Sp-who?

Sp-who?

Uh, I think he said Senatus Populusque Romanus(SPQR).

Will RS2 still focus on the roman faction or every faction will be balanced? I saw many overhauled factions in units, what about their system? I mean Roman got reforms, governors and empire management system, do other factions have too? Like in some mod they have reforms for armenian kingdom to empire, army reform for carthage, greek family members trained in sparta, satrapy for seleucid family members, and many scripts. Things like that.

I smell EB in the air.

No matter how much I pander to Dvk and Tone to give Armenia reforms (), RS will never copy EB in execution of these if they are ever added. Once all of the units and campaign maps are complete for RS2 it may be considered, though I doubt it will involve as many scripts as EB, if any.

[Burninator]

RS2 Isn't focused just on the Romans. In fact, a lot of the real work has been done to everyone else. I've only just been chipping at some of the Roman units. And no, It's not gonna be an EB super accuracy, super-scripto mod. We're really going for a slow, steady evolution, one that's ultimately decided by how you play and act, not by scripts.

[Blackshamrock.]

It sounds good man what ever you do.

My\our appraoch in Roma Surrectum is intended to be 'as accurate as possible', and as fun to play as possible in one package. Sometimes those two are 'exclusive' to one another......and where they are, I choose 'as fun to play as possible', because ultimately, this is a History game meant to be fun.

The ONLY thing I like about EB unlike what other people think is the awesome looking water, cool buildings, and graphics. It d**n slow even while in campagan.

RS is a really fun RTW game. But I quit playing it coz I felt I am only playing
Roman superiority and was destine to conquer and the other factions are minor roles.

But After I check all the previews of RS2, they are .

I just wonder what other features it has? Or just new units and buildings?

RS2 has a new campaign map, a new start time (218BC), new factions, and the start positions of existing factions have been altered due to the change in time.

That's great!! A different time frame. Altered start positions means different starting experience.

With all these questions you have, maybe you can look at the faction preview threads like the Seleucids, Pontus, and Armenia, then you will be surely convince this mod is not just focused on Rome.

i was actually mocking the spartans, but forgot to put in the "" that would indicate my humour!

Yeah, I kew that I saw the post I was just having a joke, by the way dont you use this instead of this?

Actually in 2.0 we're going to remove Rome as a faction -- I mean every other mod has them anyway -- and replace them with... the Irish! Never before seen in any mod! Ever!

[Daus Maximus Jade]

You know, that is probably a good idea! After all who needs Legions when you can have... uhm Riverdance Battle Line?

[Ephialtes The Dog]

Woah, that will definitly make this the best mod ever.

Yeah, and since Seleucid has been in every mod as well...we were actually fooling around with all you guys because they're getting removed to.....in favor of very strategically important Kingdom of Iceland. :
