Rome TW - Remastered

**Xantan** · 06-16-2021, 14:41

So with regards to the limits, it's a matter of the engine limits, which has to be recompiled and reworked to make it feasible. It depends if Feral now will do all of the effort to raise it as high as possible.

255 is the region limit I think, maybe we can have 350-400?

IMO if the sales are that bad they should concentrate what will presumably be limited support on stuff like pathfinding that should be a bit smaller tasks & there are known code improvements from later games they could backport.
Also on tools to assist modders with porting from original version.

Yeah I think priority #1 and 2 should be the pathfinding and modding support. The remaster wont survive without those two things sadly.

Well, RIP a whole heap of limits & limitations

I've only ever done the most trivial level of modding but there are a lot of things here that seem extremely awesomely modder friendly if any mods actually are developed to make proper use of them.

Wow!!! That's a lot of fixes. Nice level of support.

It has unlocked a lot of features, which is great overall, but it's up to modders to make use of them so this will take some time.

I do wish this was the case 17 years ago when the game was launched...

I am making a plugin that understands Rome remastered files and coan provide useful features, such as:

Syntax highlighting
Syntax error marking
Go to definition / find usages of items (e.g. find all usages of a unit)
Autocompletion (e.g after require resource, provide a list all all resources)
Mass rename related items
Code folding
Various sanity checks
etch.

A preview of my work is here:

This is a call for people to help, mainly with giving me info about how things are meant to work, mod-wise, so I know what to make the plugin able to do.

When RTW was released... it got a lot of flak even here on TW Org.

Well I love @Aymar de Bois Mauri 's signature, while he was last seen in 2013. The war in Ukraine was the thing right then already and it's nice coincidence I've met his post in these times.

I may be 1 year late since the last post but I would like to know if Rome Remaster sold any well in those 2 years that it has been out? Do you think the success was enough to justify more Total War remasters into the future?

Honestly, this is a good question. And one that won't be answered any time soon.

I think they banked on a good amount of nostalgia, and it worked, because RTW is the entry point in the series for a lot of players, but the mobile UI-like remaster did not sit well with many people. It took away from the original feeling of the RTW launched in 2004. Time will tell on this but I expect no more remasters any time soon.

RTR: Imperium Surrectum version 0.60 is out

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2487698001
Over 1800 regions (yes, actually that many!)
Over 50 playable factions & Greek/Macedonian/Thracian units reworked to max out the unit variation abilities of the engine.
The units look amazing

at least on par with Rome2 quality

Red_Zed youtube acct has been doing some awesome preview stuff (faction unit previews, developer interviews, feature guides etc), well worth taking a squizz at some of them if you haven't actually got the game

I bought the Remaster somewhere during RTR:IS 0.5 release on the basis of what I was seeing.
Actually haven't played the campaign yet, just some custom battles & map exploration because I'm still slowly working through that RTRVII Antigonid campaign.
I think you need to go into it just planning on dominating a limited area for your faction & effectively forget about the majority of the map.

BTW, RTR VII is totally undervalued.
Its been an amazing campaign that forced me into some fascinating historical parallels
Here is what it looks like in 4k
