Great mod, one of the best I've played in any game. But just out of curiosity, is there a way to shorten the build/recruit time as well as increase the settlement growth rate slightly?

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the mod, genuinely incredible achievement. Just wondering: Is it a bug or a feature that in some cities my mainline government buildings have massive pop growth reduction modifiers? As in, -5% at minor city level. But in other cities the reduction is massively smaller, as in -1% at minor city level?

@wyattsprecher You have to activate it in the Feral launcher.

@Ray Getardo Just like in vanilla. The AI will recruit them though if you play on hard or Very Hard and might take them all.

How do you recruit mercenaries in this mod? ive tried dozens of times now and i never seem to find any in the pool for recruitment. to clarify i understand where the menu to recruit them is, its just non ever actually show up

How can i get this mod to load? I downloaded the mod and it keeps coming up as vanilla. is there something i have to do special?

does anyone know why i cant play my save game no more after 3 turns, its CTD

Wish Bosporan had all the complete unit roster from the original Roma surrectum on the og Rome TW They where so fun and unique to play back in the day

Went from Ultra to medium and still crashing for me. :(
Not sure what it can be. I have a pretty decent rig so cant be that,

@Ace Yeah you have to do it manually.

Thanks Legend! The PC setting were on recommended setting, but maybe that was for the standard game and I have to lower for this mod. Will give it a go. :)

@AcE if it's 300+ turns in then it's nothing you can really do. If it's less then you prob need to lower your settings. RIS is way harder to run than Vanilla as we use higher quality, more textures per units etc.

Hey Apple. Firstly thank you for this amazing mod. My game keeps crashing every so often, sometimes 1 every 2 turns. I am not using any other mods. Any ideas to make it more stable?
Many thanks in advance.

@SzczypiorTHC Not this year.

any info when new version came out ? i need to plan vaccation

However if you only play RIS you can safely uninstall the high res texture pack "DLC" for vanilla.

@Chris P. Bacon It's due to all the textures, especially for all our units. Not something we can really do anything about. It will keep growing with each release.

Thanks again for this insane work of passion. Silly question, but this mod is 47 gb on top of the 42 gb remastered is? Playing on a mac so don't have that much space. Thanks!

@gezza_12 Yes ofc.

Is this compatible with current game version?

No idea why 50% of the people on here think the modders are trying to force them to conquer the whole map ? Long victory campaign is 100 regions and no one is forcing you to choose or even try completing it. The number of regions on the map does NOT stop anyone from playing long/short campaigns or stopping/starting whenever they want !

They said, they will make a submod with less settlements. I hope they use the Imperator map mod. This is imo the best map size if they fill the big empty regions with new factions.

For the love of god, please lower (if not outright halve) the amount of settlements you have on the map. There is such a thing as too many.

it becomes such a chore to keep up what you have and where. I love the deeper gameplay the mod provides but I don't want to start a game and spend 30 minutes remembering where I am and what am I doing.

Can you play as Elis eventually?

well im about to fire up this mod Im excited its the most recommended mod. I like to play vanilla first then check the mods to make it more fun thank you guys for all the hard work!

Best Mod ever, we all know it crashes late game, we are patiently, humbly and kindly asking if you can update it, so we can play, for free :) the best damn mod ever made...
great work, wish total war could learn something from you modders, just wanted to say thanks for the countless hours of pleasure you have given us, cheers and thanks

@Badie My brother in christ they're making content for FREE, I can't believe how fucking ENTITLED you are. Do it your fucking self if you're so impatient

According to discord, the next update will come next year. So we have to have some more patience.

Hello, it has been one year since an update.

Could you create a submod that adds peasants, siege engines, and similar units back to all factions? It feels like something is missing in terms of fun — for instance, 0-turn recruitment of peasants would allow for migration gameplay strategies, and the absence of siege engines for factions like Rome and Greece undermines the feeling of playing as advanced civilizations.THX

@Dustyn
Have you gone to their discord?
-Coffee

Asking again... Is there ever going to be RIS with a smaller map?

Hello, I'm just wondering out of curiosity when will the next update be and what would it be about? is it still tentatively scheduled for March 2026?

greetings, when I go battle its crashing ? what should I do ?

Just tried this for the first time, wow! Great great work, adds so much depth that it kinda feels like a new game
Agree with some of the others Re: too many settlements, i think only certain areas are too congested and makes navigation tricky (see the Dardanelles)

@LePaow De Cubbes Try lowering the settings. It's very likely your PC if you haven't reached 200+ turns.

Game crashed while quicksaving. Game often crashed after few minutes. Have no other mods. My PC is very good. What can I do?

Thanks @Apple. Found it.

@hammerpa1 still there. In the same place as in vanilla.

The fact the map goes as far as India is brilliant - BUT i do think there are far to many regions... any more then 8 in Italy for example is to many in my opinion.

I don't see an option to make unit size huge in the settings. Was this removed?

Tbh eay too much regions. Gameplay is too broken imo

I think the amount of provinces is far too much to the point where it compromises gameplay

can we have the latest version of the mod on moddb as well

How do I remove factions from the list of selectable factions? I don't like the emergent factions and the factions without descriptions or portraits showing up in the selection menu.

this is the best mod i have ever seen

@Leo Major I love mods to TW series with Big Maps, for example Map In Empire or Napoleon was to small for me. I love Imortal Camapaigne in Warhammer series 😜

The amount of cities it soo much. It's too overwhelming. Like for example if you pick a faction with a huge chunk of the map..... you load up the game to have to manage 20-30 cities right away and it's like you already conquered the game yet you own half of Anatolia.

I don't know. I came here wanting more but this is like biting off more then you can chew. It's too much for my stomach. Lmao

It's a shame, but I keep my fingers crossed that the next big update will come out as soon as possible. I'm just starting my adventure with this mod and I recently played the original Rom Total War 20 years ago on SPQR mods probably in version 6.0 and Rome Total Realism. And what does the mod refinement look like at this stage in terms of AI on the campaign map? Is it difficult? AI is aggressive and conquers a lot, recruits a large army?

The next major update is not likely to come out this year. It all depends on how many people help out making the mod though. The more help we get, the faster it goes. :)
