Winning as the "limped" Seleucids in vanilla RTW is much easier, by far, than the full Seleucid Empire as seen in mods like EB, RTR, and XGM.
I'm starting to see that more and more TWCenter people are on this forum... I'm pretty sure that the SigniferOne on here is the same as TWC.

I don't blame them. I've already learned a few things here and there that it probably would have taken a lot longer to find elsewhere.
Hi,
Hey guys have you seen the new RTR VII youtube channel?
You can check out their latest videos and some of the old ones in there.
www.youtube.com/RTRVII
I already add the channel.
By the way, there is also one about EB called EBFoot where you can check out a video preview of EBII.

Some of them have almost no chance of winning, so it's just as well you can't play them...I have won as Parthians, though, the civ in which cataphracts eat most all infantry with little difficulty. If you can just last that long.

The Seleucids are playable from the beggining though. I kicked butt as them though, got bored and started a new campaign though. I owned most of the map though, and was incapable of going broke (lots of $)
Yeah, quite a few of us come here. It's provided some invaluable information for the Roma Surrectum 2 Romans - hemets, steles, reenactors gear and so on.

Yeah, I've seen the RS2 previews. Great work.

I was already wondering when I'd see one of you here. :lol:
Just a question about RS. It loads 2 shortcuts on the screenpage...one for RTW and the other for BI, but both versions play as the RTW/RS?
Am I missing something there?
If you installed RS into the RTW folder, you should use the RS/RTW shortcut. If you installed it into the BI folder, you should use the RS/BI shortcut.
Enjoy playing!
But I can use both shortcuts....so my question remains the same...is there more to the BI shortcut that meets the eye? i.e. does it carry on into the years that BI covers?

No, BI just enables the use of shield wall and schiltrom formations, hordes, and emergent factions.
Cheers! Haven't had time to finish a campaign yet.
