Project History

Rise of Persia has been founded in April 2005 by Faeghi and TheLordSkinner. The mod first started out under the name of Persia: Total War(PTW), until August that same year. In November Faeghi passed the task as lead developer to Nero666, who still bears this title.

The next few months there was much behind-the-scenes work, with regular previews of finished works, followed by the first beta release in March 2006. In June that same year a version for RTW 1.5 was released, followed in October by a major update featuring many new factions.

The most recent release is currently ROP v2.1, being published in April 2007. There has been a small update (ROP v2.11) in November, fixing some technical issues. Currently ROP v2.2 is being developed. Though most of the details haven't been revealed yet, this page showcases some of the material featured in v2.2.
