Hey! I wanna play as Macedon.
I have some ideas for future patches:
-Make all playable
-Fix any known bugs
-With each new patch, release a few more historical battles.

If you want to play Macedon, just follow the link provided by Little Raven and use the mod.
It's not like it's hard to use

Obviously, fixing bugs is good. But I don't think CA needs to waste time making all factions playable or even with more historical battles. The fans are already doing that, and frankly, they're likely to do a better job than CA could anyway.Amenhotep7 said:I have some ideas for future patches:

If CA just refines the engine, the modders will take care of the rest. They've already started.

First patch is out for those that don't have it. Just fixes some multiplayer issues.

Damn, I just had a really immersive battle: While besieging the last Gaul town in Spain as Carthage, my besiegers got ambushed by a MASSIVE Gaul Force from the nearby Woods on the Map!
The battle took place on a hilly wood map with roads. I have 3 Long Shield, 2 Round Shield and 3 Barbarian Light Infantry plus 1 Barbarian Mercenary Cav. All in all, around 690 men, as some had already taken some damage.
The enemy fielded: some 3200 men, two Armies.
Well, the usual thing: They stormed up a Hill, I charged down, broke through! and their General charged my Light Infantry uphill. He got killed.
Two Large Shield Cavalries got surrounded by hordes of Barbarians, they died. But then the GREAT ROUT began, they recovered two times, and they had Swordsmen, but in the end:
2300 Barbarian Gauls killed, 450 of my Troops, around 900 escaped.
But well, killed a Gallic Faction Heir. A Pyrrhic Victory, but I got reinforcements the turn after. Then Hasdrubal, 53 year or so old Faction Heir, died... before Hanno, the old boy (78 or so!). For natural causes. Must have got a heat stroke in the desert!
Now this was an exciting turn!!!

That's....odd. You might try it again. TWCenter (who hosts the link) went down earlier today, but it's back up now.storealex said:
If the link still doesn't work, go to www.twcenter.net, go the forums, then go to the Workshop. (mods for Rome) Stickied at the top is the unlock all factions mod. You can't miss it.
Looks awesome. I think i'll buy it soon.
Since it seems mod-friendly, would it be possible to create a modification of M:TW on this engine. Having knights and crusaders and Mongols and Turks and whatnot. Would that be possible?

Yes, but we'll have to wait that some hard workers do it ^^
I think this mod would be up to CA.
Or we would fight Medieval battles with Antique looking units. They would have to render all units in 3D. Then they would have to change the campaign map, rename cities and so on, create different provinces.
I personally hope that CA gets enough cash for RTW to create a polished version of MTW within the next two years.

How do you beat Teutoburg Forest? I had like 90% of all the units on the field, and put a cavalry unit into the plaza (no enemies in the city) and I lost.

Nvm, I know how to beat Teutoburg Forest. But how the hell d'ya win Carrhae? My theory is that if you use your cavalry to drive the archers out of range of the Legions, then take the Legions out of Testudo formation, you might just pack enough punch to beat the Parthians...

I'm kinda disgruntled with the look of the Spartan Hoplites. Spartans wore a red cape, not a red toga (togas aren't good to wear in battle), they had a lambda on their shields, and hada Corihnthian helmet, not an upside-down salad bowl. If anybody has seen the Decisive Battles episode "Thermopylae", you'll know what I'm talking about, and know why I'm slightly disappointed...
