RSII "Five Good Emperors" Questions, Suggestions & Discussion

[chris10]

Hey Chris!

About the legionary ancillaries, how does this work in practise? Is there a certain minimum number in order to gain the ancillary of (like 1 first and 3 regular cohorts?) Because if you'd for example have 1 legion of each for 1 commander, he would be getting way too awesome. Can't wait till Friday btw!

Look in the first post under Legion Ancillarys... There is a map and a list on where to get them...
The first General who passes a turn in the settlement where you get an Ancillary will get it.
Every Legion Ancillary can exist only once ...If one General has it no other can have it

PREVIEW:
MORE SCREENS

With very well balanced bandit armys I make sure that the Player can fight enemys which in a normal campaign he probably will not see very often.Here its a bunch of Insubres Infantry, Helveti Infantry, Ligurian Noble Cavalry and others
As I dont have time to play these battles I use autoresolve



These Nomad Bandits in Africa will be more difficult to eradicate...They have Chariots, Elephants...very Balanced Desert Army...even an experienced Allied Legion get the ass kicked with a 2 Star General...
can you do better ?
Expect a wide diversity of bandit enemys with different balanced Armys...so sometimes the usual tactics will not do and players have to think of soemthing else

LAST UPDATE BEFORE BETA RELEASE !

This speaks for itself
Thnx a bunch Paedric...

Can you get a new one if a general dies of old age with that ancillary?

I'm really waiting the time I can try out this mod. Looks great!!!

[naq]

Does the mod overwrite Rome One Turn folder?

[Sephiroth88]

I guess the picture in the last post from chris10 is a hint that it doesn't?

By the way I'm looking forward the beta release tomorrow!

Chris 10! As we can see on pictures that you've linked many rebel armys so I would like to ask you your mod consits of more rebellions or brigand armys than the original RS? It would be good because o the wider timeframe. Is it possible to make scripted teutonic, quad, marcomann...etc invasions in your mod later on? Are you planning it at all? Thanks!

[Fingy]

Does this mod begin during the reign of Nerva?

[Aristotle's Folly]

I, too, am very impressed. Well done, Chris10. I look forward to playing this mod ... a lot.

I think this must be it, knowing how the launcher works and that it draws from subfolders. Nice. I was going to do a clean install of RSII just for this mod, but it looks as if I can just load it over my current RSII install.

I recommend you read the opening Post.
Insurrections,Uprises,Spartacus etc...there is a bunch of things already implemented and during the next 2 weeks I will add some more while the beta is played. As by now there are 1 or 2 things which I did not mention nowhere...surprise,surprise ...although these events are only happen under certain circumstances...so some will have them, some not..that adds some random element to the campaign

Can you get a new one if a general dies of old age with that ancillary?

Of course you can !

yes...there comes a seperated modfolder and a new launcher...just a few files are going into the main data folder...a few images and some ancillary files, nothing really important
Paedric managed to make the launcher just on time...

[Constantius]

As soon as release and download complete I am going to start a campaign and conquer the Roman Empire, in order according to correct date, unless I am attacked first in which case I will respond in kind.

Here you go....I uploaded the files right now

[Sephiroth88]

Downloaded, starting campaign right now!

Edit: Just put down the rebellion, but seems like there's something wrong with Hannibal, I mean he took Arretium left it with 1 unit in garrison and went to stand next to Genoa and didn't move from there not even when I went with a full stack to take back Arretium expeting him to attack me.

Edit 2: In the end I had to attack him next to Genoa. Result is that I annihilated his army with 1600 kills and 350 losses (H/H large scale unit size BI.exe) but he could escape and survived.

[DarthLazy]

THats normal Hannibal stuff. In my game he had just dissapeared when I beat him but he himself was spared.(RS2.0)

[DeWitt8]

Sparta just got destroyed by free people, it's only 541 A.U.C.
I know that happens from time to time, just want to report it, because don't know if it's maybe related to your changes...
