Talk:Rome: Total Realism

Template:SGames}}

Status of RTR:PE

As of April 7, 2007 it was considered "official" by the designers. "In other news, we are proud to announce that Rome: Total Realism is officially adopting the fan-made modification, Platinum Edition, as an official version of RTR." (http://www.rometotalrealism.org/).

NPOV

This article reads like an advertisement for the mod from a gaming web site, and is not "encyclopedic" in anyway. If someone could take out the FAQ and remove the useless extra commentary and replace with a simple list of changes the mod has over the original game, that would be much more suited. 69.232.225.167

Agreed. I'll work on it. —Simetrical (talk) 04:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it's much improved now. Some additions to consider: RTR history, and its relationship to IR and MA. —Simetrical (talk) 05:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Does anybody know if Total Realism 6.0 works with Rome:Total War 1.5? I've got the Gold edition...--84.217.124.231 21:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

RTR Gold uses 1.2 edition. Try Platinum which uses 1.5 and is much better than Gold.Lucius Domitius 17:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

How do you get Platinum? The page this article links to seems kind of out-of-date, and 1.2 isn't on the Total War website anymore.

have you tried via File Sharing apllications? - 80.98.211.195 17:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you actually buy rome:total realism or just download it? 'cause on the other page it has a box with the pic on.

pretty sure that box is just a render by someone bored enough to make boxart. 66.215.20.28 (talk) 14:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

New Political map

Btw, the page needs a new political map, as the current is from the stone-age 5.3

Yep, I agree. This one is much better. http://lazarus.elte.hu/~hzsolt/terkep/rtw/rtw_political_trm60.png

What is the official site?

I do not understand one important thing. Is rometotalwar.org the official site, or is rometotalwar.com the official site. the .com site seems to be a fake, or atleast an abandoned site (last updated in 2005), but for some reason, it's the first one to appear during google and other search engine searches. I remember that rometotalwar.org was pissed off at the .com site, and the fact that it was set up as a scheme to get people to donate money to the .com site owners. I think that's an important note and should be written in the article as for the sites history. Persianlor

Can some one tell me which mod is better Europa Barbarorum or Rome total realism???

Don't download either of them, it is totally unprofessional how they handle installation techniques, they don't warn you about any data loss, they are vague about some program deleting certain files. If you don't understand what they are really saying you are scr*wed. They tell you to simply make a copy of the Data file in your Rome: Total War file, AFTER you have installed the mod. How immature is that? I strongly advice you never to download any of those mods and never ever never install them. Mallerd 22:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for the advice, i posted that message a long time ago in the time after ive tried both mods and i think there brilliant, however i felt EB was the best but it crashed at the year 242BC everytime (very annoying) so now im playing realism and ive got no problems with it.

I've downloaded both EB and XGM and I've never had any problems whatsoever with the installation. SpartanGlory1983 (talk) 13:52, 20 April 2008 (UTC) SpartanGlory1983

User Mods

I added this little part and also updated the RTR PE version as well. Xelnanga 04:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Notability and focus

I think that this article does conform to the standard of notability required for Wikipedia. I have found several reviews (mostly of the old RTR 6.0 version) online. [1] [2] [3] [4][5] Based on these, I feel that the notability warning should be removed. I am unsure if these would be appropriate for the external links section or not. I also feel that the article focuses on a single version of the mod rather than the project as a whole. I think that future edits of this page should take this into account. --Ptolomy of Epirus (talk) 23:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
