julianus heraclius, being the leader of RO, better answer these types of questions. Work on RO is, however, progressing.

Now, if the latter part of the question is for me personally, I'd say I'm actively involved in about 4 - 5 mods, or thereabout.

It´s always good to hear that RO is progressing I hope for 2014 release

[julianus heraclius]

Well, we are close to finishing the cas and texture files for the barbarian factions, leaving the romans to finalise and a few other factions that we have already done to tweak. The next step is to get a new map and import all of the new units onto the campaign map. From there it will then be a matter of including the new traits and ancillaries and finalise recruitment of units etc. All of this takes time of course but I would hope for a BETA from mid to late 2014. At the moment I'm finalising my Doctoral thesis and updating SAI for the SAI-Alex version which will include new units plus more.

Praise The Lord, SAI ALX version!

Will there also be an OLB version or do people have to play by having the same campaign files loaded up?

Ah, I didn't know Julianus was the head cheese. I liked SAI

Also 4-5 mods is a lot, I can barely help out with one mod, I envy your skills.

[Lanciarius_90]

How different will be Sassanid units from IB RO and these from SAI?

[Maximus Belgica]

Hello
I would like to ask:
What are the gods of the Roman temples to the Roman factions?
The temple of Jupiter will he available, I miss in SAI: (?
Will we play Maxentius and Licinius opponents of Constantine?
thank you

[Diocletianus]

Possiblement que les temples seront les mêmes que SAI. Jupiter n'est qu'une figure plus ou moins intéréssante. Sol invictus remplace en grande partie son rôle de divinité protectrice du pouvoir impériale. Peut-être que je me trompe mais je ne crois pas qu'ils vont rajouter des temples, sauf remplacer le Transcendent one de Julien.

Pour Jupiter,cela reste quand même le père des dieux,du moins en occident.Pour l'histoire Sol Invictus de Aurélien,sera un dieu populaire dans les armées du Danube.Sur le Rhin,en gaule,Espagne et Britannia ce sont les dieux Romains qui dominent.Pour Mithras,culte populaires certes,mais pas aussi populaires que l'on croit,le culte de Jupiter dolichénien,culte à mystère,était plus populaires que Mithras sur le mur d'Hadrien par exemple.Mais en Occident,en Gaule,les dieux du soldat c'était Mars et Minerva.
Pour plus de précisions ce site Belge,en français,anglais et allemand,sur les cultes des dieux en Gaule et en Occident. http://www.deomercurio.be/fr/index.html

[Diocletianus]

Tu as raison pour ce côté mais le mod ne focus pas vraiment sur la mythologie. Je crois qu'il en vient au joueur de manipuler les divinités comme il l'entend selon son goût.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Well this is all Greek to me . . .

[Diocle]

Nobilissimus, even if I understand your feelings, I feel the duty to point out that the Greek is absolutely more difficult!

This is only French, the old and beautiful Romance Language spoken by one of the most famous English Kings: William the Conqueror and his noble Knights.

[Diocletianus]

He argues about that the cult of Jupiter was more popular in certain parts of the empire, like in the west. He is hoping for a pantheon of Jupiter in roman building tree anf such.

[Diocle]

And he's absolutely right! Interesting observation!

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Well this is all Greek to me . . .

I don't even speak French and I can read enough of it to get what he's saying.

[Diocletianus]

Etymology is the answer ! So many words in English are from the French language. When I went in Italy, I could decifer what they were saying with my knowledge of spanish and of my basis in latin.

Apparently you don't read irony however . . .
