Rome: Total War mod Total Realism 6.0 Preview

Well yeah, but Rome is boring, its all 'lets steamroll them with our uber-infantry'. The Macas have that little extra native variety.

The Romans aren't overpowered after MArius.  In fact, I lost more battles with the Marius units. 

Now, were can I get the mod?  Is it in one of these many pageS?

The website is my homepage, but here's a link right to the download stuff:

And here's a link to the forums if you need installation help or something:

Or you could just PM me, Abyssmal Fiend there, too. ^_^

R:TR has an easy installing process, but I'll dig up the 6.1 German Hotfix for you:

The file was uploaded by Dark, who posted right after the topic was made. It's at the bottom of his post, and he gives you instructions on how to install it.

Enjoy.

The AI's stupidity i'd noticed in the actual battle along with its predictability, but on the strategy map it appeares to have an ounce of brains, even laying ambush once in a while.
But today i have to re-evaluate that assumption.

So, there i am with a 500ish army, and it attacks me with 3 seperate armies, each with a faction menber as general.
So you'd think, not one, not two, but three armies, each with a good general, not a bad idea, but, bare with me here.

Army number one consists of the general unit (+8 bobyguards), and, umm, nothing.
Army number two consists of a general unit (+10 body guards), and, well, nothing.
Army numbter three whoever, is different, it consists of a general (+7 bodyguards), and a badly depleted unit of hoplites (about 30).

So not only is it attacking a single 500 stack with a small army, it does so with severly divided forces.

Needless to say, they made good archery practice. Losing three family members in one battle, now thats gotta hurt ones sense of pride.

Will the patch work if I don't delete the game and reinstal?  I really don't feel like deleting my current game for this if that is the case.

Good, thanks!

Nvm, I got rid of it.  But I have one question; why didn't it work.  When I started my campaign, it simply quit without any message.

And I did not know it got rid of the historical battles and changed the beginning.  I personally did not like it.

No, that has been corrected in 6.1.

There has always been a fix on the mainsite for 6.0 if you want. I manually neutered them myself to keep them from going all golden horde on me.

Eh, so how much do they cost to maintain in 6.1?

Damn, my dreams of my very own golden horde are smashed
