    Default Rome

    I am not a very good modder in any way, so I will merely present an idea, and in one word. Rome. Astounding things could be done with the new engine to make a truly epic classical experience, if only there were modders out there wo agreed. If anyone thinks that an ancient mod is a good idea, post it here.

    i dont think the engine is good for a roman mod. from what i've seen, they fight in 18th century style with swords, it would be pretty funny if romans fought like that

    They don't have to fight with guns! I dream of a Rome in there you can change the regime into a republic or dictatorship...

    I would offer my service for such a mod - but first lets wait until CA release the tools

    Sure, make new animations, model new ships, spend 5-6 years modding this game, while CA releases another game in 4 years, and whole new expansion in 2. I'm guessing you haven't done any modding?

    Actually, no serious modding is needed to be done. I mean, you dont want to sit 5-6 years modding (though i doubt its taking that long) So you just import units from RTW and so on, new ships new buildings and a little reforms to the system. Tada, you've accomplished this in 1-3 years ...

    Have you actually ever done any modding?

    i am thinking about making a sparta mod for this, but i am waiting for the game to come [only ordered last night] , so i don’t know if it will be easy to make some units act right, it all depends on just how modabble this game will eventually be.

    i would suggest that if others are thinking similar [anything ancient] then pool recourses!!!!!!!!!!!! it makes no sense to make loads of mods when it is likely that CA will make a rome2 after the expansion to this [my guess anyway].

    i also think shogun2 may work better with this?

    also thinking of rescaling the whole game so we can have huge amounts of men on the battlefield.

    ...though i doubt if it will be very moddable for a while [patch1 at least] ~ because of special forces.

    No Roman mod was made for MTW 2,so dont wait any mod for this game.

    most of us hated mtw2 especially for modding, so it all depends on how good empires will be to mod ~ and who gets working on it!

    WAIT! If you look at it this way, you have spectacular results, roman generals doing some fancy fencing animations, spearmen hadnling there spears like guns down to the marching, then the shields, then theres the Cavalry Auxilia dismounting! oh and watch the romans throw there pila via platoon fire. Oh and have any of you guys EVER modded a ship?

    (Its clickable by the way....An S2 overhaul mod.)

    Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

    I would like this idea to become realized as i love the roman era but i am afraid it will take years of development and a lot of work to get all of this done. It would be a gigantic task.

    ooh, trireme battles would be awesome, i wonder what the models are like or if we can even mod them. if we can get at them then it will be possible.

    it will only happen if a big team does it and everyone shares recourses. i expect there are plenty of anims for units already in there. the main thing is the unlimited unit sizes, imagine the awesome battles with celts VS romans etc, this has been a holy grail for many of us, so i expect this game to attract more modders than mtw2.

    EB 2 was being worked on for M2TW, but it is still far from being done. Maybe we could get them to switch right now?
