Medieval: Total Realism

MTR isn't RTR. They are seperate teams and seperate organizations. Its also a different time period, one I'm more interested in.

Caius, I am glad you are planning to work on this already. Your work is superb. Perhaps the best thing about RTW compared to STW and MTW, in my opinion, is how it attracted so much attention from modders - and especially that from big teams such as RTR and EB.

CA produces amazing engines for real time battles, but (understandably) is not targeting the niche of gamers wanting hardcore historical wargames. I appreciate the way they leave the door open for modders to fill that niche.

Sorry I misunderstood. It's jsut in Achilles' post it said 'sequel', which made me link it to RTR. Also it said 'the masterminds that brought you'. Just the wording confused me, my apologies.

Anyway, after seeing what your doing with this area in The Crusades, it makes me think that this will be an excellent mod.

If you're talking about a Medieval EB, I will talk to Khelvan about it. What I want to avoid is another "RTR vs EB" competition. I know him well anyway so I'm sure that we'll be able to make an honest deal. ;)

Cheers!

Ach!

Oh and yes I said "Logical sequel" because MTR isn't 100% unrelated to RTR. As I said in the little disclaimer, "MTR is NOT an undertaking of the actual RTR team."

Very good idea. Healthy competition is all well and good, but here I think it might end up being a pointless duplication of work and waste of scarce modder time.

I suggest, perhaps, a different name than "Medieval: Total Realism." It associates the project with the RTR team, which has it's own problems. I don't have a good alternative, but leaving it MTR in my opinion causes too many problems. Like "Total Realism" in general, it seems to be a challenge, as if only this mod is realistic, or that it is the be-all and end-all for historical accuracy. I know that isn't what you say or mean, but that's just the way it sounds. In contrast, "Europa Barbarorum" could mean anything.

My (probably unwelcomed) $0.02 on the name of the project.

My other $0.02 involves praising the initiative and saying how needed this will be. I hope you guys really research and everything.

And I hope you'll find people outside of the RTR team to help you guys! New blood, more creativity, all that jazz.

Yes, i think it would be good to group the realism mods together, something like has been done for the hl2 mod 'black mesa', with the different mod teams working together for a more efficient and better mod.
