no it;s not just eye candy, remember the unrealistic egypt in Vanilla RTW ?Im also lost as to what you guys call more realistiy...( historical changes to the officers and bearers) Is this more realistiy?
Is it just the eye candy people are talking about or what?
Well they have had a complete reskin, so you will not find fake-armored axemen in their army's.
And you will not find any arcanii in the battle field when fighting the Romans.
Also part 2 about the realism, is that it starts in the year 280 BC , meaning that the Romans have Pyrrus on their backs right from the word go.
It;s now actually a challange, playing as the Romans
And I believe Carthage was beefed up a little too, as in units and in settlements. And the greeks have been powerd up a little too, jsut like a lot of other factions.
I have no idea what the SPQR map looks like, but the realism map is really much better and bigger than the vanilla map.
I would recommend trying RTR gives you more challange than the original game.
I don't hate SPQR it's just that I don't like the 0 build time Idea ( as I have heard is the build time for most infantry )
However I am gonna give SPQR a try, just to now if it's any good![]()
