Rome Total War (including Barbarian Invasion & Alexander)

Hello! This package includes the game Rome Total War, as well as the add-ons Barbarian Invasion and Alexander. Detailed installation instructions are provided below. Happy gaming! Instructions: These are the instructions for successfully installing Rome: Total War and its' add-ons Barbarian Invasion and Alexander. Please read them carefully! Step 0: Burn the ISO images to CD's, using a CD writing program such as Nero or CDBurnerXP (supplied here as "Apps\cdbxp_setup_4.0.024.439.exe"), burning them as images, NOT as files added to a compilation - requires 5 CD's OR Mount the images one at a time, as requested by the installation program, using an ISO mounting application, such as DAEMON Tools Lite 4.12.3 (which is provided here as "Apps\daemon412-lite.exe") Step 1: Install Rome: Total War (folder \RTW\Rome Total War) - 3 ISO images / CD's Step 2: Install Barbarian Invasion Add-on (folder \RTW\Barbarian Invasion) - 1 ISO image / CD Step 3: Install the Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion 1.6 Patch (supplied as "Patch\rome_total_war_patch_1-6.exe") Step 4: Install Alexander Add-on (folder \RTW\Alexander) - 1 ISO image / CD Step 5: Copy the files "RomeTW.exe", "RomeTW-BI.exe" and "RomeTW-ALX.exe", located in the "\Crack" directory, into your Rome Total War installation folder (by default "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War"), overwriting the files there having these names Step 6: Play the game! Thank you for paying attention reading these hints! Yours sincerely, fireblade80

Seed please

Sh3rvin (2008-05-11)

there is something wrong with Rome: Total war not the expansions they work fine. You can't play Rome: Total war. Eiven if you mount the cd it still dosen't work. The game tells you that there is no cd. I mount with daemon tools and the right cd.

fireblade80 (2008-05-12)

Don't forget to install everything in the RIGHT order, DON'T miss intermediate steps, and, very importantly, copy ALL of the cracked executables to the game folder.
Everything works perfectly!

GawdamSumbitch (2008-05-19)

everything works wonderfully (just follow the very easy-to-understand directions). thank you.

PirateBay1337 (2008-05-29)

Whenever I try to open the game, it claims that it cannot find DirectX 9.0. I have reinstalled DirectX via a Google link, Microsoft's website, and the game's DirectX link under Extras. How can I fix this problem?

PirateBay1337 (2008-05-29)

Also, when I try to open Barbarian Invasion, it says that an instance of Rome: Total War is already running and does not work.

arkantigers (2008-05-31)

download worked perfectly for me, thanks. piratebay1337: try completely uninstalling the program and install again following each step as laid out. hopefully that will rectify the problem.

rumpypumpy1 (2008-06-02)

All working beautifully. easy to follow instructions.
Absolutely top marks fireblade80 - great torrent.

testeo (2008-06-11)

@ Albkan13
You Video card is too old for playing todays games. Try update to latest drivers and Direct X and start the game at minimun details.

Ascarona (2008-06-13)

Great torrent, works like a jewel, you hardly see any of these top class torrents and I meen it, great job on this one!

Asakura2k (2008-06-15)

Great work Blade! Nice torrent! Keep it that way!

thompson606 (2008-06-16)

installation fine,pretty much everything works great.
only problem is when i go to battlefield mode it loads up,then goes to the desktop with a black box in the top left.
i know my pc can run it as the demo worked perfect,any ideas?

diablo32 (2008-06-24)

DreadJesus (2008-06-25)

strawberryhelmet (2008-07-01)

Thanks a lot.. You´ve done a VERY nice job with this one.. :-) Peace

Mattyz (2008-07-04)

Very nice torrent, but I have a question. When I'm done, where is the place I should copy the cracks to? I just copied all three and open the start meny->programs->Rome Total War and then painted them in. Is this wrong? Cause when I try to play any of the games, a pop-up says that I need to insert the right CD, and I have the Deamon Tool on My Documents->Azurus Downloads->Rome Total War->RTW->Rome Total War->Rome Total War CD1. Or is it this that is wrong? Please help me! :D

Josey_Whales (2008-07-04)

Same here as Dreadjesus,
Install complains about .Cas files ,and when ignored ,it shows the error at game start:
ballista_idle.cas
Any idea what's wrong?
I also installed using deamon tools ,maybe the cabinet file wasn't unpacked right?
Thanks for this upload ,too bad i'm still not able to play till now......
Any solutions would be welcome..... :)

Josey_Whales (2008-07-04)

Okay ,problem solved.......
I mounted all three cd's at once ,and this was the cause of the problem.
If you only mount the first cd ,and when asked for cd2 , just push windows button .
Unmount cd1 and mount cd2 and press continue...etc.
If you do it like this everything works fine.....:)
Again tx for the Up .....

Ascarona (2008-08-11)

The first torrent that is complete, you rarely find such torrents like these, you thought of everything man, even putting in deamon tools. This torrent is a Diamond, thx so much :D

Showgun_torrent_expert (2008-08-17)

This torrent works just fine in my opinion. Just try messing around with the files a bit. I have over 40 downloaded games with alot of experience in this field...

jon41 (2008-08-20)

thx for a great game man

Killare2 (2008-08-24)

thanks alot;) is this game patched to 1.5?

fireblade80 (2008-08-24)

To Killare2:
Yes, the core game is patched to version 1.5 through the 1.6 patch for the add-on Barbarian Invasion, that also patches the core game.
To tobbassen:
If you are sure to have followed the instructions to the letter, than the problem might be something regarding the mounting of the images. Try to click Retry when asked for a CD a few times. That should hopefully get things started!

NoobAtDownloading (2008-08-26)

Does this work on Vista?

RandomHell (2008-08-29)

Excuse the noobness of this as I don't torrent much however I have on idea on what do to. Can't find any iso, have .rar files. Extract them and still can't. And I'm sure I've done few of these before successfully. Am so confused, might just go buy it anyway.

zagrodzkyz (2008-09-06)

I mounted the ISO images with PowerISO and when I ran the install, the first disk is a corrupt file. Thanks for the upload fireblade80

TheDevilsCry (2008-09-18)

TheDevilsCry (2008-09-18)

geting missing/corrupt files
they're all from cd 2

TheDevilsCry (2008-09-18)

so please help me . . . .

fireblade80 (2008-09-18)

TheDevilsCry, it seems you must redownload CD2, since you got it corrupted! Do a hash check at the end of downloading the torrent!

Memphis13 (2008-09-22)

DanP4581 (2008-12-30)

I need some major help here... I've burnt the 5 CDs and followed all of the instructions. I copy the cracks and replace the old files, and click on them to play the game. An intro screen comes up, then nothing. If I press any button, the game crashes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, and I keep on running into problems.

DanP4581 (2008-12-31)

Nevermind.... some files had been placed in another folder by accident. All fixed. Great torrent!

0-LSD-0 (2009-01-29)

Hi, can i just ask can i use the 2 expansions with my own, previously cracked version of the game? I have unticked the Rome Total War parts that come with this torrent, and am hoping to be able to just use the 2 expansions.
And a note to the seeders:
Thanks, i'm getting a fantastic speed of 200kb/s right now. Glad to see there are some seeders out there. New internet connection means i can seed at around 500kb/s. Not amazing, but should do fine.

0-LSD-0 (2009-01-29)

LOL i just accidentally downloaded 1GB instead of the 54mb worth of expansions i needed. Sorry about the wasted bandwidth guys, i should be more creful :S

Amstel121 (2009-02-07)

I downloaded the game and followed all the instructions to install it. When I click to play the game an intro screen comes, but then nothing. If I push a button the game crashes. Can anyone help me please??

Dark-Apprentice (2009-02-08)

I did everything in manual and it says to enter the cd when i play alexander help!

Dark-Apprentice (2009-02-08)

Drago1359 (2009-03-17)

Can It still work even if I don't download Rome Total War and Barbarian invasion? I only need Alexander.

fireblade80 (2009-03-17)

Drago1359, you need at least Rome Total War installed to be able to install Alexander. But, since you also need to download and run the RTW 1.3 and 1.5 patches prior to installing the Alexander add-on, you will be better served by downloading the full torrent and following the steps, in order to avoid unnecessary complications.

Drago1359 (2009-03-18)

I already have Rome Total War and Barbarian Invasion. I have v1.5 for RTW and v1.6 for BI.

forenengy (2009-03-19)

Uh mate, i followed all the steps. When i go click on the RTW icon, the window pops up saying
Play RTW
Unistal
Read me
Support
etc..
so i click play and it a window pops up saying please inser CD-ROM to continue. i followed ALL the steps but if u can help me plz do.
Rob

forenengy (2009-03-19)

Sorry here is what it said "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restatrt application."

T-Nasty6 (2009-03-26)

I need some help please. I opened Daemon, then mounted RTW 1. After that I opened setup.exe after double clicking rtw cd 1. During installation, I get an error saying the source file is not found, and I need to make sure i can access it. What do I do? Please Help. Thanks!

jordan123 (2009-03-28)

easy to install, if you get stuck at the bush stage, unmount the first disk iso, and then mound the other one. brillian upload, and if u cant get it to work, then ur an idiot lol

T-Nasty6 (2009-03-28)

Well I'm not an idiot, mounting the second iso doesn't work. It says: Error 1311.Source file not found.

T-Nasty6 (2009-03-28)

Rar$EX00.343\sky.cab. Verify file exists and that you can access it. I don't see a sky.cab anywhere!!!

GreenMachine420 (2009-04-15)

I FIGURED THIS OUT!!! JUST CLICK BROWSE THEN LOCATE THE FILE ON EACH DISK!!! IT IS ON THE ACTUAL .ISO!!!

Ordinare (2009-05-29)

Okay, this is the second time I've downloaded RTW and when I attempt to start up the game I get an error message saying that a certain file cannot be found. I downloaded the game perfectly in line with the instructions yet whenever I get to the Product Screen I get that error message which totally throws off the 10+ hours I've put into downloading this thing. I would really love to play the game, but as long as this error message continues RTW is just taking up space.

kiko_mkd (2009-06-01)

I can`t even open it i am trying with daemon and alcohol but when i mount it nothing hepend help please!:s:s:s

nilznl (2009-06-09)

You get the file missing error when you mount all the images at once. The installer program just does not see the "disks" in the other "drives".
It works fine if you mount one, then unmount it and mount the next in the same virtual drive when the installer asks for it.

soona86 (2009-06-12)

Guys everything works perfectly!
thnx fireblade80! :)
i'm very happy right now..thnx a lot! :)

fred564 (2009-06-24)

fireblade80 (2009-11-17)

junpyoko, to play online you must own a registered copy of the game.

junpyoko (2009-11-18)

i can't do that because i live in asia

junpyoko (2009-11-18)

perhaps the cd key of the game is in your box where you bought RTW. im talking of the container

hi 1st of all thnx 4 this upload...
question, if i already have Rome total war file...can i skip this RTW file and just install alexander and barbarian invasion? if so how can i install the two?

Twelle (2010-03-23)

Hello, very fast DL and everything went perfect except for installing BI. It says it can't locate MSS32.DLL. I tried DLing it again but to no avail. I really want to play Alexander!

romanmoga1992 (2010-03-27)

@ Twelle
That's a common problem but has an easy solution.
First. Type the full name of the missing file into google and download it from "www.dll-files.com".
Second. move the *.dll file to your "Windows folder and try to start the game good luck.
BTW here's your files

SonOFBaldr (2010-05-03)

That advice you gave is appreciated by those of us who are receiving the .dll error message;
But your advice requires the spending of $34 to fix this problem by using that software. I/we need a FREE fix...or at least a much cheaper one... Please?
Thank you for your time to help me/us get rid of the error;
"This application has failed to start because mss32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Re-installing does not help btw. Also, I can see the .dll file right there under the .exe file in the same folder!

inoksvere (2010-08-09)

I was wondering, after installing the RTW-BI expansion and then installing the 1.6patch, does that automatically patch the original version of the game with 1.2-1.5 as well? Or would I have to install the 1.2-1.5 patches seperately?

AciXX (2010-08-27)

Works! Thanx Man ..... when you got problems with error 1309... you have to mount only 1 disc at time ( it means when it ask you for another disc then dismount rtw-iso1 , and mount rtw-iso 2 ... sorry for my bad english ... hope i help you

dkjm74 (2010-09-04)

@ Twelle
I had the same problem, but I just looked at the files inside the BI .iso and clicked on launch.exe file directly and it installed fine then.
I had to do the same on the Alexander disc too.
This was no fault of the torrent either - every system is a bit different that's all. The torrent works fine (all three parts now installed). People saying it's 'wank' and so on just can't install on their system for some reason or other (administrative rights maybe) - but the torrent does work!

Ag3nt_Magnum (2010-09-04)

hey. i have a big problem here. installed the game, following the instructions to the letter, and then it says it can't locate the directx, wich I installed (latest version) and double checked, and it's there. game still doesn't work

LFXTrader (2010-09-06)

Once you fix the missing mss32.dll file there is failed to inisialise 3D audio error.
Conclusion:
This is FAILWARE. Nice try, but better luck next time. n00b.

LFXTrader (2010-09-06)

And NO, all are failware, not just the addons/expansions. Total FAIL! Not toal war.

chris1010 (2010-10-13)

To all incompetent morons..this works !!!..read the fucking notes and if you cant get it to work the problem is you or your rig..I installed this a few days ago on a brand new win7 system without any issue...
Still incredible popular after all this time....
dont forget to check out the Sept 2010 released Roma Surrectum II Mod...its what Rome should have been out of the box....

barbarian invasion works but rome doesnt

LDream5 (2010-10-30)

To those who would like to download this, don't listen to the negative responses in the comments, it works fine. If you have trouble getting it to work, then you've done something wrong. Follow the install order. It's really very basic, if you understand torrents...to me it doesn't seem different than any other torrent I've downloaded.

LDream5 (2010-10-30)

@anujmsn That is because you don't have admin rights set for that directory. I recommend running the game as admin. If that doesn't work, then there are other ways to do that.

Jacksonclan (2010-11-20)

After following the instructions, I had the same issue with lots of errors. For some reason it had installed on 'Program Files' and 'Program Files (86)'. I just cut the 'Rome:Total War' directory from program files to program files (86) and replaced everything it needed to. i found that one file was in one directory and not the other like the mss32.dll file.

djrivers (2010-12-22)

I have a question about the game. I have the game rome total war but I just want the expansion of alexander. to play the expansion of the lord of the rings. I can only install the expansion of Alexander and put it in the folder that I have installed Rome Total War??

ismellfunny67 (2010-12-28)

Works fine. Just follow the instructions and do everything in the right order. Don't know how so many people screwed up the install, pretty simple. Thanks for the excellent upload. Also, the "virus" is a false positive.

this may sound nooby but Whenever i mount the images using Deamon Tools Lite, when it's installing the first disc it keeps saying it is missing some files, but i've found all of these files in disc 2, so i put all the files together and installed but then it asks for disc 2 and i don't know what to do, anyone help?

13maniacs (2011-07-19)

Ok For all you people saying you have a problem, or saying this has a virus, or saying it doesn't work, follow my tutorial, if it doesn't work, your not doing it right.
1. Download file
2. Mount "Rome Total War CD1", install, Mount CD2 when prompted, then CD3 when prompted.
3. Mount "Barbarian Invasion", install
4. Run "rome_total_war_patch_1-6" Located in the Rome Total War Folder that contains the ISO's Default "Rome Total War\Patch"
5. Mount "Alexander", install
6. Find the Crack Folder Default "Rome Total War\Crack" Put those three files in the Rome Total War installation Directory Default "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War"
7. Play

13maniacs (2011-07-19)

And ignore the warning if there is a virus, Its not a virus, it's the crack

mankhan31 (2012-02-19)

i have started download lets see what happens

archy01 (2012-03-04)

ImGreekWowWow!
I have a WINDOWS 7. Just press right click of mouse on icones -> properties -> compatibility -> set "run windows on ...." windows 7 , set "run this program as administrator" -> apply
... and maybe it will work. Remember! :) This works on another games too!!

archy01 (2012-03-04)

I have a windows 7. Installed i think correctly. But have a problem like others here. When I press on icone - "Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application". (???)

archy01 (2012-03-04)

For thouse who has "Please insert the correct CD-ROM" or similar!!!
Please repeat this step again as last - Copy the files "RomeTW.exe", "RomeTW-BI.exe" and "RomeTW-ALX.exe", located in the "Crack" directory, into your Rome Total War installation folder (by default "C:Program FilesActivisionRome - Total War"), overwriting the files there having these names.
And game will go (maybe). :)

machv5 (2012-07-26)

Do the expansions (alexander & barbarian) work with other releases? And is the RTW in the dir path shortened from the actual default path? I am assuming it is and that these are retail copies. Some releases like the ones from KAOS do all the patching for you these days. Thanks. If I answer the questions on my own via research I will update this comment

Protip: If there's like 3 comments saying a torrent contains a virus, and 100 saying "NO IT DOESNT YOU FUCKING RETARD YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO TORRENTS YOU DIDNT FOLLOW THE INTSRTUCTIONS" then it's probably a virus...

dansga (2012-10-31)

Guys, someone who's seeding has a broken file on the 3rd CD. I was getting the same error as other users here with a file being corrupt. After trying with different mounting programs, I've downloaded CD 3 from another source where the guys were aware of this and it worked right away. So the only explanation could be that some people download the 3rd CD from the ones that got the corrupted files. I know it sounds insane but i find no other explanation. Good luck.

after complete install i have made sure to unmount all files and to re mount the correct file... when i try to start it, it still says that i need to insert the correct disc... i have tryed all the files seperatly and it says the same thing... whats the problem?

ultras1814 (2013-03-29)

I have win 7 and it does work. Still a lot of bugs in this game i think, need the patches.

HydroKronic420 (2013-05-05)

i know solution:(1.)just install every disk separately of rome total war.(2.)install barbarian invasion (3.)install Alexander (4.)once all installed copy and paste cracks. the only pronlem now is the patch its not working

atoue (2013-06-10)

WORKED!!! Thanks Very Much :)

RAMEN00DLE5 (2013-07-17)

This right here could be the best combo of a fast DL, small file, and an incredible game with lots of incredible mods on the entire bay.

RAMEN00DLE5 (2013-07-17)

HydroKronic420, follow the goddamn instructions in the readme file and you cannot fuck this up. This is so easy to install regardless it amazes me how you are having such problems. What do you mean the patch does not work?

RAMEN00DLE5 (2013-07-17)

the patches and cracks for all three games are in the fucking ISO. This should be obvious but....

Fuzzy92 (2013-08-03)

anyone else had 1607 error "unable to install installshield scripting runtime" everyone says it great torrent but i can't even get install started maybe somethings wrong with my computer

RAMEN00DLE5 (2013-08-03)

Fuzzy, I just did a google search of your error text (unable to install installshield scripting runtime) and it took me right to the windows help desk where a lot of the information seemed to be applicable to those using virtual drives while using XP which I bet your using. DO that yourself and you will see.

xTheRedx (2013-08-04)

Hi! I got everything installed and even was able to play up until Barbarian Invasion. Unfortunately when I tried to run the 1.6 patch it says something about this patch will only upgrade from 1.3 to 1.5. Go to totalwar.com to download the 1.3 file. I cannot install Alexander without it. What have I done wrong?

Wolf_lone (2013-08-16)

Incredible combo, incredible game, thanks!!

I come back to this upload every time when I need to access the vanilla files. PERFECT upload and PERFECT game. The guy above this post is clueless the poor sap.

i have followed all instructions by steps, during the install of cd3 of rtw i have to ignore some files not found, which then when i try to play i get this on either version. "cannot locate file and just wont go beyond that, any suggestions?

If you follow instructions step by step and do EXACTLY what it says,it will work 1000%. thanks for the upload and the instructions are very clear.

Some notes that I haven't seen in comments yet: CD1 is 'rld-rtwa.cue'
and CD2 is 'rld-rtwB.cue'
and CD3 is 'rld-rtwC.cue'
During the 24hrs :-) that i've spent making this downloaded torrent work, I have to admit I doubted the uploader ...there were highs and lows for sure. But if you persist it will work.
My own solution that worked was; drag and drop the .cue files into Daemon tools. Mount a virtual drive. Drag CD1 into the drive. Use an Windows explorer window to Eject each disc as necessary, then back into Daemon to load the next CD.
Just to reiterate: you DO NOT need to burn physical discs to install this game, which is great.
Rome Vanilla is now installedon my Win8, TY !!!

If you are missing files you may have to re download while not watching Japanese cartoon kiddie porn and thus avoid corruption of the files.

I hope that you PB users in question understand that I meant to say (In harsh terms so you understand) don't run anything else in the background while you download these files and you may find that the install while as a result run smoothly. Other than that I have no idea as this upload works perfectly for me every time and you can see by my past comments that I come back for this specific upload all the time.
