Mod...

[Kiba1177]

I'm looking for a mod focusing on the empire, does this one go into detail? If not, are there any others?

[Salvor Hardin]

Unfortunately, although there are plans to portray some interesting events of the Empire, we are still in the Late Republic. I guess that the best option is Invasio Barbarorum (IBFD) and its spin-offs.

[florin80]

Much as I know, besides the mods that focus on the late empire/late antiquity, there are only mods that reach the early empire(first century ad) starting from the republican era. Like Res Gestae, Roma Surrectum and I think SPQR.

[Kiba1177]

So there arent any that touch Augustus, Tiberius, Cladius, or Nero?

[florin80]

Those that I`ve enumerated and many others reach 1 ad or go further. So, yes, they "touch" those emperors you`ve listed. But they all start in the Republic. Plus I`m not sure whether you`re actually looking for a role playing game with historical characters and missions like the frre mods are. If that`s what you want the number of mods with these kind of settings are few. Most mods just let the player do whatever he wants and since they span over many centuries it`s hard or impossible to make the game in its later stages to reflect the real history.

How is life in the dream job?

If you are bored let me know. Salvor and I are still working away together. A few KA special's for Marius-Sulla would be an unexpexted and welcome bonus

[jackwei]

I think the year of four emperors would of been good with the Rise of Vespasian to the throne of Rome, however i am not sure since it is a very short reign unless it could start with the Jewish Revolt in 66AD and finish at the time of the Batavian Revolt in 70AD. Prehaps You use turns instead of Years for the campaign.

After all i think it would be very popular and lots of missions would occur too

I agree. It is a very interesting time period and there are some gorgeous Imperial units (Ferres' and Prometheus' come to my mind at first thought) demanding a mod devoted to them. As you say, the timeline is very short, but we could add more than 4 turns per year. And it was considered in the original plan for the FRRE project so, who knows, perhaps after Marius vs. Sulla...

@King Arthur: nice to see you around. We have missed you and your art

[bucellarii]

Great stuff, I'm really pleased for you

I will PM you buddy on Friday or Saturday with a few suggestions

Yeah i think that would be excellent for the first time a mod truly devoted a great time in the Imperial Era with the fall of Nero, Jewish Revolt, Batvian Rebellion and the Rise of Vespasian.
Maybe the timeline could go as far the death of Vespasian to make the mod more interesting indeed, since you could Arigcola and try to complete the conquest of Britain too.

Starts 66AD and ends 79AD or so. I like Vespasian he was a very good Roman Military Commander and a Great Roman Emperor who ended the civil wars and provide stability, wealth and propersity to the Roman Empire.

Yeah...... You could make the legions just like those in RS......
And Maybe like Marius vs. Sulla, you could make a separate campaign for the Jewish Revolt and the civil war....????
