A New Add-on for RTR Platinum v.1.9 (mod switch version)

[Iulianus Apostata]

Hi guys,
This is the first time i write in this great forum!
I have finished a new add on that improves Rome Total Realism !:

The mini-mod adds the following things:

1) Now all factions units recruitment (no more only the AOR units), is regulated by AOR. I have added a lot of new hidden_resources.
Now the pre-marian roman units are reclutable only in Italy (from Etruria to Calabria). The post-marian EQUITES ALARES are recltuatble only in particular areas (no more in Italy).
The post-marian legionary cohorts are reclutable in Italy (from Calabria to Cisalpine Gaul, Venetia, Liguria and Histria).

2) Put off the marian reform with a stratagem. Now the marian reform will happen more late (i hope it will happen around 107 a.c.).

3) Added the "Marcus Camillus' 4tpy Mod v1.9.6".

4) Added new starting territories for Romans and Carthaginians. Now the Roman faction will start with Latium, Picenum and Campania and also with Lucania, Samnium, Etruria and Umbria (according to the historic situation in 280 a.c.).
The Carthaginian faction will also start with Mauretania and Numidia occidentis.

5) Reclutable generals.

6) Reintegrated some siege machines: onagers (for Romans) and catapults (for the other factions).

7) Improved some animations.

8) The patch also contains the CTD fixes version 2.

--This minimod will only work with the "mod switch version" of RTR Platinum v 1.9.
To install the minimod, simply extract the "Data" folder and copy and paste into the " RTRPE" sub-folder located in your Rome Total war folder.

Great initiative. Except for point 6) , I think that this is a great addition to the mod. + Rep

[AngryTitusPullo]

Good work, though I would suggest it renamed as mod or add-on for RTRPE. Patch might sound as an 'official' version which I believe there's no more release for RTRPE.

[Iulianus Apostata]

Thank you

[DraeKlae]

Looks like a really great add-on! But did you miss point 4 or what?

[Iulianus Apostata]

ah yes ...ehehehe

[confidential0216]

Any reason this link will not work?

[verenuspulo]

link off!
please reup it...

Why not point seven?

Did you edit those animations yourself?

Overall it looks pretty good

Do you want me to add this to the RTR Mod Index? If so, then you will need a name for this mod (and a working download link which, according to the two posts above here seems to be missing)

Link does not work, please give new one! Help!

After the Salvor Hardin's post i have changed the order of the points in my patch presentation .The old point seven now is the point six.Salvor Hardin refers to the onagers...He dont' like them in my patch.

I don't have edited the animations myself..

Yes !I want to add this to the RTR Mod Index!I will find a name for this !

I have re-established the links!They now work again!

[PatriciusMaximus]

Hey, thanks that you bring back the Onagers and Catapults. Im playing R-TR for a long time now and was very sad that there where no catapults in the Mod
But could you please maybe also bring back Roman Style Archers....I cannot believe that the Romans had no own Archers.
Also great would be a more Hoplite Like Spartan Looking...It must not be 300 Style, but somelike this way....

I would try it myself but I have no idea about modding RTW....But i will try first steps later this day...but sadly I have found no roman archers units for DL..
Also I miss the typical Quarter Shields Roman Legiones, why are they not in TR, the are historicall correct ?

Man How I dream to add this units to my RTW TR PE mod

[Turkeys!]

The download link for the Interfaces doesn't work.

[Iulianus Apostata]

ok.I will remake it.

[Lysimachus]

Patricius Maximus, at this time most hoplites wore a linthorax cuirass, used a hoplon, xyston (correct me here, i'm pretty sure that's a cavalry spear) and helmet rather than in 300 with the brown pants, gold shields and red cloaks. After the introduction of peltasts, the demise of the hoplites had began.

[Caligula Caesar]

xyston (correct me here, i'm pretty sure that's a cavalry spear)

I think you are looking for "Sarissa", the Macedonian long spear.

[Lysimachus]

Also great would be a more Hoplite Like Spartan Looking

Not even the late Spartans used Sarissas did they?

It's a shame peltasts do practically nothing to hoplites in RTR. You have to get behind them to do any damage at all, when in reality they would produce massive casualties even from the front.

[Lysimachus]

Use Thureophoroi then. Strong missile ability as well as capable flankers. Don't bother using them as your main battle line though, their lack of defence skill will get them torn to pieces.

[JrvUnleashed]

Yeah, any Illyrian battle line I have consists of mostly skirmishers and cavalry, which a few hoplites. When you upgrade them they tear hoplites to pieces from the sides though. 1 volley takes out around 10. It's pretty crazy.
