The Fourth Age: Total War – RTW Version
(Requires RTW 1.5)

Information about this version:

This is the RTW version of the Fourth Age: Total War - The New Shadow mod, for those that do not have Barbarian Invasion. It requires the 1.5 version of RTW, so make sure you have patched your game to it before you try installing it.

The RTW version has been patched up to its very latest version (2.6) and includes everything that the one for BI does, except any non-portable capabilities, such as shield-wall or hording, that cannot be supported by the RTW.exe. The original folder structure of the mod has been kept the same, for coding purposes, so a bi/ci directory will be created in your RTW installation and the mod's files will be put there. The size of the file is so big, because all BI files necessary for the mod to run have been included in it.

The game has not been fully tested on this RTW version, as this release serves as a teaser for players in order to get BI and try the fully supported version of FATW for it, which is constantly under improvement and expansion, so there is no guarantee for the stability of the mod. Nonetheless, this release is believed to be highly stable, something FATW has always been praised for, and up to the same high quality standards that the 220,000+ players of the BI version enjoy.

Note that this version will NOT be developed further with patches or new releases (including the Wars of Men package) in the foreseeable future and it will not be supported by our Team for any technical issues that are exclusive to the platform. Please, get BI and the BI version of FATW to enjoy the mod to its fullest.

Constructive criticism and feedback are always welcome – without it this mod would not be the same. You can visit us at www.thefourthage.org, or at our forums.

FATW RTW Version | Filefront Mirror (417 MB)


Installation Instructions:


BEFORE you get started:

This version requires RTW to be patched to 1.5, so please make sure you have patched your game before trying to install and play. If you do not patch to 1.5, then you will be unable to play the campaign and the Historical Battles and you will start getting messages regarding scripts, models, files, the “select an item from the list” one and more. This has nothing to do with the mod, it simply means you have not patched your RTW to 1.5 before installing.

Step 1:

The FATW_RTW.rar contains 2 folders, named “FATW_Icons” and “BI” and a read-me document. When you extract the files from the .rar cut the ‘BI’ and ‘FATW_Icons’ folder and place them inside your *main* RTW directory; this usually is “C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War” or “C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War”, depending on the version you have. In any case, it is the directory where the RTW.exe file exists.

Step 2:

Make a shortcut for the RTW.exe on your desktop. Right-click on it and select Properties. In the “Target” line paste the following:

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:bi\ci

If you have installed RTW to a different location, change the path accordingly, but make no changes to anything outside the quotation marks.
Now, the “Starts In” line should look like the following:

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War"

Again, if you have installed RTW to a different location, make the appropriate path changes.

Step 3:

You can pick an icon for the shortcut from the “FATW_Icons” folder in your main RTW directory – the one we usually use is TNS2.ico.

That’s it, you’re ready to go!

Enjoy The Fourth Age: Total War – The New Shadow.

Installation Instructions (installer version):

Double-click on the FATW_TNS_WoM.exe that you just downloaded, and make sure that you have it pointed to your Rome directory where you installed TNS (this is normally C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War, or - if you have Gold Edition - C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War). The installation should take a few seconds. Make sure you read the readme file at the end of the process! You can now click on the new WoM shortcut on your desktop, and continue to play! (The shortcut you already have for the "plain" TNS will still work.)

Installation Instructions (.rar version):

Extract the contents of FATW_TNS_WoM.rar you just downloaded to your Rome directory where you installed TNS (this is normally C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War, or - if you have Gold Edition - C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War). Accept when it asks you to overwrite. Then make a shortcut for the FATW_campaign_swap.bat file on your desktop. You can now use that shortcut to play Wars of Men. (The shortcut you already have for the "plain" TNS will still work.)

TNS WoM IS save-game compatible with 2.6 save-games. (savegames of the All-factions campaign only)

Save games:
We have implemented a system that will store your save-games in appropriate folders when you exit WoM. Also, the plain 2.6 campaign and the All-factions WoM campaign are identical. So you can continue your campaign from 2.6 on WoM's Main campaign or you can play your Main campaign using the 2.6 plain version of TNS.

Users with 2.0b should not apply 2.1 or 2.2 as they are already incorporated into 2.0b, instead just apply this new 2.6 patch. All hotfixes are already included in 2.6 and so it does not matter if you already have them installed or not.
