RTR - Removing the Britons?

[skeletor]

Vortygern!

- I think you should visit the TWcenter RTR forum and read some of the discussions about this, and other topics. There is a hole comunity comming with ideas, complains, historical info, and poll's on almost every subject (some topics have reached over 1000 post's), and the RTR team always respond and listen to the community.

Some of the changes might seem obscure at first, but if you follow the debates (and yes, the removal of the brits have been discussed in and out), they will make more sense.. Also note that there is allot of limitations in the hardcoding of the game, like faction limit, and you can't really blame the RTR team for that. Go flame CA. (some of the problems with the brits, was that they (as AI) invaded, and crushed the germans completely in most campaigns, and thats historically way off!! You will still fight large numbers of unique brit units if you try to invade the island, so they are not gone...

If you really want to play as the brits, you could always play vanilla RTW, or try modding them back in yourself. (The RTR team have opened allot of doors, so it's not that hard if you try, and there is probably some modders that will patch them back once 6.0 get's out.)

I'm really looking forward to playing as the Illyrians and Bactrians, for a change.

Ive got to say well done to the rtr team. I always felt that there were too many barbarian tribes in vanilla and one of the daftest was the Brritons. I am british (scottish to be exact) buts still recognise that the britons did relatively little in this time period. In fact to have a nation of "britons" at 280 bc is ludicrous, but unavoidable given the constraints of the game engine. As i understand it the britons remained relatively marginal to the roman emprire right through its history, and certainly did very little bar trade prior to the roman invasion. As such i think its much better to have more aggressive groups than the britons in RTR.

Incidentally id like to see the kingdom controlled by mithradates; is that illyria or something else (just finished reading the conn igulden books on ceaser and was quite taken by mithradates... i digress)

Cheers

the name of the mod is total realism so ...
if history "is saying" that the britons never played an important role in the years 280 bce to 1 or 40 ce what's that got to do with anything , these are the simple facts and the mod is trying to stick with it
racism shmacism white black pink or yellow
if ilyria was a major actor in the 3 century bce (ant it was) so the moders are right to prefer her on the britons and there is nothing to do - that is realism !!!
