The Team
Mare Nostrum is a modification for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 being developed by Sandstorm Productions, which formed in July 2006 upon the merger of the Burning Sands and Campagna Italiana mod teams. Since the union the team has gone from strength to strength and produced the first public beta version of Mare Nostrum in March 2008.
The Mod
Experience some of the fiercest battles of WWII across North Africa with Mare Nostrum [mah-re nohs-troo
m; Eng.] Building on the realistic, tactical game play that made Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 a fan favourite, Mare Nostrum lets players battle it out in an all new setting. Featuring British, Australian, German and Italian nations, choose from a range of authentic weaponry or crew one of 10 fully realised vehicles. With 8 different battle environments the game play is varied from gritty street to street fighting in urban surroundings to all out tank warfare in the open desert. This is North Africa, but not like you have seen it before.
In the Press
Mare Nostrum has enjoyed wide ranging media exposure and was voted into the top 100 unreleased mods in the ModDB 2007 Mod of the Year awards. On the 17th October 2008, Mare Nostrum became the first third party game MOD to be made available through Steam.
Mare Nostrum has also been featured on Gamespy, AMD GAME! and IGN.

With Mare Nostrum 1.4 growing ever nearer we thought it was about time we started giving you something to get your teeth into. In our first update in quite a while we are looking at what exactly goes into recreating the invasion of Crete in 1941. Plenty of new content to be glimpsed, so well worth the read!

We also have another Mare Nostrum update, this time in the form of a video! We will be showing you two of our latest additions to the Allied armoury, the Boys anti-tank rifle and the M1935 Browning Hi-Power. Both weapons are due for release in the 1.4 update this summer.

can you add Mare nNostrum 1.3 on Mod Db for dowload?Cuz i cant download it from steam i pressing the button to install and is not happening nothing.i Re-Instaled steam but is the same
Sad to say but, Darkest Hour is dominating this mod.
i think that italian have very weak thank...and that you can put (rarely) in some map the M41 90/53(http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Images/1-Vehicles(bis)/Italy/04-SPG/Semovente-M41(90-53)/p1.jpg), the only italian vehicle that is very very powerful.
this only a suggestion :D
i have to say to you that there is only 1 server in mare nostrum actually and that steam don't permise to me to join it.
Already in the closed beta build. :)
Hello,
It's sad to notice that there is no people playing this great mod.
That's why we made a community to revive Mare Nostrum.
The community, Revive Mare Nostrum / RMN, is a fresh community by people who want to show normal RO-players how great job the developers did with this mod.
The community isn't popular yet, of course, just a few people, but we need active people who are ready to play Mare Nostrum. The plan is to organize some matches in the future when there's enough people in the community. This isn't like "advertising" or some crap like that, I'm just a guy who wants to play the mod badly with PLAYERS, not bots.
Join if you're interested: Steamcommunity.com
Cheers.

The mod is unpopular because it's bad and RO is a dying game. Good luck with that, though.
yo dude this community of yours isnt showing up? how can i join?
some strange things hapens to me when I play MN. I play at a server with players then I exit MN and then I close it for like 5 min and when I start it again there are no servers with players at all wy ?? ( and I have got it through steam )
I just went to play Mare Nostrum...but there are no online servers aparently. Was there an update that i missed or what?
Do you have the version downloaded via Steam? If not uninstall Mare Nostrum and get 1.3 from Steam - Store.steampowered.com
