Run rome.exe and select 'Total Conquest v2.0' from the drop-down mod list.Sound the call to battle and join legions of players online in a battle to control the Roman Empire! Total Conquest is an exciting and strategic social game where you are a Roman governor developing your own city-state and army.

Unzip total_conquest_v20.zip to your mod folder.

Install EU:Rome Vae Victis (or EU:Rome Gold) and patch to 2.2.

Note that the 'Character Trials' events from 1.3 have not been included as they are out of this mod's scope they'll reappear in a new-and-improved fashion in a future mod.

Removed Roman cores from Tarentum and Ager Bruttius and lowered the civ value in Rome to 75 (from 90!).

Added a several more units to his army and gave him a higher Martial stat with the 'Become Strategos' ambition.

Gave Epirus full control of Tarentum and Ager Bruttius and shifted the focus of the 'Pyrrhus in Italy' event to Tarentum.

Characters no longer donate troops, but rather governors gather troops from clients within their region.

Modified civil war events: fewer 'free army' effects.

AI rulers in these difficulty settings will gain more popularity, characters will gain more loyalty and have fewer populist characters.

Additional benefits for the AI in 'Hard' and 'Very Hard' difficulties.

Takes longer for the event to fire and province must go through a 'partially-absorbed' phase (unless it's already part of the same culture group).

Modified 'Cultural Absorption' event series.

Incorporated The Guisgard's Roman and Illyrian names (still working on a solution for the Hellenic and Persian names).

You'll really need to react quickly to rebels!

Provinces now defect to neighbouring countries if they're held by rebels for more than a few months.

Added ability to release nations that don't exist but have a core on any of your provinces (via decision).Complete re-write of the province secession feature of 1.3.Tweaked version of the 1.3 diploannex feature. Added ability to diplomatically annex vassals.Reduced peace value of provinces when a country is completely conquered (ie, if it controls no provinces) so the victor can demand more.Raised maximum annex size to 6 provinces.I hope to make this mod compatible with most of the other major mods that are currently active, like Epigoni Mod and Lofmod. I've taken this opportunity to revisit some of the features of TCM1.3 and almost completely rewrite the whole mod from the ground up. The VV2.2 patch introduced to modders an easier method of annexing larger countries, so TCM2.0 has taken advantage of this. Like the previous versions of TCM, 2.0 aims to supplement several key features of EU Rome, with a focus on warfare (you don't say!).
