Before I start playing, i can have a question

**czePowerslave** · March 13, 2011, 07:55 AM

After years (and disappointment by RS 1.6 or similar I played in past which was by far too easy for my liking as I went to conquer world with ease and stopped playing), I decided to download and give RS II a try as one of my friends was highly praising it.
As per usual hastodolist, I went to read all topics related to script, help, questions, economy, traits and whatnot I could find, even tried the survival guide but decided ill go on my own fate ingame for teh lulz.

My first question to this is bit off related - i Noticed a very interesting legion tracking feature, however I wonder, if there is a version that lets me keep track of even pre-marian legions and similar, it seems to have just single list which is not enough I believe to write down entire history of Rome.

second - are there any house rules? like in SPQR we got no retraining for numbered legions unless 20 turns passed from their recruitment or no bridge battles for obvious reasons.

third - huge settings for units - do they matter too much or I can just happily play with vast armies?

Fourth - I heard long and many battles on 0 turn recruitment. While I am used to it, is there way to decrease the amount of battles fought at least somehow?

If I come up with more, ill ask.
I would much appreciate any answers to the related questions. Cheers

1.None that I know of.
2.Generally don't exploity the game and features like all cav stacks etc...I personally use SPQR houserules when I play Rome so you could use that.
3.Play at whatever size floats your boat, huge looks epic of course.
4.Look in the submods section http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=392887 dont use the EDU if you like the battles.

For your fourth question, if you want less stacks/less battles you could either do as ferdiad suggests or just play 1 turn which will have less battles as well.

I prefer to recruit my legions fast, rather than waiting 10 turns to recruit one named legion.

I guess ill give the game try at first just by playing and use house rules from SPQR as suggested per above and see from there, whether I want to change something.

Thanks for replies.)
