I cant seem to build the 5th Upgrade to my cities, the Enemies seem to be able to do it, but i have played both carthage and the Greeks, both not able to construct the final building. Any tips? or am i doing something wrong?

If you are talking about the Imperial palace/Royal palace you need to build Great forum/Great agora in order to build it. Also SPQR was meant to be played as romans not other factions if you play as other factions you get a pretty easy campaign. I suggest you start playing as romans.

Yeah but i hate playing as the Romans, its to the point of where its not even fun, Gaul constantly rapes everyone, then you have to deal with the fact that your cities revolt for no reason when they feel like it.

RS2 is a wonderful mod with great model and maps. You should give them a shot, SPQR mod is really for a specific player,I think you would REALLY like RS2 give them a shot and see, also EB is alot of fun also.

lol! I see you're giving up on explaining and taking to aiming them elsewhere, eh, lt?

Probably a more efficient tactic.

Well it comes to a point as to WHY they are playing the mod. There are ALOT of other great mods out there that are balanced for other nations, why play SPQR if you want to play Seleucid? Makes no sense at all, SPQR stands for Senate and People of Rome the mod is about Rome, balanced to challenge rome to the point the AI cannot play Rome without them being destroyed. So why play my mod when there are other mods that have great models and gameplay?

You can see why I point them elsewhere, they really arent playing SPQR for SPQR, but just to play a mod any mod. If I wanted to play other factions I would choice RS2, EB, or RTR.

I totally get it. It just gives me a laugh to see the evolution. When I first showed up here circa 7.0, you explained the whole thing to everybody that asked about other factions, then suggested other mods for non-Rome gameplay.

Now it's just, "Go elsewhere, please."

I dig, but it makes me laugh.

Should have been here for SPQR 1.0 ;-)

Lt i think you should edit descr_strat.txt to make other factions unplayable and only leave playable romans...

**lt1956** · December 10, 2010, 06:54 AM

Other SPQR players once in a while want to play the other factions even with the limitations so I left them playable, but your right that was my first choice.

The reason why is SPQR battles are unmatched by any other mod, they don't come close, I have tryed. I have had several great campaigns as other factions, it takes a great amount of modding, however its really worth it, not as near as in depth as a roman one, but great fun for a couple of weeks.
So you are a victim of your own success m8, live with the consequences!
