The first hopes

This is my first thread in R2TW sub-forum... It has a good reason!
I wanted to start a new mod for RTW by myself but a kind friend told me to not start it unless I finish it before R2TW gets released...Cause it will be waisted work...
I don't know what to do! Will R2TW replace his predeccesor so easily that nobody will care about new mods?

[Rebel_Caesar]

Yes.

[Kirila the Kitten]

Yes.

That's the only answer I could get?
You make me feel sad...

[panzerschreck]

You, Sir, just killed a kitty!

Once Rome II comes out, 2,000,000 RTW players will throw, burn, crack their RTW CD/DVD and no one will play your mod anymore.

I'll give it the old college try. RTW and M2TW are two birds of the same flock. Right now there are plenty of people playing RTW mods because they love the time period. Once the EB team completes their Rome mod for the M2TW game, RTW players will dwindle. Once R2TW comes out, there will be significantly less. The only people that will be playing RTW mods will be those that cannot afford R2TW, doesn't have a strong enough computer to run it, does not like other time periods (TW games), or is not a fan of the EB mods. This leaves the number, estimating of course, very low.

EB has been in progress for like 7 years and is not done, R2TW comes out in less than 90 days. I am not sure how significant someone can make a mod in that short time frame, but why not wait and see what the community will be like after the release of R2TW?

My 2 cents.

[Kushite]

Barely any RTW players play mods anymore, and the people who do, go for the big brand mods. ie. RS2, EB, RTR

Most RTW players just go on multiplayer anyways, I doubt they'll go on a forum to look for the newest mod. Sorry if it's harsh, I'm just being honest. Though you can try modding when R2TW comes.

I don't think Rome 2 will "kill" Rome 1. There is a reason people still play and mod Medieval 2. But about your question if you should start a mod for Rome 1 now, really goes down what you want to do, and the nature of the mod. You might want to wait and see what modding options Rome 2 has, maybe it will be possible to make it for it... If it is Rome related that is, if it is something out of the box, then I would just go make it for Medieval 2 engine, it is the same sa r1 pretty much, but newer. But again, we have no idea how good modding for Rome 2 will be at launch, or in the future.

On a serious note, just do it man. Who cares is anyone plays it or not. The most important thing is that you accomplish it. There's no one can stop you, except yourself.

It will kill Rome, but M2TW modding community is still strong and full of vital powers. Personally im waiting more for EBII than for Rome II. Tsardoms despite being less ambitious project also gonna be amazing

I think the Kitty,s time will not be wasted by creating a mod of the original RTW.

First off it will be a long time before a major mod comes out for the new Rome.

Also one can still mod M2TW with a Roman theme.

There will be people who want to mod the older game engine for various reasons.

Will people play your mod, Does it matter if you have fun creating something.

[Lord Tomyris]

Once your mod is released, everyone will go back to the original Rome. Who knows, maybe Rome 2 will be an Empire and there will be so many bugs upon release that people will have no choice whether to play your mod or not while they wait for the patches.

[Emperor Domitianus]

Modding RTW or M2TW is now a waste of time. In less then 3 months will get only a modest mod and will not have enough time to play it. RTW2 will erase any mod made so far.

[He111]

Well, Shogun1 is also obsolete, after Shogun2 release. Sure a few die-hards will stay with Rome1 - but the majority of players will change to Rome 2.

Thanks for the support , it's true, I will do this for me!

Ignore those that say yes,

we started a mod late last year knowing full well about what might happen when the game comes out, but ever since we presented our mod to the public the people who are following have said they don't want to get R2TW, either due to the fact their PCs won't run it or they just don't want it.

So I'd say go a head, there are people who won't be getting R2TW and will be continuing to play RTW and the mods.
