    Default Extending Victory Conditions

    While making another little submod to make life easier for Rome players (which I will upIoad right now) I went through the Legion Recruitment Map and found that Numbered Legions can be retrained and recruited in about 137 !!! Provinces which brings me directly to the issue of this thread.

    Victory Conditions for the game are:

    In 0Turn the Player has to hold 130 provinces

    In 1Turn its just a 100.

    Somehow this is keeping short the potentialities of the game, especially those of the 1Turn.

    Victory Conditions should be equal for both Campaigns and include at least the 137 Regions.

    If not officially taken on I will make another submod if somebody would be so kind to direct me in the right direction how to do it...
    and I mean specific input... not the usual dead giveaway pointing to the Rome Workshop!!!!
    I need to know which file is containing the victory conditions and to which other files are they related...Hope I can work the rest out myself...
    thanks a bunch...

    I could just change that and include it in the patch. Thing is we set that number so that the player should have a goal to strive for.
    You can play further even after reaching the condition. It's just a way to encourage the player.

    The file is named descr_win_conditions.txt and is located in each mod folder. Each of these are specifically tailored for each campaign forcing the Ai to expand in different patterns.

    Thanks a bunch...Playing further after VICTORY was ever and in any game a lame thing as there where nothing more to achieve.

    To motivate players on the longer run victory should be further away than only 100 or 130.

    The 137 settlements look pretty much like the maximum expansion of the Roman Empire and logic and long term motivation tells that this should be the goal and not something beneath.

    If it comes with the patch...perfect...if not...I will do another submod (Ive done 2 this week..looks like this is becoming sort of a habit)

    I agree. Every time, when l reach 130, the campaign becomes somewhat boring.

    Actually, on our map the number of regions needed to match Rome's maximum and retained expansion is 105.

    Well, I know maps differ a bit from source to source...

    If I take this one... its pretty much matching with the Legion training map Praetorian_BTX has made where
    Legions can be trained in 137 areas....

    And there is another map Roman Provinces under Trajan where the empire held even more ground deeper into the east

    However if you count the Babylon conquest of Trajan, there will be more than 137.

    yeah......I think with the 137 its fair enough as this reflects the Legion Recruitment Map...
    maybe making it 140 rounding it up or making it really the Trajan expansion (2nd map). Dont know yet.
    I will wait for the Patch and if this is not included I will do something about it .
