Rome TW - Remastered

There was a QA session on the official TW discord and this video kind of summarizes what was talked there.

A lot of good stuff!
Hardcoded limits to factions and regions are going to be lifted.
Most improvements/new stuff Remastered is adding can be toggled off in the settings.
They have worked on AI and tried to improve it!
Although co-op campaigns are not in the game they are thinking about it cause a lot of people have asked it.

Why everyone bother about Europa Barbarorum? Can't you enjoy original game (which is better imho)?
I personally hate EB because it cuts most original units (including Romans in Lorica Segmentata and Greeks in Corinthian helm - really?) adds over 10 units of the same role per faction and is pseudo-historical accurate. Authors of the mod are declining the Celts hurling cut off heads at enemies, germanic women encouraging their men to fight harder, combat assassing etc. calling it "Fantasy units".
Well no, they are not fantasy at all. Apparently the authors are just more historical than actual history.

I have to say that this RTW Remastered announcement have made me nostalgic about the old pbm games that were ran in Throne Room. I wish it would be possible to get some people together and try a game once Remastered is released. Too bad Throne Room is ghost town these days

I was never a fan of normal RTW, way too many arcade units - mods were spectacular, I loved the creativity and the options presented.

Who was really?? Flaming pigs? Head hurlers? WTF??

But it did spawn many an excellent mod. I still play SPQR today.

A video of some of the most recent changes to the game:

Definitely a promising sign that Feral Interactive is being responsive to player comments, which is never a bad thing.

Hello all, long time no visit.

Steam uninstalled and downloaded my RTW Remastered. My save games have gone AWOL. Does anyone know a)are they compatible, b) where are they??
I've looked in all the usual little nooks and crannies steam game saves can be tucked away. Are they gone forever??

Not too bothered about the save games per se. It's just annoying, particularly as I need to beat the game again to unlock playable factions

Edit: I must have lost my login. I was here in 2005 maaaan :)

I'm not gonna play the Remaster until release of some mod which changes campaign map to look darker and grimmer like the original or better. I'm not able to play seeing this vomitable browser game style graphics.
Battle maps also look more colorful, even the Teutoburg Forest.

I liked the atmosphere in old version more. I don't regret buying the Remaster though. I'm waiting for Medieval 2 remaster and Warhammer 3 now.

You can change the map colors by going to the Settings and changing the Vibrancy slider. I have it set to 50%
Campaign map in the original looked really.. bland.
