RTR: Under the Eagle

[Ryman2489]

I should have been more clear. Marcus Camillus adapted the 4tpy mod to RTR, and then added a whole lot more to it.

Ah, I see it's not just a simple multiple turns script - thanks for the clarification

Welcome to the first official preview of Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle

Below, is the first public screenshots of the Italina Peninsula that will be used in the game. Settlement Locations, Settlement Names, and Port Locations are all final, unless a significant amount of evidence proves them wrong.

Enjoy :D

The first ingame screenshot shows the Italian Peninsula, in its entirety.


Zooming in for a closer look, the Northern cities of Arretium, Auximum, and Hispellum are shown.


Moving further down the Peninsula, Roma, Alba Fucens, and Capua become visible.


At the southern half of the Peninsula, once again Capua is seen, this time accompanied by Venusia, Paestum, and Tarentum.


The last screenshot in the preview shows the southern most tip of Italy, where the city of Vibo Valenti lies.


Explanations of the Cities, Regions, and Ports
Region 1: Latium
Latium contains the great city of Roma. The city choosen to represent the port of Latium is Ostia, which lies near the mouth of the Tiberis River.

Region 2: Campania
Campania contains the familiar city of Capua, which is positioned in the shadow of a nearby volcano. The port of Campania is positioned where the cities of Cumae, Misenum, and Puteoli would have been.

Region 3: Apulia
Apulia holds the city of Venusia which was historically positioned on the Via Appia. The port of Apulia is positioned where the city of Barium, modern day Bari, is located.

Region 4: Calabria
Calabria caontains the "heel" of the Italian "boot." The great port city of Tarentum claims the region as her own. The port in Calabria is where Brundisium was located. It is postioned opposite of Tarentum and was used as a massive trading port with Greece.

Region 5: Lucania
Lucania holds another familiar city, Paestum. The city can be found on the northwestern border of the region, positioned near the coast. The port located in Lucania is roughly based off of the cities of Buxentum and Blanda, at the southern edge of the region.

Region 6: Bruttium
The region of Bruttium claims the southern most tip of Italy. Vibo Valenti, the key city of the region, is found along the Via Popilia. The port is based off of the large city of Rhegium, very close to Sicily.

Region 7: Samnium
Named after the Samnites, enemies of Rome, this region holds the city of Alba Fucens, found nestled in the mountains along the Via Valeria. The port of the region is positioned in the area where the cities of Anxanum and Pallanum are found.

Region 8: Picenum
Picenum is a very small region at the eastern tip of the Peninsula. Auximum and Ancona were the supreme cities of the region. Auximum, found further inland, was chosen as the capital city of the region, while Ancona, found on the coast, was made the region's port.

Region 9: Umbria
Umbria follows the border of Picenum south, becoming very thin where the city of Hispellum is found, nestled in the mountains along the Via Flaminia, which connects the city to Pisaurum, choosen as the location of the region's port.

Region 10: Etruria
Etruria is the largest region in Italy. Arretium, found deep inland along the Via Cassia is its capital. The port of the region is based off of the wealthy port city of Pisae, modern day Pisa.

We at Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle hoped you enjoyed our first of many previews to come.

A little insight into our next preview: Ibera will be unvelied, though mostly done, it has some further tweaks to work out.

Welcome to the second official map preview of Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle

Our most recent preview will unveil the Islands surrounding Italy. Join us on a trip through Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica.

And as always, Enjoy :D

Our first screenshot is a zoomed out view of the entire island of Sicily


As we zoom in on the northeastern corner of the island, we see the city of Messana, lieing in the shadows of a great volcano, much like Capua


Moving to the southern coast of the island, the cities of Syracuse and Agrigentum become visible


We end our journey through Sicily at the western shores, where the city of Lilybaeum resides


Traveling across the sea, we land at the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. Our first look is at the southern island of Sardinia, dominated by the city of Nora


Moving north, we end up at our final stop, the island of Corsica, home to Aleria


The Island of Sicily is divided into four different regions:
(East to West)
Sicilia Poeni (Lilybaeum)
Cameratum (Agrigentum)
Sicilia Romanus (Messana)
Sicilia Graecus (Syracuse)

The other two islands off the eastern coast of Italy are Sardinia and Corsica:
Sardinia (Nora)
Corsica (Aleria)

That what I love about RTR and it varients, the maps, can't wait to see to previews and the units, but need to ask, how are you going to do the Roman faction icon, will it be the Imperial Eagle or the christianized symbol or both?

Very good question. We are still in the process of finalizing and weeding our faction list. We have had some early icon work (nothing really worth showing) already done. The task of what exactly should be put on them will be started after the finalization of the faction list.

Welcome to the third official map preview of Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle

Our third map previews takes us into the densely wooded areas once occupied by fierce barbaric tribes. Join us on a journey through Iberia and Gallia.

And as always, Enjoy :D

We shall start off at the Iberian Peninsula, a massive land mass that was divided into only three regions, believe it or not! Our first ingame screenshot is of the Southern half.


Since Iberia would not be complete without its Northern mountain range to defend invaders...


Zooming in for a closer look at the southern half, we find two cities, Emerita and Corduba.


Taking a closer look up north, we see the lone province of Tarraco.


We now head futher north, into the dangerous forests of Gallia. Being far too large to fit the entire area into one screenshot, like Iberia, we divided it into north and south. First, the south...


And now the North.


Gallia is home to many provinces, the real question is, where to begin? Our first up close and personal look at Gallia will be at her southern shores, occupied by three cities, Narbo, Nemausus, and Massilia.


On the eastern shores, we find two cities in close proximity to eachother, seperated only by the banks of a river. These are the cities of Burdigala and Petrocorii.


East of those two cities, one can find Augustonemetum and Lugdunum.


Heading northwest, we end up at Julio Magus and Condate.


Heading east, we end up looking at several cities, Agedicum, Durocortorum, Divodurum, and Vesontio.


Our final stop places use on the northern borders of the Roman Empire. Where two cities, with tremendous strategic importance lie. Their names are Moguntiacum and Agrippina.


And that concludes our fly over tour of Iberia and Gallia. Below, you can find the complete region and province listing:

Iberia
Tarraconensis (Tarraco)
Lusitania (Emerita)
Baetica (Corduba)

Gallia
Narbonensis (Narbo)
Viennensis (Nemausus)
Alpes Martimse (Massilia)
Aquitania Prima (Augustonemetum)
Aquitania Secunda (Petrocorii)
Novem Populana (Burdigala)
Lugdunensis Prima (Lugdunum)
Lugdunensis Secunda (Condate)
Lugdunensis Tertia (Julio Magus)
Lugdunensis Quarta (Agedicum)
Belgica Prima (Divodurum)
Belgica Secunda (Durocortorum)
Germania Prima (Moguntiacum)
Germania Secunda (Agrippina)
Maxima Sequanorum (Vesontio)

And as always, feedback in accepted.
