Idea for Evolution into Rome 2 : Total War

**karlyp123** · July 22, 2011, 08:53 AM

Heya, had a bit of a brainwave idea for like a campaign map/maps for future games. In Sid Meier's Civilization 5, one of the things about the campaign is that the map at the start is small and as you expand the map grows larger. Now, my idea is that if you start with Rome for example then you have to conquer Latium and all the tribes en-habiting the region and you start off only with only a basic Village. When you conquer all the tribes then the map expands to encompass all of the Italian Peninsular in which the map has tribes such as the Samnites, the Etruscan's, Epirus etc. When you conquer that the Italian Peninsular the the Map expands into Gaul, Iberia, North Africa, Greece, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, The Balearic's and Crete which will have the inhabitants of Epirus, Macedon, Greek City States, Carthage, Syracuse, Massilia, Numidia and Iberia. You can probably See where this is going, and so the map expands and expands all the way to Japan. What do you think of the idea?

That's a nice idea but there are already like 15 threads like it

It's a good idea but it's still "Rome" total war so Japan may be a little to far. I would take the Indus instead, far but not to far.

What I mean is there is like a FOW that isn't liftable until you complete all of the primary objectives...

I dunno, The senate could be used as like an authority over different Roman Faction's, maybe when you reach a certain year, I dunno like 27 BC when the Republic became an empire, you can attack the Senate from then onwards, BUT you can't progress the empire until you destroy the senate because the Roman EMPIRE was at it's largest in 117 AD and the senate was destroyed/dismissed in 27 BC during the REPUBLICAN era.

Thought that you ment like that you're zoomed-in on the minimap and when you complete the objectives you zoom out. Something like that.

Not a good idea. A campaign game should be open ended without any "storyline". Otherwise it would be boring achieving the same missions again and again.

ok, but how do I get a message to a real person rather than a help desk assistant?

**karlyp123** · July 22, 2011, 03:01 PM

AND, is it implementable in Medieval II or Rome I as a mod?

**TheFoolOnTheHill** · July 26, 2011, 09:06 AM

Not if it changes everytime

Senate wasnt really attackeable unless you go in the curia and slaughter the helpless senators.

Campaign should indeed be open. That idea is like the boring tutorial campaign in RTW.

What i suggest is that Rome is made one faction, it's your town, but the senate is something that decides what you must do.
