Roma Surrectum III preview: The campaign map environment

[Cyprian2]

Looks still better to be honest,the cliffs are just too huge and too unrealistic.

Also, come on -- one city in Peloponnesus?

But, seriously, these land textures are stunning. Keep up the great work!

[Marcus Rutilius Scipio]

Well, after seeing this, I will never return back to playing Rome 2, while there is a wonderful mod like this.

I just wanna say there will be a new campaign map preview soon

Usually I like a lot what you're doing, but here it's very much the opposite.

I think the idea of naval restrictments is ahistorical nonsense. Ships sailed daily from Rhodes to Alexandria (in three or four days) and on many other open sea lanes. It was risky yes, but not impossible.

You better use the two lighter reds to design prefered sea lanes like they did in the Rome Total History map.



The following screenshot shows how this allows to travel the narrow Illyrian island channel in automatic:



Regarding the campaign map, I think it is way too dark and too much a copy of Rome II aesthetics. That's my opinion, since I liked RTW vanilla too.

Also, come on -- one city in Peloponnesus?

The Peloponnesus deserves at least five cities. Impossible? No: Corinth, Argos, Sparta, Megalopolis, Aegion!

Really good work on the map, really!!

I think it would be best for you to stop peddling your own goods on someone else's mod.

[Philadelphos]

It may be useful to learn something new and improve not only your own mod. Look for example here:

Now, if you have accomplished that....ie, you can create a Custom Tile and call it Syracuse, and put that exactly on top of the city of Syracuse in the campaign, and still conquer the city...wow! That's a game changer.

I'm looking forward to see the results soon on RS III.

But I still don't think that the new naval restrictions are a good idea.

[High Fist]

I think they're a good idea if the ship's movement range can be bumped up (to like 200%).
