ERROR

[Acreon]

Hi all, I played with this mod and I saw several historical mistakes that for a mod that says it wants to make the game more realistic errors are serious ... For example, the territories of Armenia has huge that he never had during the time of Hannibal. But there are far more serious errors:

1 = Hannibal was alone during his campaign in Italy, but there is another army ... serious error!

2 = The city of Apulia should not be in the hands of the Carthaginians and should not be called taras but Tarentum (Taranto).

3 = The Romans did not have walls in their city?? when ever!?!?

4 = The Carthaginians and the Numidians allies !?!?! This is completely surreal! Numidia was historically created by a former governor of Numidia servant of the Carthaginians and then had rebelled against the Carthaginians, and were allied with the Romans!

5 = Gauls and Germans allies!?!? The Gauls and the Germans hated it to death!

6 = The Senate declares war on giuli after only 2 rounds for no reason.

7 = The Senate still relies on a mission to conquer the Liguria which is already taken by Romans ... bad mistake ... Also calls Genua on the map but the game is still convinced that it's called Segesta.

8 = The numidians should be to numidia not in libia ...

9 = The Iberians in the Sahara??

10 = Do not know about you but when I started playing I noticed that diplomatic relations are a disastrously ... especially for the poor Romans! before even finishing the first round as soon as you start playing you can not help but notice that the poor Romans are at war with all, I say, all of the factions ... The Romans are at war with the Scythians and Seleucids and British and Armenian and Pontic even before you meet them! I find myself at war with the factions that do not even know where they are on the map! frankly not a very realistic ...

11 = The mod should not be called SPQR, was to be called not to use the Romans are crazy because otherwise you'll end up at war with the world and you must fight against the Carthaginians, Gauls the Germans Greeks Macedonians Seleucids the Dacians the Numidian ... and meanwhile face a civil war against the Senate!
It is very realistic ... if you've never read a book on Roman history ... sorry if I dare say this but I have not found anything realistic ...

12 = all units in the game have 2 hit points, and the Spartans in this release are indestructible because they have three hit points, never flee from the battlefield, fighting in a phalanx formation, 50 points armor, attack 28 points, add points experience, upgrade, and you'll get the terminator that can not be defeated even by elephants!

I Can find other errors...but i will not say anything
Good Work For!

Guess you are trolling, but anyhow...
Did you even bother to look at the readme?
I suggest you actually read the authors note on this mod and what it is trying to accomplish.

7. SPQR: Total War is not set for complete realism but is intended to enhance gameplay with some realism added.

All of the other points you raised have already been discussed on these forums already if you use the search function, alternatively they have already been mentioned and explained in the readme.

If you want realism go play EB, if you want fun play SPQR.
I played EB for years, but I enjoy the battles in SPQR more, and that's why I play these games, to have fun, I'f I want a history lesson then I'll go watch a documentry.
Also, if you look carefully, you will see the Spartans have a high "total Defence" but the armour value is quiet low.

What do you expected from someone who is new and I guess does not know how to follow instrution? , I myself enjoy playing SPQR, and thank you for creating this mod.

The battles are realistic as is the logistics, I never said geographically it would be realistic, its almost like he got EB and RTR mixed up with my mod. lol

There are MANY things done in the game that are NOT errors but done because of the AI and the limitations of RTW. You need to read the readme more carefully and not assume all the MAIN mods are realism mods, by your statements you will probably critique RS2 next. lol sheesh

I think that Acreon is new to RTW-mods and maybe to Total War franchise as general or at least I hope so (taking into account his first post). RTW is computer strategy game (my favorite btw) and therefore could only be an approximation to the real life history events and battles. SPQR is one of the few mods that can give you some strong sense of reality (especially if you follow strictly the House-Rules).

i am not new to spqr.. but the number 10 (diplomacy problem) is a big problem... can you change that and post the files here for them who wants to play with other factions?
to have the normal diplomacy..
