Rome - Total Realism / Re: Welcome to Rome Total Realism, Say Hello and introduce yourself!
« on: September 26, 2016, 09:55:02 PM »
Hello,
I'm here at the behest of Ahowl, whom I have on my Steam friends list, and who has worked on this project with a diligence that I've found impressive.
It's possible I'm the oldest of the RTR oldies here (or close to it, anyhow). I became involved with RTR (I cannot remember which version---maybe 3?) in its very early days back in 2004, albeit then only in the role of community contributor. I became an official a member of the team in the summer of 2005 (under infamous project head Tyr, who would go on to defraud the community of donation money), working as a general contributor and beta tester for the massive project that was RTR 6; my claim to fame in that mod was the inception of the landblock that prevented the Carthaginians and Ptolemaics from moronically spending all of their resources fighting each other across a giant desert, though I added quite of bit of heres-and-theres as well. I thereupon moved on to the RTR:PE team in 2006, on which I did the unit balancing and contributed other general tweaks.
All that self-aggrandizement aside, I'm hoping to help where I may with this mod. RTW is still my favorite of the series, though it has always been mods that have made it fun. I couldn't possibly estimate how many hours I've put into playing said mods (entirely the big three, but RTR in the majority), but I can definitely estimate how much time I've spent playing vanilla: probably 20 hours or so, after which I discovered RTR. Not a fan of the Roman ninja or the Celtic head hurlers, or the wardogs, or much anything else in vanilla. I'm guessing nobody here is.
Anyhow, hi!
