free peoples faction in RS II

[matmohair1]

Hello - Thanks for all the great work and effort
I would like to suggest that - if it was possible - the free peoples faction be playable in the custom battle menu
(like in BI - for example)

THANKS

Forgive my ignnorance, im a new member on the forum and will soon be downloading the mod. I dont really understand the "free people thing". Are they just like the rebels in the vanilla version and EB? Or do they actually try to expand and be proactive? I checked the forums but could not locate anything that shed specific light on the subject. Any Information is appreciated.

In custom battle? Uh... I don't think they are.

On a semi-related side note, can somebody tell me how to make the Senate playable in custom battles? I wanna play some legion vs. legion battles.

Οh! Believe me, absolutely they're a playable faction..

You'll have your chance to see Romans vs Romans..
(the rebel faction of Romans exists too in the game).

Okay, I should probably clarify that that entire post of mine was regarding RS1, not RS2.

My bad.

You mean: descr_strat ?

The provincial campaign hasn't been kind to me. I keep getting errorless CTDs that I haven't seen high nor hair of in the imperial campaign.

You mean: descr_strat ?

No, it's not the descr_strat. That only makes factions playable in campaign. It doesn't affect CBs.

[Alkimachos]

As you say, like rebels! But "updated" rebels by the RS team different AI,etc...

And welcome on the forum and Roma Surrectum..

[Darkside]

I, for one, have found it difficult to ascertain the differences between the free peoples and the other...well, free peoples. For example in RS 1 there are two factions which both seemed to be given the qualities of free and independent cities. I realize that one of these is the rebel factions (I think the differences is actually described in this forum somewhere, but even that description always confused me) and the other one is not.

Not to mention the colors and descriptions of these people is exactly the same in RS 1. Can someone please tell me the differences in more detail here? I also am aware that with one of these factions can be negotiated with (peace made, trade rights, etc.).

What are the changes made to these rebel/free peoples in RS 2?

[Alkimachos]

It will be only one faction with the name "free people" and will be also more agressive than RSI. Only these infos i know and can say. If you want to learn sth more talk with the developers as Tone or Apple..

[Visarion]

you mean G... ahm... wait! yeah maybe some developers should answer this!

[♔DARTH LEGO♔]

ahhhhhh.....sorry my mistake...

ok, well please start a thread if you come right....would be pretty cool.

change the red "no" to "yes"

As for freepeoples:
RS I
In RS I there are 2 rebels factions, one of them is the Vanilla "Rebels" and the other one is the Vanilla "Britons" faction. The britons are the one "active" they're aggresive, you can trade/ally/fight with them. These "Britons" are the ones that represent the "stronger" independent nations, the ones you need to fight a little harder to conquer. The "Rebels" faction is much the same, this faction resembles (obviously) the weaker faction.

RS II
In RS II every campaing is modfolderd (every nation sort of has it's own "game" in witch the factions are given mor specification and depth). RS II also has 2 rebel factions.
In the Roman campaign, one of the factions (I'm assuming it's the "Britons" again), they are the Roman Rebels. In the other campaigns, this faction is again representing the "stronger" independent states.
The "Rebels" faction is the same as in RS I but more aggressive and stronger

Hope this helps

RS 2's "rebels" are a bit more complex - you've got the Free People (basically the renamed Rebels and Slaves faction from Vanilla RTW, just like RS1), you've got the Free Greeks, which are basically like the GCS in RTW, except a lot more spread out (Massalia, Syracuse, Rhodes, and the Bosporan Kingdom are some of their territories), and they have Sparta to contend with in Greece itself. The "Free Barbarians" (RTW's Thrace faction - the Belgae have the Britons' slot, which makes sense since they have a small toehold there) pretty much play the role of the stronger "rebel" areas in the "barbarian" areas of northern Europe. They're interspersed among the regular "Rebel" areas, so you get lots of internecine fighting between the various tribes we couldn't give up a faction slot to represent. They're a bit tougher than the average Rebel, though, so they'll provide the main factions with more of a challenge to overcome.

HOWEVER. In the Roman campaign, the Free Barbs have been done away with and replaced with a Roman Rebel faction, allowing for a Roman civil war. This means that Roman players will probably see the Barbarian factions expanding a little faster as there are no Free Barbs to block them, only Rebels, which as we know, aren't as tough. However, as a trade off, Roman players get to fight a massive civil war during their campaign, but I don't want to spoil the details. Incidentally, as far as I'm aware, any rebelling Roman regions will go to the Roman Rebel faction, so you will be seeing legion-on-legion action in the Roman campaign (the AI can't deal with a massive civil war like this, so it's unique to the Roman campaign) - we've even got a rebel skin for the Praetorians. Sharpen your gladii, war is upon us!
