Some say that the mod is overwhelmimg, but I think it is amazing. When you go to war, you actually have to plan out your campaign, and you have an actual campaign. The first war with Carthage was an apocalyptic struggle over Sicily. An 13 year war that left tens of thousands dead.

Is the original Rome (1 and Remastered) more flexible (to mod) ? I haven't seen that in Rome 2 or attila total war. Thats why I prefer to play Remastered, for the extended maps.

[@Red_Zed]

Yes from what i understand from talking to the mod team (I’m not a modder) the modding restrictions have been removed as much as possible in remastered :)

[@tarquimSuperbus]

I wouldn't mind seeing some unique features to make sure taking settlements doesn't get repetitive, considering how many there are. For example maybe settlements of a certain level aren't allowed walls, or maybe taking the largest/strongest city of a small region may cause smaller nearby settlements to join you without a fight depending on their garrison, public order, or corruption levels

[@madwellmusic8995]

Possibly a resurface of the surrender, or negotiate with a consultant. Many options to play off that. Lime armies led by family members can engage in unique diplomacy as an actual agent.

[@andro564]

Came here to say this. After you defeat a big neighbour, the small cities should flock to you. It would make winning the battle feel much more impactful!

Ideas like this have been a back and forth debate for some time now. In practice however with the amount of nations it would be impractical and the amount of scripts needed would slow up the game, so for now its classic conquest. However like I said in the video it really isnt a chore as generally you'll fight more field battles because the AI leaves cities so just auto resolving your stack vs 1 unit doesnt damage you much at all. I think its one of those things where it seems overwhelming at first but as soon as you play you'll realise its so fun.

​@@sedative71honestly makes loads of sense to me. Modders aren't constrained by as near as many limitations as game devs

[@torimaudal9699]

​@@sedative71The developers are restrained a lot more than you seem to give them credit for, primarily by a time and cost constraint. They have to have a "finished" game out by a certain date. They need to find a sweet spot for when something is deemed "good enough", and move on to the next part. Modders are mostly restricted by self-imposed restrictions, while developers have team leaders, managers, and more importantly, publishers who need certain stuff done by certain dates (missing these could also make other parts of the team unable to continue, worst case). Spending salaries on researchers for long periods of times isn't always cost-effective for the developers, if they're at a point they deem "good enough". Sales will determine if said "good enoughs" and "finished" are indeed up to a standard we expect, and judging by the TW-series, it mostly is. Not due to historical accuracy, but gameplay. Not sure there's numbers for how many people play with mods, but I expect it's the minority, and that most people who play R:TW vanilla wouldn't even know (or care) about the historical inaccuracy of Egypts roster, for example. Though that specific example could indeed be deemed as "not good enough", how many would refuse to buy the game because of it? Would it hurt the sales at all? That isn't to say that you're incorrect in saying that CA, Paradox and probably Bethesda knows they can lean on the modding community to boost their sales, which is why they also spend some time making sure the games are easily moddable and mod-accessible (at least Paradox does this actively). I doubt, however, that any of them actively lean on the modding community "fixing" their games. After all, DLCs are all the rage...

[@jasonkidd5489]

​​@@sedative71Developers are constrained by a lot of things. Like the above comment said, mostly they have to choose cost-effective decision for a lot of things. And also one of the biggest factor aswell is game maintenance fee, Total War franchise doesn't make money like online games did. Devs also can't just put their whole life onto one game, they jump from project to project. This where modding community jump in. Also I'm pretty sure game company only pay devs until game is released or 1 year after that. Then they will start cutting cost by only assigning few people to maintain and update the game.

[@paulb3482]

Super exciting! Wish there was a mechanic of auto surrender if a garrison only has one or two units in it (versus like a full stack), kind of like real life theyd see the army coming and most likely give up because one unit of javelins has no chance... No idea if that is possible but that would reduce the potential siege fest, but I do agree with you that auto resolving those small battles won't make it that bad, especially with the new AI changes to make it so they try to sally out or defend.

[@madwellmusic8995]

Generals should be able to use diplomacy, towns without a governor have a higher percentage of yielding, branching off authority of the faction leader.

[@Red_Zed]

Hey paul, thanks for your comment bro! This idea has been a back and forth debate for some time, but we found that it would most likely be impractical given the limitations of the engine. Its a 20 year old engine after all even if it is remastered. It would need lots of scripts and with the amount of nations on the map with varying sizes be extremely hard to balance. But yeah like you say, once you play the map you can just auto resolve those small sieges because you generally will destroy the AIs armies in field battles allowing you to take their cities easily because they're normally out trying to find battles to fight :)

[@paulb3482]

@@Red_Zed Thanks man, yeah I figured that there would be engine limitations, I was thinking myself at the time but the amazing work that the mod team has done to transform the base RTRR to what it is now in 0.6 is insane with the given engine too. I'm extremely interested to see how this new AI change plays out when it gets released in October. I actually really LIKE siege battles, but not when I'm at an overwhelming advantage. I'm happy to play a siege where its two full stacks fighting against each other is super fun. Attacking from different angles, using a combination of artillery and siege engines... But I don't enjoy playing when I have a full stack and fighting against 3 javelins and a hoplite. Because then it becomes, siege towers to the walls--)set them to attack square---)3x speed. And I don't wanna autoresolve some medium sieges (like 5-7 units) because i'll end up losing like 500 men compared to the 50 i'd use if I was in charge. Wish the mod team allowed donations, the countless hours put in and yielding such great results is incredible.

[@paulb3482]

@@madwellmusic8995 Well "authority" only exists in medieval two, maybe it can go off influence instead... But I like that idea a bunch. I mean you could also just send a diplomat with the army because I don't know if the engine would allow generals to do diplomacy.

I absolutely love the incredible dedication that has gone into this, however there may be such a thing as too much. It's going to take 4 hours for a single turn as some factions if you actually want to manage and balance everything.

[@Red_Zed]

Play a small faction then, there’s plenty of factions with 1 to 5 starting regions. Once you play it as well you realise it’s all about regional conquests so a campaign can be Epirus into Greek Hegemon and it’s really satisfying doing that. You’ll maybe only conquer 80 regions in doing so and that’s less than a WC in vanilla. So the only real factions where turns will take a long time is the Seleucids and Ptolemies. And in these cases it’s probably 30 mins first turn and then 10 minutes a turn after that :)

[@alexandrepois]

So... Campaign management is my favorite part of Total War games, specifically Rome... However... 1719 settlements sound mentally exhausting to a perfectionist like myself. I will probably still play it, but I think it is impossible to finish it without getting frustrated at the sorting of public order, population number, construction queues, tax levels, army queues and army count, just to name a few things... I know that at the core of the territory you start with/conquer, things will even out fast and a lot can be ignored eventually... But Geezus, isn't 1719 Settlements it a bit too much for the UI?? So I'm wondering if that will ever be addressed because to use the current UI system in such a large scope and ambitious map is like using parts of an old 1950s car to drive a modern car... It may be possible to set up, tune it, and modify it enough to be usable, but God damn will it be tiresome and super clunky after a while when you need to roll up the window with a lever for the third time while driving, to steer without ABS or to try to shift gears that require super human strength to engage... Oh, and all the while, the driving just gets harder and harder (more and more things to control and manage), but the all the rest stays the same and there is no incentive for you to keep driving long distances... eventually, you can't even check the fuel meter without putting on special sunglasses because the dashboard will start to reflect the sunlight into your eyes or something crazy, you know? tldr: sounds amazing, will probably play the mod until I get so incredibly frustrated at how clunky everything is, that after 100 hours, I will uninstall and won't play it for another year until version 0.7 comes out.

[@Red_Zed]

You can always stick them on AI management if you want. From my seleucid campaign I've got 172 settlements currently and I've not found it a chore at all, I love the campaign management aspect. Can understand if someone doesn't enjoy it as much tho. I just use the list screen and you can order it however you want, PO, Income etc Also its likely you'll be doing regional conquests and taking areas at a time rather than conquering the whole map so it'll be a long long while before you get to a massive numcer of settlements :)

The new factions would be Maurya (India), Saba/Sabaeans (Arabia) and Kush (Nubia). I would imagine. Not sure what the fourth one is though. At first I was thinking maybe the Kingdom of Aksum (Ethiopia), but the time period is a bit too early for that particular kingdom. Someone else enlighten me as to who the fourth could be? Anyway, this map is utterly insane. Haha. It was already crazy before, but now it's on an unprecedented scale, truly. I really like the new island settlements that are everywhere, and appreciate that even small factions can start with at least a few cities now, making their start not quite as unforgiving. I do think it's a bit overboard in a few places though, like that stretch of southern Anatolian coastline with like 6 or 7 Ptolemaic cities right next to each other. Not sure how fun that would be gameplay-wise. Also not huge on the campaign map textures, especially those grainy/pixelated shorelines, but that was an issue I had previously as well. Anyway, this is just looking absolutely colossal now. Very impressive in scope. Hats off to the mod team for sure.

[@Red_Zed]

Good guesses ;) The settlements like I said are based on historical data so areas with a lot are areas that did have a lot at the time. But you should be OK, in that region the Ptolemies will likely crumble if you can take out their recruitment hubs :)

Regarding the map, it's hella beautiful. Regarding it's accuracy, well, North Africa was heavily farmed. Many areas in Numidia and Mauretania were forested and other areas were closer to grasslands than drylands or deserts. Maybe forests are a bit curved in Europe overall, but it doesn't look bad at all. Maybe you could use forests to distinct Germania, Belgica and Pannonia from Mediterranean and Gallic regions instead of doing a very hard change for nitpicky historical accuracy. Shores are wonderful, you could even add very small rivers just for aesthetics instead of pushing so hard for it since you clearly have the most important ones already.

​@@Red_Zed "Majority of people" are casuals. Which is not a "bad" thing in on it self, but you have to take their "feedback" with huge grain of salt. Majority of people do not read descriptions, do not test stuff and totally lack any kind of methodical thinking for overcoming challenges... instead they go "iT iS hArD"/"iT iS nOt fUn" BS... Main tip: Just focus on the specing where to go for trade and where to go for internal income such as mines/farms etc. How to manipulate public order in for squeezing money temporarily in time of need. How to grow a major city and moving population from it to the large cities while building the major one up - growth is % based so the gains are larger in the single major city that has bigger base than from multiple smaller ones... I am playing TW for 15+ years so "difficulty" is relative thing for me, but the early game is EXACTLY what TW needed: anti-steamrolling and I am glad dev team aims for that...

[@Sigma_man_88]

Very cool mod, but there is also a drawback, why didn't they make the resolution of the units in 1080p -??? it would be even cooler and the units would look even more realistic, for example, a sub mob on high graphic units, who would have a powerful computer pulling this sub mod.

[@georgimihalkov9678]

They're currently remaking all the units. So far only the Greek units have been remade

[@Red_Zed]

[@ian2372]

The things that scare me about this mod is how in the hell would you manage all this? How would you even play as seleucids or carthage?

[@Red_Zed]

Easy for Carthage. You can use auto manage if you want but there’s plenty of small nations at the start, where you’ll likely have a campaign that’s just the same as a WC in vanilla (maybe getting 100 settlements) so it really isn’t that much different to vanilla management for most of the nations :)

[@anathardayaldar]

omg the micromanagement. Now you have no choice but to enable city automanagement. But that means they make units and buildings you wish they didn't.

Have you been able to add more custom city maps? And how far up the Danube can you navigate?

No because of pathing issues, I think the celts still have their hill forts however and a lot of the rebel settlements are actually bigger on the battle map than what they are on the campaign map. I don’t believe the Danube is navigable atm

[@alexkudzin4980]

@@Red_Zed ah, the A.I. pathing issues really limit the realism of settlements… And the need to check the settlements limits how many can be made… But is there a reason, aside from creating & testing, that prevents having multiple city maps per faction?

[@alexkudzin4980]

@@Red_Zed well it’s great that the Nile is navigable and you can go to the Red Sea!

[@Red_Zed]

Ye the path finding is a bit of an issue with engine. No not really anything stopping that I don’t think, but they don’t have an experienced settlement builder on the team atm/ ones that can are all busy doing other things, so if you know anyone that could help that would defo be amazing 😊

[@Theplaymaker1271]

They need to have a feature in which citys can simply swear loyalty to you and pay you taxes and give you soldiers while remaining "independent" if you win major battles against their owning factions. The prospect of having to besiege and take over every single city seems beyond exhausting and not really necessary considering how much of history actually happened. Its not like the Romans or Alexander the great or the persians individually seiged every single city they controlled; often they just beat the prevailing power and then that city just was like "yea... We'll just join you now" and then that was it

[@Red_Zed]

I address this in the video mate, I personally don’t see it as a chore, and when you think about it if you’re going to take over Greece you might end up with 90 or so regions that’s only the same as a WC in vanilla, so at that point you’ve done a campaign if you want! I think it’s a different mindset, don’t think you’ll be doing 1700 sieges you’ll still do just the same as vanilla if you want, but for everyone who wants to they can continue on from then and conquer even more. Unfortunately the scripting option would just not work with the engine, and it would be very messy from a gameplay perspective

[@anheuserbusch65]

My biggest concern is not the sieges, but the management of settlements. In the current 0.5 I tried to have Automanage running, but I noticed that once I save & exit, and come back the setting for Automanage (Financial, growth, military, etc.) changed automatically for almost every city. And with 100+ settlements in my empire it becomes such a chore. Is there anything being done to either fix the Automanage or to ease the burden of management?

[@Red_Zed]

I’m not sure about the automanage thing as I manuallly manage everything, 100 settlements is a vanilla WC so I’d say start as a small nation, but it might be worth asking about automanage on the discord as it might be a bug, weird how it will turn off?

@@Tarnholm This was by no means a serious critique of settlement placing decisions, but a tongue-in-cheek lamentation of my country's inconsequentiality. I am a student of history and am well aware of the Finland's extremely scarce population & peripheral status at the time. Estonia having two settlements raises eyebrows though, their situation does not differ from ours that much. Do those speculations of Pytheas' _Ultima Thule_ being Saaremaa Island and its Kaali meteorite crater have some part in this? The question is purely of academical interest.

I think this is really cool and can make campaigns really in depth but at the same time I feel like this’ll make the campaign experience feel like a drag and unfinished even though you’ve conquered over a 100 settlements. So in this sense I don’t think bigger means better

[@Red_Zed]

I think it’s just a change of mindset mate, you’re not setting out to conquer the whole map (although some people will) you’re conquering a region like Greece, then looking outwards. It really makes the gameplay so much more strategic and tactical especially in those heavily populated regions like Greece and Anatolia 😁

I don't think the map needed extra provinces, old map had plenty. Adapting more features from the vanilla version of Roma Surrectum would have given it some much needed extra depth. I'd rather put extra effort into customizing a few settlements, rather than buying the same building 30 times just in my starting settlements. Also, maybe it's just me but the new texture looks deep fried, especially the hills and mountains look bad.

[@Red_Zed]

Yes early game you have to play them out, I’m talking about when you’re stronger.
