I just read on the RTR forums...

It says that? Heh, I need to read the 7.0 threads more...

Anyway, yes you can make specific characters appear, however they won't join your family tree. It'd be sorta like recruiting a general in BI.

However, I don't know all the details on this 7.0 feature so I can't really say for sure what's happening.

Well i took your advice and looked for the platinum version of 6.0, and in my search i happened to come across a RTR 7.0 thread which i happened to enter just to see what 7.0 would have and just happened to skim through and see something like: "What better for the Marian reforms than to have Marius himself appear with a legion!?" Along those lines... Don't ask me where i found it, the RTR forums are big and i haven't been there in a year.

Rtr 7.0- Bi

Eb 0.8- Rtw1.5

Maybe it's like the Slavs, Romano-British, RE rebels and Ostrogoths spawning? It's BI after all.

I'm really curious why the guys want to stick to the normal RTW....
BI 1.6 has a better AI.

Plus, we won't get any more patches for 1.5.

The 1.5 and 1.6 AI is pretty much the same, from what I've seen (using RTR Platinum and simply using the BI exe to run it). Hell, the exes seem like they're pretty much duplicates, except one looks inside bi\data and the other looks inside data, and the 1.5 exe has a few BI options disabled (hordes, for example).
