    Default I have A idea!

    Rare I know but I had one!...be proud of me

    To celebrate SAI4 when is comes I was thinking about doing a multiplayer type campaign in a way.

    1.) Here is the Idea or two actual Ideas (im on a role!) one of us starts a campaign as the Roman empire of a 361 campaign, he starts of doing what he would do on a normal campaign then ends the turn and fights the battles and what not. After that turn he sends his save to another player, giving him total control of the empire for one turn. then he would to the next man and so forth. that way we would see just how the empire would fall or stand.

    (or the much harder and a bit complicated but I allways wanted to find a way to do. )

    2.) we set up a comand sheet of each province of strife and put one man in charge of said areas as if they are the governors controling the field and frontier armys with his "allotted" pay for his region.
    Rules.
    1.govenernors can ask fro help from others and money from italy
    2. Italy is under the emperor's control. He can also take what he wants from any province. He also controls The emperor's unit and heir along with any untis under them.
    3. there is a emperor! He is a player and can only be Emperor if we all agree he is to be so.

    This is just A idea that would need to be hamered out and such. both of these would take a long time to play but I think would be fun.

    Just think of the bickering.
    example

    player1: im sorry....I um lost some cities."
    player2: "its okay. what ones?"
    player1: " Augusta treverorum, Antioch, Sirmium amd Condata."
    player2: "how did you...lose Condata?!"
    player1: "Im not the best defender."
    player2: "I hate you.."
    player1: the Saxons just came in and.."
    player2: you sold Condata to the Saxons didnt you?"
    player1: NO!...well..maybe"
    player2: I hate you.."

    Well that would be impossible because we all would using the same save just passing the save to one another. That would be fun as hell though

    actually your ideas are excellent. I hope if rtw2 ever comes out they will implement more advanced multi features, like sharing command.

    Yeah I support it let's do it. I name myself Magister Pedites et Equites Gallicum. Leave the Franks and Alemanii to me. And send me all your spare troops
    EDIT: Specifically, whoever's in charge of Italy, you MUST send me some carrage Ballistae. Or else...

    lol I wanted gaul!!

    well we could do it but it would take a long time with save passing.
    we also need to find out a way to make a turn grid.


    Gual/Spain= Julianus Flavius
    Illyrium = well me for now.
    Asia =
    Africa/Britannia so he wont get bord.
    we need to fill and find this out this so we can add a Emporer.

    if no one els takes it do you want to try the first idea Julianus Flavius?

    It's interesting. I honestly prefered Hispania provinces. They are calm and and get richer faster and without much work...

    Dont look down on me i'm only being a good provincial roman.

    We can decide the emperor by playing a FFA match.

    okay you can have it. we need good roman men.

    Sure! I will leave that to you to set up. I dont want to be emperor so im out though. im happy with Illyrium/danube



    now we still need to set up how we would go about doing these things. I was thinking start with the emporer. then to gaul(thief) and then spain. so on and so on until the last guy ends the turn.
    then we start all over agian for the battles the need to be done during end turn process. What do you guys think?

    Ok, but who wants to participate at all? I have to know.

    Off topic: I discovered you can have hamachi installed and still play on gamespy, too. Just shut down both hamachi.exe and hamachi-ui.exe . Then go to network connections and disable the hamachi network. At least for XP it is that way.

    Edit: we can make the match scored resolution - that way it would be easier to choose the non-emperor titles - by rank.

    Both Gaul and the throne will be mine unless someone objects, we should have as many participants as possible Question though, who will be in command of Germania (Once I conquer it) will it fall under the Comes gallicum or will we get a new official to run Germania?

    Do not forget that some emperors and good emperos come from Hispania. Forgeting it will be unwise.

    I think it's easier that someone first post all the available characters. Then we can see.

    Lol First we must determine who is the emperor by civil war!!!!

    Default Re: I have A idea!

    Nope, in my opinion that second. I think what we should do:
    1. Determine how many players we will have.
    2. Make character list and pick them.
    3. Then each player can have them provinces to rule ( Ilyria, Spain, Britannia, gaul and so on.) Divide provinces and armies so each guys can have clear picture of their operation and areas of responsibility.
    4. Then we'll fight for position of emperor.

    Or does someone else have ideas?
