Previews left

[warsawabruce]

hey

I have seen a lot of preview of the factions featured in RS2
Just to get an overview, how many previews are we yet to see and will we see a preview of each faction before the mod is released?

i cant find that on any of those threads to much to read cant u just say how many unit faction previews are left?

[dvk901]

I 'think' there are four major factions left that haven't had previews:

Romans
(Censored)
Pergamon
Carthage

The Roman one will be last.

[warsawabruce]

I've heard that there is room for 21 factions.
There are 13 previews of 14 factions leaving potentially 7 previews left if all factions are previewed. I've also heard that the RS teams spends 1 week to create each preview.

Where d'ya hear that one?

Its certainly not true. The previews take much longer, what with the screencaps, historical detail , compiling etc. A lot of effort is put into previews, not just mish mashed together!

That number includes the slave faction.

A single preview can actually take months before it's ready to be released.

[rory o'kane]

indeed it does.

[King Nud]

and there are at 2 free peoples in RS, so that only leaves 19 slots........But there may be 3, this coming from a beta tester!

[martyr]

im looking forward to the secret and pergamon previews

[DoogansQuest]

Where are the Seleucid, Macedon, Sparta, and Free Greeks previews then? I don't plan on wading through 20384028734 pages just to find them.

Look at the "RS 2 Preview" tread then, it´s sticked at our main page.

Dude where did you get 21 factions that is for Medieval Total War I thought isn't this mod still for RTW

[rory o'kane]

The RTW engine allows for 21 factions, if you code out the Senate (to replace it with another faction), and count the Rebel/Slave faction.

Let's see, in Vanilla, we have:
Rome: SPQR
Rome: Julii
Rome: Scipii (Should be "Scipiones" )
Rome: Brutii (Should be "Bruti" )
Carthage
Macedon
Greek City States
Numidia
Spanish
Gauls
Germans
Britons
Thracians
Dacians
Scythians/Sarmatians (forget which they are in RTW)
Parthia
Armenia
Pontus
Seleucids
Egypt
Rebels


that's 21.

Now, in RS 2.0, we have:

Rome
Carthage
Macedon
Averni (Celtic Faction #1)
Belgae (Celtic Faction #2)
Secret Celtic Faction #3 (as yet undisclosed )
Cimbri (Germanic Faction)
Secret Iberian Faction
Getae (Dacians)
Sparta
Pergamon
Pontus
Seleukids
Armenia
Ptolemaic Egypt
Parthia
Scythians
Sarmatians
Free Barbarians
Free Greeks
Free Peoples (Rebel/Slave faction)

this is also 21.

What ever happened to the swap factions - Syracuse and Bosphoria? And how will the whole swapping thing work?

My understanding is that this will happen 'some time in the future after RS2.0 is released'. I've not seen any of these units in the game (beta) so far.

The factions from RS 2.0, thankfully, contain a wider range of unit types to make each faction unique in its own way. For those of us who played RTW Vanilla when it was first released, the variety of units and the balance of factions, more or less, was severely lacking.

Thank goodness for the modders.
