"Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."
- Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)
Rome Total Realism, Platinum 1.9. Best mod ever?
I hope it is not out of line to write some words about this awesome mod. It has finally reached perfection by the great job of the modders. Until now I always felt that playing Romans was a mere walk over, now these times are gone. Every battle counts and it has been turned into a real strategy game. Playing on very hard-very hard is a must when playing Rome. You will be faced by agressive Chartagenians, Gauls and Greeks. Other factions make their own empires whitch would lead to some major clashes later in the game when the compulsory provinces has to be conquered. Still the diplomacy part is weak, but the game it self has reached such a quality that this should be ignored and not in anyway decrease the great experience this is. Download and install. Here is the link, download and enjoy Rome Total War as if it was a new game! http://www.totalrealism.net/download.html
