Well unfortunatly our chief skinner Finn went to the Russian army for a year, so we are basically at the same number of men

[Dan Rares]

Let's all hope that this mod will be out before Finn will have finished his military duty.

Keep up the good job, I'm looking for a new preview maybe a Getai one, who knows .

[tomySVK]

I didnīt know Finn is from Russia, they very talented artist from Russia - Finn, the Variag mod team. Also I want to wish good luck to Finn in his military duty.

Probably not, unless we get plenty of new members... Working on a project like this when you have to work and study + have other things to do is really demanding...

But you never know. The groundwork would've been already done (research etc...), so who knows

Congrats on the new team member. So when will the next faction preview be out?

[Agent007]

Hello good people, long time no see. Is there a Summer preview being forged in the EB:NOM dungeons? Cheers!

[Jezza93]

Can't believe I only just heard about this. Great to finally see a mod which will allow me to start from the Marian reforms. I don't dislike the punic wars but when almost every mod starts at that point it gets VERY DULL.

So this should be great!

[TheRomanRuler]

Will it be released before EBII ?

[Anubis88]

Is that a trick question?

[Jezza93]

Is that a trick question?

I'd like to know the answer too,I naturally assume it will be out long before EB2.

[Boriak]

I was just thinking about something. Since this mod offers excellent role-play opportunities, would it make sense to have more than four turns per year? I imagine if you keep the 4 turns, the major characters could die quite fast. Sula, Marius, Mithridates and Sertorius were not young men during this period.

Anyway, just a thought. I'll play the mod in either case.

This.
just wanted to come here and give my support to this mod which really looks wonderful. I'm also extremely bored with the fact that every major RTW mod starts around the First or Second Punic wars. It's not that I don't like Punic Wars: it is that for the past 8 years I have played more than enough with hastati-principe-triari -trio.
It is very strange that there are hardly any mods set in late Roman republic, not to mention Principate era. After all those are the periods of Rome's greatness!

Good luck with this mod and I'm eagerly waiting to see it finished!

[Diocletianus]

There are few questions that roams my minds on this mod :
1.Do you plan to have custom skins for city on campaign ?
2.Will you include population control building like suburbs and cities (RSII ) ?
3. Will you remake the map or keep the EB map ?
4.Will you include scripted events ?

[Anubis88]

1) Not planned for the first release
2) I'm not familiar with that feature, as i've never played RSII for more than a few minutes... Too much of an EB fan
3) The map will be changed; new province distribuition in almost the entire map to reflect the geopolitical situation in 80bc
4) Yep, definetly

[Ptolemy1Soter]

Will this mod come out soon, or is there still much work to do? This mod looks amazing and this era in a mod is something you just have never seen before this, also i wonder why aren't there historically accurate mods for periods like the rise of macedon from the era of Philip II and Alexander the Great. But i'm waiting for this mod, definitely, looks just so awesome, and i bet, this will be even more amazing in gameplay compared to all other mods due to the fact of getting the chance to for example, defeating the romans and reforging Alexander's empire with some of the hellenistic factions, and if i decide to go as rome i can start with imperials and not with the hastati, principe, triarii army as mentioned before, normal EB gave something better as they added camillan era, but that unfortunately was just a phase, and after polybian reforms, i just realized i had played hastati, principe, triarii -phase 2 times before i got marian reforms. But EB is great because it has so many hellenic factions, which are my favourite ones.

[Ptolemy1Soter]

I also hope that this mod would take some regions out of the dense places and add them further to India, would be awsome if you made more India visible than the quarter that is seen in the Regular EB map, good work so far and good luck ahead!

[Diocletianus]

Thank you for answering my questions ! I am awaiting this mod : RSII is a great mod but, the script is sometime buggy and the end game does not reflect the mediteranean world during the first century BC and AD.

[BroskiDerpman]

Especially the 0 turn recruitment=stack spam and blitzkrieg. The one turn recruitment for RS2 needs to be balanced.

This is just my opinion.
