Developer: The Creative Assembly This game has unused playable characters. |
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
- Mar 27, 2012 Welcome to the Rome: Total War wiki guide. Let me set the scene: You're in your most comfortable chair, sitting in front of your PC, with the lights low, the significant other out of town, and the.
- Unofficial fan site for Rome: Total War, dedicated to bringing you the latest news, guides, FAQ, campaigns, strategies, forums, discussions. Rome: Total War Heaven. Opening Moves - Julii. This guide was written while playing on the hardest difficulty level. It applies to all.
To do: Unsurprisingly, this game has unused units. I am posting a link here that should show how to access the unused units. |
The Julii Ave, traveler, and welcome to the House of Julius. We are the northern Romans, those of the Roman Red capes and have the Laurels of Victory as our symbol. We are an ancient lineage, from a line of kings that was long before Rome herself was even founded.
Take control of a Roman faction in the times of the Roman Republic and expand Rome's borders.

Unused Images
There are several images that go unused in this game. Their file format is in DDS or TGA format.
Loading Screens
Loading Screen One | Loading Screen Two |
Here are pictures of a loading screen that is never seen in-game. The background displays the map made in mosaic, something unique to these screens. The developers seem to have been playing around with the size of the title as it is bigger in the left picture than the right picture. The title in the left picture also has a TM next to it which is lacking in the right picture. The loading bar present here is much larger than what is seen in game.
The information in the center of the right picture is interesting. In the final game, the faction's title is absent and only the faction icon is present in the center. While the House of Julii's faction icon is displayed in gold without a background, while the final uses button designs. This same icon can be seen on one of the soldiers in early leader images section below. Another thing to point out is the date of 502 (presumably BC). It seems to imply that the campaign game was to be started much earlier, predating both the imperial and Sons of Mars campaigns. The imperial campaign ranges from 270 BC to 14 AD, while the Sons of Mars campaign/tutorial ranges from 329 to 290 BC. The difficulty setting text is also absent in the final version.
Faction symbols
To do: There appear to be models associated with these as well in datamodels. |
Armenia
Armenia ('low')
Britons
House of Brutii
Carthage
Dacia
Egypt
Gaul
Germania
'Greek Cities'
House of Julii
Macedon
Numidia
Parthia
Kingdom of Pontus
Macbook pro beeping 3 times. House of Scipii
Seleucid Empire
S.P.Q.R.
Slaves/Rebels
Spain
'Thrace'
In datamodelstextures is an entire set of faction icons using model renders instead of buttons. The House of Julii icon also features in one of the loading screens above. The Greek and Thracian symbols appear to have been erroneously attributed to each other; Thrace normally feature a snake on their banner and the Greek Cities use lightning. Armenia has two renders, with the side-on view labeled as 'low'. They both don't have transparent backgrounds either.
Test Images
dummy.tga.dss
This dummy texture is found twice: in *Rome Total WarDatamodels_landscapetextures and *Rome Total WarDatasettlement_plansunderlaystextures. Judging from the first location, it appears that it was used as a test texture for landscapes. The second file location has the texture associated with settlements in some way. This file has a creation date of 3/7/2002.
rgb.tga
This image can be found in *Rome Total WarDatamenu. It seems that the developers were screwing around with three colors. The title could mean RedGreenBlue but only blue is found in this picture. This file has a creation date of 5/21/2002.
Early Leader Images

Image |
These images are very unique. At a first glance, they simply depict Roman infantry. Their file names say that these were supposed to be the leaders of the Julii, Brutii, and Scipii. It isn't known whether these were leaders of the factions themselves. However, these pictures share similar names of used pictures of faction leaders at the beginning of a campaign game. Regardless of what these images were supposed to be used for, their styling is unique for Roman infantry. Judging that the shape of their shields resembles the shields of hastati, principes, and triarii, these images should have been seen from the beginning of a campaign game. The design of their shields is also unique as there are no Roman units in the final game that carry shields with these unique designs. In fact, some of the shields show what appear to be early versions of their faction icon on their shield.
Early Campaign map
This one's rather interesting. Located under Dataworldmapsbasemap.FE.tga, dated Thursday, September 2, 2004, 10:05:48 PM is a normally unused smaller world map.The image is used for the starting territories map, when a normally unplayable faction is modded in and selected.

Early Battering Ram
There's an Early Battering Ram during the game's intro. It's unknown why the devs decided to change the Battering Ram.

Hidden Dev Tool
Adding enable_editor to the games' shortcut target, it's possible to access the battle editor which is used to create historical battles. When entering the battle editor, players can select places, as maps, and pretty much mess around. The Creative Assembly doesn't support the Battle Editor: 'The Battle Editor is intended for advanced users and is not supported. It is possible to create battles that do not work properly, or edit Historical Battles so that they cannot be won. Please refer to your documentation. Please do not contact Activision Customer Support for assistance with these tools.'

Campaign Descriptions
Macedonia and Pontus have campaign descriptions despite not being unlockable for the campaign, although they are rather trivially modded back in. The formatting has been altered for presentation here as the plaintext for both is one long string. Paragraphs in the plaintext are denoted with nn.

Cut Faction
Several icons and flag graphics exist for a cut faction: the Illyrians. Unfortunately, none of them are unique, borrowing from either Thrace or (more frequently) Greece.Not much is known about this Mysterious Faction. It's possibly cut early in development due to a 20 Playable Factions Limit. The Illyrians have been relegated to a rebel faction in the final game.
Unused Units
Iberian Spearmen
Normally, Spain can't be played unless with the use of mods like Darthmod or with file edits. Here, the Spanish unit list is unfinished; it's missing Iberian Spearmen. In order to access this unit, do the following:

This guide was written while playing on the hardest difficulty level. It applies to all difficulty levels, however.
Your first turn is pretty simple and not very challenging. You'll want to build a Shrine of your choice in Arretium and Ariminum. You will also want to train a Peasant garrision in both of these cities. Gather the all units in Etruria, including the ones garrisoned in Arretium and attack Segesta to make the Senate happy and add to the lands you control. Assault, you should, be able to annihiliate the enemy. I lost no men at all. When you've captured the settlement choose to Occupy it and build a Governor's House. Move your Spy towards Mediolanium. Move your diplomat as far North as possible. That's it for turn one!
Sometimes you will get a trade rights offer with Gaul before your turn starts again. Do some bargaining if you'd like but keep in mind that we'll be attacking Mediolanium very soon. You'll want to build a Trader in Arretium and Ariminum and a Shrine of choice in Segesta. You'll want to train a unit of Hastati in Arretium, a Town Watch in Ariminum and Peasants in Segesta. Move the army in Segesta to the area right near the border. Adjust the taxes in Segesta as needed. Move your spy into Mediolandium and move your diplomat North again. That's it for turn two!
Build a trader in Segesta. Move all your units, excluding the Peasant garrisons, in Arretium and Ariminum towards Patavium. Train a unit of Hastati in Arretium. Attack Mediolanium. Your Spy will open the gates and you should be able to win the battle easily. Occupy the settlement. Build a Shrine of your choice and train a unit of Peasants. Contine to move your diplomat North. You are attempting to reach Germania. Move the Spy towards Patavium. Your turn is over.

Build Paved Roads in Arretium and Arimunum. Build a Trader in Mediolanium. Train a unit of Hastati in Arretium.Take about half your army in Mediolanium and move it towards Patavium to merge with the troops arriving near there. Keep moving your diplomat North. Your turn is over.
Build Roads in Segesta. Train a Unit of Hastati in Arretium. Lay siege and attack Patavium. Your spy should have opened the gates. Occupy the city and build a Shrine of choice. Your turn is over.
Build Roads in Patavium and Mediolanium. Build Land Clearance in Segesta. Train a unit of Hastati in Arretium. You're set! All your cities should be making a profit at this point. You have captured 3 cities in 5 turns. Impressive and it gives you the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want. You can capture Sardinia, maybe even Palma and if you decide you'd rather not go straight into Europe you can attack Spain and eventually be in a position to attack Gaul from two angles. Perhaps you'd like to gain control of the most advanced city early on? Jump some units on a boat and head down to Carthage, at this point it should be up for grabs. Whatever you decide, best of luck and may the Julii rule the world!
