Suits me perfectly then. Enough to get feet wet and allows advancement.
Would you say a Plebeian Military Tribune (as Legates were apparently Patrician only) be too high or too low a rank for the game? Ambition would be to get some prestige on the front and then become...
Well that sounds all fine and dandy then. Figure I'll work on a preliminary concept sometime soon and wait for you to go "live" with this, even if it's a few months from now. Might go with a Plebeian...
Late Republican could be anything from Marius and Sulla to Caesar, to the squabbles of Mark Anthony and Octavian.
...Though any/all of those would suit me just fine...
Are you aiming for...
I'd be down for this. Just tell me when and where. Any particular period or event in mind?
Back when I played Shogun 2 the only playable version of Shogun 2 was DarthMod, and even that only somewhat fixed it. Might have to give it another shot if there's such mods. Can you recommend me...
You for real? :(
I am beginning to see the appeal of "No Civil Wars" mod now... Civil wars used to be pretty cool actually since it was this titanic inner conflict in the game that let you reforge...
I believe he figured we'd ask the very question and is on purpose using it as what can only be called "fan service."
Very informative post FrozenmenSS, but it could use the loving touch of enter a few times! ;)
Wait, are you saying that Alexander the Great was Greek?
Damn son... explains how he managed to mess up half the known world fiscally in such a short time! :D
In my humble opinion there isn't a word in the English language that sums up Shogun 2 better than "Arcade."
It's a game which you'll have won or lost within a hundred turns; where all that the AI...
And so another pair of Total War games rides off into the sunset.
Can't say the ride was always fun or even interesting, with the early months of Rome II being an complete and utter mess that...
Civil Wars will occur whenever your faction appears to be too strong or too weak. Keep your influence around 40-70% and you can cruise through the game without one, or if you're Rome or Carthage you...
Unsure when you played last, but at least I haven't met the issue in well over a year by now.
Singular Faction, eh?
It can't be a Migrator then I assume as those have already been done, it can't be another Hunnic horde I'm guessing since those too have been done, so the best bet is likely...
An interesting difference in approaches actually. I find myself imitating the historical Roman approach of having Hastati form my first line, Principes second and Triarii the third, with Velites...
I'm a tad curious... what buildings will Venice and Genoa have? Given both of their maritime wealth and the fact that neither province is a "capitol" it seems basically impossible to have them be...
I do have to admit I am not exactly hyped with the direction that Paradox is taking CK2. They keep on adding new mechanics that don't really work and then take months to "fix" them, or then just...
Any graphical and performance optimization would be well-received. Can't really think of anything else that would be a must...
Neat!
Will have to give it a try.
How do you guys construct your early game armies?
For me it goes thus.
Roman
Generals bodyguard/Legatus
2x Principes
2x Triarii
2x Equites
5x Velites
I now know which faction I'll be playing as first.
Interesting. My current experience in Rome 2 is somewhat different.
I control Italia, Magna Graecia, Corsica, Cisalpine Gaul, Provence and Aquitania and I am currently funding no less than 5 full...
If we're going with Endhammer and need canon characters, I'd be down for Heinrich Todbringer. Alternatively a Norscan Warlord seems appealing.
Interesting stuff.
Unsure how much of it can be used in the mod, but it's definitely interesting to read about.
General commentary on the fractious and belligerent nature of the people there? Croatia happens to be a part of said region and borders, titles and such do tend to get a rise out of people. The...
There's no conflict, unless one considers rampant inaccuracy and after-the-fact revision a valid cause. "Slovakian" identity didn't exist at this time, and any call for their presentation or...
It's not even funny how whenever attention turns to the Balkans, this stuff breaks out again...
Also @Peter100: Slovakian identity didn't exist at this point in history.
The Ban of Croatia...
It got even funnier when you were at war with the Pope as a Catholic, and the Pope Started losing, and then tried to enforce peace. :D
Would you prefer us as OC's or historical characters? I'd be up for being one of the Wolf Emperors... :D
I'd still argue the Age of Three Emperors as being the optimal setting, but wouldn't exactly scream bloody murder at any of said ideas. The Endhammer one, depending on our characters level might be...
I believe the answer to the OP is that the Papacy will work as well as it can within context of Attila framework, which isn't exactly great. Sadly CA has not added dedicated Curia or Papal game...
As has been pointed out in several threads, Croatia at the time of the mod is not independent, and representing them as such would be historically inaccurate. Croatia fell under Personal Union in...
I believe first scenario would be the optimal choice, allowing for the widest amount of player to player goodness, whilst still providing a chance for GM to interfere if it looks like players need an...
You're absolutely right. *feeling like an idiot* mixed up Strasburg and Straslund very neatly.
Oh right... have you guys thought on Faction Traits yet, or too early to kiss and tell?
Early on take Hamburg so the Danes don't take it and expand into the Low Countries, also nab Madgeburg, Stettin and Prague to secure your front against the Polish.
Ally Hungary with a possible...
I'd go with option B and the group of minors, with maybe at least one of them being playable. Could be an awesome "bragging rights" faction if you manage not only to form the Crusader States, but...
Looks amazing.
Hey guys, "oldie" returning to the fold of TWC.
Lets resuscitate these games shall we... work up a game everyone wants to play and start from there? I'll start, and volunteer to head GM.
Rome....
