RTRVII Team is amazing and professional...insider info

[Candelarius]

I recently joined the RTRVII team as a part-time beta tester to play the final beta of the TIC campaign. After spending several hours reviewing their developer forums and beta forums, I must say I'm astounded at their level of professionalism, artwork, research, and organization. I expected to see a group of teens and young guys joking around in their forums and smattering of development updates posted in the mix. Instead, I found a dedicated modding machine, headed by a virtual Donald Trump of Modding Leadership!

I thought the fan community would like to have this "insiders" leak of information. Trust me, the dev forums are alive with activity, hundreds of posts and update, a long string of beta builds that apparently are being rigorously tested, charts, diagrams, maps, model suggestions and critisms, refined production builds, concept proposals and counter proposals, leadership guides, membership manuals, new team introduction materials....

I'm serious! MCM and the RTRVII team really have their act together. Based on what I've been sneaking around peaking at in their forums, RTRVII is going to be the most amazing mod you people have ever seen!

So, be patient. With the vigor and dedication I've witnessed within the ranks of the RTRVII team, the wait for TIC, and what's to follow, is going to be worth it!

thanks for pointing that out .

Yeah I hope the fans will think the same when it is there. There are many man-hours put into it.

I think Solaris meant it as a joke. Candelarius has long been involved with the RTR project, and IIRC was chief moderator at the old RTR forums before he stepped down for time issues.

I'm being paid in ancient Roman coins that MCM dug up somewhere in Apulia.

... MCM and the RTRVII team really have their act together ...

Well, I'd certainly agree with you there mate.

I joined the TIC beta testing team just over two and half weeks ago and finished working through my first campaign today. And I'm still dazed at the richness of the experience.

I'm a long term fan of RTR and have been playing it since 5.4 (I still have campaigns with 6 Gold) and was wondering how VII would compare. Awesome, I think, is a reasonable enough word to describe it, and the most marvelous thing is - it's full of the traditional RTR flavour.

If you like a challenge, just wait until you get the chance to play Carthage. I'm not going to give the game away but the opening battle will blow your socks off! I've run it several times and I've lost as many times as I've won. If you fancy yourself as a general then this one will certainly test your mettle! It's winnable but you have to oh so get everything right.

Like Candelarius, I too have been impressed with the professionalism of the team, and I'd say the project is being run as ably as any I've been involved with in real life, even down to the software we use to log issues and track progress.

I know it seems a long time since 6 Gold was released but please be just a little more patient, you won't be disappointed, the wait will have been worth it.

Dedicated professional modding teams are rare. I have been personally involved with another one, The Grey Wolves Mod for Silent Hunter 3, on subsim.com. Those boys are doing things to the game without an SDK that I'm sure the Developers would stare in awe at. Its truly amazing to get on the inside and have a peek at those kinds of teams.

Cheers to you guys. I know already that you work too hard for little more than the love of the game and the community.

[Sacratus]

Awesome! Very excited knowing what's going on (even with such little info ) and looking forward to RTRVII.

[Clearchus of Sparta]

I too very recently joined the RTR team, and I can confirm what is being said above by the other members. There is a very professional approach to this mod. Its vision is to bring you fans the best possible mod.
TIC will be the showcase that will make you want more. So stock up on coffee and ciggerettes (if you smoke) coz you wont be leaving your pc for ages.
I'll give you a couple of figures which Im sure MCM wont mind.
Beta testing to date have found 103 issues that need to be resolved.
Of these 29 remain outstanding. Some relate to gameplay and some the visual aspect.
These guys are working their socks off to bring you this mod. I know for a fact that MCM (and others) were working on this project at 5am (their time) before going off to work. They want to bring you this mod as much as you want to receive it. So please be patient and if you cant be patient, be useful and join the team.

Hi Candelaruis,

IF you're really that enthusiastic, Maybe as a Beta tester for TIC, you can tell us when RTR VII is coming (time specific).

The answer to that question, quite simply, is "42".

[Tony83]

The answer to that question, quite simply, is "42".

Ooer! Now that you've revealed the "Ultimate Answer", the "mice" will be furious!

[Zaknafien]

well, in one of the many parallel universes which string theory allows us to know about, RTR VII is old news, and RTRVIII is already out!

5 am ? We in Asia sometime work the whole night to synchronize the time with the guys in Europe & US (and vice versa)...

1942 it is!
