I posted a link in the guides forum, however this map is so handy it deserves its own topic. There is an excellent resource map available online. It shows the fertility levels of all provinces, what special resources they have, starting allegiance, and which clans own them. Wambat is holding a weekly raffle giveaway of Steam games to promote the Fourth Age Total War. Resources that are invisble on the map.

Jan 02, 2019 Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition. Got something better, a map of all resources (however will not show on area's you haven't explored yet) Just press the tab key.

In Total War: Rome II you can build several construction at the same time, what helps in easy reorganization of the province. Just destroy unneeded military buildings and in the next turn you'll be able to start building new farms, marketplaces or ports.

Good News! A), Total War: Rome Remastered is here! B), it's moddable!

There will probably be some quirks initially, and because it looks sooo much better, there will also be more work involved in getting mod assets to match up.

KNOWN COMMON ISSUES:

Crash regenerating map.rwm - RR can write new map.rwn files to : C:UsersnameAppDataLocalFeral InteractiveTotal War ROME REMASTEREDVFSLocalRomeWritableMaps as 'base_map.rwm', if so, you need to rename it to map.rwm and move it to the appropriate folder. Attempting to generate a new map.rwm whilst there is a base_map.rwm present in the WritableMaps folder will cause an instant CTD on campaign start.

Invalid Manifest - 0kb empty .txt files within the mod will cause an error where the game makes the mod manifest but then thinks it is invalid! The vanilla games have some of these files, beware of copying them into mod-folder.

NB: Please see below for details of map.rwm generation.

Mods can be uploaded and used from the Steam Workshop, the placing of those mods on your computer will be determined by Steam and your library set-up, for example a mod's file could be in:

D:Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent8859702471298638

Mods in development can be placed in the 'Mods' folder either in Local Mods or My Mods, the full path to these folders is normally:

C:UsersYOURNAMEAppDataLocalFeral InteractiveTotal War ROME REMASTEREDModsLocal ModsMods_Name etc.

If you have a small C drive and need to relocate this elsewhere you can use a hard-link on your computer, hopefully, the launcher options will later allow an easier way to change directory locations!

Within either Local Mods or My Mods you will then have a folder for Mod_Name. Within Mod_Name folder you need the mod's data folder a modinfo.json and a filelist.json

modinfo.json

This file you write yourself and it gives the name and description of the mod, a sample format is:

filelist.json

This is referred to as the 'manifest' for the mod. If you don't have one the game will generate it when you try and launch the mod. If you already have one and you've changed ANY of the mod's files, you should delete this file before launch so a new correct version can be generated.

0kb empty .txt files within the mod can cause an error where the game makes the mod manifest but then thinks it is invalid!

Differences to Rome: Total War

For text file and folder structure differences see main article:- File Differences - Rome Remastered

There are numerous small and large changes to the files and file structure of Remastered in comparison to RTW. The changes are centered around:

Inclusion of higher resolution graphics and environmental effects
Inclusion of all language options within the same base game (instead of replacement)
Addition of separate mesh structure for 3D elements of campaign map
Addition of merchant agent type
'Duplicate' text files with alternative statistics to suit toggled play-style options
New methods to override base files

Textures

RR still uses .tga.dds files (e.g. dds files but with the .tga name appended so that text files actually just ask for .tga)

Some textures are compressed using the LZ4 system, these also have an additional header section which can be ignored. IWTE now has an option that will de-compress a directory of these textures back to their starting .dds state.

Some textures are DX10 type, these you can probably open but not see the correct information, if you have a recent version of Photoshop you can use this plugin to open them. Otherwise, you need to convert them to .tga using the Texconv tool or similar. The easiest way to use this tool is by writing a .bat file (so you don't have to remember the commands each time!), and example .bat would be:

Fortunately, the game will accept and run happily with non-compressed DXT5 and DXT1 dds textures in the same way as RTW, so you only need to mess about with the above if you need to view or amend some of the existing textures.

RR has introduced a system of Physically Based Rendering for textures, thus the 'normal' textures that have been introduced with RR work slightly differently from the ones in M2TW:

.pvr

A .pvr version of the radar map is used, to open this file download the PVRTexTool or similar.

Campaign Map

One of the areas modders' have been most worried about was whether the game would support completely redesigned maps now that a model mesh system has been introduced for the campaign map. Although this looks like the vanilla shaped map, it's actually partway through porting a version of the Mundus Magnus large map for RTW (originally by ngr).

This still needs a lot of work and 'tweaking' but is working as a proof of concept of what should be possible. (WIP map is now released on Steam and IWTE version 21_05_B supports mesh creation)

Relationship to battle maps:

The below picture demonstrates the difference between what you might see on the campaign map and in battle if you don't deliberately align the two:

The left part shows the campaign map on a modified section of mesh. The area shown in green, where the army can move, is controlled by the map_heights.tga, map_ground_types.tga and map.rwm information. Where he would actually appear to stand is controlled by the heightmap .bin file generated from the mesh, so he will walk up that big lump, but he won't go below 0m (sea level), even though the mesh is below the water surface there. The second part of the picture on the right shows what you actually get at that spot in battle, which is based on the map_heights.tga, map_ground_types.tga and map.rwm information, plus interpretation from the vegetation and geography.db files.

Similarities to the original system:

A quick look in the data/world/maps folders will reassure RTW and M2TW modders that the map image and text files they are familiar with are still there. If you have a 'pure map' mod you should be able to use your existing map_heights.tga, descr_strat.txt etc to launch a mod for Remastered without much problem. If the mod ha
