superpowers?

While playing as Carthage in RTR i checked the diplomacy screen only to find that the Seleucid Empire was a protectorate of both the Ptolemic Empire AND Pontus and that Armenia had destroyed Parthia and had driven a wedge through Sarmatias' territory before making them a protectorate also.Dacia also had both Germany AND Thrace as protectorates.This is a much more refined version of the original RTW product.

Ah, yes. And Spartiate, the RTR team is currently striving very hard to overhaul RTR and 6.0 will soon come out within a week or two (or lesser, please! :) ). They're also very interested in overhauling the East. You'll see a new faction in the far east called Greco-Bactria (and another faction in the Balkans - Illyria), another breakaway kingdom of the Seleucids. They removed Thrace (and for Illyria, Britannia) for this. Also, apart from a huge number of features especially the ZOR+ concept they're very interested in trying to solve the weak Seleucid problem in which even RTR can't get away completely, yet. (The empire was the most powerful at 280 B.C. but in the game, they're the underdog, despite the size.)

Tell it to Simetrical, Seleucos I Nicator, nowonmai, Bouis, (all twc names) and others when they visit the org, not me! I'm not on the team (no way I'll be, I'm pathetic at modding) but just bringing some good news in case you miss them.

i dont have any modds on my game i have just modded little things like the stats of units but nothing that modds the mechanics of the game. Its getting borring to see the same thing happeing all the time with egypt ruling the east and the other factions just barley hanging on until rome reaches the marius reforms and stream rolls them down. I am waiting for the EB mod but until then is there a way where i can modd the mechanics of the game so there can be other faciotns such as carthage or selucids being more powerful? and is this possible with out downloading the current modds such as RTR? thanks
