    Default ROP Survey

    Hey everyone,

    We have created a small survey about the recently released ROP v2.2 series and would like your opinion on some things. Please fill in the survey here (it's anonymous and doesn't take long). You can also post some feedback in this thread of course.

    Cheers, Nero

    not too flexible a survey, but OK.

    you all need a few changes to hoplitai (loger spears, no short_pike, hold spears further back). BI can give shield wall option, so this negates the need for short_pike. besides, its historically dodgy, IMHO
    otherwise, its fine I give it 9/10
    I haz a culler!! (really, who gives a darn? its totally meaningless, and it doesn't really accurately reflect who I am)

    Expanding the rosters a little bit would be nice.

    Everything in the mod is great... concerning the hoplite phalanx, GJW is right about the BI shield wall giving a more stable formation. There must be some way to import it to RTW?

    IIRC, its hardcoaded. the alternative would be one of 2 things:

    1-use guardmode
    2-play with the edu so that they have a tighter formation +guard mode.

    shield-wall is not so great because of it makes more difficult to balance the stats of the unit and because it looks weird: in real life people so tightly packed couldn't even breath!

    A third alternative could be this

    My one suggestion would be to re-balance Ionia/Lydia. In the 5 campaigns I've played so far Ionia dominates Anatolia. It was disappointing to get to Anatolia as Persia only to find out that Lydia had been wiped out.

    Admittedly this relates to a larger problem I have with the Total War AI and it's insistence on utter annihilation.

    hence the second option I proposed: EDU tinkering.
    but yeah, that would be perfect for the mod.

    I like using the religion system for governments, but it would be cool if the game gave Civilization-style incentives for picking one gov type over the other. Also, it would be cool if you could change your faction's gov type.

    add more playable factions, and maybe move the map a little to the east, dropping Taras.

    very well then. It would be good to get those. I am certain that they can be useful.
