[Zarax]

Coming soon to XC:

As Seleucid emperor you seriously won't want the east to rebel from you, otherwise something nasty will happen:

[Scutarii]

How'd you do that Zarax? Emergent factions? Hey, combined with the Prov Campaign for Parthia, you can still play them at 280 BC too, so that's a great idea.

[Hopit]

now you got my attention with that mod... (have to try when it comes out)

The good old spawned_on_rebellion trigger for Parthia, while Baktria will use the romano-british trick.
Although I didn't balance yet let me assure you that whatever you do you will always find yourself short on one front, basically forcing you to decide which side of your empire is more valuable...

[Scutarii]

I was gonna say something about the romano-british. That's a much more realistic situation for TSE, since Baktria/Parthia shouldn't really exist until... 250-ish, I think. Will Parthia continue spawning if you allow them to rebel, kill them off, and then let he city rebel again?

now you got my attention with that mod...

Me too, its a brilliant way of setting up the east.

[Zarax]

I don't really know about that, guess I will need to test it...
I might upload some alpha code for beta testing if anyone is interested.

The only problem with having Parthia spawn on rebellion is A) it might mess with Baktria emerging, and B) they could be spawned in the west.

Still, great work!

[Zarax]

Well, it's very unlikely that you won't get a rebellion east very soon (especially marakanda is a trouble spot), we'll see how baktria will be influenced.
In BI there didn't seem to be a problem with a shadow faction + romano-british so hopefully it will go smoothly for us too.

[CaesarVincens]

Well, we'll see how it goes.

I just had my biggest, ugliest victory ever in XC after fighting the elite stack of troops that spawned in Syracuse after I laid siege to it.

I started with a full stack myself...

I am wishing the Romans were a bit smarter in my campaign, after having cut Spain off they have been doing exactly what I had hoped they would do and that is throw everything at rejoining their trade routes. There is nothing very much heroic about these victories as for the most part the same tactics work every time during each sally battle and at each city, just depends on which direction the besieging army is facing that city. Although it's very satisfying in one way that it is not more difficult for me to defeat them, in one way I can't help but feel sorry for the Romans that their Generals never learn. I guess there is not much else they can do and they are at least attacking me, but it's not much good to them losing almost every stack the turn they lay siege, the lemmings





Typical tactics against the Romans, for all sally battles and most field battles too. 90% of these battles end with the Roman army having melted away, on average the Romans take 96% casualties.





Yet another confirmation of my belief that the Roman leadership is completely incompetent, all those ships and not one is blockading me

[Dog Fart]

I love a good bridge battle.

[Scutarii]

Somehow I think you may have an advantage...

[Dog Fart]

Nah, they had me against the ropes the whole time.

[Spartan198]

I love a good bridge battle.

If only we could play them in custom battle (wink wink, Dime ).

[Total Roach]

Just had a huge battle in a thick forest with Germania, I attacked them not really seeing the terrain properly (it didn't look that bad) 1st battle in a while I was actually a bit worried when I saw the map. What a fight it was, hope the 1st 2 screens give you some idea of the battle:

You can either push the Print Screen button (PrtScr) and you'll find your screen in C:/Program Files/Activision/RTW/tga.
Or you can downlaod a program called fraps. Or anyother screen shot program.

Press Prntscreen, open Paint, press CTRL-V and save the image that pastes itself onto your paper. Upload the pic to an image site like photobucket or imageshack (Google them), and then use the code underneath with [IMG] tags. (Forum code)
