Which Campaign Are You Playing & Why

[julianus heraclius]

I'm curious as to which campaign people are playing and why they are drawn to that particular one.

[Visitor13]

I started with the 365 campaign, but that's because the 355 campaign didn't work in the initial version of the beta. Now I'm playing the 355 campaign, and I'm drawn to it because of the challenge it poses, and because it has the potential to be a mirror image of Justinian's campaign. I figure Constantius's 'ERE' won't hold out against all these barbarians and the Sassies, and it will be my job to restore the empire.

If I'm wrong about Constantius's strength, I'm in for a juicy civil war anyway

361, Guptas, because I wanted to see what they were like and play with a non-infantry heavy faction. My conclusion is the only viable options are to immediately rush the Kidarites/Sassanids or disband most of your stacks. Your units aren't expensive - far from it, the 72-man elephant is like 250 upkeep and the longbows like ~65 - but you start with like 10 stacks. Finished campaign goals by 363 (4tpy).

I am probably mostly going to keep with the 361 campaign, Romans.
I always loved it and now I have gotten so used to it...

365 AD; Valens shall defeat Procopius and then the Goths shall be humbled.

[-Traiano-]

I started both 361 and 365 campaigns, i'm going to play some turns before to choose what campaign playing, it will be the most difficult to survive.
Why these 2?? 361 because i always loved to rule entire roman empire and i always loved great sole emperors as Julian, and also looking at that oriental limes with full stacks of sassanids ready to hit your troops quite excite me!!!
365 because seems the most challenging one to me, ruling the western empire against tons of enemies while managing a very bad economy...it sounds great!!!

361-lakhmids.

I want to play the main campaign first, then move on t the provincial one.

why Lakhmids? well, I'm Arab (half arab), if that ever helps.

we Arabs like to stick with our homies!

355 Quadi
I just always wanted to play a quadi campagne till victory.
In IJ2.0a it wasn't possible cause the game crashed at some point.
But now it works fine and the changes are amazing.
Thx guys

You're more of a man than I.

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

You're more of a man than I.

at least he doen't have to deal with 3 much superior factions, rather than 1*

I guess we're both more manly than you

so I guess I'm the the most macho man in this forum

jk

lakhmids vs.: Sassanid persia, Romani, and Armenia. and if I survive them, the goths, Gptas, hephthalites, and Huns. quite a fight awaits

The Sassanids or a combination of Sassanids/Romans will destroy Armenia, don't worry about them.

that's the thing; I attack early, to catch the a3aajim offguard, so Armenia never gets destroyed.

besides, I relish the challenge of fighting all three at once

I suppose I'm just so scared of this monstrosity which popped up in my Saxon campaign. It's taking over the remnants of the Gupta, too...

Next campaign for me is probably the 355 AD as Constantius to laugh at the AI Julian's probable failure to hold the limes.

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

I'm going to try the 365 AD campaign with Valentinian. Let's kick some barbarian butts, baby!

Hehe, its everytime nice to meet WH40K fans. Ohh, what would i give for a legio astartes for the romans from time to time. The sassanids have armored horse archers? So what we have 10000 bolter shooting, chainsword swinging, gen modified warriors.
On the other side it would be a short and boring campaign.

You have to give Gaiten credit there too. He is the Sassanid expert.
