Senate re-added

[dvk901]

I've created a small modification to RS1.5b that re-adds the Senate in a 'Provincial Campaign' separate from the Imperial Campaign. I did it mainly for myself, since I find it a change of pace to be irritated by the Senate. But I'm thinking about releasing it to the fans just to drum up a little more interest, and sort of 'soothe the monster' for a while. I've also included separate files for 0 and 1 turn recruitment.

Any thoughts? Objections? Foreseeable problems?

[traxx91]

Which faction has been removed? Just curious.

[dvk901]

No faction removed. The Senate just 'isn't in' RS1.5.

[MarcusTullius]

Wait, so you mean you added the Senate Tab back to RS?

Well I have never been a fan of the Senate. You made it in a seperate campaign so I guess its alright.

Alot of fans will enjoy it for almost half the threads in the main forum are asking for the senate or where did the senate go. But you have to be clear that the senate will not be included in RS2.

I'm against, and for only one reason, if we put into 1.5b (or 1.5c since I still need to fix the river bug and a few other minor irritants) then we'll never hear the end of why isn't it in RS2. We already hear about it every week or two, no need to make it more frequent, also I believe another RS user already posted a change with the senate built into it a while ago, or at least talked about posting it.

We could always make it clear that it wont be in 2.0 and thats final...no more discussions...take what we're giving you or lump it

I reckon most of the fans will value an extra dimension to 1.5 to keep them busy but wont moan at all when 2.0 comes out with all we've got planned for it.

[cherryfunk]

I'm all for it. It's something new for the fans to keep them off our backs for the next couple months!! And all those 'SPQR is the most awesome cause it has the Senate' bastards can finally shut up!

[tone]

Yeah I'm fine with it

[pacco]

Me too!

[dvk901]

I've made it very clear that the Senate can NEVER be in RS2, because it was written out of the game in the core files. Besides, after all the work we've done on RS2, if somebody whines about the Senate not being in it I'd be inclined to tell them to take up residence in a VERY hot place.

This option, BTW, is based off the last patch for RS1.5.

I't a good idea.

[aja5191]

I think it would be somehting nice to quell them for a while...

I just hope that they have the capacity to realize that we're still not done with RS2, nor was it put on hold to do this.

Side project.

To be honest, I did it in one night because I was sick of staring at text files and new units. I just had to take a breather.

[swhunter]

Sure why not.

[Arnspac]

Do it.

[tone]

I'm not surprised - it does your head in looking at those things.

[apple]

And I complain aboute the sound descr_sounds_music to myself
The text just looks soooo boring, it needs some colour

... Features EmpireTW need's: Text files coloured like the rainbow ..... ..... .....

[rory o'kane]

sounds good to me!

[Nellup]

Go for it.
