question about play RS2.5

[sendakgg]

Hi everybody, i am new to here,
i download RomeSurrectum 2.0 (upgrade to 2.5) recently.
i play about 20 hours , i have few question to ask
----------------------------------------------------
1.How can i recruit troops in other cities ?
i play 0 turn Roma, when game initial
there are 3 cities (Roma, Arretium ,Ariminum) where can recurit
roman triarii,polybian republic legion ,allied equites,....)
the others only can recurit (allied velite or roma velite)

i try to build all the building. but it still can not recruit other troops in other cities.
(i modified building to build in 1 turn, modified a lot of money to build all ...)

i try to take down carthage,i think it is a large_city
but it can only recurit ships

i read the export_desc_building.txt
i think the recurit system is changed to base on government building such like
proconsuls's villa , not base on barracks.
but i compare two of Rome cities, they both has government's building. it is strange,
one of them can recruit legion, the other can't .

i also notice there are many things changed in RS2.
so can someone teach me how to build normal legion(not special legion) in other cities?
or just tell me it can't. we must recurit legion in Rome, and sent them to far distant
enemy land.

---------------------------------------------------------
2. Does RS2 limit the troops type for every faction?
it seems that factions in RS2 only have few different troops (6~8)
not like RTW factions has 16-18 different type troops. (most of them are useless..)

the mercenary system is great ! RS2 add many kinds of mercenaries, this is
total different from RTW.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
3.for now i still can't figure out what purpose of some buildings such like:
A:Government Determination
i build it , but it did not appear new thing or change something.

B:Grain storage facility
i build it , it didn't change anything, or someone can tell me it change something
where ?

C:First Aid center
does this building can cure more wound soilders ? when battle occur near the city?

well, RS2 is great and worth to learn.

--------------------------------------
4.Can battle always in daytime ?
i would like to see every soilders in battle filed. i need more sun light ...


--------------------------------------
5.traditional empire campaign
it seems that i can't play traditional RTW empire campaign ?
RS2 divide to many faction own campaign, which select from launch program.
there is another 1-turn campaign, it can select 8 different factions except Rome , Why ?

1. The city needs to be granted citizenship (build Tribal Justice and Government Determination to unlock Citizenship) and build up to the last Roman military building tier. The military buildings are the Roman Oppidum and that. You may need to build Army Supplies also, if you're outside of Italy.

2. RTW itself limits the amount of troops you can get. Rome doesn't have a lot of unique units at the start of the game, but they do later on.

3. A. You need government determination and tribal justice to build more.

B. Your city musn't be large enough to build the next tier. Or maybe you need a certain level of farming. Anyway, after you build the facility you can import or export grain, with different bonuses.

C. No. Only does the effects it shows you when you right click on it.

4. Maybe someone else can help with that? I don't have any problems with sunlight meself.

5. Say that again would ya?

He means that he can't start a campaign like in vanilla where all factions are on one screen and where you can select them. Well, the mod was made like that. It's quicker to start a campaign like that. Only need to select a faction and start it. The other 8 factions you mean are swap factions. These are "special" ones for more fun. And Rome has either 0 turn or 1 turn to choose from.

[Aliquis]

The first aid center does seem useless to me. It has got a large negative tax bonus compared to the other health building tree.

[High Fist]

They're useful for keeping the peace in newly conquered territory. The negative % isn't a big deal when it's either lower taxes or revolts. Plus I build them in the larger cities to get the hospitals and that for cleanliness, but usually only when they're well developed.

Most temples seem more useless than the first aid centre IMO. Only build them in newly conquered territory too.

@Darthbane, you can sorta do that in the 1 turn campaigns other than Rome.

@Darthbane, you can sorta do that in the 1 turn campaigns other than Rome.

Ah right. I don't really play 1 turn. Only sometimes...

new questions:


1.how to adjust the selected unit color below troops icon in battle mode?
when in battle-mode, we can see troops icons in the center-below down screen.
when i choose any unit, the selected unit is white color , and the unselected units
are also near white color, it is hard to identified them.
does anyone know how to adjust the selected color ?

2.units control in battle-mode.
i notice RS2 had increased all troops's mental to A high value
this cause soliders morale hard to break down.
i try to send my troops to attack left/right side or even back side.
but the enemy is still hard to crash down.
they fight to the death even last man.
is this normal ?
the fire-archery seems not so powerful then RTW ?

how do you crumble down enemy's morale ASAP?

3.when a unit is tired how long will it recover?
i wait for a long time , and the unit is still fatigued.

Do try v2.6 - it's better, I promise.

Also do review the old stickies for some of the basics.
