Ladies and gentlemen,

Following CA’s announcement of the next Total War opus, Medieval II: Total War, it is an honour and a privilege for me to officially announce the logical sequel of the award winning Rome: Total Realism (“Best modification for Rome: Total War – Total War Center”):

Medieval: Total Realism

As a matter of fact, Total Realism fans will be able to rely on another multi-talented team made of the best modders in the business. The masterminds who brought you Rome: Total Realism, Caius Britannicus – Lead Skinner, chigga – Lead Modeller, Nzike – Lead Scripter, Dark89 – Lead Coder, will work together once again, along with the rest of the team to give you, the fans, the most thrilling experience in the history of war gaming. MTR will reach a never-been-seen level of realism and will make the immersion so complete that you will truly be Henry V’s brother as you shed your blood with him at Agincourt.

Of course, we are aware that Medieval II: Total War is far from the stores but our team will do a lot of research during summer, concept arts for units, factions (banners, shields), etc so that when the game hits the shelves, we’re ready to begin actual modding. As an example of what a concept drawing looks like, here’s a Norman helmet and a French sargeant both made by Caius. Our main objective is to provide YOU, the players, with a high quality product while setting new standards of efficiency and professionalism.

Now Total War fan, fetch your gear and embark on the ship sailing for the Holy Land of MTR. War for Total Realism has begun, and it’s going Medieval.

Thank you very much and stay tuned for more updates on the most anticipated Total War modification, Medieval: Total Realism.

- Important facts: Rome Total realism (100,000+ downloads of the latest 6.x release, most active team in the community, 6 released versions, dozens of released patches, featured if major gaming magazines throughout the world and first major modification released for RTW - http://www.totalwar.com/community/rome.htm ) would like to remind you that the development of RTR 7.0 is still continuing as planned.
- Medieval: Total Realism is NOT affiliated with Rome: Total realism except for the composition of the team and the name of the modification. MTR is NOT an undertaking of the actual RTR team.

With a bit of luck we will not have to rely on Mods to provide 'realism'

Maybe. But you know, Shogun once said what was CA's opinion vis-à-vis realism. I don't have the quote under hand but I would be surprised if they went 100% realistic. If they want to make the game attractive for a wider audience, they need colours, style, grandeur, which aren't exactly what realism mods are looking for.

Thanks,

Ach!

This is good to know. RTR is such a vast improvement on the original that an MTR will certainly move things in the right direction wherever CA should happen to fall short.
