RS & BI - Quintus Sertorius - 11-10-2008
I have always loaded RTW and patches 3 & 5, then RS. The game plays well. I am reading the above to say that I can load it over BI and access the features such as shield wall - am I right in this interpretation?
Re: Rome Total War - tone - 11-10-2008
Wrong. The extra features need to be coded for, which they're not.

What? As in other patches, or they have not been coded for at all, and are not available?

RTR is one of the best mods I know, I didn't spend a year playing the mod, installing/uninstalling for nothing. I played some of my best campaigns with the 6.0, I was at the gates of Thessalonica and then came the 6.1 and my save was lost. Now only the memory remains
but it's a darn good memory.

Didn't like most of the unit skins (Spartan hoplites specifically). I did like the map, though. Northern Greece wasn't so barren...

Re: Rome Total War - Praefectusclassis - 11-27-2008
Hi Mark
Have you tried doing nothing for about a minute? It's a demanding game and lots of info needs to be loaded. It sometimes does take a while for the splash screen to appear.
Re: Rome Total War - Gaius Julius Caesar - 11-27-2008
Also, if there is a small box in the bottom task bar, which says Rome:total war, click on it.....
Mine does this occassionally....more so with the RS version though.
Re: Rome Total War - Marcus Germanicus Ferox - 11-27-2008
Thanks chaps
Byron - have tried the little box at the bottom......no joy.
Jasper - I've not left it for over a minute... BUT..... this is the second disc I've got.... I took it back and changed it and installed the latest DIVX stuff, thingy, wotsit.... Iam sure it is not my machine??
Mark.

Re: Rome Total War - Gaius Julius Caesar - 11-27-2008
Excellent!
You can recruit govenors and generals, and it has distinct legionary troops and auxilliary after the marian reforms....but you can have fewer armouries....it is a more complex game.....
there is also proconsular and other ranking options, which I assume are assigned to the govenor of the region when you select it....
great new version of the game...
Some of the developers on here will be able to tell you more accurately of the features though.

I have vague memories of RTR having similiar mods..is the marian reform event scripted? In RTR it wasn't.
Re: Rome Total War - Titvs Statilivs Castvs - 11-27-2008
In RS you actually have 2 reforms. The "Marian Reforms" of vanilla RTW are now called the "Imperial Reforms".
The Marian reforms are represented by the "very early legions", which you can train in Army Barracks (Large City). However, this is not a complete reform. It's just in the city you build these barracks, you can train them, but this does not affect your complete empire.
