Rise of Persia Beta Released!

[Nero]

Beta Released!

Two months later than expected, an almost brand new team has finally finished working on the public beta of this mod. It features eight playable factions: Achaemenid Persia, the Pandyan Kingdom, the Kemetic Empire, Sakae, Poleis Iades, Taras, Athenai and last but not least: Lakadaimon. These factions are placed on a map stretching from the tip of India to Italy. This means it's a very diverse mod. You can choose to attack rising Persia from the east with Pandya, trembling them with your mighty elephants, or strive for leadership over Hellas as one of the Hellenic factions, with your hoplites, or just conquer them all as Persia itself, with probably the most accurate Achaemenid Persian army possible.

Ultimately, we will have an AOR kind of recruitment, but we're still thinking about the exact format, like faction-specific recruitment buildings or just the vanilla buildings.

We'd also like to announce another mod focusing on Persia, but now on the Rise of the Sassanid Dynasty. Spurius is going to be the team leader of this project, and is currently recruiting members to join ROP II.

We planned to release the beta at 7 PM today (GMT), but due to a March snowstorm, which also caused the Dutch Railways to delay the trains, and slow uploading of the beta, wé delayed the release for half an hour.

Wow, major problems with this mod. I can't get past turn 4 w/o CTD. Fresh install too.

Ya same, every time a battle ingages it just CTD's.

[RoP-Rez]

we have identified the ctds and AI problems and some of the fixes are available at www.riseofpersia.com

the rest of the main error ctds like on the campaign map are being tested and resolved at the moment. we also are dealing with some model problems. Im only a historian and no techy but i understand the problems have been identified and are being rectified

[Nero]

Yes the CTDs probably are based on wrong models or code errors, so I'm recoding the units. At the moment, I've got a completely stable build of RoP at my computer, but it doesn't feature our units yet. Just the campaign map. But I'm adding our units as we speak, so you guys can expect a fix soon now. Not tomorrow, but maybe next weekend. Don't know how hard the model problems will turn out to be.

[RoP-Rez]

just to update we will be uploading a fully functional beta within the week. We havent included egypt or the sakae this time as coding work still needs to be done on those factions
