hope the bugs are fixed and the x-pack are more open to modders so they can make even better mods(GO EB!GO EB!

)

Well if its just a skin / model pack and doesnt add anything useful or fix some bugs I am not going to buy it or make a mod for it. We have a ton of bugs, Lag issues with over 6500 men, AI siege messed up, No built in kill sheet just battles won or lossed, Cant name our LEGIONS army isnt personal without a name (X legio Gemini), No 3D ships Battles now that is something that should be in this game, Extra modding features like win conditions AI etc., LARGER Battle MAPS!!! Feel cheated there.

Unless they add most of the above, one or two VERY hard things maybe, BUT most are easy and unless they are added to the pack, Forget it. But we will see.

Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice Shame on me. Sad thing is UNLESS they add more to RTW there wont BE anymore for it. So we will be stuck, so what if Pirates Total war have Ships RTW wont and game MADE for ROME. :-(

Well :)

Attila's Huns it is then! I am glad! I thought it was only logical to go that way!

Hoping to see a well established Constantinopole as well, with the Eastern Roman Empire!

I'd rather have it went a few centuries back. Heyday's of Greek empire, time of Alexander's conquest. Imagine, campaigning all the way to the pacific!

Now it's silly Barbarians all over again..

**Suraknar** · 04-25-2005, 09:12

Well, yes of cource, it would be Great to say the least.

But it is Rome Total War, they have to keep it centered to Rome and not the Hellenic World.

I do remember very early discussions of this when RTW was just announced.

There is many people who would rather play Alexander the Great than Rome...

But, there is always Modding :) That is the beauty of it! I was going through the EB threads and saw a map there that streches almost to India...so.

And if the Devs actually do something to help in the modability of the game with the expansion, then all the better, the Future of RTW is insured!

Now that you mention it, one thing I'd really like to have is some sort of screen that details every battle you fought, including which faction it was fought against, how many soldiers lost of each side and the loss ratio, and of course the battle outcome. I think it would be cool to be able to review the progress of your campaign that way.

Also, I'd like to have the figures for total number of casualties for and against for each faction you fought, total number of battles against each faction and average loss and loss ratio, and finally overall losses for and against and casualty loss ratio and win:loss ratio against every faction you fought.

I suppose I should design a table to indicate what I mean, but I can't be bothered right now.
