IB2: ODOACER REX ITALIAE PROGRESS

[midnite]

Just as Reno said. I am currently adding 3 new merc units to the new patch. Once we have a good build with everything we want in it for a first release, then we will release it. No timeline yet. Any release will not be the final version. As with vandalorum and conquestus, we will continue to improve the mod with new patches/releases.

Thanks for the info! Take your time!

Get a move on! Roma: Imperium Aquilarum mod for Rome II will be out soon and put both your game and Europa Barbarorum II into final obsolescence.

That was not nice. We will be the more happy if these mods are released and happy for the modders too. It will more motivate us to improve our mods to a higher standard. There are many people out there that don't like Rome II game play, and that includes me.

Well said Reno!

I love this guy. Still didn't get it, even after CA released a "game" (or so they call it) and it was utter waste of money/time/life... pretty much a waste of everything. If you think anyone can make gold out of crap (which Rome 2 is) then someone has to tell you it's impossible even in theory. Of course, thank god for modders who will shape that thing as much as they can and I really appreciate their work and skill, but IB team's work is (as far as I'm concerned) still pretty much the best thing you can do out of Total War series. Not to mention the Kingdoms are much more enjoyable to play, just for the sake of interface and gameplay. Compared to Rome 2, of course. And, please, EB 2 is not something you can compare to IB 2. Two totally different mods. At least if you know a bit of history...

What's Imperium Aquilarum? Are you plugging your own mod? Even if the EB2 team made a late roman mod for Rome 2, Odoacer still wouldn't be obsolete. Imperium Aquilarum doesn't stand a chance.

[_Tartaros_]

totally second that.
this is no competition. If you like r2 gameplay and it´s limits - ok. If you like total conversation mods which the engine of r2 doesn´t allow, then you are in the right place.

All credits to the modders, who make the PC wargames more pleasurable for the rest of us! No offense meant.

no offense taken.

Personally, I doubt anything for Rome 2 could match up to the glory of IB2 and EB2. What can you do with Rome, just make some skin changes?

[Lannes1]

What's the estimated release date for this mod?

[Reno Melitensis]

No date so far, but we will keep you in touch on the mod progress as we go.

Cheers

de_Montfort only speaks the truth +rep!!! Rome2 is just a bad joke!

[Lannes1]

When will the game be completed and available, please?

[Reno Melitensis]

We are still in the development phase. But we are making progress. Currently we are also working on IBFD II too.

Cheers

Great news Reno Melitensis!

After test-playing a bucket load of mods over the last 2 years, the only ones I seriously enjoyed for a longer campaign were the Invasio Barbarorum mods and Roma Surrectum 2. I think IB2 SAI was as close to perfection as possible with the Rome TW engine. Absolutely epic and fantastic mod, the immersion and depth were off the charts. Conquestvs Brittanie is also a masterpiece, but not quite the right scenario for me, I'm eagerly anticipating the final version of Africa Vandalorvm and the release of Odoacer and IBFD II. FD II will be fantastic, I'm sure.

I haven't been here for a long time but now I'm really pleased that I could read the mod probably would be released soon. My favorite historical age.

We still need to do more work. We are currently working on Odovacer and IBFD2 the full mod at the same time.
