RS 2.6 Issues and Problems:

[Pope Gregorius I]

anyone have an answer on the game only using the one quote? thanks

Strange - all looks good to me....maybe something to do with your video card struggling? Can sometimes be the case when you see weird artefacts like that.

Hmm.. could be, I don't have what you would call a "gaming rig" or anything, but it works well enough and I don't really have any lag or other problems with crashes and what not. Oh, well it's a minor issue anyways I can live with it. I was using Play_One_turn, Macedonians, alex.exe.

Dvk mentioned sometime in the past that the rotation between quotes are somewhat connected to some CTDs, so that's why we have a fixed one.

Hello.

When I try and load Pontus campaign it loads a northern France faction

ah ok thanks for the info, any info on the launcher not saving the preferences and options, like the post-Marian general and hi-res units?

[Kondor999]

Same thing for me. Looks like Pontus=Belgae until they fix it. BTW, Belgae plays as Belgae (I was sorta hoping I could play Pontus that way, but no-go).

UPDATE: Just saw this on the readme for 2.6:

-The pontus 0 turn campaign starts a Belgae campaign, a fix will be released as soon as possible.

Is the pontus 0 turn campaign starting a belgae campaign or is that just for me?
And yes winrar can't use the original file, but 7zip could.

been told choosing "post marian generals" could result in crashs lateron the campagn, is that right?

[KOCEMON]

I have a big problem n 2.6 I have a never ending 1st rebellion everytime it ends new uprise coming up I got bored of it... Can anyone help to solve this problem please?

[Ninjaheman]

The preferences tab has some interesting options within it but most are very ambiguous and vague or just straight up make no sense to a laymen like me. Only some of the options are self explanatory. I've scoured the forums (perhaps not hard enough) for a list on what each and every one of these 'preference' tab options does to no avail.

Many thanks ahead of time.

Does Alex-TW.exe ever do sea landings? I play Rome 1-tun and Rome is at war with Carthage for a very long time, but Carthage has never tried to land on Sicily or Corsica. They sometimes block ports, but I have never seen them building strong navy. They show bigger interest in Gallaeci conquest than fighting Rome.

I'm getting a ctd every time I see a unit of naked fanatics in a battle.
Everthing works fine when I disband them.

So what's causing this?
And yes the Unit shaders are on .

[Zydrius]

I don't know the issue, but try to change this: In RS laucher select "Edit RS II preferences" (left bottom corner). Then click "Other RS II parameters". Check the 'Modesty" line and try to change values between 'Yes' and 'No'. Maybe that would help. I play with "Modesty - No" and have no problems. Though I have never had Naked fanatics in my army - only fought against them in AI armies.

one thing I have noticed is that on my zero turn campaigns, I can only recruit one unit at a time now. I remember 2.5, you could recruit nearly a whole legion in one single turn. is this a deliberate change or am I missing something?

[odyseusz79]

I started a new campaign as Rome, with Alex, huge units. I ran into the same problem as before - the first battle (the pre-set ambush) produced a CTD when I tried to play it on the tactical map.

I read that this was supposed to be fixed via a descr_formation_ai.txt change, but I guess it didn't work for me. I went into that file, found the "ambush" formation, and then the only thing I did is change the max_unit_width from 4 to 8. That's it. I expected it to make the column formation shorter and wider. It did that, and it fixed the CTD. I was finally able to properly lose that battle.

[Scipio praeditus]

So, I started a one turn Rome campaign, large units M/M as advised.
Defeated Hannibal first turn, crushed the Capuan rebellion + Tarentum within two turns of it occuring, didn't recruit any new units and abandoned the two settlements outside of Italy (Emporium and Dirrachium, or whatever), one out of every three battles was a heroic victory.
After about six or seven turns I was making 40K a turn and was able to build whatever I wanted in any settlement.

I love RS, but the game was certainly not balanced around M/M, H/H more likely...

EDIT: BI by the way.
I must say that the point at which units start to flee is a lot more balanced now, no more levies fighting to the last man, I'll have to try a H/H campaign soon.

[Abreas]

I scanned through this thread but didn't see it asked so here goes. I'm post-imperial reform in my Rome campaign, and in the campus martius building it says I'll be able to recruit certain auxiliaries (I assumed to replace the old ally units). When I built it though they weren't available, although the legatus and the legions are recuitable, and the old ally units were still there. Thought maybe the description was just wrong, but after building the curia hostilia I still didn't get any auxiliary units. Did I miss something? I'm almost certain Arretium and Emporiae are annexed, so I can't think of anything . . .

[Zumuk]

@AbreasDid you try giving them citizenship instead of annexing them?

[Sertorio]

The Imperial Reforms are two-Phased, Auxiliaries are only available when you build the Circus Maximus at Rome.

[Abreas]

Ah! Thanks for the help!

............

It was, I promise. There are experienced players who seem to play in a certain style that do very well in Battles - and there are others who aren't. M/M seeks to find a balance, so players have somewhere to go. Me, I now prefer H/M for Rome.

That said - have you made any Mods yourself or have chosen not to use the Garrison script (for example)? Such choices will make BIG changes to your experience(s).
