There are no words. Like Gäiten correctly said, this is the end of an era; I still remember the first rumours and talks here at twcenter about a follow-up, a next version, of IBFD 7.03. It was like, what, 12 years ago? So many things happened, good and bad, unfortunately, during this time... but one of the things always present was the wait for this new IBFD, this "RR". Congratulations on the release, and I praise your persistence. All the best for your next endeavours!

Does anyone know why in the launch options after i modify "nm" into "ne" (in order to play in windowed mode) the art from the main menu changes into a video of the game? Am I changing anything else from the mod when I make this little modification?

**MarcoAurelio82** · September 28, 2019, 04:14 AM

Thanks for making this mod! I was searching news about Invasio Barbarorum Flagellum Dei (I have played an old version of it some years ago) and I'm come here following user Joar banner that publicizes this new mod (a new RTW mod in 2019: awesome!). I have taken a look to the mod characteristics: the start date of this mod it's the same of Flagellum Dei mod and 3-4 factions are different. So I was wondering: it's IBRR an evolution of IBFD, or it has sense to download and play also IBFD 7.03 because the two mods they are anyway focused in different aspects?

No idea, Gäiten better answer this one...

Yes, RR is an evolution of FD, but a complete overhaul. Completely new units, ui's etc. The factions are also different, as well as some starting positions, making RR a new experience. So in my opinion it makes perfect sense to download and play them both.

Will have to check this.
Never tested this before.
Do you have Windows 10?

The base for IBRR is IBFD and so I see IBBR as evolution of.

A big change in my opinion is the increased importance of the Eastern factions, especially the Sassanians. They were an equal of the Late Romans and their feundal structure was quite difficult to get into the game (though I think I have got it).
Furthermore, I wanted to get more different factions and tribes into the game. Having some of them as Mercs did this (e.g. as to the Saxons).
The Romans do have a great number of units, but not so many as in other mods.

There have been made some changes to the Stratmap (you will see while playing

)

IMHO you will have a gameplay you might recognized from IBFD, but the longer you play you will recognize the differences made in IBRR.

So enjoy this game.

Yes, I play on windows 10. I also wanted to ask if the unlimited men option is somehow modified?, because even when I change it to TRUE it does not seem to work.

Congratulations for the release!!

If I'dont activate scripts the advisor continues to appear. Is there a way to not see it without activating scripts?

Another download link has been added to the opening post. Big thanks to Leon Katakalon!

**Gäiten** · September 30, 2019, 09:55 AM

So generally spoken, what are your impressions of the Game?

**_TotalWar_** · September 30, 2019, 06:44 PM

11-12 years waiting for it... and I still haven't played it (lack of time). Perhaps I will also wait a bit for you to fix the small "bugs" mentioned on this sub-forum

One thing I think I didn't notice in the previews during all these years is that the Saxons aren't in the campaign. Not a criticism, though, I think it's an interesting decision and makes a difference in RR in regards to other mods in the Invasio Barbarorum universe. I understand they and the Romano-British faction wouldn't have that much impact overall in the specific case of Ruina Romae, so I understand the decision. And there's always the great IB2 Conquestus Britanniae mod for Medieval 2, for a specific, full-blown and immersive campaign in that part of the Late Antique world.
One thing I've noticed though, is that Arian Christianity is not in RR, am I right? Contrarily to the other released and feature-complete Invasio Barbarorum mod, SAI. I might even make a submod adding it to RR, if I find the time. If I'm not mistaken, adding other big Christian movements like Nestorianism or the Monophysites doesn't make sense in 410, right?... Another thing, does RR have the ethnicities like SAI (I mean, people with traits like "romano-germanic", stuff like that)?
Other quick thing, have you ever planned to make a campaign starting some years before, during Theodosius I's reign?
And finally, this one specifically for Joar, have you managed to find that beautiful Roman ui previewed years ago, which I've asked you a couple of times already in the past?

You're mistaken, Arian Christianity is most certainly already in.

In contrast to Nicene Christianity, it features three levels.

No.

Other quick thing, have you ever planned to make a campaign starting some years before, during Theodosius I's reign?

Not at this moment, no.

I haven't had the time to go through the old files, but I promise I will check.
