- On 23 August 2013 Total War: Rome II had achieved more than six times the number of pre-orders of that of Total War: Shogun 2, making it the most pre-ordered game in Total War history. 42 The game surpassed commercially all other games in Total War in both sales and number of concurrent players on its release day.
A new website allows players to plan ahead for their path of victory in The Creative Assembly's Total War: Rome 2. On the Campaign Map Planner, players can choose their faction of choice in the.

A nice feature of RTW is the resources that appear on the map and influence trade income and the training capabilities of a given province. What's great about this is that you can give a province extra resources and make your own. This guide will show you how.The resources in RTW can in general be divided into three groups: trade resources, mounts and hidden resources. Slaves are another group, but they should not require any editing unless you are adding an entirely new territory to the campaign map. I will now go through the process of adding resources step-by-step. Note that not all steps are required for all types of resources.Step One: Adding It Internally
This step is required for adding and creating all types of resources.Make a backup of RTWdataworldmapsbasedescr_regions.txt. Now open the file. Inside it you'll find a list of all provinces in the game and their properties. This is what a typical entry will look like:
| Venetia |
| Patavium |
| gauls |
| Veneti |
| 13 198 117 |
| slaves, glass, textiles, dogs, pigs, italy |
| 5 |
| 14 |
Step two: adding it graphically
This step is not required for hidden resources. It is recommended for trade resources and mounts.Make a backup of RTWdataworldmapscampaignimperial_campaigndescr_strat.txt and open the file. When you scroll down a bit you'll find a list of resources. This is what a typical entry will look like:| resource | gold, | 45, | 135 |
| resource | gold, | 93, | 86 |
| resource | marble, | 93, | 86 |
Step Three: Hidden Resources
This step is required for adding entirely new hidden resources only.Make a backup of RTWdataexport_descr_buildings.txt. Inside the file you'll find settings for all buildings in the game. At the top of the file you'll find a list of all hidden resources that can be used. Simply add your own to the list, like this:hidden_resources sparta rome italy coastalNot doing this will not cause a crash, but it will cause the hidden resource to be unusable and it will also cause an error message when exiting the game.Step Four: Models And Skins
This step is required for adding entirely new trade resources only.In RTWdata you will find a file named descr_sm_resources.txt. Inside this file you will find a list of all resources and the models and skins that they use on the campaign map, as well as their trade value. Here's what a typical entry will look like:To add an entirely new resource, you'll have to give it an entry in here as well. It is easiest to copy an existing one and adjust it to your needs. This is what the lines in each entry mean:
type - The name of the resource, which is used in the game file as well as in-game.
trade_value - This sets how valuable the resource is for trade. The higher this value, the more it will add to trade income. A value of 0 here means the resource won't be traded.
item - This sets the model that is used to display the resource on the campaign map.
icon - This is the icon that will be used for this resource on the trade summary scroll.
There is no line to set the texture (aka skin) of the resource. The texture files are located in RTWdatamodels_strattextures and are named after the following format: resource_[name].tga.dds. Like this:
resource_salt.tga.dds
You can change this texture with an image-editing program. However, you have to remember that textures may look weird when they are wrapped around a model to which they aren't suited.
For links to image editing and modeling software, see here.

Warscape Engine Modding Overview
The TW Engine 3 with the graphic engine 'Warscape' has been used for Total War titles from Empire: Total War onwards, there are similar tools and principles used in modding these games. Some, but not all, of the games benefit from Assembly Kit tools released by CA.

TW Engine 2 Overview
The TW Engine 2 was used for Rome: Total War and Medieval II: Total War, there are similar tools and principles used in modding these games. Compared to the Warscape games RTW and M2TW allow much greater modding potential including the possibility of making 'Total Conversion' mods including completely new campaign maps.
Total War Rome 2 Emperor Edition Resource Map
Once familiar with modding one of the games you will find it relatively easy to mod the other. The methods for changing the campaign maps are almost identical and many text files such as export_descr_buildings.txt and export_descr_unit.txt which control unit recruitment are also almost identical. However, some recognisable files from RTW which still exist in the base M2TW files such as descr_daytypes.txt confusingly are not actually used by the M2TW game engine!
I Made A Map Of All The Resources In Rome 2! (excluding ...
Medieval II: Total WarMedieval II: Total War allows easy modification of many elements by straightforward text editing. The campaign map for M2TW can be modified by altering .tga image files and text files. Battlemap unit models and settlement structures can be edited via user-created tools many of which export and import to Milkshape ms3d files. M2TW provides a system of mod-foldering to help avoid over-writing the base files. Bare Geomod is a recommended resource to start modding on a bare but fully functional mod-folder of your own. The M2TW game engine provides an automated system for the generation of unit sprites, but not vegetation sprites, IWTE can be used to create vegetation sprites and amend the descr_vegetation.db which does not auto-regenerate. The descr_geography_new.db file can be made to re-generate but there are drawbacks. For further modding information see:
|
Total War: Rome RemasteredTotal War: Rome Remastered uses an updated version of the Rome: Total War engine which will accept high definition textures and various other graphics improvements. Many gameplay elements can still be modded just by altering text files, the political and battle-map can be altered by manipulating .tga files, however, the campaign map uses a modelled mesh for the visible strategic map. For further modding information see:
|
Rome: Total WarRome: Total War allows easy modification by text editing for many elements such as; unit stats and recruitment, character traits and diplomacy. The campaign map for RTW can be modified by altering .tga image files and text files. Unit recruitment, character traits, diplomacy and many other aspects can be modified by changing text files. Battlemap unit models and settlement structures can be edited with the help of tools such as the CAS Importer/exporter for 3ds max (by Vercingetorix). The RTW game engine provides an automated system for the generation of unit and vegetation sprites. The engine will also regenerate a modified descr_vegetation.db file and descr_items.db (for battle-map structures), the descr_geography.db file will not regenerate. There are minor but important differences between the game engines for RTW and the BI and Alexander expansions see Features of Rome - Total War's Different Game Engines for details. For further modding information see:

TW Engine 1 Overview
The TW Engine 1 was used for Shogun: Total War and Medieval: Total War.
Medieval: Total WarMedieval: Total War was the first readily 'moddable' Total War game. For further modding information see:
|
Shogun: Total WarShogun: Total War was the first-ever game in the Total War Series, it is widely regarded as being hard/impossible to mod. Some unit stats and other small matters can be altered if The Mongol Invasion expansion is used, but most modding efforts were concentrated on the more receptive next game in the series.
