Standalone 1.3 patch is out! check it in 100GB ....

[Berserk_RedFlag]

There has been a little confusion over the 1.3 patch. This is a patch for the original version of Rome: Total War ONLY. You do not have to download this patch if you have already bought and installed the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack. The expansion pack automatically brought the original RTW up to version 1.3 as part of the install process.

Version 1.3 addresses bugs and issues that came to light after RTW version 1.2 was released. It does not - indeed cannot - take into account any new issues that people have found while playing BI. It's to keep RTW and BI in step, and allow multiplayer compatibility.

Now, I would like to write this next bit in letters of fire 3 metres high: we are currently looking into a further patch for RTW/BI. This does *not* mean that there definitely will be another patch; that's what we're trying to sort out. We want to make sure that any unexpected and difficult-to-identify issues are spotted before a patch is prepared. *When we know for sure about a patch, you'll know for sure.* How reasonable is that?

[와키자카]

유닛 상성이 더 강화된 것 같네요

[동전던지기]

다른 한 문장보다 Improvements to the battle AI 이거하나 맘에 드네요... 근데 패치용량이 100메가 -_-);;;

[BERSERK_SASKE]

오리지날 패치인가요?

[Berserk_RedFlag]

BI 설치 하신분은 필요없습니다. 오리지날 1.2 버전의 패치 버전입니다.

[초절세미소년*^^*]

기병은 이제 창병만 보면 도망가야겠군여^^;;

[로마1]

BI보다는 이게 압권이죠. 지금 1.2패치 게임하시던 분 세이브 파일 지워버려도 후회하진 않을 것입니다.

[☞메롱이☜]

바바리언 깔면 소용없는 1.3패치 ㅋㅋㅋ

쿠악..... "자세잡은 창병은 기병의 챠지보너스의 일부를 되돌려먹임"... 장난 아닐세...
