lol it was quite a coinserdant but no there isnt any relation ;p I think this is the team though that we have helped with some older rtw vannila skins and modding advice in certain areas but i forget as we have helped quite a few teams now back on the twc XD

yea i suppose but my computer unfortunatly does XD i get through a new modding comp every year now :p

yea lol that was our map for for the roma vicit mod Thanks again for that comrade its still working a treat

thanks all actually i shall make a new in a minuite as we have set it up at twc, we have joined with another team to work together on making sea battles a reality

Anyway i shall post a thread on that in a miniute

nice work, good luck with this mod

As time has moved on since we have announced us working on version 0.89 Of Roma Vicit there have no doudt been a few changes in our plans for the mod, mostly minor but a few larger ones as well Hence the need we have felt to update this post and this will probably not be the last either as we are always having new ideas float into our minds and such.

So to kick off once again is our faction list with a few minor changes to names and such.

Romani
Seleukid Empire
Ptolemaic Empire
Makedon
Pahlav    (Parthia)
Carthago
City State of Sparta
Achaen League
Aetolian League
Ardiaei    (Illyria)
Kingdom of Pontus
Kingdom of Armenia
Pergamum
Kingdom of Massylia    (Numidia)
Lussotana    (Spanish tribe)
Celtiberia    (Celtic-Spanish tribe)
Aedui    (Gallic Tribe)
City State of Massila
City State of Syracusae
Getae    (Tribe north of Thrace)

Once again the point of mod is to show trully the diffulculty of Roma expanding with so many rivals around her. We also want to show the true extent of the breakup of Alexanders empire into its many Kingdoms. The map is decreased in size from vannila but its scale has been vastly increase to better show the lay of the land. Its stretches from Iberia to the homeland of Parthia, and from the middle of France to North Africa. The map is a completly reworked version of Webirds map which we have used as a foundation block and then cut and reworked in certain areas.

By decreasing the geographical area of the mod, this frees up more slots for us to better represent the time period with complete realistic armies, cities, buildings ect. In fact all 199 settlement slots are filled along with all 512 model slots for unit. We are trully trying to max out the system.

With all this taken into consideration, this means we can take more time to better focus on each faction, to better represent building trees, units and of course we want to historically portray each factions way of conducting warfare.

Not only are we working on improving all aspects of coding, but we are also trying to improve the graphical effects in every possible way we can. This means all units have  high quality well detailed skins, the battle map building will be completly reworked to provide a trully authentic siege feeling. We have our own made animations by our team animator providing for the first time trully thrilling battles, with brand new reworked attack and defense animations which really creates a new feel to battlefield experience. We shall also be including the brilliant enviroment mod from RS2 with a few of our own changes including a brand new skymod. Unfortunatly though we will be removing one of the enviroment slots which we shall explain now.

Yes the reason for removing one enviroment is to make way for one of our more anticipated parts of our mod. Yes we are still planning on bringing for the first time playable sea battles, on custom battles and also playable on the campiagn map. You will have complete controll of each ship in your navy, being able to attack your enemies by either ramming other ships or by bombarding them if you have a well equiped ship with onagers, ballitas, scorpions you name it More shall be released on this soon including a complete preview dedicated to this subject

The start date for our mod is 232 BC. It provides a great starting position with lots of oppotunity for epic breakouts of war. Carthage has been expelled from Scicly & Sardinia and are hungry for revenge. With Roma controlling the once Carthago owned cities on Scicilly, tensions between Roma and City State of Syracusae is about to break out into in enivatable bloody war. With Carthago turning its attention to its minerally rich holding in Iberia, the tribes of the Lusiattani and Celtiberians will have to defend themselves to the death if there is any chance with competing with the rising power of the Romani. The pelponesse is in an ever warlike state with the once powerfull state of Makedon vying for power and land of the Aetolian and Achaen Leagues. In fact, all the states left behind from the great empire of Aleaxandros are in a very weary state and are on the brink of collapse.

From the start date we shall be including a 4 turn per year script. Also included shall be several reforms for nearly all factions, (not just Roma). We shall also include scripted events, and a very deep and expanded base of brand new traits and ancillarys, of which shall once again have preview dedicated purely to this subject to display our vast array of work which has been put into this area.

As just mentioned, we shall be including a script. However, we are planning on not relying to heavily on our script but instead trying, for instance, of making the AI act historically correct without forcing it to do so with scripts so as to not heavily wear down peoples cpu's.

So hope this little update helps maybe answer a few questions to you all. Please leave comments and questions as we are always interested to hear what you say and how we can maybe improve anything.

Hope you all enjoyed.

The RVTW team.

That's cool man, glad to help people find this great forum

Wow u can play the digeredo . We have some Vids being released soon of our mod on our YouTube account would you like us to put your name at the end as kind of advertising to the people that come from twc

its not eb animtion, its our own, were still working out the anims, when swordsman stand they hold the shield like that, this is to be fixed though glad you like

oh yeah, cant fix that because its the way the engine works out your finance divided by the population or something, its not that bad in debt though:P

Few changes to original post

Hi all.

After much discusion between our team earlyier in development, we finally decided to include this faction, even at one point we scrapped the faction Numidia but after a lot of talking and decision making, we chose to inlude this great faction.

A few reasons for this, a while after our start date, Numidia do become a strong faction even challenging Roma under the rule King Juba. Also having a faction right next to Carthage, makes the campaign for Carting a threat in Africa. We also feel that their kind of warfare was unique to the meditrainean and it would be a shame without creating a realistic portrayal of this.

Massylia unit rooster shall mostly compromise of light missile infantry and cavalry. With one or two well armoured elites and later in campaign can recruit a roman legionaire variant.

We have a few units to show now and we shall update soon with a few more pics

Archers


Massylian Spearmen


Massylian General


Massylian Heavy Skirmisher


Libyan Lancer Cavalry


Numidian Cavalry


Numidian Skirmishers


Numidian Slingers


We hope you like these pics. We shall update in a few days. With more regional units and such. We shall also be releasing a preview soon on our new building systems

Once again i would like to thank
Milner-team skinner
Algaman-team skinner and modeller
Dark_horse_spirit-animations

For all their help on this faction. A lot of work went into this for instance if you look at the pics, the units have really hands with all complete fingers instead of a plank. All the best, please comment on what all you think

Also if you notice, thats the new libyan cavalry, it has already been changed

thanks my friend

Funny that comment, we have already changed that, got some retexture touch up today and it has been removed to make it a bigger difference between them and the heavy Scutari, you can see them in the Iberian Scutari cavalry pic, sorry its not a great one of that unit

original post updated

cool starting a new thread in a min, which will be about the new features in the patch look out
