version 3.0

INTRODUCTION

After a very log break i'm proud to present you our latest release for Rome 2 Total Realism. This mod came through some rough times, when it looked it will be never properly finished, yet now it rises from its ashes bringing new and improved features and tons of changes focused on gameplay and historical authenticity.

I've made this release to honor and thank all people who participated in the past with the Rome 2 Total Realism project. Hope some of them who still play Rome 2 time to time will like what i did with it.

I would also like to thank Magnar, for all his support and help he gave me while working on this release.

~~JaM~~

R2TR 3.0 MAIN FEATURES:

Greatly improved combat mechanics, introduced many new units for Rome, while altering and changing multiple units for other factions as well. Introducing completely reworked naval combat, with new Marine units, drastically changed how units work in battle,removed unit experience and replacing it with General and Army Legacy effects for much more challenging game-play and huge importance increase for Generals.

Completely overhauled Army stances with a lot of new important effects, adjusted Agent impact on campaign play, with changed dynamics how they work now.

Complete Building overhaul brings massively reworked building effects, optimized for 12 Turns per year with DLC Campaigns. Massive changes to political system, with both benefits and negatives high politics brings. Diplomacy and AI campaign behavior adjusted, for more active AI and more challenging gameplay. Campaign changes include Public order, Taxation, Food and Growth effects rework, which should bring some logical yet quite challenging dilemmas for the player.
