So RTRPE can be played with BI, i didnt know this. So what exactly is RTR 7.0 that is suppossed to come out? Isnt is suppossed to be compatible with BI? If so, what is the difference between 7.0 and RTRPE?

The estimated release date for RTR 7.0 is TBA, but I expect it sometime this winter...

Yes, RTR 7.0 is based on the BI engine and will require BI installed to play.

Essentially, RTR 7.0 is a revamp of RTR fully utilizing the BI engine, and RTRPE is a direct port of RTR 6.0 Gold to RTW 1.5 with no new features save for loyalty and rebellions. RTRPE is now the preferred version of RTR because it is accepted that the AI in RTW 1.5 is superior to 1.2.

Uhh... did you forget about the counter-factions??? These are introduce to give each campaign a different objective and different things to worry about.

RTRPE is just RTR Gold that works with the 1.5 patch, and can be easily modded to work with BI.

RTR 7.0 is a completely new version. It will have a different map, new factions (using the counter-faction system mentioned above), many new/improved units and so on. It will also utilise more BI features than RTRPE currently does.

He meant the fact that you can play RTRPE with Bi.exe. Any feature from BI you will have to integrate yourself or to find some add-on out there that does this for RTRPE.

Thanks Walrus! You are bloody champion

It's a little more complicated than I thought, but I've bookmarked it and will look into it.

Thanks again!
