Well I must admit that I saw this after my last post, if I remember correctly there were problems problems with non US/ non UK English OS version, but maybe that was just for the first version of the installer. However you can use one of the manual patches from the Apolyton Directory.

To clarify, the current apolyton download is a complete copy of my working AOM game folder from my PC. It has been tested by transferring to the lap top and will run as long as I have the ctp2 disc in.

Actual I my question was and is whether the download of AOM contains a texture.dat, since it contains a userprofile.txt it contains a ..\ctp2_program\ctp\ folder that contains a texture.dat in order to run your CD.

Of course it runs as long as you use the same CD, or any CD that contains an identical texture.dat.

I have two CDs: One from December 2000 and another one from let's say March 2001, the main different that the newer CD comes with the patch included and with a different texture.dat. The result is that I cannot run CTP2 with it as long as I don't replace the texture.dat in my ..\ctp2_program\ctp\ folder with the one from that CD.

That explains it then, in part at least. I received complaints that xplosiv ctp2 CD's from England were throwing up this error so I stopped getting them in.

I meant thatn there is another possible reason for people playing AOM getting a "cant find ctp2 disc" error.

This is an announcement to let people know I am working on the "Icing on the Cake" of AOM.

The diplomacy update meant that once you achieved diplomatic relations with ai (the more aggressive ones were harder, but eventually came across), you were in control of the game, a little too early IMHO.

The problem here was that AI rarely break their treaties against a more powerful player. But AI vs AI war would continue.

So I am working on an update that does 2 main things.
1) Causes the AI to possible cancel treaties if your aggression level is too high. As part of this, you may be forced at time to give PW aid to an ai or suffer an aggression increase for being heartless. More aggressive AI personalities will cancel their treaties earlier than passive AI.
2) In AI vs AI wars where the AI are close to the human, I am attempting to get those AI to make peace with each other and sign a peace treaty.

Some other things include:
a) making the AI attack a little better against the human,
b) a palace coup option in case you are facing sucession problems (which can happen if you find a King in a ruin),
c) multiple victory options (Science and diplomacy),
d) more ways for frenzy to go up and down, and
e) a small variation for which turn certain historical events occur (the current turn being the earliest now and they may ocur up to 10 turns after that).

I will also be looking at the across water invasion issue.

Work will then commence to transfer AOM to ACS.

Which version of AOM are you using?

The latest Apolyton download is a complete copy of a game file and will not need patching with the activision patch. You should be able to play it from the modswapper in the main AOM_5.05.05 game folder after you unzip it or just copy and paste out of the zip folder if uisng Win XP.

If your game does not recognise the CTP2 disc (which has been happening in the case of some Xplosiv versions of ctp2 out of the UK), go to here and their are 2 fixes.
