Fixed a bug where the game would not launch in windowed mode, and stalled before the legal screen on certain iMacs. Fixed a crash when changing the Unlimited Video Memory option while in battle on Mac. Fixed some unintentional motion blur while looking at the sky in battles on Mac. The difficulty slider on the faction selection screen will now set the difficulty correctly in the Mac App Store version of the game. Fixed a bug where preferences including campaign difficulty were not being saved correctly in the Mac App Store version of the game. Optimised campaign memory usage in the Mac App Store version of the game, by loading less campaign character / general models into campaigns where they are not needed.
Increased the default screen resolution aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 on Mac. Improved the games automatic detection of graphics settings based on Mac hardware. Texture quality is now based on the available memory on the machine instead of the graphics settings selected. Audio mods will need to be updated from Patch 17 forward, to support Wwise v2014.1.3 a guide and example can be found here:. Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition – Patch 17 Technical and Performance Issues 1 Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition – Patch 17. That last part is just my personal theory, but remember that the greeks named troops according to shield types, not roles on the battlefield. I am guessing this has to do with the lightening of the greek armies, when every body went light, abondoning the unweildy hoplon, they adopted it, just to keep standing out and seeming "royal". Apparently, the royal peltasts began with carrying pelte shields, but it seems that they choose to carry hoplon shields eventually. Though you are partly correct, but not for the reason you are stating, if they are named peltasts they should carry pelte shields, but instead they have hoplos shilds, which would make them hoplites, or atleast heavy machairophoroi (in this instance the name comes from their role, or weapon in modern greek machairi means knife, but apperently in ancient greek it means to chop). The royal peltasts were a group of glorified bodyguards of the macedonien royal family.
Peltast means that the soldier is carrying a pelte shield, it doesn't mean that the lodier is a skirmisher. Please someone clear it for me what's their role and should we use them and how where them historically?Remember that greeks named their troop types by what shields they carried, so peltast isn't a weird name for infantry. Hello everyone, i was wondering if royal peltasts should be elite skirmishers with really good melee stats or just a very good melee unit with an odd name.
