Ruins of Glory
Description
Ruins of Glory is a complete modification of Rome BI v1.6, featuring the last years of the Roman Empire. It starts in 476 a.d., with the scirian warlord Odoacer having just proclaimed himself "King of Italy", Julius Nepos running the remains of the Roman Empire in Pannonia, the Saxons, Jutes and Angles having landed on England, etc.
The mod is focused on the western part of the Roman Empire, as to give a better representation both in factions and regions. The mod is based on Rio's IBFD, from which basically the units are taken from.
Features
- New Map, with lots of new regions to give a historical depth to every corner of southern europe.
- Great units from other various mods, IBFD, Arthurian, Vlad, etc. More than 50 new skins/textures.
- 100 % historical characters wherever has been possible to research (the burgundians have their realistic king and heir, there is Odoacer and his brother, etc)
- Accurate historical development of the game, you won't see the Romans making a imperial blitz through europe. The germanics and other "barbarian" factions have the advantage as it should be.
- 4 turns per year script.
- Aor System; 100 % AOR system, Germanic factions can only recruit their units in germany, Picts only can recruit in scotland and some parts of Britain, but factions can recruit auxiliaries everywhere.
- Better horde balance; hordes are stronger and larger in numbers, harder to beat.
- Brand new factions symbols and banners
- Temples; every faction has his own correct temples.
- New loading screens.
- 21 playable factions, (7 new from vanilla);
Picts, Romano-British, Angles, Saxons, Franks, Frisians, Thuringians, Alamanni, Jutes, Lombardi, Ostrogoths, Kingdom of Odoacer, Western Roman Empire, Vandals, Berbers, Visigoths, Sueb, Burgundii, Slavs, Free Peoples, Rugians
