Where is the blood they all want to bathe in?

And what about the men marrying 12 years olds?

I don't think we need blood on the fields. The gameplay is more important than graphics.

I want blood. I want to bathe in blood. I want to bathe in blood for a week!
Now kill them all!

I just read this post.

Seems like this guy has actually been able to create two blood effects.

First One
Spraying Particles. Small blood pixels flying

Second One

Pool of Blood lying on the ground when youre dead.

Altough this guy hasn't released pictures or a mod yet i guess we will see it pretty soon.

I'll post it when they have finished it.

I never thought about blood in the TW games until this thread.

I can live without it. If I want gore, I'll play Doom3.

After all, it's a strategic simulation, not a tactical one.

I really don't think armies bathing in bllod and entrails are necessary for the quality of RTW. People with low end PC's, such as myself, would only have more issues running the game if your graphics card had to use up more memory just to have some extra red pixels. I believe all the bodies laying around has the right effect. The fact that the game's battles are so fast and you hardly get to sit and watch much of the carnage (the fact you can't record the battles and watch replays like in MTW) what would be the point in blood?

Blood is not a big requirement, that's for sure, but really, the snobbish contempt against it is weird.

I wouldn't see blood being out of place. I don't mind if it's not here, but it's all the better if it is.

T or 12+ ratings under the current system mean no blood. Simple as that. Certification wins on that particular issue.

Thank Goodness!

Never really gave those ratings systems much thought until now, and you know what, I am now an ARDENT supporter of these restrictions and laws.

Quite right!

It's so telling that the issue of "blood", never came up (at least here at the Org), until this move to and emphasis upon 3D Graphics.

And what about the men marrying 12 years olds?

I believe that's historically accurate... Dirty romans

[King Azzole]

Ah yes the Nazi ESRB. 2% of mothers actually use it, 98% of adults are screwed by it.

Slazer777 from TW Center forum is trying to make blood visible in game.

CA, could you help him, please?

[Haido]

The thing is that they should at least have it as an option.

Gore [X]

[NagatsukaShumi]

According to the link their is a file which is all about blood, looks like CA have given everybody the chance to MOD it in the game if they so wish, which is nice of them.

Its not vital but again....my men are been stabbed by pikes and just bouncing back winded....it would be nice to see some blood.

It certainly isn't a vital aspect, just would be a nice feature.

[DisruptorX]

I'll be honest and say that I personally have not even noticed the lack of blood. The piles of corpses are gruesome enough. The only games where you even notice blood (mortal kombat, soldier of fortune) are those with buckets of gore and the proverbial "rivers running red".
