Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Dunno if this is deliberately, but if I put my Arstibara in a nice line all next to each other, and then move them all to another spot, it's like a really crooked line.
Right now my formation was ______________
Then I moved them and it was ___ ___
--------
edit: oh bah it didn't include my spaces ...
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Development on 3.0 has been kinda slow recently (work etc), but in July I'll have some free days so it should be possible to get the build in a near-release state. Will keep you updated!
We did use 3dsmax indeed, there are plenty of tutorials for this in the TWC forums.
Béset: Is it possible to include a screenshot of the (de)formation? Would be interesting to see
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Aah ... I'll see what I can do, I finished my Persian campaign, and am off to make the macedonian empire on Roma Surrectum

this might be little late to answer your question to beret, but heres the pic:

as you can see, officers are in the line, but their units stay behind them, this comes after you move them, and drag them to some formation, and boom, I don't remember does this happen to those armoured ones too
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
When I try to play a campaign, i get a "cannot find rop_general.cas" error could you please help, I used my install on BI (possible connection?)
I haven't tried custom battles yet though.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
A stupid question on my behalf - what is the preffered difficupty to play as Sparta. The description says that they are hard to play. I think medium or hard, but not vh, am I right?
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
note: Campaign difficulty "Very Hard" is said to be bugged, in that the player recieves the bonuses instead of teh AI. This makes Hard actually more difficult than Very Hard. Battle Difficulty fuctions as it should.
On your question: really personal preference. I don't notice much difference except for the far less logical diplomacy AI on hard. Just try for yourself.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
I'm really liking this mod. Started as Kyrene and got attacked by Kemet the first opportunity they got, when I took the region west of their capital. I have no problems with the tactical part, but economically Egypt is much stronger, plus far more concentrated than my strip of an empire. I haven't been able to get my allies to join in. Any suggestions on how to get the upper hand?
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing special next to just conquering them. Your troops outmatch theirs by far :)
Re: Frequently Asked Questions

Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Reinstall or open files on the RTW disc I and copy/paste mss32.dll into your game directory.

That they do, but I was really in a tight spot there, heh. It took a distraction from Kush to get the upper hand over the Kemet. Love the mod so far, though the faction's roster is kind of inflexible, and skirmishers suck.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
That's because the greeks were:
1. Not the focus of the mod;
2. Never good at any other form of warfare.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Well, the mod couldn't be more expanded on the Greek part, as it is already as expanded as it can be. They simply weren't that advanced yet (it's not Classical Greece. It's Archaic)
2. Agreed
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
If I were you ( Rop developer) I would even think about cutting off the Italy and Sicily and repleacing Taras with some Eastern faction
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
That would not go well with the masses (read: greek fanboys).
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Mh..actually I agree with demagogos nicator, even tough the tarantine cavalry is really cool... :)

As do I, but most of the people who download this mod just want to play the archaic greek city states.
They have a long way to go to understand that Cyrus II was one of the greatest and most important individuals ever.
I would easily place him above Alexander III.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Alexander The Cruel is overhyped. Phyrrus of Epiros would be better even. Didn't have such a huge ego.
Re: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Creating an empire stretching from Lydia to India from a small satrapy is just so many times greater than destroying a tottering and revolt ridden empire with the most advanced army of your day, and then failing to provide a substitute to that.
It was really a barbarian invasion, nothing more. Bear in mind that many of the greatest greek philosophers/scientists/generals, even Herodotus, lived in persia.
