Does anyone like RTW anymore

Was playing 1.0 again a few days ago, upgraded to 1.5 last night, currently attempting to hold Sicily and take out carthage. Stupid people keep revolting in Sicily.

Garrisons are 4 units of town watch, with a small standing army (4-6 units) for each area. (so one on the mainland soon, one on Sicily and another in carthage when I take it)

I see the post above and fear that this site has been taken over by an evil spam monkey, such a shame. I remember this site in its glory days, there was always something useful going on. Now it's a ghost town

Its because the vast majority of people who play RTW play mods. Actually that part of teh forums has very many viewings and it is very much alive. I dont think that many people would disagree that the vanilla game isn't as good as mods are.

You can't really disagree with that.

I do like vanilla, but thats because I played it for at least a year before I found mods, and I love the look of the Hastati etc roman troops. The entire era.

Currently the Scipii have abandoned Rome and are in Britan. We own the isles, I'm upgrading and building my army.

2 Generals, 4 Hastati, 4 Principles, 4 Triarii, 2 Roman Archers, 4 Legionary Cavalry.

Sometimes 4 Archers, 2 cav.

I will never stop playing this game, this game attaches to you in a very memorable way......I just cannot uninstall this game....

Im back playing it after a long time and loving it again. XGM is the best mod I have played.

I still play the game occasionaly. I find blitzing the vanilla map using only one type of soldier to be quite fun. However the mods really bring it alive for me. Europa Barbarorum is a great historical that I play quite a bit of. I also like to play some of the Rome: Total Realism mod sets which expand on a specific area such as Iberia or Italy and Africa for example.
