Radious Total War Mod - Troy Beta Released 16.08.2020
🕑 Added 2020-08-16 09:08:18 +0000 UTCHello Everyone, Team Radious here!
In recent days TW: Troy has arrived in all of its (measly) glory! As a result, since its release, we have working hard to create yet another of our signature Overhaul mods for those who prefer to have their TW games “Radioused”! While Troy may be just a Saga, smaller in scope and scale, in terms of files and their size and complication it is not at all smaller than any other full TW tiles and will consequently increase the amount of work ahead of us!
However, as we have promised, we are going to provide you with a first early beta build of our Overhaul. In line with your expectations, it is going to grow in the upcoming days/weeks and even months, more often than not I response to your feedback! This early start will provide an opportunity for our fans and those who care about our work to be proactive about its creation and shape it in the way they prefer!
Nevertheless, this early build will be an exclusive beta available to all our Patrons! Once it is more polished, bug free and rich with features, it will be released for everyone to enjoy at their leisure however! Like all of its predecessors, this 8th full total overhaul mod from our team will be there for you to enrich your game and make it more enjoyable!
Here is full release changelog of the release beta version:
