RSII "Five Good Emperors" Questions, Suggestions & Discussion

[Beetlecat]

chris10:

I like where you're going with the recruitment/organization flow. Not being able to recruit units for a while makes the game interesting and challenging -- especially early on.

Perhaps this aspect alone is worthy of a small 2.2 submod once that patch is released. I think dvk has some re-adjustments in store.

[Timefool]

Good work so far, and a good idea. Maybe you will inspire other people to undertake similar submods. I remember there was talk in the beta forum awhile back about a possible submod that would make Parthia into the Persian Empire similar in depth to that of Rome.

Also this should be in the RS II submods forum.

Excellent. I am looking forward to this mod.

[chris10]

Excellent. I am looking forward to this mod.

I hope that I can roll it out just before Christmas...maybe 23rd or 24th

EDIT....Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh....dont think that I can make it...
the coding and the necessary testing if it works is so............. sloooooooooow...

UPDATED POST 1

New feature:

Counterattacks on taking capitals

Generic update: garrison script nearly finished

[kornella]

No doubt you are a true genius....

[RedGuard]

so Gaul wont be overpopulated in this will it chris10? lol

[naq]

Sure we will rep you chris.

Oh, please don't make siege battles harder. I don't like them and often auto resolve.

The strength of a counterattack will depend on the area,the faction and the importance of the captured city. Counterattacks ONLY will happen if the capital is taken from its original owner.

What if I set every city in danger of being taken as my capital to make counterattacks?

1. Oh, please don't make siege battles harder. I don't like them and often auto resolve.

1. autoresolve is fine....its just to assure that the player takes fair amount of casualties like in real life

2. ..dont know what that means ...???? counterattacks only happen if you take a capital from its original owner...like Gergovia from the Averni...if Gergovia for example has been taken by the Belgae before nothing will happen if you take it from them

2. thanx a lot guys but Iam confused ...????...people can rep once they reach 50 posts ....so you 2 can rep anybody anytime......

[chris10]

I mean if the enemy attack one of my city and I know it will lose I make it my capital and after the enemy take it there will be a counter attack, right? And I can do this with all of my cities.

...sorry but, nope ...counterattacks will only help the AI if you take the capital of a any faction...this is to make it nearly impossible that Players blitz early. If you want to take a capital you have to bring 3-5 Legions to succeed and to hold it...this will help that Players must concentrate their forces for successful campaigns and will be short in other theatres thus having no offensive power in more than one spot at a time....

If the Player looses a city he has to reatake it by his own means...

Some question: in the new recruitment system , do Oppidum Organization and Oppidum Colonization provide any troop? Do they give any happiness penalty with Client state?

They maintain their original values...
Oppidums are giving a law bonus simulating romanization and civilization process but will have a happiness penalty with client state depending on their level.I did not change anything here.

There is no change in what building will provide which troos..Its just that I tied the 2 trees
( Oppidum and Goverment Determination ) together and made them conditional to each other.
See post 1 Roman Recruitment depends on Romanization.
It not seemed logical that by building 1 building (Client State) a new conquered area would provide a mass of allied troops and all allied roman units too.It is more likely to expect that a recently conquered area still suffers from some unrest and unwillingness during the following years...that is now properly reflected.
With the new setting the player has to "romanize" an area before it will provide any troops.
As well it helps that players dont forget to build the oppidums because they will need them upgraded for numbered legions and with the current recruitment lots of players did not even bother to built them because they could get their troops thru client state

[chris10]

Making progress...
Barbarian Insurrection test

[DarthLazy]

Omg Nice work there mate!! But why is there an Arverni resurrection in Germany? Or ca nit be different factions?

[bigmilt16]

Will the AI have to deal with the reinforcements if they take a capital as well? That would definitely help the AI from blitzing as well, which they are notorious for.

Great job!

Looking very good! Like to see more!
