A short and simple guide for transferring saves from the orignal Rome:Total War to the remastered version. (Windows 10).
Note: Replays cannot be transferred as trying to load an old replay in Remastered will instantly crash the game.
Finding and Copying the Original save
Note: Most people’s Steam folder is located in the “c: Drive”. If yours is located elsewhere, replace “c:” with whatever letter your drive usesc: Drive

saves
Copy
Right click the save you want to transfer and copy it, once that is done, proceed to the next step.
Moving/pasting the save to the Remastered folder
Note: Replace “c:” with whatever letter your drive uses. Replace “UserName” with your PC user name (may not be the same as system name)c: Drive

Username
This folder will be named whatever your PC user name is

Paste save file
Paste the save you copied earlier here
Load and Play
After you’ve completed the above steps and copied and pasted the folder to the new destination, launch Rome Remastered and load the save just as you would any other. If all goes as planned, the game should load in and let you play, Congratulations, you’ve successfully transferred your save from the Original version to the Remastered version, if you’re able to successfully complete the game using an old save, please let me know and provide screenshots too!
This should also work for Barbarian Invasion and Alexander though I currently haven’t tested either, if you want to transfer saves for those games, you’ll want to use their respective folders instead of the Rome one.
