This one is small, I know, but I cropped the part I wanted; it was and awesome shot, I happened to have to pause the game and when I returned and saw the scene as I was perusing the battlefield, I...
yeah it's the end. Sad yet true. I wanted there to be a good end to it, because all my other AAR's I've written haven't had a definitive story line, and they drug on, and on, and on, and if I had a...
Spanish infantry don't seem to work. There's another problem I've encountered where the attacking units can't mount walls from the inside to capture them and keep them from firing on my troops.
-----------------Chapter V: Constantine, Roman Emperor-------------------
Mediolanum, January, 412 AD; Constantine's Quarters:
Eldobich marched his comitatenses through the city in triumph....
WOOOOOOW!!!! Hotfix is awesome, the map looks AWESOME.
I strayed from my Roman playing (blasphemy!) and started as Pergamum, who I've never played as. I love it. I am keeping my people happy, and...
...and you have to wait for the UI.bat to finish repacking, too; my problem when I first got the mod was I thought it was finished and exited the dos screen. It will close automatically.
actually the echlon is what made the thebans win the battle of Luectra against the Spartans. I used it to great effect against other hoplite-heavy armies in my new campaign as Pergamum, where my...
Cool. Although it appears I was wrong, the Draco never totally replaced the Eagle. So both the eagle and the draco would have been used at the same time, as they had two different purposes; one was a...
julianus,
romanarmy.com/rat is a forum where you'll find a LOT of the world's roman era scholars providing input on these subjects. Once you register, you can ask this question and it will be...
For some reason this happens, but it's not a mod problem. It happens to me in RTW and BI, and my BI mod, invasio Barbororum, as well. So I daresay it's not a mod issue.
---------------Chapter IV: Foothold of Power in Italy-----------------------
Eldobich was in a closed session with Constantine. Scouts had finally come in from Northern Italy and brought word on...
syrian archers have saved my legions from defeat more times than I care to know...
They are great archers, and they stave off the enemy until the infantry all close in to hand to hand, and when...
do it!!!
Thanks again, BB. I love these AAR's, since I love writing and I love playing RTW... And I really appreciate readers who enjoy them. Otherwise I'd just be a geek who wrote about a game... lol
---------Chapter III: Constantine's Gaul on the brink of collapse-------------
Constantine and his army marched into Lugdunum tired, dirty, and in need of rest. His son, Constans, watched from the...
@Bomberboy: Chapter III is eminent!!
@LoS: maybe the screens will come as soon as tonight...
to answer your other question, I can, especially if you have specific questions. This primer was...
Well guys, some good news and some bad news.
GOOD NEWS: I know I have taken some screenies of my army in action in methods I've suggested.
BAD NEWS: I've scoured through my screenies I have...
in IBFD I had the pro consul of sorts of Africa, I don't remember his name; but I wanted the trait to go to a more capable general. This guy was bad... a soft life in Carthage made him that way I...
@ swhunter: Like most armies, mine have a steady supply of reinforcements in the field. I will generally use three or four legions in the field, and build forts from my cities every half-turn away,...
hm... well who knows, bomberboy... I dont! my spies are figuring that out tonight.
I can say though that a new threat is going to come into play, and not just one faction, either... So will Rome...
Invasio Barbororum Flagelum Dei is the mod, the best for late Rome out there imho.
EDIT: Just fyi, tomorrow Chapter III will rock your socks... lets just say alot happens in a short timeframe,...
well I could sing praises about RS, but I've done it so much myself and everyone else who's played it as well, that it would be like telling the governator he's gotta kick butt austrian accent.

Chapter II Part 2: Last stand of the Franks
Constantine advanced right away towards the Franks' army approaching from the north. It was still unaware of the capture of the city, and all the scouts...

Legio XV Appollanaris; For one, I have fought with them from Britannia to Judea, and all ten cohorts have double gold chevrons. The general with them has the most stars of my army, and they have...
Well the screens from the first chapter are corrupt. They are non-existent. This, friends and readers, sucks, but I will post chapter two WITH SCREENS! promise...
CHAPTER II IS EMINENT!
Thank you for your input mort!
The tactics I use tend to be all-or-nothing quite often. For one, when I'm engaged in full-stack on full-stack battles, it tends to be rather epic. in IBFD and RS,...
That it is; in my WRE campaign I was forced to Abandon Africa altogether, destroy all the buildings there (both for money and so that the facilities to fight me wouldn't fall into the hands of...
Aye, will this be included in 7.04 or when will it be ready to download?
@ Lord Romanus III: Just last night I started a campaign up as Constantine the Usurper and didn't lose a single engagement. However, I retreated a few times and it registered as losses. So I guess...
Sorry there's no screenshots yet. I had a bunch emailed to me at work by my lovely wife, but there was a problem with yahoo im and even though I'd saved 29 of 30 to teh computer, it had an error on...

Constantine ate his breakfast quickly. Word was coming in every day from his agents in Italy, and all of them revolved...
The AAR for Constantine the Usurper's Rise to Power has begun!
I played from 410 through 427 AD last night. The house rules for this campaign are the following:
-Buccelari Units are only...
Leonidas,
Thanks for reading and for the feedback.
Yes, by all means try it. I never, EVER put archers in my front line until fairly recently. I thought it was too exposing. But if you have a...
Well then, that's what I have for you!!!
This chapter will involve tactical Maneuvering over any terrain when you're attacking, with any forces you may have.
First, as usual before battle,...
Alrighty, well Here's the deal; I've played, as before stated, the pre-campaign on Constantius, and between work and family, I've had time to start a strategy to play by. The house rules, the person...
erm, I've had maybe one or two CTD's in two or so months of gameplay. Better than any other mod out there imo.
If you want screenshots, I have a bunch posted in my WRE AAR in the AAR sub-forum.
...
Thanks, Leonidas.
For chapter two I cannot resist the temptation to go into details on some of my personal successful maneuvers. Please note that in most of these battles I post of my maneuvers,...
Salve (greetings) to all. I hope this will help you in your tyrannical conquest of the world, or your noble struggle to stave off foreign invasions of your lands (A common reality in mods such as RS...
