Historical Battles improvements for RTR 7

**yuki_mikagami86** · August 07, 2007, 08:04 AM

I'm playing RTR Platinum via BI. I'm sure BI can help give RTR 7 a lot of new features.

Just some of I have noticed, and I hope you read this:

In the Battle of Raphia script, I've noticed in RTR Platinum that the narration still will say "Ptolemy's chariots and bowmen stands ready to unleash a storm of death upon the Seleucid ranks." while the CHARIOTS are already GONE in this mod. I hope they omit or edit this line before they release RTR 7.

I hope they also increase the unit sizes on the 'Historical Battles'. It can also make it more realistic...

And about the battle map in general:

I also hope they change the way those group formation buttons look so that they will represent exactly their actual functions. And also the command the general shout when you press this button.

More power to the developers of RTR 7!!!

I don't think historical battles are a priority, no-one plays 'em.

These are all great points that deserved to be addressed.

Also, has anyone ever noticed that the narrative to the Battle of Lake Trasimene is entirely false?

Right. Who plays historical battles? I believe there was one in Gold, and the intro was about it. Who did ever play that battle?

Q.

I did

And I liked playing it

But the problems with Historical Battles is that they are to few... The are very fun to take on, but there is like five of them... if there was say, 3 for every nation, that would make... let's see. 51 battles. Sureley there are enough facts to provide a lot more battles

But I certainly don't think that they are priority... Someone can add them afterwards...

I didn't really like the historical battles of the RTW vanilla because there were just too few units and small unit sizes it made the battlefield look so lonely. However, when I started modding their battle files and the script I began an interest in making my own improvement/modifications to make those battles look more historical. But those mods and balances were only for RTW vanilla and not for RTR. Well, it's also nice to see historical battle mods based on RTR that have more units, and BIGGER unit sizes, on the battlefield.

The MORE the BLOODIER!

Anyone with the time and knowledge on how to mod historical battles would certantly be accepted into the team.

Perhaps. As soon as the first complete version release of RTR 7 I can start modding the historical battles myself. It would be my pleasure if I can contribute something for the development.

I got so excited seeing that notice about that Iberian mini-mod of RTR 7. I hope we can get to download it soon.
