Don’t get me wrong; great video of an even greater game. But seriously, the closed captions kept on saying imperium’s rectum. Anyways, after I wiped the soda and snot off of my phone’s Otterbox (and turned off the subtitles 😂), I was still very much entertained. Keep up the great work!! Lmfao 🤣😂😂😭🤣🤣😭🤣🤣

@@markcorrigan3930 No, they're one-legged pikemen. They don't hop that well, hence "hop-lites".

[@AndysTake]

Indeed, it’s glorious!

[@thinkwithurdipstick]

I wish they had taken the time to fix the ai (pathfinding/responsiveness) when they remastered the game, because then this would be absolutely perfect. I swear they somehow made it worse in the remaster

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

They are excellent, I repeat myself but these guys do an extraordinary job out of their passion, which is the main motor, vs the producers who just do it for money and we see the mediocre result: less than 100 regions from Hispania to Mesopotamia, Iran and Transoxiana and northwest India are completely absent

[@celtiberian]

CA should hire all this guys to make Rome 3, seriously.

[@Metaldude1945]

See, I wouldn't mind of they reduced the visuals on the campaign map if it meant there were a lot more settlements and all the other aspects are more in depth. In my opinion, it always felt silly that you could conquer an entire country by sometimes just occupying one city. I'd much rather see them toning down the campaign map visuals and made it more intriguing gameplay wise. I think I speak for a lot of people if the perfect strategy game would be the campaign map and mechanics of a paradox game combined with the battles of Total War.

[@AndysTake]

And that’s exactly what they’re doing, or rather, bringing even more beautiful visuals AND the massive amount of cities!

[@LEFT4GABEN]

That would Genuinely be the greatest representation and cost effective safe practice of Statecraft and Generalship! Always have dreamt of this. I am definitely taking note of your comment for the future!

[@HansWurst1569]

[@AndysTake]

Well, it’s all thanks to the modders :) and the opening up of the engine done by the devs I guess!

[@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS]

@@AndysTake True enough, it was just prior to this I couldn't have seen myself purchasing the remaster as.. well frankly it didn't seem worth the price tag, as pretty as it is (no denying that). However now that the mod scene seems to be properly taking hold with it and they seem to have far, far fewer restrictions than is normally associated with modding TW games. I feel I am going to have to just to be able to try whatever comes out for it. This mod in of itself looks absolutely lush and I for one and loving the greatly expanded map and regions. That was one of the few detriments to R:TW imo, the world felt too small for what it was trying to represent. Anyway dude, also wanted to say that I'd not seen any of your content before, but I'll be sure to sub as you seem to be really on the ball and as I don't really personally have the time to hoover through near enough every mod being made ever as I did as a teen, being alerted to them through channels like yours is a total boon. Hope you're doing well dude, really appreciate your bringing this to my attention!

[@SuperChoronzon]

Damn straight, lol, and there's apparently a medieval mod for it too, Chivalry, from what I've read here in the comments. Dunno about you bud, but I think I'll wait till it's on sale... ;o)

[@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS]

@@SuperChoronzon Oh I'll undeniably wait for a sale as I wouldn't be able to afford to purchase it otherwise, the benefits of being a full time carer for a parent is you get virtually no support from the Government (speaking about the UK here), that is despite saving them tens of thousands of pounds a year on social care. Like I get less money in a week than an average care worker receives in less than a day. Still I didn't start doing it for money, forgive my moaning, let's just say that the cost of living crisis is really, really, REALLY starting to become an issue. So who knows I may not have to worry about purchasing it the next time it goes on sale as I could well be homeless by then. Anyways, I really didn't mean to divert this into a sob story, very cool to hear there's a Medieval mod in development for it, I will be sure to check that out.

[@SuperChoronzon]

@@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS Yeah, £25,(I'm UK too), doesn't buy much in the way of groceries, so no need to apologise bud, and I'm really sorry to hear about your circumstances. It sickens me, what tptb are doing to people, as imo all this BS is part of a bigger plan. Now it's me who's gonna apologise for making this political, sorry... If it's any consolation tho', it doesn't look like I'll be purchasing it either as I'm still running win7, and min-spec is Win10, so I'll just need to make do with the original too, lol Anyways, stay safe & take care bud, lool it just clicked with me where I knew "VALIS" from, nice one ;o)

[@finesthour7068]

Now I can wage a real war against Carthage over dominion of Sicily. And imagine launching the Gallic Wars with this map? Where you can spend days of gameplay on just 1 campaign.

[@nutyyyy]

Its beautiful and I want it now... I know people will say its way too many regions but I don't care. I love the added challenge of taking even parts of the map. I especially love it because I always had the idea of a future Rome or Medieval Total War being on the same scale as the Kingdoms campaigns but on a full map.

[@AndysTake]

Exactly, me too! Too many regions? NEVER!

I look forward to the mod coming out and to hours of enjoyment, so thanks again for all your efforts on this.

[@AndysTake]

That’s a massive compliment, thank you so much! Owned the Gold Edition on disk myself, was absolutely breathtaking. And “invest” is a good word indeed, as this is truly a project worth following.

Well, time to go back to the roots. Just finished Rome campaign in DEI, seems Seleucid campaign is born for this mod. Great video and thanks for recommending! 👌🏻🔥

[@mathewcammarota7114]

A multiplayer campaign mode in this would be the peak of the total war experience. I always preferred the OG army system in RTw over the field army/garrison system in Rome 2. With all these new settlements and freely being able to raise army’s, working with another player would be more satisfying

[@CommieRaptor]

The only thing I really didn't like in TW Rome II is that you have just few cities in a large region, which in real history had dozens of them. Many historically famous cities, such as Miletus, Corinthus, Byzantium and other are missing in that game, and most of cites which you already have on the strategic map, are incomparable with their real prototypes and look like small towns or even villages. Imagine, how would look Rome II, if we would have several times more cities on map, and most of them would have their own unique appearance

[@teemuvesala9575]

Rome II battles were garbage. Rome I is way better in that regard. Formations actually hold, heavy infantry units will actually push light infantry units back when they clash. Rome II battles were just mob fights with no strategy involved. Units get better by toggling moronic special ability buttons which is just dumb. In Rome 1 you don't have that nonsense, and its more down to you outplaying your opponent on the field rather than timing special abilities correctly.

[@reav3rtm]

@@teemuvesala9575 Medieval II is the TotalWar pinnacle when it comes to unit movement, formations, animations even. Apart from bugs with navigation. Rome 1 still has this wonky walking animation and cavalry on the rails feel.

Welcome home, brother ;)

[@brobiewankenobi9492]

this is what is getting me to download again. i had preordered it. played it when it came out and it was disappointing to say the least. Now that there are good mods i have reason to download.

[@87PLS]

That campaign map truly is a thing of beauty, I just wish this was a mod for Rome 2 over Rome remastered, I’ve always favoured the bigger more localised maps, such as Hannibal at the gates, rise of the republic or Caesar in Gaul, over the grand campaign, as I just don’t think it’s very realistic to be able to invade and occupy an area the size of italy in the space of just a couple of turns by taking 6 or 7 badly defended settlements. This might actually give me a reason to play Rome remastered which I haven’t really played again since about a week after it first released.

[@dummythicc6660]

what nooo, rome 1 is so many times better then rome 2

[@87PLS]

@@dummythicc6660 I loved Rome 1 when it first came out, it was one of the greatest games of all time and it was such a huge leap forward from medieval one, I remember spending hundreds on a new gaming pc just so I could play it on decent graphic settings and huge unit scale, and in some ways it is better than Rome 2 but in others it just doesn’t stand up in 2022. On balance I prefer Rome 2 because it’s more historically accurate, better graphics, I like naval battles, joint naval/army port city assaults and battles, etc. I understand why some people prefer Rome 1 though and maybe if they’d have fixed some of the issues in Rome remastered, like the terrible path finding, I’d still be playing Rome 1 as well.

[@dummythicc6660]

@@87PLS I discovered the total war series over two years ago now, and my first game was rome 1, its wonderful, i have 600 hours in it now and nowi have most of the series aswell. But i hate the general army system and automatic garrisons so so so much, they ruin the newer games in my opinion, a full stack will always beat a garrison, and a city with an army will always beat an attacking army, if you are needed two places, you must choose and let the other burn. After many hours in many of the games, empire is probably my favourite though, followed by rome 1, medieval 2, warhammer 3 and three kingdoms.

[@87PLS]

@@dummythicc6660 I do agree that is definitely a problem with Rome 2. There’s nothing you can really do against even half a stack with those basic 6 unit garrisons, when 5 of your 6 units are completely useless (normally 1 good unit, 1 cheap spearmen that can’t hold against anything for more than a minute, 2 mob which are so useless that you might as well not even bother with them and 2 cheap skirmishers or slingers which would actually be useful if you had enough units to pin the enemy down and get around their flanks, but you don’t so they’re also useless). I used to use a mod that removed mob and doubled the garrisons sizes of cities, which would really help with that problem, but unfortunately it stopped working with the last big updates a few years ago. Where as in Rome 1, I like how even some cheap peasants can be useful if you can flood and surround enemy units and cause a mass route.

Playing Lusitani and taking the Iberian peninsula felt like a complete game just by itself. Loving it.

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

"Playing Lusitani and taking the Iberian peninsula felt like a complete game just by itself." As it should be. I don't like playing a barbarian faction in the same imperialistic way i play Rome, and paint the map. I much rather to play defensive and stick to a small portion of the map.

It would be great if the old map is also maintain in some way, sometimes you just want to play a short campaing, however the fact that I could do a hystorical accurate camping of sicily or a syrian war just gives me a buzz! It's truly a awesome job.

[@Libertarianmobius1]

I think the greatest improvement that Total War games will have will be the introduction A.I analysis of realistic battle combat in the details of the soldiers. If we look at the mechanics of the soldiers in combat in the battlefield they look artificial and dumb. With A.I tech of analysis of real life combat of 100 vs 100 soldiers in hand to hand fighting with a birds eye view camera this will completely change the immersion aspect. This step can be expanded into the campaign storyline, enemy A.I behavior, settlement design and interaction, etc.. There's massive potential for A.I tech to improved the authenticity and immersion of games in a revolutionary way and its mind boggling. The future is amazing.

[@gastonrelanez3724]

CA AI is insanely stupid

[@jmk3723]

I hope the naval combat hasn’t been removed with this mod (though I think it has with channel crossings) as I like to play Mediterranean countries and building up a strong navy to funnel enemy troops through tight mountain corridors or forests… or to just simply conquer a country like Italy and then sink any approaching enemies while I deal with Greece.

i think a lot of people talented people worked on this in their spare time. Or even full time. Depending on their situation. A big company like CA has multiple projects. have you looked at WH3 immortal empires? that is akin or even better than this of course. Still this mod deserves praise and is amazing. But developing a game costs time. and if it is your work it is also money.

Rome Remastered itself is a cashgrab from a shitty company and I won't be buying it anyway. However as I'm pretty sure it's compiled in 64 bit mode now, it also allows them to port over a ton of things without limits. Many of these things were already there before in the mod but you're just seeing it for the first time, and also the mod is many times better than anything TW ever made themselves.

[@RocketHarry865]

I think they need to make it so that major rivers like the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, Danube, Rhine, Deniper, Don and the Volga are navigable so you can sail ships up them. People of the ancient world depended heavily on these waterways wherever they able to use them for both trade and mass transportation. I would also love to see the Canal of the Pharaohs in Egypt allowing connection between the Nile and the Red Sea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_of_the_Pharaohs#/media/File:Canal_of_the_Pharaohs_Map-en.svg

Damn this look incredible. I wonder how they handle the distance to capital squalor penalty lol

[@patricklioneljonson2747]

Wish Napoleon Total War got a overhaul like this, scale like any other. I mean, the battles during the Napoleonic time period were the biggest in scale and global before any of the World Wars.

[@Cody-5501]

Is it even legal that this mod is free?

[@troydodson9641]

By far my favorite mods are those that make taking an area a campaign in itself. DEI makes that border town you want a real endeavor. RS makes Sicily what it was historically, battle ground for regional supremacy between 2 super powers. Poor Syracuse caught in the middle. I actually like how finances are handled, armies are expensive, there to defend lucrative places, take a prize, or punish the enemy for random blockade on my port for tye 10th time. Burn Epiros to the ground

[@zzman305]

This has the potential to be one of the greatest total war mods of all time...

[@Ugapiku]

They also need to add China, India and Mongolian Steppes into the map!

[@jassyss8246]

my God. this is beautiful historical mod!

[@imperatorromanorum_official]

Great mod indeed. Honestly, though I would prefer fewer settlements and a more aesthetic map. But that's me.

[@domingosneto6761]

that's exactly the reason why we need M2TW remastered!

THis looks amazing!!! Only crap! Do you know when this will be released? Relatively soon I hope :/.

[@Tarnholm]

30th of September

[@Beef1188]

WTF? Have those maniacs LOST THEIR MINDS? ... I love it.

[@Trexmaster12]

I kind of want this mod to work overlayed with the original Mundus Magnus layout (keeping the Roman families + senate), allotting the proper provinces to the original factions per how many there are in Imperium Surrectum, and keeping the original units to the original factions (the new factions being an exception, of course).

[@Termosugus]

The work made to do this mod is really impressive. The only way It could have impressed me more is if it were made for TW: Attila, which is my favourite TW.

[@pepperVenge]

Now I have to get this game..

[@AndysTake]

I’ve heard others say the same ;)

[@LuCa8_]

Ngl imperium surrectum is very fun and I love the unit rosters and other things but i think having a map this big will just be a slog and it’s not like the original campaign was necessarily fast. Getting a campaign actually done with bê like a liability on your life Lmao. Still very cool but I don’t know if it needed ya know 900+ settlements. And I was hoping for a Arab kingdom or nation but that’s alright.

[@jaywerner8415]

WOOOOOOOOOOW, that unit detail, and its so colorful too. SHAME CA! SHAME! (look i know its Rome 1 but, this puts them to SHAME!)

[@AndysTake]

I KNOW!! :D

[@jaywerner8415]

@@AndysTake Like, i GET that CA assigns each faction a "color" even in modern games, but for GOD SAKE add some LAYERS! Like Ogres or onions, a good uniform has layers.

[@Trident121]

Yes! This looks great

[@Jack70805]

I'm very grateful to the people that have created a mode like this. I hope they make it even greater than this but just thinking about conquering more than 1000 city is exiting me. but I hope they add a function so that you can gather 40 units in one army too.

[@korealis0016]

oh man i cant wait to play this

[@georgimihalkov9678]

This is absolutely huge!

[@AndysTake]

IT IS!

[@Mosca_Tube]

Great vid bro cheers from RTR IS team

[@chris99103]

The map was only possible cause CA must have removed the region cap of 199 from Rome Total War. This was hardcoded into the exe and could not be circumvented by any means if I recall correctly.

[@mrnygren2]

They removed the limit from the new Remastered version, not from old Rome.

[@terrencesauve]

RE: Unit collision Has the engine in the remastered version was kept, or at least, the mecanics for collision was transfered from the old game to the remastered version? Thanks!

[@TheSegert]

holy crap this is like a brand new game....
