HELLO EVERYONE
Just to say next week Rome Total War is SIXTEEN years old ,yes it's an old game now, BUT still a great game ,in the multiplayer part of the game we have noticed a bid decrease in player numbers ,so a group of us are thinking of contacting Creative Assembly(the developers of RTW) and Sega and Steam with some ideas to bring RTW into 2020 ,to attract new computer game players ,new players are essential for keeping RTW alive ,and i wondered if any of you might have any ideas and suggestions that we could take to Creative Assembly without taking away that "special" ingredient that has made it such a great game ,a sympathetic Remastering is maybe all that is needed ?.
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS SO FAR...
1) UPDATING THE GRAPHICS FOR 2020 ,updating the Graphics is essential to attract new players ,but giving really up to date modern graphics to RTW may cause problems for players with older computer in the form of lag ,so maybe two options when it come to Graphics , 1} new top notch modern graphics, 2} "Classic" graphics which would give the player original graphics ,so a player with an older comp could maybe play 2v2 with the new modern graphics ,then go to the "classic" graphics for any larger battles like 3v3 or 4v4.
2) Introducing blood and gore ,to give the battle more authenticity ,something i think modern computer game players demand.
3) In multiplayer at the moment the biggest battles are 4v4 ,how about a 6v6 or 8v8 ,WITHOUT lag ,i am not sure this can be done ,but surely in 2020 there might be a way of doing this ,imagine a massive 8v8 battle without any lag ,that would be epic.
4) NEW MAPS....ISLAND MAPS ,with an island map there would be several "wading point" for attacking troops to wade across to attack the island ,maybe water up to there chests ? ,imagine if the defending troops waded out into the water and they fought in the water ,add the blood and dead bodys floating in the water ,this could add another level of interest to the modern comp gamer ?.
ISLAND MAPS WITH NO WADING POINTS ,there could be islands with no wading points, and the only way to attack would be by Roman landing crafts ,so say if each Roman ship could have 2 units in it ,your team could load all your troops up and each players decides on where there ships make a landing and disembark there troops to fight the enemy on the island.
5) Ask steam to have a look at why units in RTW "Glitch" so often ,which can really spoil the multiplayer battles.
These are just some of the ideas put forward ,is there anything else any of you would like to add ,i think if Creative assembly ,Sega and Steam can see a way of making good money again from RTW by Remastering and repackaging RTW ,they may become very interested in our ideas ,would be great if ALL the RTW community could contribute to a possible remastering of RTW ,and bringing it into 2020 ,so that it can once again attract newer players ,and there for keep RTW alive and well.
YOUR IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE TO CREATIVE ASSEMBLY ,SEGA and STEAM WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
