The original Whitepaper is published [here]
For the background of the game, you can read more detail [here].
The 1.0x Beta has many changes after hundreds of hours of tests plus feedback/bug-reports from people.
Major fixes are
- corrected file reference issues in models_strat where the old mod has .cas and skins created for the BI Sarmatian which were accidentally copied to the base BI and RTW folder and left there, and references to these files were then created in models_strat. Downloaded version with vanila RTW/BI would crash because it can not find these files.
- warnings for the scripts is finally fixed, there are no longer AI complaints about the script. or issues about user can not save the game while the quest is not being fulfilled.
- Read me file has an error discovered by chrisb, where the Amazon link to the folder was incorrect. I have received several messages confirming this is the cause to their problem.
Major Changes are
- allows different Amazon factions to recruit shared high tech combat units.
- In order to obtain the secret and the recruitable units. Each Amazon faction has its own quest(s).
- Each quest allows the successful Amazon faction to summon the elite of another Amazon factions and thereby destroy that faction.
- New skins for high tech units so it looks differently for different Amazon faction.
- allows Sarmatian and Carthage to take over Amazon factions and also recruit their high tech units.
Special Thanks to Spartan198 for all the great helps and tips to make the mod possible.
This is mod-folder style installation, so it should not impact the original RTW-BI files.
You do need to have RTW BI 1.6 installed.
The read me file has instruction for Steam as well as regular installation.
There is four seasons per year feature, and to activate the four season script, you need to start the game to go to the strat screen, and press ESC key, then press "?" icon and click the "show me" icon, and return to the game. The 4 turns features must be re-activated everytime you restart the RTW/BI, it will not self-activate.
The game will not run properly, if the four season feature is not activated.
Known bugs:
- This is from the four turn script feature, which we know to be an issue but we are not the original programmer so not able to get our arms around it yet, if you accidentally activate the 4 turns per year twice in the very first year, ie 270BC, the years got bumped all the way to the end of the script (something like 350AD).
- On the game start, the strat contains one faction's general is onboard of a fleet at sea. This is done intentionally to make the game playing more interesting. AI still considers this an minor error, so if there is no other errors, no pop-up message is displayed, but if there is any other error besides this warning, the AI will flash a message saying that this character is not located in a known tile. In reality, there is something else it is complaining, but the game will exit to the desktop before showing the real error. If there is no other error besides the general onboard of the ship, the AI will only flash the complaint when you exit the game.
