Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle (RTRUE) will start off in the year 27 B.C., with Augustus becoming the first emperor of the now Roman Empire. The mod will have historically accurate units and factions, and will end in the year 326 A.D., when Constantinople was made capital. RTRUE will run off of the brand new Rome Total Realism 7.0 map, with historically accurate region borders, city locations, and geography. RTRUE will aim to extend the current level of realism found in Rome Total Realism into the Common Era. RTRUE will require Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion patched to version 1.6.

Welcome to the Sixth Official Map Preview of Rome Total Realism: Under the Eagle

We're going to a place called Asia Minor. However, as you will see in a few moments, this area isn't so "Minor."

And as always, Enjoy :D


We shall start off our preview at a familiar place, the strait the seperates Byzantium from Asia Minor. Sitting to the east of Byzantium is Nicomedia, and to the south, Cyzicus.

Note: That road that crosses over the strait is an annoying little bug that will be fixed by release.

Heading down the coast, we find the cities of Sardis and Alabanda, their regions seperated by a river.

Continuing east along the coast, we end up at Tarsus, sitting on the coast.

Our next shot continues east along the coast, but gives us a look at two inland cities, Apamea and Sagalassus. The coastal city you see is Patara.

Heading further inland in a northern direction, we come across three cities, Ancyra, Iconiu, and Mazaca.

Our final stop is on the northern coast, where the city of Sinope controls sea trades for the area.

Another Note: The Only region you did not see is Cyprus, which is the island to the south of Asia Minor. The reason is that Fraps did not record the screenshots, and I won't have access to the computer with the files on it to take a screenshot for about a week, so I felt that I would still release this preview, despite the missing region of Cyprus, home to Paphos, which lies on the West coast of the island.
