Topic: ROME TOTAL WAR Posted: 02-Jun-2006 at 17:35 |
I don't really like Rome Total Realism MOD. It may be more realistic, but the units/soldiers just look to "Plain" for me to enjoy the game. I prefer flashier units. Also check out this mod that recreates Feudal japan with the RTW engine.
Also this one which creates an Indian (Mauryan) faction:

I just started playing this (with Armenia of course). The map is totally wrong, Armenia is depicted to be Eastern Anatolia (which is correct) and Colchis (present Georgia) instead of Shirvan (Present Azerbaijan)...Armenia never took control of Colchis...

I just bought this game last week and it is very addicting. I learned that I am not too good of a tactician and that I don't really have that much "me time" anymore, if at all.
But it's a very good game and I'm glad I finally picked it up.

I am going to re-install RTW, with the BI expansion pack.
What mods do you recommend to make the game more realistic.
Also, do any of the mods affect the expansion or just the main campaign? I am more insterested in modding the expansion.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I seem to keep playing it. I use the Terrae Expugnandae mod and it seems to be good for me and more importantly my computer. The SPQR and Total Realism ones were a bit more taxing on my not so high speed computer so this one is great for me.

Playing Rome Total War has really helped me learn about military tactics. I have read books on all this and I tried it out and it is so helpful.

If you have not read this book already, I would recommend The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

I've never really conquered the whole world. Once I get to a certain point where I'm unstoppable I restart. Usually around 70-80 percent of the map taken. With the TE mod i've acomplished this on VH/H with Ptolemies,Rome,Macedon,Greek States,Germania, and Scythian. I'm currently on a Iberian campaign and is a somewhat easy time so far as I've taken all of present day Spain and I just sacked Carthago. I might start a Numidian campaign though if Rome cant challenge me in the field with this campaign.

Yes, i also usually restart after about 70 percent because there doesnt seem to be much of a challenge at that point, but eventually i will attempt to take the entire map just to say that i did lol.

Well my Iberian campaign has turned nasty as Rome decided to betray our alliance(go figure damn romans)in turn I'm currently sacking and destroying her cities. Not trying to hold just exterminate and destoying all her buildings. Roma and the city closest to the south are currently in flames. I hate backstabers lol.

Can you actually selectivelly destroy buildings in RTW? Either in your own or in enemy cities?
