I played RTR Gold edition and then I tried RTR Platinum edition.As far I encountered this:
- the battlefield in Platinum is not green as in Gold (the colors in Gold are more beautiful - Why is that ? Am I missing something here?)
- the sky is not the same.I tried to get the realistic lanscape mod but without luck and even so I don't have a clue if that is supposed to work with platinum edition.I 've read the threads but it seems that no one knows so far...(The colors of the sky and all reflections of the sea are GONE in Platinum edition - Does anyone know why? )
- An annoying bug is this: When you enter in battlemap and you have reinforcements (with a member of family/general) EVEN if you uncheck the box, WANTING to control both TROOPS ( yours default and the other one) when I arrive on the field ...OOPS...I can't controll them both! Why is that? In Gold edition I could...Did no one encounter this bug ?? Strange because I lost almost a day reading the threads hopping someone else noticed it...Tzzzz...
- I 've noticed two more bugs (in Gold edition , I know you won't believe me, I NEVER encountered a BUG, EVER) when I sieged a city with four towers , one of them gave me trouble.Something there stopped me taking advantage of that cohort.They were running like Tom and Jerry but without hope of entering the tower and further,to the walls...I tried to rout them out and in but no luck, they were just hitting agains the tower...
The second bug I encounterd it in a city siege working my way through to the "city hall plazza"....A principes cohort after finishing some enemies arrived in the plaza (the plaza was empty and the enemies encountered by this cohort were all put to sleep...I noticed the bug because the cohort was halt but the PANEL CARD announced me that the cohort is...fighting! When I looked closer (zoom) somewhere on the road, back...there was a SINGLE soldier from the cohort who seems to...like hitting over and over the enemy corps left there....Maybe some old grudge...llloollll
I discovered something rather funny than useful...In a battle with reinforcements I waited for the nobil llooll... member of the family with his troops to enter the battlefield (I couldn't controll him , of course,as I've explained above).When he was close enough I challenged the enemy from the opposite flank (I had three PRINCIPES cohorts, the enemy had also three cohorts and three more were closing in...) in passive mode (they were just throwing pilla at the gauls hords).The enemy charged me and I entered the fight.It soon began a matter of life and death....(I was 3 vs 6 cohorts) and , guess what, the "general" I was expecting to join the fight was marching 200 yards of me and didn't give any sign that he would do so....
I was left after battle with a quarter of each cohort alive...and they said the Platinum edition has a better AI....
Well I presume, observing the manouvers of the general unit, that he was cautious....Maybe that is the improving they were speaking about.
Bottom line...Platinum sucks compared with the GOLD edition.Wasn't it supposed to be better ???
I would appreciate very much solving the colors (field and sky) problem and that AI uncheck button bug ! Thank you in advance.
One final question: How many "stars" must have a general to attack the enemy at night?
PS - A big thank you for the team behind all those mods and for the guys responsable with logistic and info (the forum I meant)!
