After installing the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack, any custom music i have no longer works in the game.
Basically, what i used to do is
1. insert any .mp3 files into the /data/sounds directory
2. delete music.dat and music.idx
3. delete events.dat and events.idx
4. edit descr_sounds_music.txt in the /data/ folder such that i include the names of the .mp3 files i copied into the /data/sounds/ directory into the relevant parts.
But after installing the BI expansion, that no longer works and I get no music in-game.
Please help.

The general needs to have a "night" trait.
You can get it if you win enough battles and sometimes the guy is born with it.
And what faction doesn't matter.
In my Allemanni game the second general had a "likes the dark" trait that enable him to fight at night.
And that all cavalry can beat spearman is not true.
Look at this test.

Thanks for answering dude 
Hmm, maybe ive had some generals who had the trait but I doubt it cuz I would have jumped at the chance to battle at nite, I fight all the battles too, no siming. Well, now in my game Ive taken over like 60% of the Roman Western Empire, and still no option to fight at nite? Does it gotta be on hard for both map and battles? or does nite fighting work on hard for map and moderate for battles? |

I dunno man, Im really really really liking this game, its fun, new units, buildings, more factions to play through the game with, different types of attacks, decent graphics...what more can ya ask for from a game? especially one u can play differently an unlimited amount of times
Im sure a patch will be out soon, hopefully to fix the nite fighting thing, I swear i think mine is bugged, but still, its a good expansion imo, worth the money - i have both rtw and rtw:bi orig's right |

The game is good , the problem is , its not using the GPU . We pay for graphic card over 500$ and i expect them to use it .
Most players got FPS under 20 .
Its a joke .
Its not using the GPU , i mean lol .
If the game was using the gpu than i would buy the expansion like i did for RTW.

oh, my bad, I misunderstood.
yeah, thats very true, my card was nuff money and it barely uses it...I can alt tab out of the game and watch a streaming movie pretty much...most new games, my cpu isnt fast enough or his being utilized by the game to much to do that, i have a p4 2ghz. x850 256mb card, 768mb ram |

A short review after completing it a few times ...
- The AI is worthless and smart as a door. I defended a castle with 150 men against 3200 and won quite easy.
- The 'Auto-resolve battle' is random and not based on the sizes of your army.
- The game itself only has a few new units and some religous aspects to it. This could be handled with a free patch instead of an expansion pack because there is hardly any new things in this pack.
- The game gets boring quick since it feels like you have done it all before.
- This game is not worth buying.

You obviously have NO idea what your talking about
You completed this game a few times already ?
There is NO way you were playing it on Very Hard
It has NOTHING to do with size .... "The 'Auto-resolve battle' is random and not based on the sizes of your army. " LMAO no shit!

My experiences with Barbarian Invasion are very good. Movement within tight areas, such as sieges and what have you is much improved. The opposition AI is more adept and challenging, making good use of flanking manouveres and knowing when to sit back or press forward. It'll never replace the geniune challenge of playing against a real opponent online, but given the scope of the game what we have here is both improved suitably from the original and more fun to play with & against.
The new campaign also offers a different kind of approach to the total war franchises usual standard campaign. Instead of starting off with very little and having to make your way to the top you actually begin in most cases with a very large army and very large borders and the challenges this represents is quite enormous at first (when expanding yourself from the beginning you are meticulous in keeping things prim and proper, not allowing unrest to occur - in this instance you don't have a choice; it already has!) The new horde feature that Barbarian factions can fall back on is also a neat addition that has me won over.
One thing you have to remember is that this is merely an expansion pack - it's not a new game, it's not meant to do things differently, it's only intended to add a few new units and 'levels' so to speak. Nothing more.
Barbarian Invasion is a very good expansion, it's not great, it's not excellent. It's just good. If you like Rome Total War you'll like this. Whether you consider it worth paying for depends on a number of factors. It's an expansion pack for starters and when has an expansion pack ever been a 'must buy'?

the AI has been improved, i've played for quite some time now as saxons. and you no longer win battles like these : you got 3000 CPU got 3000 you kill 2900 they kill 100... they actully put up a struggle witch make this quite good according to me, ooh btw is it just me or are those berserker units the lombardian have a bit overpowered? they are insane, my guys got cought in the gate VS them and they went berserk, they were 46 (think its their full size) and they wasted about 500 guys for me.. (my troops got stuck in a big mess in the gate)

Yes battle AI is tangibly different. You will notice it straight away if you played Rome Total War a lot.

I dont think they are born with it.. they gain it over time..
And also i belive some factions are ALOT more likely to have night battles.. eg the goths.
