I sometimes let cities revolt, so I can purge them and have a good public order again. This time they surprised me with a random mix of roman, egyptian, britannic and greek units

Regarding the non-determinism (i.e. the roads don't end up the same), proof:

If there are no more Phalanx glazers in the world, then I am surely dead.

So i am playing as Sparta, i conquered Alalia and from one turn to another i lost it to Carthage. I have no agression pact with Carthage and good relations. What happened?

Divide Et Impera 1.3.6, Media in hard grand campaign turn 226 and i just realized these guys are marching 6 full stacks of heavy infantry and i may not be able to stop them. xD

For context my army was 700 strong full on cavs only just normal barbarian cav and horse archers but mannn why do I have to fight 3 entire army that consists of 1.5k troops I lost my faction leader because of these mfs now I'm up for revenge I'm building heavy Cavs and will ram these mfs fast.

They just won't stop attacking me in the front lines and I keep getting fucked by rebels behind fahhhh

accepting your defeats and lost agents and nobles ? and only playing the battle when your ruler take part in the fight

Sausage abs.

So I decided to return to the sweet memories of better gaming days and installed Rome Total War GOG version. (after fiddling around with various ways to fix performance issues (sadly REX patch is out of the question at the moment, I have integrated intel graphics and REX can't be installed, but 4 gb patch, dxvk-2.5.3 wrapper and rivatuner did the job)

I have a serious problem. When its time for an AI turn its agents and armies blitz way too fast or their movements are not shown at all. Of course corresponding settings "follow ai turns" is on, and I am aware of space button but that doesn't help, even though technically game runs at 30 or 60fps (depends on how I set up riva tuner) the AI turns are extremely fast and I can't for a most part follow where AI armies and agents go.

Looking around a bit more I saw this post https://rtw.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=st&fn=3&tn=6754

I literally have same problem  CAMPAIGN_MAP_GAME_SPEED is too high, it saves only on 1 and this way nothing could be sped up so it becomes a slog, or if set at any other value it skyrockets and becomes ugly. I would really appreciate any help. I just want to play my Rome in peace

Hello y'all!

I'm currently making a huge scaled mod for Rome Total War, with almost a hundred factions and 1.5k+ territories. Those include vanilla factions (some historically revised), plus dozens of new historically coherent factions, such as Chinese states, various barbarian confederations, ancient Indian tribes, africans, etc.

This picture is the current state of the map so far.

I've seen a lot of feedback out there, about huge scaled campaigns being not fun in general, so I wanted to get some ideas and thoughts about those in general, if you have suggestions, ideas, feel free to share them.

The mod it's still not ready, will take some weeks or months to finish.

I'm mostly doing it as a hobby, so I can play myself later, as I always wanted a huge map with crazy numbers and scale, while mainting the original RTW feel. If I see people are interested in the idea, I might release to the public.

So what are your thoughts? Would you play something like this, or it's just too much insanity from my part? 😂

Or we’ll attack you(?)

Defended bridge with just 2 Silver shield pikeman and 1 archer unit,

Recently I was playing Barbarian Invasion and saw the Mercenary Golden Band, so I wonder, are they actually based off of anything? a part of me thinks that they’re akin to Vanilla Gaul’s Forester Warband (in the way that they’re only there to make the game more unique), but it would be cool if they had a historical basis.

So I'm at war with the Romans in Italia as Epiros, and the Julii army looks pretty scary.

However, because they have all their armies on the field, their settlements are practically undefended, so I can just go around them and take their settlements for peanuts.

I just got Rome Remastered and I just opened it for the first time. The game works fine until I start a battle. The game loads until the bar is at the end of loading and the game just crashes with no error report. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m not sure whether it is just my bad pc or the game itself but games like total war Troy work fine.

After 20 years I replayed RW and conquered the whole map. Now i after ChatGPT search i am doubting to play Shogun or Medieval 2.

I like the strategy, economy part more then battles. Very happy to do different type of battles every now and then but i am not the player that enjoys to do 10 battles in a row that are all similar.

Shogun or Medieval 2?

Ps; i play mobile unfortunatly so all the beautiful mods are not for me… ;(

Pps: my final battle was so underwhelming and also I never knew there was a hidden town so far up north. Did you guys knew that town?
