Just discovered the fun of RTW!

[MD]

I can highly recommend the Europa Barbarorum mod, trying to recreated the world of 272 BC -14 AD as accurate as possible. For me it is easily the best and most detailed Roman repuplican era modification out there. It features huge map from spain to India and Scotland to Meroe, multiple dynamic military reforms for many factions, detailed trait system and several hundred units, all completly made from scratch are some of the highlights.

Another excellent mod is Rise of Persia, featuring a 6th and 5th century BC timeframe. Here you can replay Herodotus Histories.

Thanks for the links guys. Once i get my new system set up, will try getting these downloads! My present system wont play RTR, so will have to wait!

[Decimus_Vitus]

I play it as well. It's one of my most favorites.

I bought the full version a few days ago. I keep trying to lay siege on rome with hoplites. Once I saw my siege tower get destroyed while people were still in it! I saw those helpless soldiers, fall to their deaths. I keep trying, though!

Where did you buy it from?

I'm still eagerly awaiting Hegemonia City States.

Currently I'm part of a Medieval 2: Total War modding team, trying to make a full 6th-5th century BC mod set in the Aegean. Persian wars, mostly (a bit like Rise of Persia and Heg).

Hegemonia looks to be an excellent mod, at the minute i'm playing RTR, which I don't think i'll ever get bored of, but i'll definately try out Hegemonia when it's released. I wish you look with your mod aswell

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Well, finally got a home pc which will handle RTR, and sounds alot better than on the feeble laptop speakers. Whoo-hoo! :oops:

[Et tu brute]

Nice one, i'll have to play you online sometime

[DanM]

Now I'm taking over gaul and egypt Muhahahahaha! :twisted:

From the day I discovered the EB mod I never played vanilla RTW or M2TW again (btw also no other strategy game).

I will give RTR a trial however.

[Tiberius Clodius Corvinus]

RTW is the game I've ever been waiting for. For a while I'd been kind of addicted ;-) ) ... thought I had overcome this.

but after reading your posts ... ;-) ) ...

If you thought RTW or RTR was great, play Roma Surrectum! It has taken out all the rather odd units (war pigs and dogs) and now, as Rome, you field 35 legions, all historically accurate in number and name, as well as detailed Areas of recruitment historically accurate as possible to where the legions were acctually raised and/or served. I can post the link if anyone's interested.

For those of you late Rome junkies, Invasio Barbarorum is a Barbarian Invasion mod that I thought was pretty darn accurate. Alot more unit selection than vanilla BI. Palatinae Auxiliaries, Plumbarti and comitatenses cohorts, and MANY foederati and liminatae (SP?) units. Romano British are playable. Just some Ideas I'm throwing out there for those of you who want to field legions... 8)
