Wow, I can't wait to try out that city editor! If Rome looks that good, think how awesome Constantinople would look!
Great work. I love the skins.

Astonishing is all that can be said really. The ordinary RTW units are of a different era granted, but do even nearly as interesting. Post as many battle screens as possible if that is possible.
Still looking at the city, I feel a bit sad that CA could not get the time to do something of the sort for Rome. Identikit cities are not nice. Will other cities have any variations? Will the Rome battlemap be developed further for use outside the mod?
As for other cities, that is to be determined. It all depends on time and future support by other modders. By the way, I thought I should mention that if anyone wants to drop us a line and help us with modding, please post in this thread:

As for using Rome outside of Paeninsula Italica, I don't see why not, after it's released. Same for new animations, which haven't been shown yet in
Beautiful!
So what is the time period? Will there be any Gauls?

Superb, guys! Absolutely superb. Now I have a good reason for buying B.I. I couldn't think of one before.
And Psycho, you're nothing if not predictable! You need to have that Gaulish fixation seen to! :wink:

Other nations, not included as playable factions, will be reproduced with a dedicated set of regional units, like the celtic Lingones near the mouth of the Po river and the celto-ligurian Taurisci around the western Alps.

Dear mates... this is a SO GOOD LOOKING "Ancient Italic" mod! Nice units (models/skins)... but you REALLY impressed me with the "early" Rome city, the "blue-prints" of the citadel, the structurs, the city's outskirts... everything! (You made "my"... city very nice - my real name, is the name of Rome's founder!)
Nice job! Very "close" to professional!...
Keep it up...

koroi pateron poliatan

Ouh gar patrion ta Sparta!"
Which means:
"Forward, men of Sparta
sons of fathers citizens
pop out the shield (with the left arm)
raise up the spear (with the right arm)
with no fear for your lives.
Because this is NOT suitable to Sparta!"

Imagine if this was the prologue that came with RTW
I can imagine playing this, and then loading up a good roman mod (like Roma - if only it was updated to 1.5) and being able to take over Italy and then the Med.... dreams
Excellent work guys .. I feel ashamed I offered to help but copped out like that. It was through frustration and lack of talent that caused it but luckily this project didn't need me, it had all the talent it needed.
Look forward to seeing it released. ... hmm, This means I need BI I suppose?
oOo
Rome 2 refugee ...
oOo
Im just wondering what the next preview will be... Any one got any opinions on what that might be about? maybe a little clue from the modders?
But i have a feeling this mod is still in the early stages so i wont expect another preview any time soon.
[Massive Sig Here]
Do you have alot of these units done already? And when can we see the gallic faction or that will be the next preview ?
Fantastic work guys!
One of my most awaited mods with an outstanding team and a superb balance of gameplay and realism
I am curious about the Etruscan use of the Gladius that you chose. What basis did you use for their weaponry. Their Javelins and Gladius look to advanced. I mean these were always sited as one of reasons they lost to Romans, not only tactics.
What about the Celtic factions? Are the Etruscan not going to have to deal with the raiding Insubri most of the time?

Asterix, I would place the Etruscan social system, and their foreign policy, as the two major reasons why they lost. The Etruscans possessed a semi-feudal system with wealthy nobles, organized in hoplite fashion, surrounded by lower-morale entourage (which by the way we'll be trying to reproduce here). It's a fact of the matter that Etruscans regularly raised much larger armies than Rome, but their social system resulted in their armies being less stable and loyal than their Roman citizen counterparts.
Another big reason for loss was the foreign policy, when the Etruscans preferred to banquet and party rather than deal with crises and solve enmities with other countries permanently. Thus they constantly got invaded by the Celts, which they haven't dealt with, and they tried half-heartedly allying with enemies of Rome without contributing the entire society to the struggle.
A dedicated player, wielding massive Etruscan armies, could try to rectify those mistakes.. I really recommend those who are interested take a look in the Historical Background section, found here.
Thanks Sig! Just wanted to know your "politics of history" position which I appreciate.Originally Posted by SigniferOne
There are no laws on ancient history
Second question... how do you plan to implement the city system?
