Rise of Persia III - Preview I

[kaesonius]

Well said Bulletproof. I wish to put this to an end and bury the hatchet. (dig dig dig 'thonk' dig dig dig)
Trolling sucks, If I inadvertently trolled anyone then I hereby man-up and apologise. It is an immature practice and I wash my hands of all involvement.

Once again, I have an on topic question. In ROP 3 will the fringe factions, by this i mean the Bactrians, Massegetae etc. be playable? If so, will they have expanded AOR and unit rosters?

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

The Bactrians will certainly be playable and have their own roster. The Massagetae will probably be playable, but we'll still have to see about their roster (they'll have at least a few new units. At least)

[kdub22]

Can you divulge any information on the Skudata/Scythians at this point?

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Nope, not yet

[rez]

I can tell you that they are proving hard to conjure up. The Massagetae will at least get some placeholder units but the Skudata will probbaly need to be made from scratch and that will take me too long to put into the next release.

Sorry folks

Scratch that. I've got placeholders for the Skudata. They aren't final and one day they will be upgraded but they're decent for now.

Sooooo, this mod looks awesome. I am really looking forward to the end product!
Just out of curiousity, what kind of plans do you have for it?
How many versions do you intend to put out before the final?

Any players out there have input, or comments on the mod?
I would like to hear some about it, like how long and enjoyable the battles are.

Dunno - I'm just a humble coder, not a mod leader. I guess our plan is just to finish this version; we'll see from there.
The thing is, the mod is already "finished". We're counting to v3, not to v1. Anything below v1 is "unfinished", anything above is "finished". We are just adding and changing stuff for v3.

We haven't come to really balance the battles yet, but it is certainly on our list.

If you use Hoplites you can't lose and battles are super easy.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

You're gonna love v3.

I hope this is gonna be fixed.

[ithinkitsdead]

Well, balancing battles is a really time consuming task, so I understand.
I will install and see if I can't be of use to ya.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Everyone who can make themselves useful is welcome in the team

[ithinkitsdead]

I'm still waiting on my new copy of RTW to come in, but once I get it, I will start working on battle balancing.

Be sure to inform me; I could ask Nero to give you access to our dev forum

FIRAT ING POST!!!


The new Anusiya look awesome.
The skins are better. I like.

Also, a larger map is always for the win!


Keep up the good work.

I think the new anusiyas helmet isn't correct like ROP2.
no offense but they look more Arabic than persian.

the would look better IF you guys change their helmet.

As i said in your PM they wear that head dress because it is exactly what they wore back then.

The ROP 2 helmet was a parade hat we only included for variety's sake. Now the immortals are actually wearing proper battle dress.

do this Immortals have scarfe (okey head dress)

anyways I don't care it's your mod I respect you guys so do what ever you think is good, so no hard feelings

[kdub22]

I can't wait until this mod comes out. As Shogun 2 is proving to be fairly disappointing.

Where do you see any helmets anyway?

As I said in my original response, that is parade dress and was not worn into battle. The only depiction of a Persian wearing that head dress to fight is in the idealised images of the royal hero (much like naked hoplites).

there is a reason there aren't any Greek depictions of the crown hat and thats because the Persian soldiers they encountered were all wearing the soft hood that the new immortals have.
