Roma Surrectum 2 Faction Preview - The Dacians

[Arnspac]

Thanks for the link - it is very interesting. And your units are excellent.

Glad you did.
You probably noticed quite quickly that two individuals had very, shall we say, opposite opinions. This also can lead researchers to scratch their heads and say...'O... K....what is the truth here and should I use this?' :hmmm:

During the Cimbri work-up I posted four to five descriptions of the same unit for tone, that all varied somewhat from different authors. What do you do? Take the most accepted description and run with it.

This however was, as you pointed out, a very confusing scenario, which I hope has been clarified. At least until the next historian or author prints 'their' scenario.

I liken it to the pronunciation of CIM-BRI

Webster's - sim-bre

History Channel ( ROME - Rise and Fall of an Empire )- kim-bre

Excellent work on Dacia! This faction has been neglected far too often. I'm looking foward to this.

[pacco]

Great work guys!!!

Oh no they have horse archers, this will make to game way to easy when playing them...

The rest seems fine though.

Come on, stop being so negative.
You mustn't recruit any horse archers by the way.

@Nick_Since_1985
Is there anything on TWC that you like? :hmmm:

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Hehehe.

I shall personally love smashing the Daci to pieces with the iron Syntagmae of the Hellenes. If not actually playing them.

I give my opinion about horse archers and suddenly I don't like TWC, right...

Then just do what most players would do - don't ue them or use them in limited numbers.

Surely, that's not too hard to do?

[AnthoniusII]

One of the best previews ever saw!
I wish i can create something scimilar for the next CBUR release!
Exelent is a small word for the work here!

[apple]

Arnspac put much effort into this preview.

[Arnspac]

On behalf of all the RS II Team, thank you for the kind words.
My efforts pale in comparison to the rest of the work being done around here by all the members.

Exactly -- personally I try to play with historical army compositions, and the Dacians would have fielded an infantry heavy army. Sure, you could 'cheat' and recruit lots of horse archers, but where's the fun in that? Use them sparingly, as a special elite unit, and you will have both the challenge of a good campaign and the fun of a unique and diverse unit roster...

And use general cam. Trying to use horse archer armies with general cam is an absolute nightmare

[Brusilov]

I would imagine using the 'general cam' against a HA army would also be a nightmare.....

[Calvin]

True But that's what makes general cam so fun! Greatly adds to the challenge

[Caligula Caesar]

The units are just... wow! I particularly like the plate armour. It is clear that a lot of time and effort has been put into the skinning.

The horses and the saddlecloths (or whatever they are called) are also very good. I particularly like the fact that the thing actually hangs down of the general unit (another excellent unit). Good work on 3ds max!

I do have to wonder, though... how are you going to deal with the hidden resource problem? I suppose you could get 2*X-1 for every hidden resource you use, but the amount that you have diversified the units, even that will be a tight fit. I would hate to lose out on using some of those units because of CA's silly restrictions.

Which hidden resource problem are you referring to?

[Caligula Caesar]

I mean the fact that there aren't enough of them...
