It was during the development of Roma Surrectum 2.0 that I first saw mentioned the issues the mod team were having with the engine’s hard limits. Then I discovered Roma Surrectum, one of the more popular mods for the game.įaction Cap Will Be Lifted For RTW Remastered from totalwar Rome: Total War mods were actually my first foray into the realm of modding games before that I’d been a bit of a scrub and just played everything vanilla. Caps on the number of factions that could be coded in, as well as on how many towns could be on the map, even how many units you could have in a faction’s roster severely limited any mod’s scope. Modders for this classic Total War game have always had to deal with some hard blocks on what they were able to do. During a Q&A on Discord ( found via r/TotalWar user tjrolex), the studio in charge of the remaster – Feral Interactive – confirmed it’s lifting at least some of the limits that the original engine imposed on the community. Modding was mentioned during the announcement last week as an area for improvement, but until now we’ve not really had a complete picture as to how mods are getting help.
I think the best compliment I can give is that, with the changes made, the graphics look as good as nostalgia says they looked 17 years ago.What a time to be alive: Creative Assembly is remastering the original Rome: Total War for the modern era, and it’s due out later this month! A firm favourite among die-hard Total War fans, it’s technically a very clunky strategy game, but one that’s managed to endure in the hearts and minds of series veterans for so long thanks to its mod scene. The battles especially just look lackluster because the battlefields are so bare of features. They're better by leagues, with lots of sad building models getting remade, especially on the campaign map, but they're nothing compared to any modern Total War. The music especially is much higher quality than the old game, and whatever magic was worked there has revitalized one of the best soundtracks of an entire era. That's not to say the graphics or sound are lacking. The somewhat-aged rig I played it on was able to chop along at maximum settings and peak unit sizes quite happily, with no stuttering in even the largest battles. The old Rome: Total War didn't always play well with modern hardware. As a remaster, a lot of attention is going to be given to how it looks and sounds, but what you really get out of this remaster is how it plays.
