Let's Play of Somnium Apostatae Iuliani

[Slydessertfox]

So at a forum called Unillogical.com, we decided to create a community youtube channel. Since I've always loved this mod (though have never been able to finish a campaign ), I decided to Let's Play it for the channel. I figured I'd post it here.

Anyway, I'd like to thank the modding team for Somnium Apostatae Iuliani, because it really is a fantastic mod, one of the best mods out there.

Here's the first four parts for those interested in the let's play:

It's about damn time someone did one of these! Kudos to you my friend.

[BroskiDerpman]

Yes! Huzzah!

Thanks, I was shocked myself when I found out there were no Let's plays of this mod.

I've oft wondered the same thing, though we do have our fair share of AAR's...

Seriously though, nice job with the LP! I do have a question though, how come some of your building cards look different in the 361 campaign?

Probably because he is playing with the all in one edition download which incorporated some changes by Joar.

A great initiative, I'm looking forward to checking these out!

Thank you. And like Julianus Heraclius said, I assume it has something to do with having downloaded the all in one edition.

Yes, that is correct.

Indeed, it appears I missed out on that "new" edition lol! Looks great.

[Slydessertfox]

Yeah, it does lol. Btw, your AAR was one of the main reasons I re-downloaded this mod after taking a long break from RTW Mods.

[Knonfoda]

Really? Awh...

I'm halfway through the episodes, I watch them on lunch break. I can't wait to see what's coming next!

EDIT: OK, watched part three, can't wait for you to end the turn, that's when things get interesting. By way of feedback by the way, there's a lot of microphone feedback, maybe you should consider putting the mic farther away somewhat if that is possible? Other than that, its really good!

I missed that one, too! Time to download it and reinstall SAI... Nice series, Slydessertfox!

[Slydessertfox]

Thanks guys. @Knonfoda, I'll make sure to play around with my mic before I record next time to try to limit the static.

Anyway, next few parts are up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUFi-gcdltw

Nice, though I must say I secretly giggled to myself when I saw you taking on those Quadi armies with what you had lol, defeat was assured from the beginning.

Honestly, JH made them the bane of every Roman player at the start of the campaign. Can't think of a better way of putting you into the boots of a late Roman commander!

[Slydessertfox]

Yeah, I had to learn that the hard way...

[GeorgiBG]

Nice Let's Play. I'm starting it now but I hope that you fixed the sound problems with this microphone speaking.

[Slydessertfox]

Yeah I did. Though I have some bad news: I made the mistake of installing RS2 into the wrong folder ( I have like 3 RTW folders, so I can have a few different mods installed). It corrupted Somnium Apostatae Iuliani, so I ended up having to reinstall it and lost the save. Since I was only like 3-4 turns into it, restarting it and just picking up recording where I last left off won't be a problem.

However, for whatever reason, the sound won't work on the game (like no sound at all). I tried uninstalling the mods soundtrack in the options (or preferences, whichever one those things are in) and reinstalling the vanilla music, but still no dice. So if anyone can help me fix that, it will be greatly appreciated.

[Knonfoda]

Funny, I got the exact same problem installing RSII. I think RS II and IBSAI's "soundmod" don't work well together. Reinstalling the soundmod then gave me that problem (no sound) with EB too. My solution was to install it in a completely different game folder (ie, copy the entire contents of a clean vanilla RTW folder somewhere, and then just install IBSAI there and it works fine. Saves also can't really get "corrupted" unless you delete them, and you should be able to take them from one folder to the next without any issues.

Also, I do think it says on the RSII website it is not a mod foldered mod, ie it won't work alongside other mods, so that could be the problem too.

[Slydessertfox]

Well like I said, the problem with the sound came after I reinstalled RTW and IBSAI. So,I basically have a clean install of RTW aside from IBSAI.

[Slydessertfox]

Okay, so it turns out I accidentally had the sound muted...I feel like an idiot lol.
