[Submod PROPOSAL]The Year of the Four Emperors AD69

[vikior]

Wow! I just LOVE the civil wars in Rome. All those treasons and alliances.... lovely, it's just lovely to have someone to make a mod like this. Roma Surrectum II is the best mod in the entire Total War Series. After I played Roma Surrectum II all other mods felt....lame. And this (sub)mod makes it even better. About that recruitment... I think that you shloud keep the 0 turn recruitment. It wloud be more realistic. Otherwise it wloud take you a decade just to train and equip an army. I was speechles when I saw this tread. I was praying that it won't remain just a proposal. Please, PLEASE finish it.

All true Roman fans would love this!

......... It wloud be more realistic. Otherwise it wloud take you a decade just to train and equip an army. .......

No it certainly wouldn't - quite the opposite in fact. The ability to obtain a new legion faster is completely possible just by having more settlements to recruit from - which is entirely realistic.

This sub-mod, however - brilliant idea!

Well some nice replies there. We are having 1 turn recruitment because Rome is already disgustingly powerful at this point,we will also have a script like in IB:SAI so that instead of Vespasian having to conquer all of the Empire he simply has to kill Vespasian in battle and capture Rome.
In terms of factions for the first release we are focusing on the two Roman factions but we also will be changing the Boii to the Chattii and the Cimbri will be another large German faction. The Belgae will become the Celts of Scotland.
Obviously Parthia will be a major player.
Thats enough for now in terms of factions.

And one other thing which I won't say much about....


Trajan.

So two Germans, Parthia, Romans, Picts? What about Dacia ? And you can keep Sarmations, and what about Armenia?

[Predator1994]

Dacia, by that time, would have been p powerful nation that pose a real threat to the Romans.It is said that, in the winter, when the Danube would freez, they would pillage the Roman cities in Moesia.They should have a great importance and not to be neglected.
Jezza, hope you pull this off.

Predator!

As do I We do intend to have quite a few Dacian stacks etc roaming about causing trouble at the start,they will be quite the pest to Rome.

@Demetrius Yes Armenia will be in it as will obviously Dacia but as I said I didn't mention all of them. For the initial release,whenever that is,we may just have the Roman Factions (Imperium Romanum (Vespasian) and Imperium Vitellae (Vitellius) as playable,though the three other factions which we will be playing the most (non Roman) focus will be the Chattii,Dacia and Parthia.




A quick shout out here,we could do with a dedicated historian/researcher. This is not the most tasking job but an important one nonetheless,things like the territories which should be given to each faction,various rebellions around,the state of the Batavians at this point. You know,various things like that. Now I must be serious when I saw we aren't in need of someone who is interested and thinks they'll google it. We NEED someone with prior knowledge of the period with good concise sources that don't include a dependence on Wikipedia.


One last thing.
Once development is really steaming ahead I will have this thread locked and create a more concise,informative thread.

Many Thanks,Jezza.

Damn, I was hoping that there will be 0 turn recruitment. Now I'm sad . Well I will have no choice but to play it on 1 turn campaigns. But I have a suggestion. In one mod there is a script that activates once you recruit general's cavalry in a city. When you do that, it gives you a legion. It wloud be cool to have it here. Well, at least that's my opinion.
Just go on and finish this awesomness.

Good luck with this project! We really need more mods like this which are set in the Principate era!

I think they're at work....they certainly have access to the latest beta files we're working with.
