Does the Garrison script work for the player too?

[stupiddk]

The only reason I don't activate the script is because the AI on VH/VH is already getting massive bonuses and if I give them the garrison script they will just overwhelm me. Does the script allow me a free garrison too, or no?

[Hesus de bodemloze]

first of all your playing on vh/vh? lol you will get killed killed and spit out lather on when te game evolves. but to answer your question.

No the garrison script only works for the AI.

[lt1956]

Yes you should play M/M the mod was balanced for that its impossible to win SPQR on VH/VH without cheats. There is a FINE balance in SPQR and you ruin it with VH/VH I only recommend that when playing other factions. See units will not rout causing you more losses than you can dream of, the AI will produce way too many armies also. You really unbalance your game, if you WANT a realistic Challenge play by House Rules on M/M and you will learn real battlefield and logistical tactics.

[stupiddk]

Ahh, maybe thats how I lost the entire Italian Peninsula to Gaul after five turns. Damn, Ill start over.

[lt1956]

Look at it this way, I made the mod, the designer should know what to play his own mod on. lol

BTW read the README and use the killsheet its alot of fun

[stupiddk]

I use the kill sheet but wont post it because I have lost way too many men. Kill Ratio is .23:10

[lt1956]

See what fun is the kill sheet when you have that? lol Play M/M your love the mod then, and play by house rules with the script. I have over 173,000 gauls dead and my ratio is 1 roman to 3.81 of the enemy. But I have lost 4 legions at sea in One swoop from a carthaginian Fleet and I have lost a few battles and I created the mod, so M/M is hard enough and it gets HARDER later in the game. lol Alot of mod for RTW get easier as the player gets bigger, but for SPQR its harder. Those kills are not even invasion kills just them probing my northern border!

[stupiddk]

My loss of Romans is almost peaking 1,000,000. I mean that feels horrible. I think I am going to kill Hannibal right now. Maybe Theophanes too. I have one settlement left. Restart after I lose because losing i this game is as fun as winning in my opinion.

[lt1956]

lol, if this was Rome you would have commited suicide by now.

[24Gamer]

1 million? Actually i never reached that amount of kills =)

[Valerius Tiberius]

those are his losses

[24Gamer]

those are his losses

I know i just wanted to compare that number to my numer of kills which are usually much higher than losses

[Hesus de bodemloze]

maybe we can start a kill sheet contest.

[stupiddk]

Well, I am playing this Mod the wrong way

VH/VH and I have a tendency to be very defensive when playing. I have finally killed Hannibal and Theophanes and taken over Sicily and Syracuse. The Gauls have taken all the northern settlements right now and killed millions of soldiers and civilians.

I have only lost 200,000 Roman Soldiers, but my civilian casualties are out of this world because they exterminate my settlements

I factor in Civilians on an Estimated Total. So my million may be off by fifty thousand up or down.

[franks_tank]

Did you change the unit sizes or something?...even if the cities were really big a million will hardly be reachable in this early state of game...even if the cities were really large already it will be more like 100.000...and 200.000 dead soldiers would make dozens of dead legions...where did you get the people from to recruit them?...maybe I understand you wrong but I don't get it

[stupiddk]

ohhh, I rush from the first turn occupying settlements. I got as far as Brittania, then the super AI kicked in and pounded me all the way back to the Italian peninsula.

I freaked out and started to build small auxiliary armies by the fives and sent them out to stall the gauls. Not historical, but a requiremnt for a AI that sends full stack after full stack

This campaign is just for fun.

[new york rangers]

lol im playing on VH/VH and i had to use the money cheat to get me 100k to make some armies to hold them gauls off!! i will not use the cheat again, i always use it to get 100k and then never again. So every one says the game gets more difficult as my empire grows? lol i think its very fun, even thou im basically bankrupt and i lost arrentium, and im facing elite german armies in the year 169 bc =O

[Hesus de bodemloze]

your playing on VH/VH? good luck whit your game, but i am going to tell you right now you will NEVER finish it. the game is balanced for M/M play only. o well good luck with it.

[new york rangers]

i wish i new how to put my game here so you guys can see how im doin it. il try and keep you posted if ur intrested, but i plan on finishing this campaign one way or another. I invested to much time to start over!

[Hesus de bodemloze]

well it seems like it won' t take long before your game will be finisht. when germans attack you and your still using pre marius legions the end is near.
