It is a matter of marketing?
After having spent several months without playing Rome 2, I returned to the game, and tried several mods, vanilla is out of question.And can guarantee that this mod, is without doubt, one of the most complete. What I do not understand is the reason for having so little acceptance here in TWC. What is the reason? DEI is so mainstream? Lack of marketing? The name is too personalized? Should be a Roman name?"Ortus imperium" or else?
Of course when I play this mod, adapted it to my taste, such as.
- I increased the morale a bit, for units not break to soon.
- I increased the space between units, for no discrepancies that make them turn around.
- I increased the ranks, with the option 2x stay with a more realistic look, especially Roman,who looks more square.
- What I did not, but did on my unfortunate mod, was a personalized User Interface and load screen, is ... more "mod".
Also dont know if there are new possibilities for modifying the game, but if you could include somewhere in the game or encyclopedia, the description and characteristics of the units which you gave the historical name, it would be fantastic.
Anyway, I still say,your work is fantastic.And good luck.

I'm extremely fond of what you've managed to do so far in terms of combat, even with just the current faction roster and unit stat overhauls, even if the Iberians, Gauls, and Carthage may not be my favorite factions. I will say I'm certainly looking forwards to see what you do with regards to the Hellenic factions and their own styles of heavy infantry formation combat, and how they stack up against the Roman style.

Re: It is a matter of marketing?
Magnar Mod was the first mod for Rome II I really 'loved', many months ago.
Unfortunately we haven't had any significant updates for quite a long time now. I can fully understand this, the team is not the biggest, they work with a lot of precision and very 'deep' into the core mechanics of the rotten apple that Rome II is. I'm sure this is the right strategy longterm and I have full confidence in the team around Magnar.
As far as popularity goes, I think Magnar Mod is the kind of mod that people who want depth and pinpoint accuracy will absolutely love and adore, but I think most people might want a better and glorified vanilla experience with extravagant unit skins and that might be what the two most famous mods provide at the moment. They are not my kind of fish though.
I'm checking the Magnar Subforum every day, eagerly anticipating the 'Meganing'
