Sir Slash · October 29, 2013, 02:18:17 PM

I finally pulled the trigger on the Radious mod. Will post some impressions when I get a feel for the mod.

Iceni blood and gore?

Slash was the Radious mod complex to set up?

Last I saw, Radious' mods were supported in the Steam Workshop so all you have to do is "subscribe" to it in the Steam Workshop and fire up a fresh game IIRC.

Sweet pickleshits, another 'Blood Pack' DLC?

That's just one graphical feature I expect to be in 3D tactical strategy games from the start. I don't buy any "we were avoiding higher maturity ratings!" BS from them, either.

Can't say I didn't see this coming as the blood was shockingly missing in the game release.

Gusington · October 29, 2013, 02:31:16 PM

Me neither. Won't get it.

So how is the stablity of.TW mods in the new Steam workshop? Better than before?

Yskonyn · October 29, 2013, 03:08:36 PM

I like me some gorey stuff.. 2,5 euros won't kill me. :P

Sir Slash · October 29, 2013, 03:55:04 PM

Like Nefaro said. Radious was a breeze to install. Just subscribe to it on Steam. The download was about 21MB but that only took about 3 min. for me. Then click on "Mod Manager" and then "Play". And there's an easy "Un-Subscribe" tab to click on too or if you want vanilla, just don't click the Mod-Manager button. So easy even a Yurt-Burner can figure it out. ;D

mikeck · October 29, 2013, 06:48:49 PM

Yeah, the steamed workshop is a breeze. Just browse and "subscribe" to the mods you want

Gusington · October 29, 2013, 07:53:30 PM

Yeah I've done it a million times for Civ V...never for TW.

So I'm playing the Seleucids at war with Egypt, and I take Jerusalem and then head east to Petra. They're both in the same province. Petra is the provincial capital and has strong defensive walls and Jerusalem has none. Shouldn't this be just the opposite? You ancient history experts out there let me know if I'm wrong about this. Was there ever a time Petra was a fortified city? And wasn't Jerusalem always one? Even before the Roman era? I know, I know. It's CA's game and they can make it any damned way they want. Just saying... ???
