I used to play rome total realism but this mod I already like better, but I haven't played for at least a year of RTW or any of its mods.

I'm pretty new now and forgot most of the techniques, so what would a good starting tribe/race or whatever be? I was thinking of starting off as Pahlava, but wasn't sure.

Thanks :)

Thanks :)I'm totally biased so I say play as Arche Seleukeia you start with an over extended empire with provinces that are underdeveloped and rebellious no army and your surrounded by enemies one of which (Ptolemaioi) usually becomes the dominate economy of the game.

You should also know that a new version is coming out soon that has a lot of added content and bug fixes called 0.8 this will be for the 1.5 version of RTW a lot of people are waiting on this before starting a campaign but its up to you if thats what you want to do as well.

I'm sorry for your feelings of anguish over the absence of 0.8, but please be reminded that the EB team feel just as anxious as you for not only do we feel an obligation to release this as soon as possible (we know how long you have had to wait) but we also cannot wait to see 0.8 in all its glory. But we really are not able to give a release date at all for fear of further causing our fans anguish. It is not months away, that is for sure (unless of course a particularly nasty incident causes a problem with the implementation of the new MIC and government stuff - but if so you will know when we do). Days is not going to happen, but we are coming close. Which leaves weeks, but I could not ascribe numbers to that. Please be paitent and do not worry. Also do not put so much faith into 0.8 it still is only a beta and while being much closer to a full release than 0.7.4 it will be rather lacking in certain areas, which we will certainly rectify in later patches.

Regards,

Foot

10 yen says its coming out for christmas.

When it's done. I mean, it might take us only 1 more month, but it also might take us even 6 more months.

We don't know yet.

But one thing is for sure: We are on the right path. :2thumbsup:

Well at least you guys give a reasonable time period( I heard only 1 month or less in another thread)
RTR only said "when it is done" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

They haven't said anything at all about it. No screenshots , no previews not even a leakage in a random thread.
I got sick of that a long time ago.

We really aren't giving time estimates though. It very well could be a month, but if we have problems it could be more for sure. We aren't trying to make this our final release or anything though - if we keep having problems there's always the option of releasing another step on the way to 1.0 slightly less than 0.8. Who knows...
