SPQR 4.0 Released!

[lt1956]

Simon I think you'll like the mod, there is enough realism in it for people that dont want wardogs and druids, but enough focus on the gameplay to make that the main focus of the mod.

I think RTR is for the hardcore realism fans, but most of us arent hardcore realism people. I too like realism, but still like to see my Legions with the standard look. of course my mod ends in 220AD :-)

Overall when you play SPQR you will see how I like to play, I personally think no diplomats opens a whole NEW gameplay experience for the better, as the AI in RTW cannot and probably will never use this feature correctly or even well. It becomes more of exploiting and bribing the AI for the player. I tend to want to place the focus on desperate battles where no peace is possible except slavery or destruction. I mean Cato said Carthage must be Destroyed. lol These were not times of peace and since Rome wasnt known for its peace I focused on Total War.

Give it a try if you dont like it, you can always play other mods. We have variety. :-)

A small addon is available that Adds the custom buttons to the campaign map. it also addresses a couple small bugs with city view etc.

It can be downloaded in the same place as SPQR 4.0. There are NO CTD issues with the version 4.0 so this patch / addon is for looks more than a fix.

Just had a successful battle slaughtering rebels, then moved my army back to pela, returned a scouting cavalry unit from dacian terratory back to byzalore (?, the city furthest north west from macedon) and then CTD
