I'm having the same issues as some others re: No Germany/Japan playable and only the western 1/3 of cities loading at all. improvements load across the map. no units load on the map at all. i play BTW through steam
i tried downloading various versions of RTW. Then I deleted every RTW i have, and BTS is still letting me load "RTW" as a mod, and sending me to the same shell mod that only loads 1/3 of the cities. so, i think the problem is with steam bts finding the mod, and the problems i have experienced are the result of steam not finding any RTW mod. I am going to keep looking and see if i can figure out where steam wants me to put these files so it will work. I dont want to reinstall the game.
