    Default Question for LT

    How is it that you are able to have the Ai act so aggressive ?
    I play RS and with the BI exe but do not have as much aggresivveness in the naval
    What i mean is although there are some it is not as relentless as say the Greek at taking Sicily.

    If it is not too big of a ecret i was wondering if you could share how you managed to make Ai campaign so hard

    Well there is alot of Factors, one being if the AI faction owns a province and then loses it they are more agreesive on taking it back. Ofcourse there is more than this, but this is a BIG thing, The AI is bugged in RTW, and you have to TRICK it sometimes to get what you want. Basically all the tweaking done cannot boil everything down in one post and alot was found out by trial and error. But some of it is ownership sicily is owned by Greece, and therefore they want to keep it. But this DOESNT work for all factions, greece seems to be hardcoded to do sea invasions, Carthage is not, but Carthage is Hardcoded to invade Sicily. Tell you truly I wish they did a better job at the AI, but then what I hear about MTW2 and NTW they are not that impressive in AI and in some ways WORSE than RTW.

    Also the Computer weighs what unit, strength, size etc. on its behavior on what to do, this means you have to mod everything to get it to work perfectly. SPQR is Far from perfect, but the Battles and campaigns are something if you like TOTAL WAR. I made the mod the way I like to play and what I hoped RTW would have been from the start.

    Hi, LT
    What are you doing now if there is no SPQR 8.0? Are you working for other MOD, such as EBII and RSII?

    Nope, its hard working on teams when you are use to working alone on something. Things get done much faster when there is one person and the vision is more solid since there is only 1 focused idea. SPQR 8.0 which hopefully will not have any bugs to fix will be the last version, the unit addon added alot, and there were changes and ideas I added in it that make the game more fun. But SPQR 7.0 will be left, I DO this as some may not want the addon or the AI changes that make some AI more defensive. I would also leave the new map so the 7.0 players can play with it if they want.

    RTW has died down alot, all the players seem to play NTW etc. Right now only the diehard fans play RTW mods. So like an old war horse I prefer to just fade away. lol

    We shall stand by you even unto death. RTW mods surpass other TW games. MTW 2 has sucky engine, a perk that following games inherited =/

    It is true. The life goes on, but we, "diehard" players will remember that "old war horse" who gave us this excellent game when we will play it in many years. HONOR HIM! ROMA VICTOR!

    Certainly we wait your final and worthy end of this modification.

    Thank you Lt

    To the upcoming unit addon:
    Is it a fix of existing models (Textures,....)? a deleting of older units, or an addition of new units to the existing mod (And addon)?
    Will there also be some changes of the AI?

    Hi, I am desperate,
    I am a big reader of roman history and SPQR mod (your mod) is wondeful !

    I tried it and i love it.

    But I am desperate ! It works for hours ... but then it crash ! no way to solve the problem .. I tried starting from the beginning again ... but again no problems for hours (maybe 20-30 hours of playing), than again it crash ....
    I cannot be sure but it seems to me that more or less i played for the same "hours" in the two "campaigns".

    I have the ROME GOLD EDITION

    the first time i use "the script" but didn't remember always to do it at the start of the game, so i thought that could be the problem, so in the "second campaign" i never used "the script".

    I hope you can give me any suggestion to solve the problem because I would be very very happy to play it again (i am not a boy .. 40 years old but i like it very much !).

    thank you in advance

    The last version will have a new factions and some fixes and new units I assume, plus the NEW MAP BUILT IN.

    Massimo,

    Sounds like your PC is overheating, do these crashes happen when you load from a saved game after not using your computer for a while or is there straight use? SPQR will tax your computer alot and can cause your Video Card to overheat. There isnt any bugs in SPQR that would cause a crash at a certain time, there are some bugs in RTW but there is nothing we can do about those when they happen. Also if your game is non english that may cause a problem, but I dont know?

    I was curious to see how the other factions where doing so I did the fog of war cheat (sorry!!! ) and I as shocked to see Greece own mos of Macedonia and Macedonia in Turkey, Egypt has become a super power and Gaul is expanding into spain (which explains why they haven't been attacking me lately
    is there a patch to make factions not become superpowers?

    Hi, LT
    I want to know whether the tasks can be MOD in SPQR? So that we can play history by using senator task arrangement.

    I will always love SPQR. For me it is great mod that gave me reason to continue playing RTW today. Not only is the gameplay of battles, among others, but the essence of SPQR is that makes a difference!

    I love Modes, but SPQR mod have a special charm. He even manage to 'drag' me in a special atmosphere, like I am a television reporter teleported in antiquity. ( I'll get an interview for you guys next time to Hannibal ) I'd like LT1956 to create a new version 8.0 still....BUT SPQR 7.0 + addon 1.2 + new map from R.S.. I think, is the maximum version we can get.
    How about SPQR 2 biuld on RomeTw1.6 ???
    - add more history (maybe borrow from E.B )
    - build factions around some heroes
    - try make multiplayer section become SPQR TOURNAMENT ARENA

    P.S: so0rry for worse engrish

    Well the nice thing is the new version should be Saved Game compatible so you guys dont need to start over, sure you will miss a few changes but not worth restarting a long campaign. :-) Of course this is based if you are already playing with the 1.2 addon. If not then you need to start over.

    Well SPQR 8.0 will be coming out soon. It will have all the stuff of 7.0 and the addon, New map, plus more, New faction like Judea.

    I didnt use BI because BI didnt ADD anything I really needed. and you lose things like The Turtle Formation. I have most of whats in BI in SPQR 7.0, except Hordes, Swimming units, religion. While a couple of things would have been nice, it isnt needed. The only way I would make a new SPQR is IF they make a Rome 2, then that will pose its own problems as they have it on steam which means it updates automatically, though CA is known to abandon games after about 3 patches. Also alot wont be able to be modded like campaign maps etc. But Battle Mechanics and skins can and that would be a start and Sea battles would be the main reason to make another mod.

    Other than that I seen nothing in ANY of the other TW games worth modding, there are already mods for MTW2, and the RTW mods and Engine seem the best as it stands now.

    Heroes are really Arcade style IMO, I dont believe in them, you are the hero and we all die.

    More history, why bother, the Engines are so limited, I would play alot other games out there with Better campaign and History that TW games, all CA is known for is Battles.

    Multiplayer in SPQR is possible already, A fan figured out why it wasnt working, but EVERYTHING has to be the same, and thats where people make mistakes.

    There is no SPQR 2 unless they make a RomeTW 2, Last version will be 8.0 and hopefully wont have any bugs and then will be the last without a Patch.
