Strategos Total War

[tls5669]

Name one really important mod for M2TW?

Broken Crescent.

And M2TW:K has a bunch of good ones. i.e Stainless Steel.

if this ever takes off, this sounds pretty neat. But I too wonder how it will fare, considering you are insistent upon using Rome Total War, and not Medieval 2. Your choice, of course, but I must point out that it would make this SO much easier and smoother. Rome Total War is a much more limited engine, and there are so many small little things nicer with M2. For instance, when cavalry charge in RTW, they don't switch from their lances to their secondaries always, and this makes it imperative to Alt+Click on charging. However, Medieval makes all cavalry units switch from Lances to their secondary weapons automatically, to avoid being chopped to pieces should you forget to hold Alt. Many other little fixes and nice things like that would help you, and you would also get nicer graphics, and a more stable game to be honest. RTW quite honestly wasn't ever really FINISHED. Hence the random crashes and strange happenings that occur. Medieval has FAR less of that type of junk.

But, the choice is yours. Enjoy your modding, whichever decision you make. I'll most certainly give it a spin if it is ever finished.

Well things are going well in the mod, we have a lot of work done, but there is still a large amount of work to do. I am wondering if anybody is interested in offering help. We especially need help from historical experts, modelers and playtesters.

PS. we will likely make a strategos 2 for Medieval much Eb is making a second version for Medieval

King Coal, you are aware that leaving your e-mail address on the internet is a good way to get a mailbox filled with spam? There apparently are bots scouring the web for such addresses. You can use the PM facility of the .Org, or if you have to use the e-mail at least write it down in such a way that bots don't recognize it, for example:

banana headman (at) hotmail (dot) com

BTW, just replacing @ with (at) and . with (dot) is probably not sufficient anymore, as mail bots are getting more clever as well.
