The RTR team are very proud to announce the full release of Beta 3.0, with an absolute legion of new features to play with. Big graphics overhauls, new buildings, new units, and much more add a whole new level of depth to the RTR 8 3.0 Beta.

Graphics overhauls are always some of the most fun aspects to showcase in a new release, and certainly no exception has been made here. 3.0 includes great new attention to detail, down to the level of improved more realistic dust effects, and also new unit skins and cards, especially for the Sakae of central Asia from where expert Kazakh archaeologist Mike "Xeofox" Antonov has been advising the team. Overhauled banners and symbols are also featured, as well as several new units including the noble Italian Equites and the elite phalangites of the Basilikon Agema.

The game's core features haven't escaped notice either, though, never fear. An irrigation system, the ability for Parthia to transition from nomadic to settled states as a faction, a new overhauled port system, a more diverse mining experience, and unit status bars in battle are all great new additions that give you an engaging, but also more realistic, look at how to manage your state in the classical world. Total war meets total attention to realism - this beta is taking the RTW engine another step into exciting new territory.
New easy-to-read unit status bars easily show you fatigue, combat power, and morale at a glance
In this release we also have the return of historical battles, allowing you to take control of a range of critical armies and re-live - or overturn - critical points from throughout classical history. In particular, Beta 3 a reworked version of the bloody clash at Raphia between Ptolemy IV Philopator and the Seleucid Antiochus III for control of the vital battleground region of Syria. One of the largest battles of the ancient world, tens of thousands of phalanx pikemen met in a protracted struggle with mighty African and Asian war elephants squaring off against one another on the flanks. Now you can take control and change history!

Amazing mod, has absolutely blown me away with the amount of depth and endless possibilities. :) keep up the Good work!!
how to install?
Congratulations with release! I gave you 10 for this.
Very deep historical project with a great potential.
btw, about crashes - its really can be solved by disable settings and also deleting all DirectX8 graphic addons.
fix the crashes
A lot of crashes can be solved by disabling shadows and anti-aliasing.
what about crash after battle while loading into campaign map
how long does rtr take to load on intial start up because the screen before the main menu loads then it seems to do nothing even after 10 minutes
Heya, so the faction selection screen is all messed up, the mini map covers most if not all of the faction icons. I can also only select provincial campaigns not the normal campaign...
Hi! I just try this mod, it works well, but I can't save when playing as the Greek city states (even with CRLT+S, it does nothing). It works if I play another faction (at least, with the Ptolemaic Kingdom).
And I browse everywhere to find a solution, but still can't find out what cause the issue. Someone have an idea?
Thanks!
The game runs just fine except for a few exceptions. When i start playing I realize I have hardly any men in my units. Its like the max is 25 men
You can change the number of soldiers in graphics settings of the game (recommended is LARGE)
