I think that that some of you might be interested.

Looks great. Coincidentally I just reinstalled R:TW. When does this come out?

That *does* look very good., I may have to dust off my copy of R:TW.

I do not really like how the Phalanx immediately dissolves into sword fights.

It seems to be bug that the team has yet to resolve.

Quite impressive. I only wish they had a randomizer like in MTW to make the legions look less uniform.

Is there any reason why they couldn't have moved to M2TW for the sequel?

They wanted to see how far they can push the RTW game engine, and also because it is easier and faster to create a classical era mod on the RTW game engine.

It also has something to do with most modders still being RTW modders. MTW and ETW never got the same modders as RTW did, most likely due to many of them being disgusted with CA still having the same bugs in subsequent releases which mods already fixed.

Oh, and a lot of MTW code is RTW code. For example, you will still see the event "marian reform" in MTW code.

There are plans and discussion about the possibilities for the RS team to move to the M2TW engine in the near future, but there is no concrete plans yet as the team wants to finish their RTW mod first.
