no messana is doomed. just put the garrison in capua and take that legion to go fight.

**hastati lord** · April 16, 2009, 06:31 PM

thanks! + rep to all 3 of you

And make sure you play on M/M and with house rules and all available add-ons

Cause for sure, you are going to restart the campaign

**Samariten** · April 17, 2009, 12:27 PM

I bet Hannibal already took capua from him...

**hastati lord** · April 17, 2009, 02:39 PM

I am doing M/M
ill try house rules after i get used to the mod
so far ive defeated both carthigian armies with small losses and capture all of italy and sicily

i really expected the battles to be a bit harder though...
elephaunts die so quick and then carthage only has weak infantry

First, welcome to SPQR!

Well, I believe you are ready to play by houserules

**hastati lord** · April 17, 2009, 06:36 PM

Ok im kinda ticked off now
somehow my install got corrupted and i have to reinstall
i was going to finish a campaign first but i guess ill just start a new one with house rules lol

alot of questions are answered in my help guide - have a read of the link in my signature it should help (although ironically doesn't answer any of your questions - might need to do an update)

**Samariten** · April 18, 2009, 07:10 AM

well this mod is how to hold on in the long run since it gets harder the longer you play and ther larger you get, have fun playing with houserules and hope you enjoy it

Watch out for the script. That might confuse the hell out of you

**hastati lord** · April 19, 2009, 07:09 PM

correct me if im wrong but doesnt scrip just add the garrisons and 4 turns per yr?

**Ejergard** · April 19, 2009, 07:15 PM

It does, hastat lord.
But you have to be consistent in your use of the script. Either play the whole campaign with it on or off. Forgetting to load it if you have played with it on before may screw up your campaign, warp you in time, that kind of things...

**hastati lord** · April 19, 2009, 08:21 PM

hmmm i take it thats its a good idea to not forget to activate the script XD

**czePowerslave** · April 20, 2009, 07:01 AM

Well, I managed to do so couple times, but my campaign is holding. It is always viable to save to many slots and in case smth is wrong, just load and do a couple fast turns to see. Thats what I do. Oh and never save before the battle.

**hastati lord** · April 20, 2009, 02:21 PM

hmm i normally save b4 battles in case of glitches or ctds

**Ejergard** · April 20, 2009, 08:41 PM

Actually me too, but I keep 2 saves. One is an ordinary before I press end turn, and the other one is inbetween battles during the endturn phase, incase I have a ctd after a battle. IF (which very rarely is the case!) the save inbetween battles would be broken, I will still have the save before the turn to fall back to. And sometimes I even keep several saves between battles if some would turn out to be corrupt. However, since I started playing in windowed mode, I rarely EVER have any more ctds...
