Hi there xxaugustax, thanks for your question.

Some of the new general units are on foot, that's on purpose, to increase the variety in (general) units.
The type of generals you now get are dependent on the faction and whether the Marian Reform trigger happened or not, some are on foot, some are mounted.
Make sure to check out the Academy and / or the Government buildings in the Tech tree, for there are a few types of general units you can recruit.

My new generals are on foot. Is there a way to change that?

Service announcement:

A new mod "Total Rebalance III - Rome Rebundled (Complete Edition)" has been released, including both Total Rebalance, Ultimate Campaign Bundle and the Unit Variation Project all in one bundle.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252101212

Note that the balance changes differ a lot from both Total Rebalance - Rome Rerostered III and Total Rebalance II - Ultimate Campaign Bundle. (see mod's description)

@JonkoXL Thank you, friend

Hello 希拉克略帝!

Thanks for your comment!

I collected all of my work (rebalancing, new units, and campaign pack) and put it one single mod, namely: Total Rebalance II : Ultimate Bundle, which can be subscribed to here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3004910214
Additionally there is a separate Unit Variation Texture Pack available (by link) on that page, if you want to play with different shield and uniform designs (which is optional, but recommended)

Hope this helps to answer your question!

@JonkoXL Hello, my friend, I am a Chinese from Chinese Mainland. I don't understand English myself, so I am using a domestic translation website to talk to you. I don't understand English and I hope you can understand. The question I want to ask is, author friend, could you please gather your MODs together, concentrate them in one MOD, and gather the advantages of MODs? Your MOD is too scattered and requires too many subscriptions. I think it would be better to be a aggregator to gather MODs together. More importantly, as a Chinese, I don't understand English and I don't know how to choose or subscribe. Why don't you consolidate the advantages of MOD?

Hi Alexander

Want to let you know about a new DLC that I released today:

A new "Unit Variation" DLC has been released for Total Rebalance II - Ultimate Bundle.
Please check out here to play this mod with varied uniform and shield textures:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3209347318
(credits to Dux for providing the textures)

Note that you would need to download Total Rebalance II - Ultimate Bundle as well and play that instead of (Definitive Edition) Total Rebalance - Rome Rerostered III.
(it's pretty much an extended version of this mod, but comes pre-bundled with the Europa 270 BC map and 7 campaigns)

ok, thanks.

Hi Alexander!

Unfortunately at this time, only Rome Rerostered v2.31 is compatible with the Unit Variation Project merge DLC.
However, I do plan on merging Dux's Variation Project to Total Rebalance, but it will take quite some time.
I'll release an update when it's available.

Does it work with Dux mod Variation Project?

you are the best modder i know with your dedication to feedback - thank you! i will also try your campaign bundle once i finished my current campaign.

Hi JagdTiger,

Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, about the description, I haven't changed it from the base vanilla game.
I feel you are right about the Numidian's lacking a bit of Cavalry support and decided to update the mod with the following changes:

Numidia faction now gets:

- Mameluke General at Level 4 Government Building
- Camel Archer at Level 2 Archery Range

Additionaly, the Desert Infantry, Camel Archer and Long Sword Cavalry now get +3 XP when build from a higher level Barracks, Stable / Archery Range.

I think with these changes their cavalry (archer) options should be a bit stronger and infantry as well, while still making Numidia one of the harder factions to play with. (just as in vanilla)

By the way, you should check out my latest version of Total Rebalance (which is accompanied with a campaign bundle):
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3004910214
In this version, the Numidians already get the Mameluke General and Camel Archer, and additionaly, they also get the new "Clubmen" unit, which is quite strong (against armoured units).

Thanks for your feedback, I hope you appreciate the new changes.

i started playing this game with this specific mod again - this time as numidia, because the description said, that they have about the best cavalry.
worst kind of camel cav, absolute standard longshield cav - thats it. no camel archers, no beduin camels, no horse archers, no heavy cav, no cataphracs (probably very unhistoric anyway), just nothing worth mentioning even.
desert infantry is worthless, even against any decent enemy cavalry.
only numbidian legionaries are alright - and the general elephants are awesome. otherwise very lacklustre sadly.. maybe you have an idea in order to improve this a bit

Announcement:

A new (save game compatible) version of the Total Rebalance II - Campaign Bundle has been released:
Total Rebalance II - Ultimate Campaign Bundle
This version includes a newly released campaign called "RIse Of Empires" and includes the latest "Remix patch" with some additional balance changes.

Hi Nova_Satus,

Thank you for your reply and understanding!

Regarding your idea on modding, yes, as long as you don't copy and paste things from my mod (i.e. textures / models or literal text copy pastes), you can take inspiration from my mod's changes.

If you want to look at my mod's changes, go to a folder on your pc like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\885970\2821730989
(2821730989 is my mod ID)

To make your own mod, you would need to go to a special folder on your computer like this:

C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Feral Interactive\Total War ROME REMASTERED\Mods\My Mods\
(with yourUserName being your username)

I believe Danymok has a unit pack mod that you could use as a modding resource, so maybe that's where you could work from :)

Good luck!

thanks a lot for getting back to me, I completely understand. barbarian invasion isn't everyones cup of tea. I am interested in modding myself so have been thinking about putting the effort in to creating an overhaul for the game. I'm just not sure where to start. I really like what you've done in your mod so I think I would do similar with regards to units. with your permission would I be able to take inspiration from this mod, as in I'd use a similar structure with how the units are in this mod. I wouldn't dirrectly copy it but it would look a lot the same. I'd maybe just make egypt hellanistic though.

Hi Nova_Satus!

To answer your question, I rarely ever played Barbarian Invasion and never had any plans nor have any plans to "do something" with Barbarian Invasion regarding my mods, so (unfortunatelyt) there will not be a barbarian invasion compatible version of my mod... (additionaly it would be quite a lot of work to make a Barbarian Invasion version )

But I am glad you like this mod, and while there is no Barbarian Invasion version, there are plenty of maps and campaign packs that you could play if you were looking for something different than Vanilla.

Thanks again for your reply and question, make sure to check out my latest Para Bellum Campaign if you are looking for a new challenge :)

hello, i really like your mod, i was just wondering if you will make or if there already is a version of this definitive edition that works with barbarian invasion?

Hi Kurt, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate that you like that I made the mod!

As to comment on your feedback, I decided to not include the Marian Reform as to make more units available (from the start).
There is still a Marian Reform aspect to it that you are able to "randomly get" other General Units when the Marian Reform event hits.
The 5 turn recruitment requirement for General units is also on purpose, it's for balancing reasons, just like basic cavalry units also take 3 turns to recruit and elite infantry generaly take 2 turns to recruit.
Different playthroughs of campaigns may have the AI recruit higher or lower tier units, that units cost a bit less than vanilla is also to make the mod more compatible with maps like Europa 270 BC where general income is way less than the vanilla campaign.

Make sure to check out the Para Bellum Campaign as well if you enjoyed this mod, it makes for a fun challenge if you are used to the regular pace of vanilla campaigns.

An interesting mod. It would be useful if the Marian Reforms removed the older Roman units from the roster and converted princeps to early legionnaires. The 5-turn recruitment of leaders is also a pain. Finally since units are so inexpensive you end up with many large armies running about - the AI gets stuck without money having wasted funds on huge armies of low-level units. Thanks for making this mod!

Thank you for your valuable advice
It is very helpful. I will try your another Mod later.
I am now enjoying German campaign
I remember that in the original version, many units did not attack simultaneously. so its so exciting.

Hi Neko!

I am very glad to hear that your issue has been resolved!

From my experience, it is not necessary to uninstall the game, or uninstall other mods in order to play any of my mods.
It is often enough to just "disable" certain mods in the Mod Launcher that can conflict / are incompatible, i.e. mods that also change units like "Europa Barbarorum", and it is always prefered to start a new campaign.

Either way I am very glad your issue is resolved!
May I also recommend you to look at my latest campaign / map mod?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939385997

I think you will enjoy this one very much, as it has starting armies ready with units from Total Rebalance - RR III :)

Enjoy!

Finally! It worked. thank you very much.

All I did was reinstall the game and delete the whole folder of c: username/ appdata /local /feral interactive/Total War Rome remastered

Mameluke General unit shows up fine in custom battles, and also the save data loads fine and battle not crash,
what I learned from this was that when installing mods, you should unsubscribe in the workshop, not in the launcher otherwise you cant identify which file is still remain,

Hi Neko!

Thank you for your reply and sharing your details!

I can say Rome Rerostered III is incompatible with "Europae Barbarorum" and "Rome Retrofit" since at the very least, they both modify units just like Rome Rerostered.

Most likely your issue is due to these mods conflicting with each other, therefore, can you try disabling these mods and see if the issue still persists.
(Of course, disabling these mods can cause your save game not to load due to save-game deendent data from the Europa Barborum / Retrofit mod).

Regarding the Custom Battle result, did you try the "Mameluke General" unit, the one throwing swords?
(Just to be sure, as you wrote about an "Egyptian Riding General" unit)

Could you deliver me the results of these two questions, after you disabled all mods, except "Total Rebalance - Rome Rerostered III":

- Load a Custom Battle with the "Mameluke General" unit
- Load your save game and see if the issue still persists when the Mameluke General is being loaded for a battle.

If you can't load your save game due to dependencies to the other mods, then it would be helpful if you would try a new Egyptian campaign, to see if you can reproduce the issue without the dependencies on the other mods.

As for now, based on my own tests, and your feedback, I think the mods you listed, if you had them enabled, caused a compatibility problem and therefore your issue occured.
If not, then it is interesting, I haven't had any other reports about this issue for as long as The Mameluke General has been included in the Rome Rerostered III mod (for about a year now)

Let me know about the results, hopefuly we can resolve the issue :)

Hello Thanks for the reply.Here is the list of mods

I had subscribed to multiple mods.
I wonder if the conflict occurred even if I didn't have the other mods enabled in the launcher.
In custom battles, the Egyptian Riding General was worked fine, campaign map is normal.
Here is the list of mods

Mods containing conflicts:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- (Definitive Edition) Total Rebalance - Rome Rerostered III
- Better UI ~Classy~ (2.0.2)
- Europa Barbarorum I Unofficial Mod (2.0.4)
- Rome Retrofit
========================================================================

List of which mods conflict with each other

(Definitive Edition) Total Rebalance - Rome Rerostered III:
- 'Europa Barbarorum I Unofficial Mod (2.0.4)'
- 'Rome Retrofit'

Hi Neko-Kazu!

Thank you for letting me know about the issue you encountered.

I have run some extensive tests locally that should reproduce the error, but I could not reproduce the issue in any of my attempts.
To be precise, the location for the file in the error message is the following, right?
> data\characters\mameluke_mesh_lod1.cas

This file is present in the two Rome Rerostered III versions (Definitive and non-Definitive) that are on the Steam Workshop.

Could you send me the ordered list of which mods you had / have enabled at the moment the issue occurs?

As a wild guess, could it be that you have other mods enabled that overwrite some of the Rome Rerostered III files, or perhaps you have Rome Rerostered 2 also enabled?

Also, what happens if you select this Mameluke General unit in a Custom Battle, does it fail to load the battle properly?

In order to further help you, please let me know about the following:

- Which mods you have/had enabled which produce the issue
- Which map you were playing on
- See if disabling any mods excluding Rome Rerostered III has this problem occur.
- Try loading a custom battle with the Mameluke General unit

Thank you very much for reporting the issue and I really appreciate that you are enjoying this mod, I will await your feedback.

JonkoXL

If I didn't let the Egypt general join the error didn't occur so I think its probably related to general mesh.

hello I am enjoying this great MOD it shows the best part of original version.
I have one report
when playing in Egypt I always get an error when entering in combat and it crashes
error: filename doesn't exist : data/mameluke_mesh_lod I.cas
hope this helps Thanks

Hi Bedems,

Thank you for your question!

I haven't tried personalty, but I would say just give it a try :)
Unless Mundus Magnus 1.4 uses different factions than vanilla it should technically be compatible.
(It also helps to put Rome Rerostered on top of another mod in the launcher)

Let me know about your results.

JonkoXL

Hi, this mod is compatible with 1.4 Mundus Magnus map or just only 1.3?

Hi Suenchai,

Thank you for your feedback.

I understand your point about higher upkeep, there is truth to that, although I specifically lowered the unit upkeep to counteract the lower income on maps like Europa 270 BC..
About the elite armies, they still require 2 or more turns to be recruited so there is a bit of an offset their compared to low / mid tier units.
Lower upkeep also helps with the Campaign Bundle I created for Europa 270 BC otherwise all factions would start with a very negative income.

I am not sure if adding more units has a negative affect on AI factions, I have seen plenty of instances in the vanilla game where low tier units were still recruited while higher tier units were available, and in my mod I also saw that higher tier units were recruited (Chosen Swordsmen / Cataphracts).. I believe the choice of unit recruitment depends on the economy of said faction, at least I didn't change anything regarding the campaign AI.

Thank you for considering this mod an extremely good overall, as a suggestion to you, have you tried the Campaign Bundle for Europa 270 BC?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821841524

an extremely good mod overall. however, lowering unit upkeep imo is a mistake. human players can field elite armies with ease in the long run. i would like to see uber powerful units such as king's swordsmen's upkeep to be risen at least 5 times. also adding more units has a negative effect on stupid AI factions. in vanilla game, they will make powerful units such as urban cohorts, but now they only make low tier units most of the time.

Привет JonkoXL!
Слишком большая карта, устанешь всё захватывать ;))
Я всегда оставлю мнение на твоих модификациях. Всё таки из всех авторов - ты оказался тем, ты сделал так как я хотел увидеть в игре!

Спасибо, Сваор!
Мне очень приятно твое мнение!
Ты пытался объединить этот мод с набором кампании, который я также сделал?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821841524

Это просто один из лучших модов в которые я играл! Отличная работа, спасибо!!!

Hi JagdTiger,

Thanks for your feedback.
I am not sure if the AI behaves worse strategically on lower difficulties, it's just that they get morale + attack / defense buffs, + 7 for very Hard, this has been so since vanilla, I haven't changed the AI at all.
Maybe try out this mod to improve computer AI in battles:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2485055901
Also, try playing on very hard campaign difficulty, you will have plenty of unit stacks to deal with :)

I agree that most cavalry shouldn't beat spears easily, and would need to flank or find weak spots.
Butt the Cataphract, a well armoured cavalry unit could be seen as an ancient Tank, I'd like to imagine most spears would dent off the armour of both the horse and rider, while the added weight of the horse would make it a very heavy object you could ram into things.
The Cataphract was pretty much the best unit in the vanilla game and this mod honors that too.
Then again maybe they still are overpowered, I think the recruitment turns is enough to offset the imbalance.

thanks, but i could imagine that on normal difficulty the AI behaves overall much worse - less units, worse tactics and probably not even reacting properly..?

i do get that more expensive and more time consuming trained units should be better, but its a no-brainer to click cataphracts into a defensive, standing position with their natural counter - spears - and yet they outright beat them. cavalry should always be forced to seek for weaknesses and flanking opportunities instead of hitting like a tank. fighting AI with your called 7 attack/defense on highest difficulty with 3-4 cataphracts is simply not fun anymore sadly.

Hi JagdTiger,

Playing on High / Very High Difficulties adds more morale and boost attacks / defense, just as it does in vanilla, if I remember correctly +7 Attack / Defense on Very Hard.
So if you want a fair unit vs unit comparison you would need to play on Normal difficulty, whether custom battle or campaign.
