Tried RoTR and I'm getting the same thing. That launcher is showing a message like 'We ran into an error we didn't expect. Your files and status might be out of sync. Please let us know about the...

Hey guys

I've followed the installation instructions, but it does not seem to work. I launch the game via the launcher, it gives me vanilla Empire except that the menu's colouring is slightly...

I thought this was only for Rome TW, not M2?

Depends what they could do, and if the AI could use them effectively.

Indeed. Rome is not hesitating at all to launch naval invasions. They're not exactly playing ruthlessly, they seem to abandon easy sieges in my current campaign, but the getting across the water part...

Which is historical enough.

Rome not even getting to Sicily is a problem. Rome being unable to deal with its own deserters, and Rome not challenging the rising power of Carthage as a dire threat...

The tactical superiority of Roman heavy infantry is rather negated when it has severe strategic disadvantages of being surrounded by extremely strong eleutheroi. Carthage can build an income and...

And here I thought you might have some character creator thing under your hat.

The real question is how did you make that?

Been playing through a Makedonia campaign, more or less following the route of conquest of Phillip/Alexander. Took Thrace, Asia Minor, Phoenicia, and now Egypt, destroying the Ptolemies.

All that...

1. As far as I understand it, the mod is balanced for normal/normal... so play on that?

2. There's a couple of tricks you can use. You could sneak an army or two across from Greece to Cyrene, then...

Protip: Take Sicily, get peace, build up better armies, then declare war by having those armies land in Africa.

Late Roman Units are :wub:ing gangster.

I don't think javelins are overpowered, I think they appear so due to the function of Total War casualties. There is no 'injured' status for troops. They're either combat-capable or dead, especially...

Balancing the negative effects are a complete pain in the bollocks sometimes, but if you have the money to build both what you want and what you need to balance the negatives, you can make some truly...

Hannibal beats all of them ;)

Romans + elephants + Cretan archers

I'm not sure that Carthage, a faction that can really put the hurt on with its navies due to the geography of foes it faces, can be compared with the Gallic factions, whom are much better served just...

In fact, you might want an Auxiliary Barracks in Latium somewhere, until you deplete the foreigner population at least. Generally, there aren't enough plebs to get the job done in my experience....

Nice plug haha

Also make sure that outdated mods are enabled.

It allows you to tune income versus defence versus PO versus population according to the needs of the province in question. I use all three types, depending on what I'm looking for.

Libraries take a city slot, which is usually far more economically valuable. You can build a temple anywhere. As for better PO bonuses, I don't find them necessary most of the time. Sometimes I want...

I don't think I've used any other kind of temple except the occasional Grove one for particularly troublesome provinces. One temple of Athena doesn't do much for research, but you can build them...

This explains why my Kretans are tearing into medium units like a fat man does a burger.

The others weren't exactly stellar at their jobs though. One of the many Hastrubals got his ass kicked after coming over the Alps if memory serves.

...Damn, that's not a bad idea either.

Interesting factor that I completely forgot about: Morale.

Alexander wins out in that category too.

Attack that faction in Galicia (north-western corner of Iberia).
Then attack the faction that holds the provinces direct east of it, until you consolidate the entirety of Iberia, then try and...

Well, if you can balance the public order and squalor, you can build up some pretty tasty income.

I've always found this strange. My laptop is utterly terrible, yet it runs DeI pretty much at the same speed as vanilla Rome 2.

I'm not sure 'avoiding pitched battle' describes his strategy very well. Avoiding it when it didn't suit him, religiously so, sure. The man went very far to create the conditions for pitched battles...

Once you have all the slots in a settlement, the growth function of latrines becomes useless.

Yeah, Alesia is what I'm referring to.

That's likely an issue you'd need to take up with the submodder.

It having a state horse shot or killed out from under you was a thing to boast about in Roman noble circles. I don't suspect such a thing indicates that they fought on foot very often. The only...

I'm glad to see the strategy is effective. Give Napoleon the credit, I thought of the idea after watching something about Austerlitz haha

This looks much more correct, but also more practical than my 'perfect' one. To the point I'm stealing it for my own campaign.

Yeah, it's more than a sixth. I was very sleepy when I made that reply haha

The Agrianians and Thracians skirmished and fought directly depending on the circumstance. Unfortunately, the game...

My logic is that a thinner line makes more attacks per minute, which tires them faster, whereas increasing the ranks holds more back out of combat. I've always assumed that the fatigue in combat...
