I would like to give a shout out to JaceX who continued to build on Rome Retrofits factions mod with his Rome Expanded mod. This has Rome 2 factions, and gives both Rome and Carthage the Senate faction plus the three houses. For me its basically Rome Vanilla as it should have been remastered from the start. And for me, it has the vanilla map, which honestly I think makes the game more accessible. If I want a large Imperator Rome map, I´ll install that game instead. TW games were never designed with that scale and scope in mind which I think does maps show.

[@mullerreus145]

Rome retrofit is probably the best mod I’ve played for RTW remastered. It’s the best vanilla plus experience simply because the modders didn’t get carried away trying to create a new game. It’s basically Rome Total War perfected. You can unlock all the factions (some great campaigns as Athens, Syracuse, Judea etc to be had) and there’s a lot of nice tweaks that have no real bearing on gameplay but gives the start of the campaign a nice feel. The restraint of the modders is their biggest quality.

[@drewdavies3010]

If only the uiwas modded

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

My favourite is 77bc.

[@Imperial_Legacy]

I agree with you! Rome Retrofit is the perfect mod! It is simply Rome 2 in Rome 1 (Which is simply PERFECTION), and it feels finished. Very underrated mod!

Someone with Modding skills needs to port Viking Age Total War from Barbarian invasion. Is a really unique story time and could add in so much with what Rome remastered provides

I wish imperium surrectum mod would have a map campaign more like vanilla. I hate the 1800 settlement campaign. It’s massive with not many factions to make it alive.

The dev team is aware of that. Keep an eye to the submods when the latest version is stable, I am sure there will be something to find.

Hi - old player of Rome original here. Would really appreciate any advice. I'm looking to get Rome Remastered and return to this amazing game but want an updated experience. However it's been a while so maybe not something like RTR just yet. I'm most keen that the mod makes the battle ai a bit more challenging as recall this was an issue with the old game. A little more complexity would be good. Does Glory of Rome fit what I'm looking for? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@kleydo5840]

i would love to have a combination of Rome 2 with the map of imperium surrectum and the building system of rome 1 and divide et impera that would be the ultimate game for me

[@sorinturle4599]

I really wish to make it able to control 2 armies, just like in Rome 2. To be able as player to control yourself the reinforcements. Now that would be fun.

[@gewuerzkoenich1924]

I just want a mod that converts the UI back to the original 🥲

[@AnimeFan-dl4qd]

8:50 yeah, but England looks pretty empty with only one fraction. Playing as the Seleucids looks like a nightmare. Having so many regions right from the start means a lot of rebellions:D Still I wish there would be a ui mod which gives us the original Rome TW ui back.

[@NiskaMagnusson]

from my understanding we have to wait for them to expand upon the various tribes in the region in incremental updates, it'd be pretty boring to play there for now sure, but right now they are working on Illyria and it'd perfectly tell you WHY it's not out yet, all Illyrian factions appear to have unique units and style to them that doesn't exist even in Rome II, let alone Rome I, if you enjoy the Antigonid region that is easily the most fleshed out right now and is leagues bigger than anything I've played before.

[@celonoobas]

The huge map doesn't really work, along with scripted garrisons. it's never ending sieges and boring gameplay.

[@marckennethcabanero7467]

[@mootedtols4865]

If the UI is like this -- pass

[@ares106]

Almost all of these mods add a billion settlements which makes the game totally unplayable after 30-40 turns. It is so disappointing that so many modders are so obsessed with needlessly adding more and more settlements to the map for no real reason other that it's historical or look at my map it's bigger than your map. Nobody stops to think if the extra settlements add anything to the game play or that it turns game into a massive slog fest where you manage hundreds of cities and fight dozens of stacks per turn and every battle is a siege. Such a horrible experience.

[@charlesmiv3842]

So it seems like Total War fans are either mad that there isn't enough settlements, or mad that there are too many.

[@GaiusCaligula234]

RTW modder "try to make a map smaller than 45% of the actual world" challenge (literally impossible)

[@Killer-vi4ih]

Buy remaster to support Historical games. You don't gotta play it

[@jamesgordley5000]

Has it occurred to *anyone* to expand/fill the map with more detail than vanilla *without* having cities so close together that you’re not just siege-hopping? Seriously, some modders need to wake up to what’s actually fun to play, and make a reasonable compromise between detail and playability on a scaled up map.

[@brentgerchicoff8084]

Seriously though, why would I play this over modded Rome II?

[@jamesgordley5000]

Aside from the excessive cities placed too close together in these particular mods, pretty much *everyone* who has played TW back in the day would rather play this. Besides being more moddable, original Rome does virtually all the nice Total War things better than 2, and it’s not bloated with unnecessary stupid shit that adds nothing to the fun

[@notevenclown9304]

Lanjanes barbarian empires is by far the best mod on the remaster rn! also the Imperium surectum mod while it is truly cool! it has constant crashes that make the game unplayable, by turn 80 you will have more crashes than turns and nobody seems to mention this in their perfect reviews of the mod..! playing lanjanes beta version of the mod that came out a while ago and i haven't experienced a single crash so far.. so yeah mods are awesome but if they crash every two battles it sucks

[@jottXD]

These crashes are connected to the emergent factions and will be fixed in the next patch :)

[@notevenclown9304]

@@jottXD i don't care about the next patch bruh, i totally understand the mod is still in beta and the developers want to add 1000 more stuff and polish it, i care that everyone talks about surectum like its the mod of the gods all this time its out! and NOBODY seems to mention the mod crashes more often than Russian car drivers, advertisement is one thing but at least be fucking honest about the current state of the mod when you review it.

[@yukimurasanada5209]

no clue why Israel is not a faction in this game, vanilla or otherwise, they were a nation at the time since Greece is already around and recently destroyed since his generals carved up his lands but alexander did not topple them since he took a liking due to learning of prophecy in destroying Persia, I would love to play a total war game as Israel or the founders of Russia vs the many Mongolian kingdoms in the further east like in Age of Empires 4

[@sorelvio79]

Judea can be an emergent faction since the Maccabean revolt takes place in 167 BC and the game starts in 270 BC

[@themosticonicscenesinmovie8737]

Honestly I do not like when there is too many regions on the map. It's really boring when you conquering 800 cities. The mod I can even pay for is the mod of fight animations from Rome 2 to Remaster. Or I wish to plany on awesome graphics mod. I need something fresh, not just the new units or bigger map.

[@mullerreus145]

One of the biggest pitfalls in total war mods is modders adding hundreds of regions. It just makes it even easier for the player to steamroll unless you balance things which ends up bringing its own load of jank. Then of course you have the problem of siege after siege after siege after siege. So many great mods have problems like this, napoleon and empire suffer from having to deal with 70000 unit types of the exact same unit with different skins for example

[@rorschach1985ify]

The fight animations ruined melee combat and turned it into a glitchy sliding blob fest. Unless you could put in animations the same way Med 2 did them don't even bother.

[@_tartaros_9997]

armies don´t need generals to move on the map, every city can develope every building, battles with gravity and mass effect, no limitations for: buildings, regions ,religions, units and cultures.

[@matthewmerrill5869]

For me, they scratch different itches. Sometimes, I want to play DEI (the only way I play Rome II) for recruitment mechanics and larger/more detailed map. But there’s something special about armies not being attached to generals and having each settlement be its own standalone thing. It’s up to you to specialize a settlement, and to choose its garrison. And finally, because I think the Rome 1 army system is better. Those smaller skirmishes of 5 v 5 and 10 v 10 versus constant 20 v 20 battles feel different and overall add more variety. I could go on, but at the end of the day, it’s a matter of preference.

[@mullerreus145]
