    Default Poll: What should IB2's main campaign be?

    There are two possible options for the main campaign for IB II (IB for M2TW):

    410AD campaign - essentialy the BI campaign made for m2tw (only possible because hordes are in m2tw)

    Tetrach campaign - A campaign which would start at the end of the 3rd century AD and focus on the 4 roman empires,
    it would include - 4 roman factions, the franks, the visigoths, the ostrogoths, and other factions.

    Definitely the 410AD campaign. Why should the best BI-Conversion restrict its very own flavour?

    What about an Aurelian campaing set in 270ad. With three roman factions:
    1º WRE: Augustus: Aurelian. CAesar: Probus. Includes Thracia, Dacia, Noricum,Greece, Italy and North Africa.
    2º WRE usurpers: Gaul , Brittania and Spain.
    3º Palmyrians: ASia Minor, Judaea, Egypt and Palmyra.

    410. Absolutely. After all, it's "Invasio Barbarorum"...

    410 should be the main campaign. A tetrarch campaign would be interesting, but I'd almost rather see one focusing on Palmyra's rebellion.

    410 all the way, a desperate struggle for the WRE and ERE and the dawn of the dark ages.

    I like the 270 idea as well even though I voted for 410. Tetrach would end up as one massive roman orgy, I assume all four factions units would be basically similar. The 270 campaign would be a fresh era, with possibility of new types of units introduced.

    unfortunately a 270AD mod would necessitate a very drastic change in skins for all factions yet again.

    410, definitively.
    owever, once we translate ALL to MTW2, we could, as well, have time to work on a new campaign. but it could be only a further work. too much must be done to get rtw stuff on MTW2. did you think, in fact, that roman cities should ave a "medieval" look? the romanesque middle-age building (that could be suitable to represente very late roman cities), i'm pretty sure, will be misteriously forgotten in MTW2, and we will have just gothic stuff. i say so because the english developers look on their own middle age - this is not an accuse or so, but a constatation - and find difficult to think to middle age in a way different from theirs. just as example, from ravenna to south you can hardly find some church in gothic style, and even you find it, is really different from the ones they build up in france, for instance.
    so, who is ready to change ALL the buildings set of 3d renders of MTW2 in RTW roman-style stuff? it's an hard work. nonetheless, it could be done hoping that "is the last work". if they have to made totally new skins, models and so on, search new infos, and definitively create another mod... there's a suicide will!

    The final area I wanted to talk about was the mesh/texture files used for soldier and siege engine models. These are a very different format to the CAS files with which Rome modders will be familiar. Currently, modders will not be able to edit or replace these files.
    This is because the format is optimised specifically for rendering. We made this decision to enable us to ramp up the level of detail of the battles while retaining a good level of performance. We are investigating options to allow the community to create their own mesh files.
    this doesn't bode well for total conversions in the near future. I am sure someone will sooner or later make a converter, but it seems CA won't be supporting that (they didn't in RTW, either).
    It is not the end of the possibility to do total conversions, mind you, it seems the community has more worlk cut out for us, though

    Actually, on reflection I think maybe before 410 is better, more like 400, or even start in 406, just before the Germanic tribes poured over the frozen Rhine. That seems to have been the final nail in the coffin. 410 might be a bit too late.

    Well I haven't played MTW2 yet but couldn't we just use the Byzantine's buildings?(If they have any, mind you word of mouth is CA cut quite a few corners on this game. )

    I am playing as the byzantines atm and there buildings arnt suitable to use, and yes CA has cut corners, the byzantines have two virtually identical medium to heavy infantry units and 1 type of spear unit and one miltia units, and the worst yet - there is no heavy cavalry,

    Byzantine infantry (yes CA is that bad thinking up names) are quite good and i usaly use mercenries for cavalry, and i cant wait to conquer america with as the byzantines

    They actually call them "Byzantine Infantry"? Good lord, have they learned nothing from the modders?
