Roma Surrectum III preview: The new battle map enviroment

[20ninescene]

I'm currently polishing the lighting and bloom settings What do you think?

It is possible that the towered elephants will be reskinned, but there is no reason to do any others.

I already reskinned those elephants (well actually 2/3 of the work was done by the EB team), but I still need to send them to you

shame to the roma surrect team.
who do you thing you will fool by posing rome 2 enviroment as rome 1 . shame

Are you being serious?

It looks great but how does it affect the UI?

lol You're clearly not serious =P and if you were serious, it would mean that you don't know much about moddin' and how the total war engine works (and that's very unlikely for someone ho has 3286 posts on twc).
In the first case, my thank to you for the compliment and you have a great sense of humor, man
In the latter case, I'll post an uncropped screenshot with the UI visible =P

Well the bloom effect in RSIII affects the UI even less than in RSII 'cause the contrast comes from the lighting instead of the bloom effect. The bloom in RSIII is actually pretty foggy (in the settings it's the inverse of contrast), to the point where areas with little contrast seem blurred (it's actually not real blur, but the smeared signal being more visible than the area itself, if you look at the mountains in the background on my last screenshot you'll see what I mean). However text is & the UI are the parts of the screen with the highest contrast and will therefore not "blur" nor will it become over overbright (the bloom has an negative/inverse contrast). With one exception: at night battles the bloom will adapt to the low lightness and the screen will become brighter, and it will cause clipping, but don't worry it will be less than in Roma Surrectum II

What I think, apart the unquestionable fact that you should change your nick, it's that ... I've no words! WONDERFUL, wonderful, wonderful work! Congrats and +MEGA/REP!

haha your work is art along wil dvk.seriouslu pall when i first saw your pics i thought they were from the rome 2 version of romasurrectum

Can we propose new units?

[dvk901]

Sorry....RS2 has no room for new units. Every slot is used....multiple times, in fact.

[Rumblefish]

Wow, these screenshots are absolutely beautiful. You're very talented. When the mod is ready will it be available on Steam? I ask because RS II currently doesn't work with Steam.

[swhunter]

Hi DVK, everything is looking good.

[Vilica]

Vasiooo, RS don't need of new units

[HMonk]

WOW, I'v been away for a long time and look what you have did, version III, Super Cool DVK...

[Ser Plechen]

It's very beautiful work. RS is the best of mod on the RTW. And the new environment is very pleasant for eyes.
I hope RS III will be better RS II by the all parameters. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[leonardusius]

And when can we expect to be released ?

[dvk901]

I am waiting for a few things to be finished...a few environment fixes, elephant model change, and a few other 'whatnots'....and then we will begin tesing.

[_Tartaros_]

that sounds fantastic
i´m happy to play the new build - once it´s released

Just decided to visit again after two years or more away, Rome 2 just doesn't do it for me like I remember RS did it.

Can't find my ~10 years old hardcopy, guess I'll have to get me a steam version, is Alexander still the advised base for RS III? Or is it Barbarian Invasion now, can't find BI anywhere not even in any of the collections.
