Instructions

#1 - Install your mod

#2 - Go into your RTW directory (wherever you installed the game), and look for the mod folder (eg. for Europa Barbarorum it's the "EB" folder)

#3 - Keep that folder's name in mind

#4 - Go to your Steam Library, right click Rome: Total War, and click Properties

#5 - Click on "Set Launch Options"

#6 - Type this in there (replace *MOD FOLDER NAME* with the name of your mod's folder)
-mod:*MOD FOLDER NAME* -show_err

eg. for Europa Barbarorum it would look like
-mod:eb -show_err

#7 - it's all set.

The End

Did it work for you? Let me know.

well not all mods come with install instuctions

There's no folder called "Mods" like for most games, the root directory ("Rome Total War Gold" folder for you porbably, in steamapps > common) is where the mod's folder should be (if you've already installed it properly, and mods always come with installation instuctions)

I actually gave you the wrong like sorry: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?214-Rome-Total-War-Hosted-Modifications

Last one was to the Rome 2 mod's forum.

If you have any other issues just ask.

Ah. Well here's a link to Total War Centre's Rome:TW hosted mod section (hosted mods are the big ones that deserve their own sub-forum) http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1989-Total-War-Rome-II-Hosted-Modifications . Europa Barbarorum, Roma Surrectum, Rome Total Realism are the 3 most popular ones I know of.

Total War Centre is the forum to go to

Miraklum 31 Dec, 2015 @ 8:25pm

I wish I could of made it but Roma Surrectum does not run using your method :/

Maybe ask on their own forum. Probably have a better chance of finding someone that knows.
