Yeah, do just that!

New City models on the campaign map from RTRVII!

Roman

Carthaginian

Greek

Eastern

Barbarian

Enjoy! Also, you can see the new campaign map textures.

Note: This map map will not be the map for the mod, there will be a new one.

Looks pretty nice, I never actually got RTR to work right (I know, it's sad) and I'd like to play it. Though TBH I'd much rather see Galatians or Sabaeans, or even Mauryans (something to kill when my Neo-Macedonian Empire reaches India) than Bosphorans. I just never really saw their appeal, they're not interesting to me. At least with Saba all your troops look like Lawrence of Arabia.

**ahowl11** · November 04, 2012, 04:24 PM

Well I'm going for historical relevance, the Bosporans even though they were quiet, played a big role in the economy of many hellenistic kingdoms and helped Pontus grow into a super power. Also, they are unique as they have both greek and scythian troops to choose from, plus they give people a reason to play as or against the Sarmatians.

Mauryans were tough to not include because India will be well represented on the map and they are unique. But other than giving Seleucus 500 elephants, they really paid no attention to western politics, instead focusing their attention to the Indian sub-continent.

As for Saba, it's kind of the same thing. It just goes to the fact that there are only 20 slots available, and to me, RTR focuses on Roman History. If all is successful though, I can always make sub mods

**Agamemnon** · November 04, 2012, 04:26 PM

Eh, I'd gladly make a submod to give the little guys of history a shot.

**ahowl11** · November 04, 2012, 04:34 PM

In fact, I'm even considering on making India and most of Arabia terra incognita. I want the mod to focus on Rome and her enemies. Because if you think about it, if you add the Mauryans, you would need to add one of the other Kingdoms of India that they fought and it just keeps going. There are many things that I can do to stem off RTR but for right now I'm just looking to resurrect the mod and make it popular again, as it is quite old

**Agamemnon** · November 04, 2012, 04:47 PM

Meh, there's already too many Rome-centered mods, and honestly, if you did that, would this be any different from RTR as-is?

I think the best thing would be to take it into MTW2. Transport some of the models and use the better engine to do more badass stuff. Like the use of castles to represent nomads

**Agamemnon** · November 04, 2012, 04:52 PM

That's a good idea, there isn't any sort of Roman mod for M2. But then the models would really have to be redone to look decent.

**ahowl11** · November 04, 2012, 04:52 PM

That idea has definitely crossed my mind, but for now I will stick to the RTW engine. If time permits me I might make a mod for M2TW (it sorely needs a classical age mod) but it would take much too long. I feel as if resurrecting RTR is enough for me at the moment

I guess so, who do you have on your team so far

**ahowl11** · November 04, 2012, 05:13 PM

Well I do everything that is within my abilities, so basically adding in everything and coordinating where the mod should go next.

Lethe1 is in charge of the map and he should have the new map ready to go by tomorrow.
Maraxus is the 3d artist and makes any new units and edits existing ones to fit what the mod needs
Skyn0s is in charge of making the 3 new factions' faction symbols and banners

I also do a lot of the research and public relations as well as digging through the forums and other mods to come up with ideas

**z3n** · November 04, 2012, 05:38 PM

Goodluck with your mod ahowl & team.

And I believe warman is busy working on classical age total war 2 http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=552976 and of course EB2 both unreleased and toontotalwar is busy with something too if I remember correctly, there is also this and I think its mostly released. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=620

**Visarion** · November 05, 2012, 04:05 AM

sounds good! good luck! I'll check this from now on! ty!

**ahowl11** · November 05, 2012, 10:09 AM

Thank you Resef and Visarion!

**Punic Hoplite** · November 05, 2012, 03:34 PM

Looking good ahowl. Hope this one gets completed!

And as always, if you need any help with Carthage, let me know

**ahowl11** · November 05, 2012, 06:28 PM

Thanks, I definitely will!
