RS II: Questions, Suggestions & Discussion

[MarcusTullius]

Welcome to Roma Surrectum II! This is the official thread for everyone to discuss the mod and fire any questions you have at the dev team!

As apple said in the old 1.6 thread....remember to play nice!

First proplem. Error message saying right on the start up that there's a generic error, cannot find some elephants. Incase that I have to download a new file then wich one is it or do I have to download all of them?
Also for some reason the setup brogram does not seem to work on secon time when trying to install and overwrite the previous files. Do I have to uninstal first and how do I do that?

EDIT: The message goes. Unable to find skeleton 'fs_s1_forest_elephant_javelinrider'

Sorry if this is and propaply is a wrong thread but there seems to be no bugs thread.

"Faction Intro movies - Available in Separate Download"! When will they be released the faction intro movies ?

[Straticus]

Even though I have set the Adviser to NONE, it still pops out of the left top corner when I click on a settlement or a stack. Anyone else seeing this?

A few questions after my first tentative campaigns:

1) Why non-roman modfoldered campaigns: lurking trough the files, it seems only the romani get a specific EDU with increased cost/upkeep for the player, and all factions get a specific EDB with roughly pop growth and public order cut from certain buildings for the player.
Was creating a folder for each campaign really worth the bother, aside for the romans?

2) Isn't the treasury building over the top? I mean ok the mod is just out and i've heard in late game i'll be begging santa klaus for money. But ... already in the first few turns there is absolutely no economy problem, and it's essentially a huge rush with no-problemo unit-pumping.

3) Why is the former persian empire structurally underdevelopped? From Pergamum to Persepolis, one has to look very hard to find a decent road network. Where is the persian royal road for example? Seems to me the middle east and mesopotamia were highly developped areas, but in this mod, everything needs to be build from scratch.

Aside from that map colors really need some tweaking, i'm on it

Thanks for the answers.

Yes you need to click on her everytime you start a new game/reload your save as clicking her starts/restarts the background script


@ siegfriedfr 1. they all need their own as the custom DMB really affects the outcome of the game as it skrinks your income,and raises the income of the your factions traditional enemies
2. no it most definitly is not as yes in the very early years of your campagin you should have tonnes but if you rush, or even just focus on military then as soon as you take your first area outside your home your income is going to fall drasticly. Even if you invest a tonne in your economy as soon as you start to expand your economy will drop just it will drop slower and not as severly
3.as to the persian royal road it is representes as a building that if other buildings are inplace (like way stations) will providea an added tax bonus. Also it would not be balanced for an area like that to start with a large system of advanced roads.

i'm maybe missing something here but i'm totally lost in all the new things which the game throws at me. could we get a manual or guide for city development and character development? or is there already such a thing and am i not finding it?

i have no idea about priorities and smart choices for cities. do i make arretium an economic city asap? loads of small buildings which make the city specialized and i'm unsure where to start.
same with characters, calvin's preview has 'one year military service' as a trait, but i'm not seeing that trait in my game so far. do i have to keep generals out of cities and in the field with their legion? can i safely rest a legion with general in a city without him gaining management and -command traits?

i'd like to 'rtfm' except there doesn't seem to be one

as to calvin's trait system there are lots of moniter traits you can't see because they are hidden. As to what to build you will find what you want build as you get the feel of this mod my quick tip is to invest heavily in your economy, with only a few military bases and in the early game you really only need rome as a military production place

[Bosje]

thanks

yeah i'll understand more as i play a while and i'll mess up this first campaign and start a fresh one where i'll do better. as usual. it's just that i miss those nice guides on the RS1 forum

ps the rebellion is unavoidable, i presume? i mean i just killed hannibal and his army on the first turn and still capua went to the dark side

[TheBruce]

I have the same problem

[alextheseleucid]

why don't the custom battles work? i chose "battles only" when launching the game, and set up the custom battle, but when i clicked start it just went back to the faction selection screen

[apple]

Np mate.

everything else works, though

Strange. Post a thread about it in the RS 2 technical forum so that we can solve it.

[Delysid]

Is there a 1 turn recruitment option in RS2?
*edit* Whoops found it, sorry for trigger happy forum posting

[Dagda]

It seems Nicomedia is not exporting its wine resource (and no bonus from the wine trade building). It might be too close to the coast?

[fergy1981]

well I have play Roma Surrectum and it was great. Now I wanna play RS2 but I'm having a hard time finding where to download, I was looking at filefront but I can't find it there. Can someone help me please

[Brusilov]

Guys, after I clicked on single player, all i could see is custom and historical battles. How do I actually start the game? Oh also, my launcher only shows the labels for 1 and 2 but not the rest, they are all grayed out.

Are you referring to the numbers that are shown on the launcher screen in the release thread or something else?

If you want to play a campaign you need to select the faction specific option eg Rome or Carthage on the launcher. If you want to play 1-turn recruitment then you need to select that option.

I'm afraid we're not mind readers so that's the best advice I can give.

I have now the stuff in the right file now and the UAC is off now, and I put the notes in for the game so I can play, yet I still get the error...I'm beginning to think this game just hates me.

It's best to turn off UAC and then install the game and not install the game and then turn off UAC.

Have a look in the Release Thread under the Download heading - the second one. The links are still there: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=386559

Seems to be a problem with consistency between father and son, regarding social class and greek/spartan etc traits. Could someone have a look at this?
