved off the crash for a turn but it always comes.

I don't know what is making it to crash. I don't think that languages are the problem. Crash happens at the end of AI turn. Sometimes it takes 5 turns...sometime 30 but I always get CTD. I have been playing your other rebels mod for barbarian invasion and it works perfecly. Thanks for trying to fix this one. I am looking forward to play the original campaign XD

I found one error in the classic trade/merchant file that will be fixed, as for the CTD's... I really can't grasp what is going wrong to be honest. No matter what I try or how many turns I play... I won't encounter any CTD's unless I build a diplomat... I just hope that the small fix I made will stop these CTDs from happening somehow...

I think languages shouldn't be an issue either, the only language related thing I changed was the campaign description for the rebel faction (which is not a necessity).

I have a crash during the end turn. Julii is doing something, but I don't know what, that makes the game crash.

I finally have time to fix some errors, but what kind of CTD do you have Falstoff?

Btw speaking of languages... I didn't add any other localisation than English indeed, something I might look at!

Nop... it still crashes, it just took more time... XD

Switching to english version seems to fix CTD for me

Gousman, let me just say THANK YOU for this mod. It has made my RTW experience 100 times better, and honestly as I don't have the time or knowledge to do the modding myself, I am indebted to the person who put in the hard work. Thank you so much dude, this mod has been a blast. God bless you man, because you sure blessed me!

My setup: very hard/very hard long campain
All remastered and all remastered but merchants

I am experiencing CTD also at the end of AI turn, like greggaming2245

I suspect the crash was caused by the other factions recruiting diplomats at the end of the turn

yes,It is strange that, the game crashes when the turn ends, I tested all the units I could recruit, only recruiting diplomats crashes, other factions don't

Hello, after doing a bit of testing with default settings I have found that my CTD seem to be related to recruitment of units and the construction of buildings. as soon as the AI finish their turns and new units and building are made it crashes. Hope this helps

As for the diplomats: i cant remove them from the rebel faction, as the diplomats you recruit are actually "owned" by all the other factions! (You will notice in recruitment that each diplomat has the color of a different faction). So removing them will remove diplomats from the game entirely. This is just how the rebels are hardcoded, I will look into it one more time, maybe disable them in some other way, but after that just leave it be to be honest. Maybe I can change their discription to let players know they can't recruit them. Since rebel diplomats have no diplomatic options (you can't propose things to the AI), it doesn't make sense to have them around anyways.

But Black Ice you are implying that other factions can't create diplomats as well?

For the capture CTD: for now I can only advice to play on remastered only, since personally I haven't encountered CTDs there. I will check on the other settings when I have more time, but the toggle options are not always clearly defined within the scripts. I thought I fixed the merchant classic option, but perhaps there are other files involved I am not aware of. Same goes for the other options.

Pretty much the same as Lawfulpotato, only thing I can think of that might have tripped something is previously before this mod I tried to mess with the descr_strat.txt file in the campaign file to allow myself to play as rebel but with out this mod it crashes as you hit end turn. I'll try to return it to normal and try again.

The game crashes when factions recruit diplomats, need fix, thx.

Unit Balancing, AI Improvements, Battles, and Campaign Remastered
Pop. Cost Balancing, End Turn, and Merchants Classic
Diplomacy I've tested with both, and it happens on both

Medium/Medium difficulty

Long Campaign

Hi greggaming2245 and Lawfulpotato! I tried to replicate your problems... a couple of times even, but I got no CTDs. On what settings do you play the campaign? Like remastered/classic options, difficulty, short/long?

My game crashes after the first turn (no diplomats recruited) right after the House of Juli take segesta not sure what the problem is. (no other mods downloaded)

Scratch that, The CTD occurs when a settlement gets captured while a tier 1 governor's building is in progress.

Gousman! It works! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I so appreciate your hard work on this mod. Thanks for responding to me so quickly, and for addressing my request almost immediately!

no diplomacy, only war. as the gods intended

Oh haha yeah, I should probably tell you, this is known in old rome: rebel diplomats can not do anything. Unfortunately the way they work... I can not disable them for just the rebels (without taking them away from all other factions)...

hey, just kind of an F.Y.I. for anyone trying to, don't recruit diplomats, game keeps crashing every time
