DarthMod Rome v9.0.x Feedback

[Dino Nuggets]

Seems simply enough, however adding a few units wont hurt.

I have some questions:
1. Why is Urban cohort so weak and expensive? There's no difference between them and legionary cohort, except in armour and defense skill - and with with extra armour I think they just tire faster. Ok they have 200 units but for 800 upkeep they're just not worth it. And I would expect that first legionary cohort would have at least 800 upkeep but with 470 or so - they are the ultimate winners. Why bothering investing 9600 for urban barracks?
2. I think there's an unreachable town in the saudi arabi - why's that? Why 2 terra incognitas - is ultimate victory even possible then?
3. Is it normal for seleucid to be able to build elephants in turkey - Sardis, Ancyra... and why he never(almost never) build odeons and upgrades of that?
4. Are new spartan hoplites even weaker than before?

Btw I like new elephants, that when they die, they die for sure.

I'm in year 72 bc, bruti, cam/bat - hard/med using save game from 8.1 darth mod. Every city on the map is huge, except the grey thing in Saudi arabia

Hey Darth, Great mod Just thought I'd point out a glitch in the bodygaurd and Goth Lancer of both gothic factions:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The helmet and head appear to be gltiched, at first I thought it was an upload error but after uploading again it seems to be a glitch in the unit, not game killing just annoying.

Also, i started a seleucid campaign and am currently conquering the Egyptians and I was wondering, do the Greek Sacred Band and Syrian archers appear after reforms?

[usmcsultan]

I don't like this patch bc it lowers number of units in unit stacks for Romans.

Great job with this mod. The AI is very adaptive,, especially on the campaign map, attacking at the right moment; a huge improvement over Napoleon, which I loved.

Great mod Darth +1 rep

I've downloaded Darthmod for all my Total War games, and I recommend everyone to do the same. I was specifically happy with the Empire: Total War Darthmod because it gave Sweden (my country) so many unique units that the original game would not bother to provide... Sweden was one of the world's most powerful nations at the time and should have more unique units, which I am pleased to say that Darthmod has fixed

I do have one issue with the Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion Darthmod - I wanted to change the ownership of a few units (Sarmatian Virgins) to the Huns, giving my favorite units to my favorite faction. However, whenever I try to start a battle with Sarmatian Virgins in my Hunnic army, the game shuts down. Is there anything else I need to do to successfully change unit ownership? All I did was editing the "export_descr_unit" file and added "Huns" to the unit ownerships, and the "data/ui/units" folders to give their unit cards to the Huns. This worked in the original Barbarian Invasion game, but why not in Darthmod?

[TheScythian]

the auxillary slingers from the julii faction makethe bow sound from thew through the stone. Is this the same for everyone else? How do i change it?

[TheScythian]

I started playing rome total war again after a couple of years.So I installed the new darth version and started a new julii campaign on h\h.As far as I remember the julii campaign was quite hard especially at the beginning with full stacks of gauls attacking you almost immediately and earning a good income was a big problem.Now I experienced the opposite.After the first 20 turns I conquered segesta,caralis,patavium and mediolanium with little resistance and money keep flowing easily.And on top of that the only time I faced a full stack of gauls,I crashed them with almost no casualties(30-40 men to 1100 lost by the gauls!).So what gives?Is it just the difficulty?Or is this version much easier?

So, really Darthmod is that easy?

I love it!

But to be honest, I prefer the vanilla Rome Total War

How do I uninstall DM 9.0?

[John Oak]

In my humble opinion it's the most fun Rome mod.. It changes are subtle and it possess an "vanilla like aura". Good improvments without messing too much around with the gameplay and scripts..

Although, I'm not having fun anymore.. The AI simply steamroll me (Julii) with restless and endless waves of stacks fulls of soldiers. Despiting the Roman tactical and military superiority, the AI (specially Gaul and Dacia) simply don't give up.. They NEVER stop sending more and more men to certain death. I have something like 4 or 5 heroic victories IN A ROLL, and they DON'T accept my ceasefire. Not with gold offers. Any of them. I'm in war for 100 years now..

I'm playing at the V/VH difficulty, since the VH/VH was simply impossible.. I simply cannot sustein 4 different fronts against Germania, Dacia, Gaulia and Carthage, at the same time..

Why the AI behaves like so ? May I change it to become more racional and more agressive against the others ?

Thanks in advance..

To play with the larger map, you need to click on " Provincial Campaign ". Then select the Europa 270 bc or whatever it is called. This will include the new map.

Going on the "Imperial Campaign" will not include the new map.

Hope this helps

[Sigmar Heldenhamer]

i think this mod is broken, because enemy archers sholuld not win against a roman cav charge in their back , if possible can you look at unit stats again, cav are not as powerful in this version

[allan33]

[allan33]
