Progress

I know how much modders hate this question, but I must ask.

Whats the progress level on v3.0? Any dates here?

Hmm where's my post gone? I replied yesterday..
Anyways, second try:
We've finished a faction which will be previewed soon. Some people might already know which faction, some might not, but I think everybody will like it - the Baktrians! Also, there will be another preview about something we haven't publicly mentioned yet, but I'm quite sure it will be generally liked too. After those two previews, release of v3.0 could be close. So just keep your eyes open

Don't currently have RoP installed, but I'll definitely be watching.

Cant wait for the new previews Nero!

Very nice, more eastern factions is a definite plus. Any chance for another one in India?

Oh and will Baktria be playable?

**Nero666** · June 18, 2009, 05:58 AM

Baktria will be playable in ROP3 yes

We don't have plans to include extra factions in India though, but people have posted about it in the ROP3 suggestions thread.

First of all : congratulations for your excellent work !

There are however some things I'd definitely like to see in version 3.0 :
- the Phoenicians kingdoms (Tyre, Sidon, Byblos, and the cypriot ones) with an emphasis on naval units (becomming a must for Persian conquest).
- the Persian army was extremely varied. This is hard to reproduce with factions. Why not throwing in some few dozens types of mercenaries, in order
to restitute the list of Xerxes's army ?
- It might be nice to have some more scripted events, rewarding the player for his historical accuracy (a bit like RTR TIB)
- (I'm not sure about it) is there a "King's Eye" in RoP ?
- More diplomacy : ex. using the Arab faction as mercenaries to attack another faction. With a realistic tribute system. Like if you ask them
to attack Egypt, they will be forced to do it if you pay them a reasonable amount.
I would really appreciate this, as Persian domination installed itself as much through the arms, as through diplomatic pressure : a revised
tribute system would be great !

Go on with your terrific job !
