Great work. The units are totally a whole level above the ones in the original RTW.

I will try to avoid combat with the seleucid in RS 2 because of the huge risk of humiliation.

Be kind, not everyone can spell and he said in a different post he was dyslexic, at least his posts are legible if you read them phonetically.

[spanish_emperor]

OMG OMG i will definitely be the selecuids 1st when it comes out

btw how long has RS:2 been in the making

[tone]

Well the mod was first released January 2007. DVK had been working on RS1 for about a year at that point. I along with one or two others like cherryfunk came on board in November / December 2006 initially to beta test, but I felt that the graphics needed a bit of a boost and started first of all with changing skies, then the Roman shields, then started skinning in a bigger way in Jan / Feb 2007. Skinning and modelling for RS2 really started almost exactly a year ago, but is gaining pace.

So I guess we could say that work has been going on for about a year.

[spanish_emperor]

wow
you guys must be the most committed guys ever.
you inspire everybody around
+rep

keep up the good work and i can't wait for RS:2

[Erwin Rommel]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[EternalSlayer]

Whatever it's based on, it makes me soooooo look forward to playing them.

[pseudocaesar]

No it wasnt actually, we just made it up. What a coincidence!!

[Erwin Rommel]

riiiiiiiight

[tone]

What do you think?

[pseudocaesar]

We used archaeological evidence, reliefs, primary source descriptions, statues etc, armour finds, to piece it together. The guy that made that drawing just must have used the same evidence we did.

[Odovacar]

Whoah..my favorites were the Seleucians too...I preferred them from all greek factions...

Imagine whats like seeing this army..the very ground shakes under the feet of elephants, ironclad cataphracts in shining armour on the eastern steppes, horse archers on swift horses, and then the mighty silvershields arrive to show their might...

[Blackshamrock.]

I Don't Fancy taking my Legions up against that lot. They look awesome.

[Kubelwagen]

Quick question: Will the Ptolemies get African elephants? Or will there be some method of "capturing" enemy Indian elephants, as they often had to do this?

[tone]

Ptolemies will only have African elephants unless they take regions right at the Eastern border of the map to get some Indian ones, but we're also talking about them starting with a very limited number of Indian ones right at the start to try and replicate the rough historical situation.
