My impressions from my first DEI campaign since 1.1:

Population numbers for 1st class seem wonky. It takes a crazy amount of time to generate a sustainable population of nobility if the population...

Some marine units seem to have very poor stats compared to other marine units. They have typical stats for a land unit, rather than the inflated values a naval unit should have (while on a ship). I...

Is it possible to eliminate the chances of the 'free region' critical success from diplomatic missions, through modding? wolphyx (who made this mod) says no, but I'm not sure if the DEI team has...

Not really a bug, but sack income seems very low in comparison to loot income. Early game I'm getting 9-10k-ish from looting and 2kish from sacking. I noticed in the pack file sack income...

Ambakaro Epones (Lusitani Medium Cavalry) have javelins but can't seem to throw them. Using 1.7.

Also, Lusitani Light Infantry (Vaeirione) can't skirmish (they have no ranged mouse indicator). I'm...

Yes.

Scortamareva (Lusitani Medium Spears, I think) have javelins on their unit card, but can't seem to use them in battle. I get the ranged mouse indicator and they have a fire at will button, but they...

Congrats on the release.

This might simply be something that hasn't gotten around to being changed yet, but the Scordisci have Tylis' old missions (chapter objectives). Other new factions may...

When you say the Edetani are replacing the Cantabri, do you mean they will also be keeping most of the roster? I quite like the Cantabri's unit roster and see it as a strange choice to remove as a...

After playing a bit with Getae, the pop growth numbers don't seem to be doing what the UI says it will. I played about 25 turns. While my population was being reduced at the proper rate when...

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the POR submod appears to be removing the chapter objectives for the factions DEI has added (I only checked Saba and the Cantabri but I imagine it affects...

I also play XGM and find no problem with the upkeep. Just use the beginning troops to capture new lands. i.e. Greece stack in Athens and Spartan Royal Guard in Sparta team up to capture Corinth and...

This happens to me all the time. Just re-load that save game and it should be fine. If that doesn't work, the blackness doesn't affect anything, just play on.

My online name is Scutarii
faction:Carthage

I will pwn Rome in memory of Hannibal...

BI no question about it. Alexander had no replayability and was just awful overall. A shame really.

Actually, concentrate all of your military might on Spain. Spain and Greece are the two richest places on the map, Spain because of Mines and Greece because of Trade. Your economy is failing...

No, unfortunately this is not possible, you think that CA might've clued in, but no...

You could have it when Gaul and Greece are taken... I find that all to often Africa is just left alone after Sicily is secured.

:ohsnap:

That's a relief... Thanks for the help Dime.

Not to the AI it doesn't. They would rather reduce their population and be slaughtered much easier by spamming Sparabara and crappy light infantry than going for the much better HA's and Cata's.

I find the two (or perhaps three) steppe factions idea interesting. Other mods have done it, (Roma Surrectum being an example), and the 2 factions could the Bosphorans, the sarmatians and the...

I have had this problem as well... I only have the icon on one account and if someone else want to play on the Guest file (for example), they can't. How do you get a new icon?

Wow, this idea looks really great... I can't wait until it is implemented.

Do you play modded or vanilla Rome? If you do play a mod, I'm very curious as to who plays what. Personally, I play Extended Greek Mod (XGM), and vanilla for MP.

They are slightly useful, they give a morale boost to your guys and a slight morale decrease to the other guys (I think). So, being Brittania or Gaul (whose infantry is rather morale deprived...

Personally, I would scrap the rebel factions and make some playable ones. You could even have factions that are playable but still pressure the factions rebels they replace. For example, Ptolemies'...

Did you sell your soul for that!?! Damn...

I've had a Gaius Marius while being the Julii.

Is this AAR dead, or has Locky just gone on vacation? I hate it when suddenly all the AAR's spontaneusly die (Right after XGM was looking real promising for AAR's).

I'm planning to download soon, just need to clean my computer up for more memory. Does this take up much more space than XGM?

Also, you will only get people who play XGM downloading because that...

Egypt all the way. Chariots will rip Parthia and Armenia's cataphracts, and one of the best archers in the game can outshoot HA's. Numidia doesn't even come close.

I think thats about it, although I'm not sure about boosting attack and defense. The only other thing is when you auto-resolve, more stars means more likely to win and a clearer victory.

My Scipii Faction Leader (Cornelius) lived to 108 and then died peacefully in Messana.

BTW, keeping generals still in settlements helps them live longer.

They didn't remove upkeep, just the showing of it in the settlement details scroll, and the city income.

I would have to say Pathia... For many of the above stated reasons.

A) Parthia has Cataphracts (eliminating Scythia)

B)Dacia doesn't have elite HA's

C)Armenia's elite HA is Cataphract...

Personally, I would rather leave out the Rebel factions and have some real factions to play as.... But that's just me.

Heh Heh... I feel your pain, buddy. I re-did a battle 3 times to get Heroic Victory battle marker and when it didn't show up right after, I freaked.

I had Numidia kick the Romans out of Africa. They then moved into and took over Spain and then I got bored and saved over the file (I only ever use 2 saved games, unless I really want to keep them)....

As it says in the quote, check your version and you know which type of Gold you got.
