RS2.5 Previews

[apple]

Map is maxed. Both in size and regions.

[josh187]

it cant be maxed in size, sparta total war has a similar map and that one is way bigger. in size that is.

[RandomSarmartian]

The proportion is different they can only have so many tiles in the map.

[RandomSarmartian]

I wish there was a new map that included more regions in Africa, and also go as far east as the Indus River, so that Greco-Bactria can be included!

That would be the work of R2TW if its mod-able if not you will have to be satsfied with the present map and EB/ waiting for EB2 to come out

RS 2's map uses all the pixels that we can (hardcoded).
The map you are talking about is probably less detailed (zoomed in).

[josh187]

yeah, could be zoomed. i just remember it being a longer march from jerusalem to babylon.

This settlement is pretty much finished other than some fine details, and is about to get some beta testing.

That's not going to happen, I'm afraid....just a couple of celtic settlement plans. I've always wanted to see proper hillforts in this game.

[Worm]

The official release dates for RS II were 1 month after Hegemonia City States and in some cases ''soon'' but it got released anyway

Maybe you should realease your work to total war center I'm sure the people will love it

When i first noticed this settlement i remembered one of Simon Scarrow's book that i ve read. Don t know if anyone reads Simon Scarrow book about Cato and Macro but he has one that 's when Vespasianus takes that fortress i can t remember which one of it is.

It's the one this settlement plan is based on. Maiden Castle (the name it has, although I'm not sure of the original name) was attacked by Vespasian's forces during Claudius' invasion of Britain. Lots of us here read Simon Scarrow, and I remember the story well.

Here are some more lighting previews - thanks again to Megas Antiviros for his suggestions (have redone the cloud files to give them transparency, which improves how they look - sun and lens flare now visible and gives more brightness to the sky in the direction of the sun).

When will all this be ready? In a while....that's about an exact an answer as we can give at the moment.

No that's not something we've worked on although I think you're doing that in your mod? How's that coming on and have you found any way of animating the sea?

I've now played a few battles with the nearly finished path finding files and the AI performs pretty well in both attack and defense..there are no significant path finding issues. Next thing is to finish adding the buildings to the settlement and the overlay elements that they sit on, maybe a few bits of collision mapping and then this settlement will be done. It's going to be going to the beta testers soon to get some feedback.

We'll probably go with this sort of settlement up to the city level and then change to a more conventional settlement layout.

Sorry or late reply, yep we have got animated water now, fully playable, ships kill by ramming and by using the archers on top of ship or ballistas and onager on a revolving table on the ship, it's now illy implemented into campaign as well. Only problem is that it is only possible on the alex engine, although on med 2 we have found out that you would be able to do full boarding manoeuvres and capture ships for yourself and things like that

So you're actually saying that it would be best for me to get my hands on alexandertw before the release of 2.2?

[tone]
