Hi, im an old fan of RTR and EB, i have not played rome or any other mod for a while, so im kind of outdated on rome mods.
I have checked the TWC awards and i have read about RS being the best mod and i had never heard of it. I have tried it and i find it is great, but since i have not played EB in years and haven't tried newer versions, i would like to know your opinion (as i googled it and cant find a single thread about this, just the old RTRvsEB threads)
So, wich mod is the best
and why?
Is RS really better than EB?
Im specially interested these fields:
- Combat (realism, challenge, ai)
As a member of Rs, you would know what kind of answer i would give
1. Combat! Rs deals with large battles, and 0 recruitment costs.
and we also will have 1 to 2 moves recruitment costs unless that changes.
I have eb, and it takes at least for me 30 moves before i could have a decent battle. Yet it works with balancing your troops, for these battles in EB. Eb deals with high recruitment costs( which takes time as you build your empire. But it depends who you play as a faction.
And this answer is not to say who's better or not. We at Rs don't bash mods but give our opinions.
2. Eb has excellent historical troops, and Rs is having them also.
Except what ifs, on the spartan faction. ( see the Spartan preview )
RS on realism we have an excellent team with research on every unit! Plus the info to prove it. with Tones design team of skinning and models are the best i have seen anywhere. And i have played every mod concerning this Roman period!
3. Challenge!
Oh yes! Not only will you have a fun time creating your empire. But fighting the best free Greeks, free barbarian skins we can find! They have their own designs also and skins. And that,s not accounting the other factions you decide to make war with.
4 The A1 in EB has better script's and more detail you can ever think of! But Rs will have some script's, and we want you to decide where and when to fight! History changes once you start that first turn!
We suggest that you play Rs on hard/hard/ or very hard.
To experience that challenge!
But i test this game at times on med/med and it,s still a very good challenge! The key is watching your money!
- Art (unit design, historical accuracy)
- gameplay in general (realistic, fun, bug-free, solid)
Art? look at the screens! That will show you! Plus we have more than you can ever dream coming soon!
* guess the overall most fun and realistic (both in terms of visuals and gameplay) one wins.
look over all the previews, screen shots, and you will see for your self!
This mod is coming very soon! And its nothing like the old RTW!
Anyways, feel free to introduce points or recommendantions about other mods.
Thanks in advance
Other team members will be happy to give you more details if you like.
thanks for the post!
(PS: i tried to make this a poll, but dunno how to do it)
