Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Improvements in RTH 2.0

- Added almost 100 new buildings
- Significant map improvements
- Introduced supply line system
- Added over 120 permanent forts for a total of almost 250
- Implemented Signifer One's Animation Pack v0.8 Beta
- SUPPLY LINES and CHARACTER TRAITS
- Introduced supply line system *
- Added new character traits Encouraged/Discouraged (Weary)*- Added advisory message for character trait WoundedSpoiler Alert, click show to read:* Supply lines are simulated by character traits. After operating for a few years in enemy territory a general and his army will
become increasingly discouraged. Statistically this should start after four turns and reach its maximum after eight years, but
certain events such as defeats or inconclusive sieges may accelerate the process, while important victories or conquests will
reverse it. When an exhausted general enters a city and stays there for a while he should quickly recover and so will the morale
of his troops. When a general gets exhausted or recovers from fatigue, the player will receive a message.
- Added character trait Healed with advisory message
- Added new character traits Patrician/Plebeian for Romans

- Roman sons will get historic Patrician/Plebeian trait at coming of age

- NEW ANCILLARIES
- Added over 160 new ancillaries**
- Added specific ancillaries for ports in exarchats**
- Added many specific ancillaries to get in forts**
- Added over 500 new specific triggers for ancillaries**
- Increased defense values for ancillary Archimedes- MORE PERMANENT FORTSSpoiler Alert, click show to read:** Some specific ancillaries have been added to illustrate certain ports in irregular positions without a land connection to the
capital, such as Emporiae, Tyras, Tylis, Pharos, Laodicea, and Mago. In these cases, when you build the port, the ancillary will
turn up to explain how it was founded and why it was important.
Similar has been done for a number of forts, namely Alauna, Samarobriva, Durocortorum, Cenabum, Bibracte, Vienna, Darioritum,
Pompaelo, Salamantica, Ilerda, Verona, Bracara, Serdica, Tylis, Elis, Samos, Amastris, Gangra, Gordion, Tavium, Kotais, Arados,
Byblos, Gadara, Philadelphia, Lynxama, Thamondocana, and many more. These ancillaries usually tell the name of the fort together
with some interesting notion on the history of the place and maybe their personal story. To get these ancillaries it is
necessary to conquer the fort with a general.
Many other ancillaries have been added for spies reaching periferic cities of the game. Now it is a worthy deed to send your
explorers to cities such as Thule, Kasia, Pattala, Ubar, or Axum, because in any case you can expect to make some interesting
discoveries, extraordinary persons to add to your retinue or rare animals to present to your king and the people at home. There
is also a number of famous explorers ready to do this, especially in Egypt and Nubia.
Many ancillaries have been added for admirals, especially historic pirates and similar. Finally a number of ancillaries has been
added for Pontus (retinue of Mithridates the Great) and Armenia (nobility titles).
Some ancillaries have now veiled interests, which means they might stir up some unrest, but you won't know exactly, because you
are only warned not to trust them blindly. To learn if the allegations are true and how dangerous they actually are, you need to
test them.
- Added more permanent forts for a total of almost 250
- Added trait Immortal for resident spies in permanent forts***- Added permanent fort Darioritum in AremoricaSpoiler Alert, click show to read:*** This works only with Alexander. It makes the forts lasting for the entire game, unless the spy is killed or reactivated
during a siege. However this trait is not featured on all forts to represent the fact that some cities were destroyed, or
disappeared from our history radar between the 3rd and 2nd century. Unless you keep them permanently garrisoned, these forts
will disappear when the immobilized spy dies. Those with an immortal spy will probably last until the end of the time frame, but
only if you play under Alexander.

* The most important new feature of version 1.8 are improved wooden walls. These have been implemented by Aradan, using the building developed by RedFox for DTW.
However not every culture has these walls: Barbarians and Egyptians still use the vanilla palisades and walls. Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians have also improved palisades, using the old wooden wall instead. If anybody wants to use the new walls for Barbarians or Egyptians too, please mail me and I will show you how to do.
** Due to an error in version 1.7 Amber road could be built in many cities without the necessary resource amber. Now the building is only available in the area between the Black Sea, the Adriatic Sea, and the Baltic Sea.
*** In version 1.7, due to wrong reference, a number of local ancillaries were never triggered. Now this error has been corrected and many additional ancillaries have become available.

Idea:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:The main objective of this mod is a true representation of the ancient world in a highly improved campaign map for maximum playability.
The political situation around the Mediterranean is the balance of powers from the year 280 BC. Unfortunately however our historical knowledge of the 3rd century BC is limited to the civilized parts of the world, while the situation of many Barbarian tribes at this early stage is completely unknown. With a deadline of 280 BC countries like Germany, Britain and many others would be entirely without towns and leaders. Some enter the historical radar only in the 1st century BC and some do it only for a very short moment. This is the reason why I have decided that time must be relative in this mod. So the political situation in the Hellenistic world is that of the years 300-275 BC, including the Celtic migration in the Balkans. But moving west and north, time shifts to a later period, with towns and leaders chosen from the 2nd or 1st century BC and eventually even the Christian era. Thus in the northern periphery each nation is represented in its moment of splendour with the rulers who achieved maximum glory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Map:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Rome Total History features a completely reworked campaign map going from Scotland to Aethiopia and India with unprecedented detail and historic accuracy. This regards cities, region borders, mountain passes, roads, rivers, rebel factions and many more features.
As pointed out above, cities in Britain and Germany are from the 1st century BC or even the Christian era. Thus, there are cities in the game that didn’t exist as early as 280 BC, but became important later. The idea is to set the stage for the Roman conquest and therefore some of the most prominent colonies (Lugdunum, Burdigala) are still on the level of villages, so they need to be developed in any case.
The limitation of 199 regions is another problem. I would have preferred to have 250 regions, but in the end it was a good incentive on staying focused. When it came to a necessary choice, I usually preferred the big and famous cities in the central areas of the map. Many other mods include tribes in the periphery of which we barely know the name. This is not my philosophy, because most of the historic action is supposed to take place in the Mediterranean. That's the reason why my map has five regions in Sicily and the Peloponnese each, which were the most crowded battle grounds of the era.
Such a concentration would almost certainly result in a clumsy situation if it wasn’t for a number of countermeasures. The most important among these are additional mountain passes, islands and land bridges. The number of passages across the Alpes has been increased from four to sixteen which gives many more strategic options. The following picture shows Northen Italy and the Alpes:
There are almost 100 land bridges for highly improved playability. Finally even the computer is able to manage an invasion across the strait of Messina or the Hellespont.
In one test run the First Punic War started exactly in 264 BC. The following picture shows the situation in 263 BC. I played Macedon and the Romans had just declared war against Carthage, laying siege on the town of Panormus in Sicily.
A few years later the Romans had taken both Panormus and Lilybaeum. Then after a short pause the war started again in Spain where both factions clashed on the border between Saguntum and Tarraco.
Warning: In some rare cases on the most tiny islands and land bridges battles won’t work. This happens, because on a limited ground the generator won’t find enough space to locate the troops of a large army. Therefore it will load the battle map, but then your computer will freeze and you’ll be forced to restart it. If this happens, you must choose to resolve the battle automatically. The same may happen if you want to bring a battling army reinforcements across a land bridge. Though annoying, at least, I think, it is quite realistic that this manoeuvre may fail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Factions:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:A new feature allowing to broaden the range of the game is the idea to combine several nations into one multi-area faction. This was already the case in Vanilla with the Greek Cities, but now it has been done with Epirus/Sicily, the Hellenic Kingdoms, the Illyrians/Thracians, the Getae/Goths, the Gauls/Galatians, the Britons/Belgae and most of all with the Eastern/Independent Kingdoms. This gives those nations a better chance of survival and a much improved range of interaction right from the start. Since interaction is the driving factor for playing fun, it has even been improved for the other nations, by giving them at least some diplomats allowing to observe the events in distant parts of the world. The Hellenistic epoch after 280 BC was indeed the period when diplomatic contact was established between Rome and Egypt or Macedon and the Mauryans.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Family Trees:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:A lot of work has been concentrated on leaders. These are represented in family trees as close as possible to historic relations. As regards the Hellenistic dynasties, if it wasn’t for the limitations of the game (at maximum four children, no second or third marriage, no marriage between siblings), you might even pass a university exam studying from these family trees. The Republics like Rome and Carthage are organized by parties instead (Populares and Optimates). To have these families as complete as possible, it is again necessary to assume that time is relative, including some of the dynasty founders who were already dead by 280 BC. So please take note that the inclusion of Seleucus or Ptolemy in the game is not an error, but a deliberate choice.
All in all there are almost thousand historic figures in the game, many with correct characterization (as known) and relatives, including parents, wives and children. People with no direct relationship have been “connected” into the “family” by “marriage”.
If you encounter a particularly valid adversary you may consider to check Wikipedia to see what his actual feats have been. Of course, as the game goes on and new leaders are generated by random, the number of historic protagonists will diminish. But at the beginning every named leader is historic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Units:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Unit modding was guided by the need to cover the entire map with special forces for each nation. A lot of work has been concentrated on the diversification of the multi-national factions which ahve now a large range of different units available in specific areas of recruitment (AOR). Thus the Eastern Kingdoms recruit Bithynian or Greek troops in Asia Minor, Nabataean and Sabaean bedouins in Arabia and Bactrian or Indian troops in the East.
The AOR-system extends on the whole map and applies also to traditional factions such as the Egyptians, who may recruit Greek units in their Aegean dominions, Levantine units in Syria and Nubian units down the Upper Nile. Similar diversifications have been implemented for many other factions, especially the Hellenic Kingdoms, Epirus/Syracuse, Illyria/Thrace, Gaul/Galatia and the Celts.
Many units have been derived from the vanilla stock by changing uniform colours. Others have been taken from previous mods such as Extended Cultures (XC). But there are also very original new entries such as Bithynian Snake Hurlers, Scythian Police Archers, Steppe Hunters (with dogs), Caledonian Highlanders, Agrianian and Lydian Javelineers, Cadusian Skirmishers, Hyrcanian Woodcutters, Arabian Merchants, Leopard Warriors, Temple Robbers, Sutler Train, to name but a few. All skins and icons have been created to highest standard using vanilla colours for each faction and green to distinguish the mercenaries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Buildings:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Regarding the building trees there are some essential novelties. The most prominent feature is the polytheistic temple system that allows to build at last four different temples contemporarily. If you build a sanctuary in a first moment this will not exclude that you build others later in the same town. Moreover it will open the possibility to build an additional shrine. Shrines are still working the old way, which means that building one you exclude all the others, but not the sanctuaries. After Marian reforms some nations get additional Cults. Most nations have now between ten and twenty gods with accurate descriptions adding new layers to each culture. Many known temples have been included in the game: Saturn and Vesta in Rome, Demeter in Syracuse, Hera in Agrigentum, Heracles and Castor and Pollux in Sparta, Asclepius in Argos (Epidauros), Zeus in Achaea, Parthenon in Athens, Helios in Rhodes, Aphrodite in Panticapaeum, Cybele in Phrygia, Ishtar in Babylon, Indra and Buddha in Taxila and Pattala, Astarte in Tyros, Jehova in Jerusalem, Dushara in Petra, Sun Temple in Saba and Aethiopia, Serapis in Alexandria, Seth in Memphis, Horus in Thebes, Zeus-Ammon in Siwa/Ammonion, Tanit in Carthage, Moritasgus in Alesia to name the most prominent.
Among the new buildings you find also a Garrison that can be upgraded to a Citadel/Acropolis (adding better defenses to your walls). Among the more curious features are a Festival of Dionysos and a Lupanar/Hetairion/Harem. The execution square is now available for most nations and the Secret Police has been renamed to Tribunal/Basilica of Justice.
On the strategy map the Watchtowers have been transformed into Minor Settlements with individual names for each faction. Thus the Romans and Epirotes may build Colonies or Castrums/Castles, the Carthaginians and Egyptians Emporiums or Citadels, the Macedonians Garrison Towns, the Seleucids Military Colonies, the Scythian Kurgans, the Numidians Oases, the Slaves Camps and so on. Between Minor Settlements and Forts about a hundred additional towns have been added to the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Since the game aims at an equilibrium between the factions, diplomacy is essential to master the scenario. Be alert, however, because some nations are intended to break the equilibrium. Many situations are not easy to master, while other tasks may appear quite simple. Unfortunately the latter are necessary to make the game behave in in a certain direction regarding the expansion of the computer faction. Each faction has however a special challenge which is specified in the campaign description. For the problematic ones this may be a hint on how to survive and for the stronger ones it may be a way to increase the thrill.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Factions list:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:The following is the faction list with these challenges and some essential advice for each nation:
- Roman Republic
Rome appears quite easy, but the problem is money. To make sure the computer faction does what it is supposed to do, the Romans have been giving lots of valid units right from the start. Thanks to their strength the computer usually unites Italy within 20 or 30 rounds and starts expanding into Gallia Transalpina. If you think that this is too easy, you might disband some of your units in order to spare your money, but beware of Pyrrhus who is waiting in Tarentum.
CHALLENGE: If your expansion proceeds all to smoothly start a two frontier war against Pyrrhus and the Gauls contemporarily. That will surely increase the thrill.
- Epirus/Syracuse
Epirus is a difficult faction. Usually the computer loses Southern Italy within 30 rounds and when the Romans move into Sicily extinction is not far away. Thanks to Pyrrhus’ army you might revert this fate, but let some of the Romans live, because without them ancient history wouldn’t be the same. So you better secure Southern Italy and then move on to unite Sicily or conquer Macedon as Pyrrhus did.
CHALLENGE: Resist the Romans without taking their cities. Try to unite Sicily following through with Pyrrhus' plans. Finally move your army back to Hellas to conquer Macedon. If you can reach Argos without being killed you really mastered it.
- Hellenic Kingdoms (Sparta, Pergamum, Bosphoran Kingdom, Bactria)
You may try to unite the Peloponnese under Spartan rule or Asia Minor under the Pergamese Attalids. The situation in Greece is quite complex and you shouldn’t push too hard here. Maybe you better go to conquer some islands such as Lesbos or Crete.
Since each of the scattered territories needs its own army, these multi-national factions have a problem with the treasury. You need to increase your trade and conquer new regions to raise the cost of your defense. If that is not enough consider to disband your most expensive units.
Due to large distances you also lose a lot of money and this is why you probably need to concentrate on one or two of your regional areas.
CHALLENGE: Your huge armies are needed to defend your scattered territories, but they are far to costly. To avoid bankruptcy you need some quick conquest.
- Greek Cities (Massilia, Agrigentum, Achaea, Athens, Rhodes, Byzantium, Chersonesus)
The Greek Cities might stay peacefully caring their trade interests and probably nobody would harm them. But the programme of Aratus of Sicyon is to unite Hellas under Achaean leadership and this includes taking Argos and Corinth.
CHALLENGE 1: Take Corinth and unite the Peloponnese.
CHALLENGE 2: Somewhere in the Western Ocean the Massiliote explorer Pytheas is preparing to circumnavigate Britain and visit the island of Thule. Can you find it without cheating?
- Carthage
Carthage has a hard pressing neighbour in Numidia and the war might go either way. But sooner or later they will be pressed in Sicily by the Syracusans or more probably by the Romans. In the meantime it is good advice to strengthen your position in Spain, and then Hannibal may launch his famous attack on Italy.
CHALLENGE: Long supply lines are a huge problem and you need more ports. Consolidate your position in Africa and Spain and then cross the Alpes into Italy.
- Ptolemaic Egypt
Egypt always looked quite isolated down in its angle, but this has notably changed in this game, since the Ptolemies have now a lot of interests in Greece and Asia Minor. Beware of the Seleucid, but even more of the Macedonians, who are chasing your son Ptolemy Keraunos in Thrace and threaten to break your hold over the Nesiote League in the Cyclades. Halicarnassus and Mytilene might be good additions to your naval empire. In Hellas you should use your diplomacy to weaken the Macedonians. If you have money to spare use it to help the Epirotes and whoever is pressed by his imperialistic neighbours.
CHALLENGE: Create an island empire in the Aegean to prevent any other hegemony in Greece. Keep the Seleucids at bay and use your diplomacy to weaken the Macedonians. Contemporarily move south to conquer Nubia and Saba to get control of the profitable frankincense and spice trade from Hadramaut.
- Seleucid
Keeping together the vast territory conquered by Seleucus is a hard task since you are surrounded by enemies.
CHALLENGE: Add Egypt to your domains or conquer India and the Arabian peninsula to put your hands on the frankincense and spice trade.
- Macedon
In 280 BC Macedon was on the verge of extinction due to civil war between several pretenders and a Celtic invasion in Greece. As a consequence this is a hard task. Moreover, your dynasty founders Antigonus the One-Eyed and Demetrius the Besieger are trapped in Asia Minor and your brother Demetrius the Handsome is on a desperate mission in Africa trying to take the Kingdom of Cyrene. Before these leaders go on the offensive you should think of saving Hellas from the Gauls and consolidate your position in Macedonia.
The first place to conquer is Thebes to assure your connection with Corinth. But since the Thermopylae are a dangerous passage, you may consider sending your troops by ship. The next step would be to safeguard your northern border against the Dardanians. Be aware however that your most active enemy, though it may not seem, is probably Ptolemy who will use the Egyptian subsidies to weaken the Macedonian hold on Greece. Hellas itself is in equilibrium and it may not be a wise idea to destroy it deliberately. But surrounded by enemies, as you are, sooner or later you will be forced to make an imperialistic move in order to survive.
CHALLENGE: Consolidate your position in Hellas and then move east like Alexander the Great.
- Pontus
Pontus looks quite isolated, but they can become an important player in Asia Minor. You may also try to invade the Chersonesus or the Aegean.
CHALLENGE: Consolidate your position in Asia Minor and then move either north to conquer the Bosphoran Kingdom or west into Ionia and Greece like Mithridates did.
- Armenia
Armenia is a hard task, but isolation and difficult territory should help them to survive.
CHALLENGE: To increase your thrill start a war with the Seleucids.
- Parthia
As a computer faction Parthia is doing quite well eating parts of the Seleucid empire. This is their task and it should not be too difficult, but beware of the Bactrians and Mauryans in the east.
CHALLENGE: Keep the Bactrians at bay while you move west to conquer Mesopotamia.
- Scythia
The problem for Scythia are long supply lines. Your first task is to get your economy going and then don't forget to conquer.
CHALLENGE: You can explore the vast steppes of Asia and Eastern Europe, but beware of the warlike Getans in their mountain range.
- Germans
Here you have a country to develop. Don’t get lost in the forest!
CHALLENGE: When you have consolidated your territory try to meet the Roman consul Marius at Arausio.
- Gauls (Gaul and Galatia)
Due to their huge armies scattered over the Balkans, the Gauls will soon run out of money. Use your resources to strengthen your position in Galatia.
CHALLENGE: Retreat your troops from Hellas trying to build a little kingdom along the Danubian. In the meantime unite Gaul and enlarge Galatia without going bankrupt.
- Celtic Tribes (Britons, Belgae, Noricum and Tylis)
The Celtic invasion of the Balkans has had some success and if the Celts manage to secure a connection between Noricum and Thrace they may create a huge empire. In the meantime they can try to unite all of Britain, but the Brigantes and the Picts won’t be easy to conquer. Make sure you don’t run out of money.
CHALLENGE: Unite Britain and enlarge your kingdoms on the continent without going bankrupt.
- Iberian Tribes
The Iberians shouldn’t be fooled by their isolated position. In the south the Carthaginians are strong contenders and sooner or later the Gauls and Romans will try to invade their peninsula. So they better get united soon.
CHALLENGE: Conquer Numantia and resist the Carthaginians. For more thrill start contemporary wars against the Gauls and the Romans.
- Numidia
Numidia looks quite isolated down in Western Africa, but they are a good challenge to the Carthaginians.
CHALLENGE: Resist the Carthaginians and try to reach the famed Nigirian city of Thamondocana.
- Illyria and Thrace
Two nations in a central part of the map. Since the Balkans are crammed with rebels this task is not easy at all.
CHALLENGE: Create a Balkan empire. It won't be easy, but if you get that impression start a war with Rome or Macedon.
- Dacia
A nice place to watch the world go round and see how other nations develop.
You can also forget about the Dacians and play the Goths instead, moving south to build their empire on the shores of the Black Sea.
CHALLENGE: Resist your imperialistic ambitions and keep defending your small territory.
- Eastern Kingdoms (Bithynia, Atropatene, Nabataea, Saba and Mauryan Empire)
These may be played individually or as a whole. Together they might become the dominators of Asia. But you can also decide to play only one or two of the five nations. Then you can either put their cities in automatic or give them as a gift to other nations or simply wait for a slave revolt.
Since each of the scattered territories needs its own army, these multi-national factions have a problem with the treasury, and this makes this faction a very hard task. You need to increase your trade and conquer new regions to raise the cost of your defense. If that is not enough consider to disband your most expensive units. Due to large distances between your cities you also lose a lot of money to corruption and this is why you probably need to concentrate on one or two of your regional areas.
As for your expansion the first obvious targets would be Phrygia in Asia Minor, Corduene in Armenia, Gedrosia and Arachosia in India. Most profitable would be the addition of Hadramaut and Arabia with their frankincense and spice trade. Be prudent because in some of these regions you will encounter strong opposition.
CHALLENGE: Conquering Hadramaut and Arabia won't be easy, but it is necessary and worth the try, because with these two regions you would control the entire spice route from Pattala to Petra to increase your income.

Recognitions:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:This work is based on Activision’s original game Rome Total War as well as the work of a number of modders and I want to thank everybody who has made it possible. I have found a lot of valid ideas in other mods and of course it was not possible to reproduce everything by myself. So it is possible that some previous modders will find parts of their features here. This regards in particular the unit pool of RTW Extended Cultures, which has been used in order to cover the complete range of units needed for such a large map. I have been in contact with the XC developers thanks to Suppanut, to whom I have granted the use of my map. But I haven’t been able to ask permission from any single member of the team, and so I want to make up for that here. I particular I want to thank Suppanut, Anakarsis, eb, Ferres, Maraxus, Redfox, Subrosa, Webba and Zarax. When I have included units created by other modders this was meant with the highest esteem, but if anybody feels that I have infringed his intellectual property, please let me know and I will either grant you the use of an adequate part of my modding features or I will remove the units from my game and redo them from scratch. Other features taken from XC is the concept of minor settlements and the ingame maps.
My special thanks go to Suppanut and Ahowl for their constant support and to Rarity for his work on the Bithynian Hurlers.
