RS2's Future and Mod Ideas:

[tomySVK]

I have a question/suggestion about names of named Auxilia units. As the example I will take Cohors I Flavia Hispanorum. Historically there was only one Cohors I Flavia Hispanorum stationed in Germania Inferior, but in the same province was posted Cohors II Hispanorum in fort called Traiectum. In Britain was posted Cohors I Aelia Hispanorum and also Cohors I Hispanorum equitata.

My suggestion is that the unit which the player can recruit be called Cohors Hispanorum, so he is able to recruit several cohorts. I think it will be great, as I feel a little confined in recruitment of Auxilia units with specific names for only one historical Auxilia unit.

[ur-Lord Tedric]

Whilst I understand where you're coming from; I too have raised not dissimilar queries in the past when I got my hands on the testing reins - and have a great love and passion for the Roman Army myself.

Each of the named units are indeed based upon actual units upon which there is reasonably good historical data. Many, many are not there because of the unit limit and whole regions are missed out. Whether, in this case, it's "Cohors I Flavia Hispanorum" or "Cohors Hispanorum" makes no real difference, as they are the same 'unit'.

For a similar reason there are no Legions numbered XVII, XVIII, or XVIIII (XIX). They existed and follow the numbering sequence, but they are missed out because they simply didn't have a long life nor illustrious history.

There is sufficient compelling evidence that suggests that Auxiliary units were raised in batches and sequentially numbered, but there is no evidence of some of those numbers existing at all in surviving records.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it.

Indeed, if you read the unit descriptions for these units, you'll find that many other units with similar names are mentioned. That was our way of making the unit not only specific, but also 'generic' in the sense that it represented all those others mentioned. And, as my partner suggests, we chose the unit that we could find the most evidence for to represent.

[tomySVK]

Thanks for your answers, I fully respect your choice. It combines education with fun. But personally I find it hard to recruit several units of the same named auxiliary unit, but it´s only my pesronal taste

@dvk901 I remember a few years back you mentioned something about a campaign start round the time of Emperor Augustus taking power that would go up into Trajan and the height of Roman expansion. Is that still planned or was it shelved?

I guess it depends how ambitious I am. There's a lot of things I'd 'like' to do, but I've been very busy with RL.

A little suggestion from playing EB many moons ago. One thing i loved, which is really such a small detail, is the way they have ethnic/tribal identity for each family member which has benefits and negatives depending on both how you use him and the area he might operate in. I'm not 100% sure if it actually had any consequences or just hinted at them, it's been awhile since i played. I also loved their native language/voice that they used, not sure if that's something that interests the team and other players, just my thoughts.

[King Ramses]

Well I don't know if this has already been proposed or if it is possible but, if you are open to such a suggestion, I would love to see the map expanded to India or further. If anything just to make the Parthian territories reflect their true size at the time of Crassus and Mark Anthony's campaigns.

hi there,
Any chance to see Latin voice Mod merged in RS3?
This if the only lack of immersion in this superior mod that i can think of.

[romavictoria]

Is it possible to add even more troops ?
Lets say ( i have ordereed Alexander) 8000 troops (without) AI Reinforcements (unlimitied men on battlefield true, yes
but i mean 8000 in one single battle, with 8000 reinforcements (especially important in the first battle with Hannibal),

that would be epic to battle Hannibal with his 20,000 Carthagian,Gaellic,Celtberian (spanish) mix war-machine...

(and of course) buffer up the graphics to RS 2,6 standard as it is , the grass (ground) looks b a d , even worse than vanilla...

Leave the RL, and concentrate on Augustus, i say its a way better choice!

All the manhours is clearly visible in your excellent, and i repeat excellenet mod (playing RS.3.1) besides the intro-pictures (that are to small to be read correctly i cant find anything wrong with your mod. On the contrary, its very accurate for playing Rome, and for every country you annex,assimilate etc you actually have
to plan it way ahead (like in real time), very smart feature, and great scripting.

-What about a 4PTY-script for Roma Surrectum 3.1.

That alone would be superb, to counteract a more historically balanced mod, really really closer to the real thing.

I mean its very narrow to ïnvade Carthago Nova with Scipo the younger at 22-25 years old...

-So again, that would be marvellous (and also make the game a bit longer).
-There arent many mods this god, and btw Rome Total War 2 is a piece of crap, steam-induced albeit...
there are only this one mod that in my opinion is worthy of how Rome Total War 2 should have been,

so keep up the good (and by good i mean excellent) work.
-The first 50 turns (25 years) is as close as the textbook/historicans as is gets.

Although Carthago could be a tad aggresiver (Hard/Hard)..so again big thanks in advance..

[Sefe]

I've got Windows 10 and I have faced some problems that don't let me play RS 3 and so I am continuing to play RS 2.6. But I would like my cities look like the ones in RS 3 in battle map(for examole without large or huge walls, beautiful city plan etc). Is this possible? and how can I make this?

[Davidos]

Any updates please ?

I already made one with two different seasons.

I started to play this great mod a while ago, making me interest a lot in Roman history. I enjoyed the campaign and put great effort to it (now I destroyed Carthago, control half Iberia and all North Africa). However, I suddenly realized that I had to active the script manually every time I opened the game... so I played without script without knowing it

My question now is... can I activate the script and keep playing ot will it cause problems? I realized my idiotness with the script because the Imperial Reforms hadn't triggered even I built Circus Maximus. What can I do? Starting a new campaign... would be pretty disgraceful. Thanks!

Please don't double post - and you could even delete if you can...

[panther123]

Is RS3 the final version of Roma Surrectum?

Yes, almost definitely...
