I tried several fixes found online such as hex editing, different game and mod versions, renaming things among others and none worked. Until I found someone saying it is mandatory to select those boxes in the Mods secton found inside Options in the game screen.

According to The NPD Group, Rome: Total War was the 20th-best-selling computer game of 2004.[25] It maintained this position on NPD's annual computer game sales chart for the following year.[26] In the United States alone, the game sold 390,000 copies and earned $16.8 million by August 2006.

The series as a whole, including Rome, sold 1.3 million units in the United States by August 2006.[27] By 2013, Rome: Total War alone had totaled 876,000 sales in the region.[28] It also received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[29] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[30]
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (May 4, 2006) - SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced Rome: Total War - Alexander, the latest expansion pack for Creative Assembly's award-winning strategy title, Rome: Total War. Due for release on PC in June 2006, Alexander will utilize the unique gameplay of Rome to bring to life the meteoric rise of one of history's most brilliant generals: Alexander the Great.
SEGA and The Creative Assembly will offer Alexander exclusively for digital download from www.sega.com, www.totalwar.com, and www.sega-europe.com. The expansion offers an epic addition to the Total War series boasting more that 30 hours of gameplay and will feature a brand new campaign game map, spanning Alexander's unification of Greece and his subsequent conquest of the Persian Empire. The expansion pack will also include six new historical battles portraying Alexander's triumphs against the Greek, Persian, and Indian forces. These new battles will also be available for online and LAN multiplayer use.
"The next challenge for Rome: Total War fans has arrived," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "The impressive detail and craftsmanship with which The Creative Assembly has designed Rome: Total War - Alexander is guaranteed to transport players back in time to ancient battlefields to experience some of the most epic battles in human history."
The new historical battles in Alexander unlock sequentially, telling a story and accurately reflecting the conditions that Alexander endured and the tactics he employed.
For the first time in the Total War series, The Creative Assembly is elevating the production values and storytelling of its battles by linking them together with seven high-quality movies featuring the incredible voice talent of Brian Blessed (Alexander and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace). These movies will tell the epic story of Alexander and provide an in-depth historical backdrop to each of the battles.
The new campaign in Alexander will give players the objective of matching the achievements of one of the greatest generals in Western civilization. It adds four new factions to the original game, including the Macedonians and Persians. More than 60 new units are also now available, including Persian scythed chariots, elite immortals, and all of Alexander's most famous units, including the Hypaspists, Phalangists, and Companion cavalry.

The armies of 16 previously locked factions are now at your command, for a grand total of 38 playable factions. And, in a first for Total War, you can now lead your favourite faction to victory in cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, macOS and Linux.
Parents need to know that this is a good thinking game, but it has large-scale, realistic battles. No blood, but convincing sound effects get the point across. Overall, the game is full of historical and educational information, although parents may need to decipher what is real history and what's been added to make gameplay more fun. Parents should also be aware that Rome Total War can be played online, which Common Sense Media does not recommend for anyone under 12.
The original ROME: TOTAL WAR is set from 270 BC to 14 AD, roughly following the transformation of the Roman Republic, controlled by the Senate, into the dictatorship of the Roman Empire. Following many campaigns against the other civilizations of the era, players attempt to gain total control of Rome and become the dictator of the Roman Empire. Both expansion packs, BARBARIAN INVASION and ALEXANDER, require the original game to play and are more difficult. Barbarian Invasion is set after the split of the Roman Empire into the Western and Eastern Empires and chronicles the decline of the Western empire; Alexander doesn't focus on Rome, instead following the conquest of Greek warrior Alexander the Great.
Complete the online application. Previous experience is not a requirement although it could be useful to you on a personal level, in order to reflect on the cultural differences between Italy and the U.S.
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 phone off the hook. You're about to conquer Rome. The sun has just gone down, and you're not planning on stopping until long after the sun has come back up. I'm assuming that you've already put on your toga (see instructions, below.) It's time to crush anyone who stands in your way. But how? I wrote up this strategy guide because there was a definite lack of basic Rome: Total War strategies anywhere else. Even the 'official' strategy guide is just page after page of pictures of the units. Great -- that's what they look like -- but how do you use them? We want some vici, not just the vidi! Fear not, Roman. Whether you're new to the game or you're an advanced player who just wants to compare notes, this strategy guide will go over what it takes to win the single-player campaign game. It'll also cover some general strategies that you can apply to the historical missions and even multiplayer, although the online crowd will prove to be your toughest opponent. The cornerstone of my strategy is a little something I like to call, 'Smackus Maximus.' The secret is to always apply the most pressure to your enemy's weakest point. It's all about having the best economy, the best generals, the best governors, and the best battlefield tactics -- a fight fought on your terms is a fight you can't lose! Read on to discover how Smackus Maximus can work for you.
The add-on's scope is a bit more limited than the previous Rome: Total War expansion pack, Barbarian Invasion, as befitting its download-only distribution at a cut-rate price of $14.95. For that fee, you get one campaign encompassing Alexander's blitz of the Near East, six historical battles from Alexander's early career, and new multiplayer options, where you can set up two-on-one and three-on-one matches and tournaments online.
New multiplayer and skirmish rules enhance the replay factor, too. Being able to set up lopsided battles and wage war in multibattle (best of three or best of five) tournaments adds new wrinkles to online play and solo skirmishes against the computer. Unfortunately, these rules can only be used with the expansion and its Macedonian, Persian, Indian, and Barbarian factions, not Rome: Total War or the Barbarian Invasion add-on.
The Palatine Hill is a vital piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Ancient Rome, whose spectacular ruins are far too often overlooked by visitors to the city en-route to the nearby Colosseum and Roman Forum. But the Palatine is where the long history of Roman civilization began, and where the powerful Emperors of the Imperial age ruled over one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. Rich in history and wonderfully evocative of that distant time, it is one of the must-visit sites on any trip to Rome. Find out what to see and get the lowdown on its fascinating history with our online guide.
