Battle Editor Tutorial

by Adder | 11/17/2005 19:26 PM

I was browsing the official Total War site today when I noticed a news item:
Rome Total War comes complete with all the editing tools you need to create your own historical battles and multiplayer maps – all you need to do is unlock the tools and your own potential for crafting epic battles. Over the next few weeks we’re going to steer you through the basics of the editing tools to help you on your way to creating battles through a series of guides. We begin by looking at the basics of the Battle Editor. You can find part one of our guide here.
Unfortunately news isn't dated, but I know I haven't seen the guide before. It's certainly worth checking out if you're interested in the battle editor!

Poll Results

Our last poll asked what you thought of Rome's current balance situation. The results show that most of you are generally happy, but would like a patch. I certainly hope we do, but news has been pretty slow lately. Anyway, here's the full results:
8.9% - It's perfect!
45.6% - Near perfect, a couple things I'd like changed.
37.9% - Pretty good, but another patch or two would be great
2.1% - Not so good.
5.5% - It's even worse than before!
The new poll asks what you think Creative Assembly should be working on. Game Patches? A new game? Community Content? Something else? Vote away!

Forum Party - November 5th

The weekly forum party is happening as per usual. The parties have been a bit slow lately (as has news for that matter), but I'm hoping they'll pick up... or I'll kill you all.

I guess all the new (and awesome) game releases are keeping people busy. I know I could barely decide what games to buy.

Anyway, check out the forum party thread for more information!
