Fall of Rome - Total War

Nice work, this will be a significant improvement! When approaching the credits, be sure that NodachiSam is given credit for creating the new map (with Roman province names).

I've over-hauled everything.

I found a number of units' stats were unbalanced. The ship stats in particular are just one example. The same goes for a number of Roman units.

But it still won't be easy. For every plus I've given the Romans (reduced build time), I've also given one to the barbarians (increased morale with barb invasions).

I'm way a head of you re: NodachiSam

His map is superb, and adds so much to the game....

I've pretty much included everyone I could locate either in this thread or in Max's readme who contributed a significant amount of time to this mod....

Cheers!

You won't have long to wait, axel.

I'm just tidying up some loose ends here and there and testing everything out in-game. As always, I find the odd niggle here and there, and I'm re-touching a few pics as well....

I want everything to be perfect for you guys

Also, you wanted an Attila Campaign. Well, there is one already in the mod... well, sort of...

If you play the West Romans in the "Last Stand" campaign, the Huns will come-a-calling before you know it.

In fact, I'm going to post a few screen shots of my current game.

Here is the first screenshot of one of my current games as the West Romans. This is looking west of Italy. I have beaten off many attacks, and have just recently regained two lost provinces.

I want to go on the offensive but whomever I attack, means that I have other countries waiting on my borders to attack me, in return.

I am currently also being attacked at sea. So this means building a fleet to protect Italy from sea invasion. I have almost no troops in Italy, as they are all on my borders to stop the invasions.

And my economy is practically maxed out.

Right now the powerful Vandals and Huns (the Huns are just to the east of me. You'll see them in the next screenshot) are neutral. Heaven help me if they decide to go "Barbarian" on me. I have requested an alliance with the Huns several times, but each time the Khan politely says "not at this time" and "I have no intention of attacking you" even while he's busy whomping the daylights out of the East Romans.

Yeah, right....

Here is the next screenshot. It is looking east of Italy. I am the red player. You'll notice that the Huns (olive green) are perched nicely on my eastern borders, while the Germans (black) are busy sharpening their swords on my northern borders. And as usual, there are lots of "Barbarian Invasion" markers sitting menacingly near my lands.

It will take just one mistake on my part and all hell will break loose. Those dang barbarian hordes are just waiting for an opportunity to pounce.

Actually, one Barbarian Invasion Maker (loaded with Visigoths) did break through my borders and invaded Italy. It took me forever to trap and destroy it. It kept hopping from province to province, and I had to scrounge up the troops to surround it. I don't want that to happen again.

Meanwhile, the Huns have taken several provinces from the East Romans (purple). I think it will be just a matter of time before Mr. Hun turns his attention towards me.

The Huns have battled their way to the Mediterranean Sea and they are building ports and shipyards. That means I have to keep building more ships. Without naval superiority, Italy will be lost. I simply don't have the income and troops to protect everything. In Italy, all I have in the various provinces are some low level garrison troops. It seems that wise Mr. Hun senses this and is building his little fleet of ships to come pay me a visit...
