I recall you gents used to like getting campaign feedback at about turn 100. I'm not sure how relevant that still is, but hey, here's something to read. I've been enjoying 2.35 quite a lot. It's been...
Hey guys, I wanted to try this mod out - the main link on Baidu worked for me, but the hotfix appears to have expired. Anyone have a copy of that, all these years later?
I know whenever I play Rome, I tend to conquer North first; I don't really want to but I have to; if I don't, those big stacks just sit on my border starving my income through devastation. It's...
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the benefits drastically drop off after about age 26. However, I recall reading that in an older post, and they have done some major overhaul work on the traits in...
An Allied Demo/Oli is literally your army winning a battle, walking into town, and declaring that "This guy George here seems like a cool dude for a barbarian. He's your new king. He's also my :wub:...
"They used to be missile units. Now they're the missiles."
Queue several disconnected action sequences, references to an entirely unnecessary love interest, and a random cameo by Nicholas Cage.
...
Don't forget to scream while you do it. It's good for immersion.
Did EB2 lose the start menu uninstall option at some recent point? I tried installing fresh for 2.2f and had to go into the game folder itself to find the EB uninstall executable, which was only...
Makes me wonder if there would be any use to a 'services' resource.
I knew it! It's Ultramarines, isn't it?
In my experience, the AI of many nations takes a very defensive stance in the beginning, but it has its reasons. Namely, I suspect it's calculating that if it takes a province, nearby factions will...
You say irremediable, but z3n's doing a damn good job of proving you wrong.
Ship-based, ballista-launched hang-glider assault infantry.
Factions that start with debt give us players a lot fewer meaningful choices in the early game.
Pardon me, but is AUM 3.4 compatible with the latest version of APE:TI? I think some previous versions of AUM were, and was just wondering.
To be fair, there are a whole slew of Force abilities that only work on droids in the extended universe.
So here are the basics:
Your dudes get experience for killing other dudes. The more dudes they kill, the more experience they get. Simple enough.
Where it gets complicated is the chevrons...
Rebels have uniforms.
I had an idea. It might be stupid, it might not. Certain cavalry-based factions in the Northeast portions of the map have a mechanic whereby they receive money for desolation they cause in enemy...
Ooh, well that's probably it right there. I suspect the AI correctly read that as dirty dealing, taking back a city you'd previously ceded to them. After all, giving them the city is pretty much...
I vaguely recall reading a thing on reputation years ago. It's vague enough that I could be totally wrong, but just off the top of my head and calling on experience, here's my theory on how...
Dooz: I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that actually fighting in the battle, killing enemies, is what gives them chevrons. That's battle experience. If you're talking about trait changes,...
Hey, whoa, that's cheating. The mod agreement is to read more history, not hear it.
Boogie: he lost the element of surprise. =p
Sarkiss: I think the answer's nope. As far as I understand it, while there is a sapping yes/no bit in the unit files, it's just lazy leftovers from whatever they recycled from RTW, or things they...
There are a lot of fun little bits in the traits/ancillaries system. One of my favourite is that the Mistress ancillary can be moved from general to general. I frequently end up with my faction...
Alt-tabbing while the script is running will summon demons. Don't do it.
The last couple of times I played Hayasdan, I put off the Seleukid revolt while I built up a force I figured could withstand them, and wandering rebels, and Pontos/Pergamon (who always seem to...
CamoflaugeUK: definitely do not install it in a folder which requires administrator access. I mean, I'm not one of the mod team so take what I say with a grain of salt, but it seems like it can only...
Reading the background information on the various units available, and using that to actually plan out an army rather than choosing the highest-value troops and trying to turn that into an effective...
Lancastrius: the mercenary pools don't change, it's the unit-producing buildings themselves that only offer certain units under certain cultural conditions. Installing a socii government rapidly...
I finally got around to giving 2.2a a proper go. I'm really liking the change in battle sounds: much more intense. Monetary changes probably need some finagling, but overall I find myself paying a...
Chikiflin: you and everyone's uncle. The general consensus seems to be that morale, attack, and defence values are all affected - that on the two easiest settings you get a boost, and that on the two...
Quintus: I also got this error issue after first 2.2 install - I don't recall if it was an actual graphical error, but I ended up deleting the map.rwm and trying again. It worked fine, though I...
Mythos: sorry, you've misread him. He said they shunned long-range weaponry, but peltasts are medium-range at best, and short-range is probably the most accurate description.
As an additional and quick point about why spearmen are a good idea for the main battle line, terrible, terrible things happen when heavy horse charge against the centre of a line of swordsmen and...
The Getai are an aggressive peoples practically on your doorstep. You gotta do something, man.
Man, I really hope rebels do hire mercenaries; it'd make roleplaying insurrections much cooler.
Victrix: correct.
