Custom Cities

**Vladimir** · 07-24-2006, 14:22

Doing some skimming thru the mod threads I didn’t see any one where they advocated creating historically accurate cities. If this is being worked on and I missed it could someone please inform me?

If not, then how would it (could it) work? Is it possible to create custom cities and are various improvements displayed when they’re completed? I’m only familiar with M:TW so I’m not sure if this has been done in Rome.

Hell yeah! Making new cities in RTW was easy, M2TW's Campaign looks very similar.

EDIT: Ah, now I see what you mean. Scrap that first bit.

Yes custom cities could be created. Its a pretty time consuming process so most mods dont try to undertake it but yes it is possible.

Someone had a similar idea for Rome, but it never took off, because of the time it would have taken. But I hope this gets the support it deserves. Historical cities and fortresses would be an excellent addition.

Aside from dsyrow1's excellent Eternal Rome project - which I believe will be included in the Paeninsula Italica mod - which created the entire battlefield in 3DSmax, the greatest amount of information we have on making customised settlement plans is here:

Whether the same files will be exposed in M2TW remains to be seen. From the screenshots, the settlements look a lot more integrated into their scenery so putting them together may be even more complex.
