Re: Roma Surrectum III?
I never said it wasn't, but what I said still stands. Not everybody agrees with EB's approach. That's why I prefer mods like RS2 and XGM that take a more even approach to accuracy and gameplay.Originally Posted by Ferdiad
I said nothing about plagues or "irreconcilable errors". Last I checked, EB had pretty clear rules regarding submods about how they have to conform as close as possible to EB itself in terms of historical accuracy. You know how a number of the Roman legions in RS2 have lorica segmentata armor? Well, make a topic in the EB forum asking them to put LS legions in the mod and wait and see what kind of reaction you get.But that's what you design a submod for..you alter things to reflect the RS style and that shouldn't be too difficult. After all both EB and RS depict the same units and the same factions really, so all the really hard work would be accomplished already basically. It's not like EB is skinning the units in a way that is "wrong" or portraying the factions "wrong." I don't see why this would have to be an "all or nothing" scenario; if it would be too much work to make a M2TW RS, then use the EB units! It's dumb to say "EB is fundamentally in irreconcilable error with RS and it would be nothing less than exposing ourselves to the plague to even think of using elements of their mod in ours".
The appeal of the Total War games is that they can be modded to portray the game in any way the individual wants it to be. Making every classical era M2TW mod an EB2 submod would be tantamount to making every modder and mod team subservient to the EB team's vision.

. But CA did promise to release some modding tools for NTW, so you never know they may do the same for SHogun eventually as well, I wouldn't put money on it of course, but if your an extremely optimistic fellow this may give you a ray of hope in terms of the game's moddability.
