Hi Sujal. You must download 7Zip or WinRAR (free software) to extract the rar files. Then you can continue with the setup.exe 🙂
7zip makes it a bin file for some reason and i will not open
I don’t know how to open the downloaded file. Its in rar. extension. Someone help
Please do not download the current version on this site. It’s a scammy repack from an old website that’s now infected with a trojan.
The repack does not include the entire game, it is not updated, and it is only compatible online with people who are using the same repack.
You can get the full, original game with the latest updates from T3A:Online on Revora Forums or from the patch teams at Gamereplays. The games are constantly being updated.
Please Old Games Download, get the entire game from either of those sites and upload it here, you have an incomplete game and there are free, better alternatives elsewhere.
I just installed it what do I do ?
Thank you very much. It’s the game of my childhood.

What if i get: “You have to insert game CD to play this game” warning? What should i do? Im on Windows 10, 64bit Please help
Hi
I have the original discs (very scratches) and to prevent using them too often I turned the discs into an ISO file, that can be loaded and you would have no problem. This requires the discs to do so and a program such as MAGIC ISO.
There is also a NO CD trainer. I found mine her – you need to install the game before downloading your trainer. On the start screen you should be able to see, what version of BOME you have installed – and then pick the righ trainer for that version.

The only disadvantage is that it sometimes work, and sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t it either tells you to put in a disc OR cause all your forces to die silmutanously in the middle of gameplay. Very annoying – to which you would need to reinstall the game and trainer, to see if it helped. Remember to save your saved games in a folder.
