Haha, I'm evil.

I had to.

Them 'heretics' destroyed the jewel of the Orthodox Church; a huge cathedral, rebelled, and destroyed many buildings. They must pay with their lives!

Is that mod Stainless Steel?

**PrestigeX** · March 18, 2012, 11:25 PM

What mod is this one? I am presuming it is Stainless Steel .

Orthodox is my fave religion of this game, they lack the Papal Politics and jihad/crusade ability, but it always kind of seems like their Religion is all the purer for it =)

orthodox does mean "the right way"

But anyways, as they say around here: the only good anarchist is a dead anarchist

**CTD_or_Bust** · March 18, 2012, 11:29 PM

Pretty sure its not.

You exterminated Constantinople? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...

**Christonikos** · March 19, 2012, 09:22 AM

What was the income of the city before? It will take you many turns to reach it again.
And seriously, what mod is that?

**EP!anastasi** · March 19, 2012, 10:00 AM

You let them rebel?

Maybe you're not so evil...

**Surgeon** · March 19, 2012, 01:00 PM

That's what Wall Street protesting leads to.

I make a lot of money through trade.

Something like 6500, my finances are fine without that city. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=278124

No, for some reason, they got really mad about taxes. Don't know why.

If you want to see what campaigns come with the mod, go here. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1468. 12 campaigns, new units, new maps (Afro-Eurasian, Afro-Europe western Asia, world map, and Europe map), new regions, new buildings, new factions... Total war.

Below is what the map looks like in the beginning.

You don't know why...?

Well, usually, people don't like taxes....
The higher the taxes, the more the unrest

that's the american perspective,
perhaps a culmination of unfortunate events? taxes+spies+bad general traits/lack of governor

I didn't list the reasons why a settlement can rebel, i just responded to this:

comprende?

**Gazz** · March 20, 2012, 07:06 AM

That's the manly way of doing things.

**Nazgûl Killer** · March 21, 2012, 01:03 AM

You do realize that exterminating also reduces trade quite a bit, right?

Exterminating a mediocre settlement (Say... Acre, Damascus, Cairo) is fine. Exterminating the biggest settlement in the game... That's just shooting yourself in the foot. The amount of money you will spend on repairs and the meager amount you receive every turn (Thanks to extermination) can easily put a dent in your pocket.

You're right, Constantinople has some of the most resources, if not the most resources in one region. Like I said, my finances were fine without that region. Egypt was occupied with the Mongols and that was my major threat.

From the screenshots you posted, Constantinople was about the last of your settlements that the Mongols or Egypt would have reached if they attacked. It still kind of looks like you just shot yourself in the foot.

**Nazgûl Killer** · March 22, 2012, 09:07 AM

Well, if that's the case then I guess it didn't really hurt you. Just for future reference, refrain from exterminating such big settlements, you will regret it. I rarely exterminate as it is, especially cities... It's just not worth it.

**Mhaedros** · March 22, 2012, 09:56 AM

Doesn't Eras Total Conquest have that Rome'y map?

Or is that only one of the campaigns? It's a really long time since I played it

**Old Geezer** · March 22, 2012, 07:30 PM

I never regret exterminating Cairo if my faction is from the far northwest. It always has huge unrest problems. Strangely, Alexandria seems to be much more manageable. If you exterminate the population will grow back at a very great rate (usually 5 or 6 percent) but all the great buildings normally get eliminated and some you can never build again. Egypt always seems to have a swordsmith in one of its Fortresses and I never want to destroy one of those.
