A couple questions about RS2...

[Imperator Romano]

Questions never asked before! (I did a search)

Anyhow, I was wondering if the forts would be changed in RS2 or they will remain the same as in RS1.5c, the thing that has always bugged me about RTW and different mods is how unrealistic the forts are. First off, they have no defenses other than walls and towers. And second, they're incredibly small for what a historical fort was and especially for the troops size sometimes you have in one.
I, of course, don't expect forts to be as big as they were in real life but I ran into the mod called Europa Barbarorum and the fort they had was pretty awesome. It was twice as big as a regular one and it had ditches/hills built around it. (a bit more realistic)
I'm pretty sure we're all aware of how important forts were for the Romans, and basically a legion spent nearly all of their time in one. So can you guys maybe borrow the fort from the EB guys? and implement it into RS2?

And second, has a final decision been made about the opening battle against Hannibal? I personally would like for me to have a choice on whether I would fight him and in what terms, I don't like the idea of a script telling me I should fight him. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that you're trying to keep historically accurate but at the same time I like to start a campaign and start writing my "own history" so to speak. Hopefully you guys would tell us what you decided. Thanks and looking forward to RS2!

I remember reading something recently that dvk901 posted about forts.

Even if the battle start (armies meeting) is scripted it should be possible to move away from the battle without engaging the enemy. That isn't to say that there will be no loss to your army. Decimation was mentioned at one stage by myself....

Well, doing some digging around I found this post by him : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...58#post4203558
So I believe he's referring to the EB fort, perhaps he can confirm whether it is being included. That would be awesome!
