    They cant. I dont remember my first either. Maybe if I take mass amounts of time and search back through the cemetary I can find it.

    Wait, I found mine.

    Im going to list the realistic provincial occupancy of the era of RTW.

    The Seleucid Empire.
    Make Seleukia capitol.
    Create new province in Babylonia and have the city named Ctesiphon located on upper Euphrates. This was a city on the Royal Road that had great effect on the Empires economy. Same location as the older city of Oris.
    Split Syria and in southerb portion put the city of Antigonia, give it to the Seleucians. This city was founded by Alexander the Great and had significant importance on the growth of Antioch. founded in 328 BCE.
    Give regions of Elymais, Persis, Carmania, Gedrosia, Arachosia, Drangiana, Khorasan, and Media to the Seleucians.
    Take away Cilicia, Psidia, Lydia, and Phrygia. (Seleucians took most of Asia Minor 5 years later) And Coele Syria.

    Ptolomaic Empire.
    Give Pamphylia, Lycia, Rhodos, Phooenicia Minor and Coele Syria. Ptolomaics took Coele Syria 3 years before the start date.
    Split Phoenicia and put in the north portion the city of Pieria Seleukia and give it to the Ptolomaics. (Seleucos I Nicator founded this city and almost immedeately lost it to the Ptolomaics. Seleucid Empire retook it in 214 BC when they built a strong navy).

    Pontus
    Give Bythania and Galaticus.

    Parthia
    Give Sogdiana, Bactra, and Atropatene. (Parthia didnt exist until 247 BCE but you shouldnt take them out completely.
    Take away Elymais, Persis, khorasan, and Media.

    -------------------------------------------
    Give Byzantium to the Greak Cities.
    Make Phrygia strong to represent Pergamum's strong free independence. Have them be able to hold their own.

    -------------------------------------------
    Well, this infornmation was gathered by extensive research by myself because of a strong interest in the Near east. I hope you use this infornmation in your Rome Total Realism mod because that was how it was back then (270 BCE).

    I have no idea about my first post, but it was probably a thread asking for help installing RTR. Of which they didn't tell me anything but the obvious, however, I did figure it out on my own.

    I am not strong in Latin, and my little dictionary doesn’t help, but my sources (for instance Antonio Arribas, Os Iberos, Verbo, 1967 – Portuguese translation from The Iberians, Thames and Hudson, 1964) refer to them as caetratus and not ceatari.
    I think that caetratus is singular, the plural should be caetratii.
    But someone who knows Latin could help here.
    the plural is caetrati *wink*

    the game kinda messed up everyones general conception of singular and plural, as it is...Julii is ok...Scipii is practically heresy, it should be along the lines of Scipiones (Plural of Scipio)...and Brutii should be Bruti (plural of Brutus)

    My first post was in the Existence of God thread... far back in my post count... and I can't be bothered trawling that thread for it.

    My first thread however was on "Youth and Politics", about 2 days after I joined, then I worked out how to create a tpic on a hot button issue and the second was on Gay Marriage

    Is there a way to look up your first post?

    anyway, I think it was either an RTR question or some political debate, not quite sure

    My first post ever was when I made my own thread showing off one of the first RTW movies I ever made. It was 15 minutes long and it showed a multiplayer battle between Parthia and Macedon, featuring RTR 6.0.

    Sadly, that thread is now long gone. I told Proximus to close it a few months ago and he threw it into the abyss.

    I cannot be 100% sure, but I think it might have been in a thread about the Rus and their origin. tBP was there as I remember it.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    Your first post if my method is correct.


    As it turns out, it is really easy to find your first post I believe. Go to search, than advanced search. Do post by you, and sort by post date, but in ascending order. First post should be it.
