so best is to simply accept it or is there any problem with that ?

dont you think that you might have overreacted a bit on this one ?

I think It's the fact that he is blatemtly defying forum rules and moderators.

Maybe a bit, but I wasn't in any mood to merge all his damn double posts.
It is against the rules of TWC (the TOS) so I would have the law on my side if I decided to do it (+ we can ban people from the RS section on twc).

There will be a roma surrectum 3, I'm working on it together with DVK

It will be a huuuuge update with an completely overhauled battlemap environment, new campaignmap textures and vegetation, new thunderstorm skies with mammatus clouds, unique settlements, rebalanced unit stats, a lot of bug fixes, more realistic movement on the battlemap, more realistic movement restrictions for ships (similar to RTRVII) and so much more.

Don't play with me man! Lol

@ant909 I'm not kidding

This would have to mean 2 things:

- I can cut through roman dogs as easily as with other units

- Hoplite formations finally get fixed

**Makrell** · May 09, 2015, 09:33 AM

Indeed, custom settlements are coming, just check the stickies.

**tiepilot98** · May 10, 2015, 04:47 AM

Great news! Will Rome has new legions? And will be old legions rework? And will the legions of Rome dress in a red tunic, besause white tunic in battle is... Unhistorical.

Of all the lovely things I've seen, I was looking forward to a extremely nice RS v2.8.

However, the above concerns me somewhat. v2.6 saw a year of testing and a lot of tweaking. What, please, is likely to be changed - and, most importantly, why?

**dvk901** · May 10, 2015, 09:50 AM

Well, 're-balancing' units is an overstatement. Any work in that area will be offered as an alternative to the existing stats.

There will be, as mentioned, an update and a 'fixing' of some issues with the battlefield environment. 'Wraith of eternal doom' has taken it upon himself to fix some issues with tree models and sprites that were behaving badly in some instances, and he has taken the configuration of the geography database to another level, shall we say, by using unused ground types and adding textures to make battlefields look even better than before. From what I've seen, they look so good it's scary.

The total rework of ALL settlements and settlement types is a given, as I've been working on those for over a year. The idea here is simply to improve settlement game play in 'most' instances by using the better settlement models and in most cases the smaller ones. RTW originally 'expanded' cities by progressively making the settlement models bigger, and then putting huge (mostly) poorly designed building models in them to take up nearly 50% of the space. I have removed these huge buildings in almost all cases, and built cities in smaller city models with new 'living space' type buildings. This is a boon, because the smaller city models have better pathfinding.

There will be various 'bug fixes'.....I have a long list of them that need to be gone through....one big one being a fix for the Hoplites which I think I've found.

We could still call all this RS2.xx........I really don't care. It's just that with the new visual stuff, RS3 sounded better.

After the release of this, it is my intention to work on individual campaigns....tweaking, adding loyalty where desired, and maybe even creating new campaigns.

So don't worry.....I have no intention of messing too much with what took us years to accomplish. I want to 'improve'...not dismantle.

thats my news for the day

**ferike_2007** · May 10, 2015, 03:00 PM

Great news

Thanks!

**est Dudus** · May 10, 2015, 03:04 PM

Do you plan on making a 4tpy addition?

**20ninescene** · May 11, 2015, 12:20 AM

@Ant909 maybe, and I say maybe we can include that as an option. I wanted to include it but it would make campaigns veeeeery long (1200 turns). It seems that people want it so I'll discuss that with dvk (again =P).

All of what you two have done/will do will make RSII even more visually appealing - personally I'd go for v2.8 and leave '.9' in reserve.

RSIII would perhaps be if we can change the Trait system as we wanted - and go for a whole new Loyalty system to enable more/better and less scripted revolts.

But that's me.....

**20ninescene** · May 11, 2015, 08:17 AM

If I remember right DVK told me he is working on revolts triggered by loyalty and reducing the scripted revolts

You're probably right here. Just in considering how much there is still to do, and how much has been done......RS3 might well be better left for the trait re-work. That's going to be a big job, as I have to redo almost the entire way that traits are triggered. I'm even considering that I might slowly convert various campaigns to a BI format, since this would work much better with loyalty.....I was working on that before I got sidetracked with the whole settlement redesign business.
