February 19, 200619 yr True that! I remember there being a thread where people felt that FPS games should mimic reality as much as possible

February 19, 200619 yr Actually, the RTR mod has a better balance of fun/realism than Rome Total War vanilla. The Europa Barbarorum mod takes realism to extreme levels. That mod is *NOT* fun. The gripe against vanilla Rome is just that: It's a fun game, but in their enthusiasm of trying to make things fun for most people, they overshot it and as a result gave their fanbase a hernia over the liberties they took to make it more appealing. If you were to read CA's forums, and the fansite message boards, the majority of those that post are in agreement. Rome Total War is a great game, but could have been so much more if they stayed closer to their roots. That's why literally hundreds of thousands have downloaded the various versions of the RTR mod (and other mods like EB or SPQR), and a disproportianately high percentage of those who did download the mods actually prefer it to RTW vanilla. Why? Because they fixed unit balancing. They smartened up the AI. (atleast to a certain extent). They added better formations. They made unit rosters more realistic. They improved the economy model. They expanded the campaign map eastward (western India) and southward into the Numidian kingdom. They increased the number of playable factions (including Macedon!).

February 19, 200619 yr :D Sounds like lots of fun, I'll make sure my next excursion into Anciet Rome is via the Total Realism mod ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
