Hadrian's Wall

[General Sultan V]

This may sound like a short and dumb question but I have to ask

Will we get a chance to build hadrian's wall?


EDIT: Also will we get accurate & Historical blood line Faction leaders? I Will start a new thread about this

[PROMETHEUS ts]

I do not think so unless they span into Empire timeframe ...

But eventually woudl be cool to build "limes" and fortifications like Hadrians wall wherever we like to put the borders of the Republic or Empire .

[♔The Black Knight♔]

Why just build that wall when you can build any wall you want?

Thats what I want.

[Rikx]

Although the time period the game might cover might not cover up to when the wall was built they could still do what they have done with previous games and allow you to research building structures like that. They could be made very very expensive and time consuming to build, so you cant just wall up the whole of the empire due to the risk of bankruptcy and such.

[Evalation]

Hadrians wall would be a great feature, but i dont think it will be implemented but you could just set up a wall of forts and put some Auxilaries in em. Thats what i do anyway.

[daelin4]

I can envision this feature in a DLC/expansion campaign based on the later period.

[hochmeister devin]

Just build a chain of fort accross northern britian that are in each other ZoC.
Thoguh if we can actualy build walls that would be sweet id build them all around my boarders so nobody could invade me.

CA. Forget about doing hadrian's wall/any kind of walls.

So you expect them to introduce something that'll make the game too easy and boring?

Just solve this by making them extremely costly to build, and make them come with their own high upkeep cost. (and of course, any section along the wall can be sieged so it's not impregnable by any means, although the "wall" is actually an early concept of deep defence, so it should be very easy to defend. just need the ai to concentrate forces if they want to get through)

Hadrian's Wall would be cool if there would be some serious arse kicking action from the AI using barbarians. Otherwise it would serve no real purpose other than providing graphical satisfaction.

[Holger Danske]

Make walls a part of the general's building options on the campaign map (like watch towers and forts), but make them very expensive. Have them divided into tiers/levels.

That way you could build any wall you like and possibly name it whatever you like...

[Sir Walter]

I think that founding new towns should probably be more of a priority.

[PROMETHEUS ts]

I think that founding new towns should probably be more of a priority.

But also totally erasing them from "our" remade history ....

So imagine rising Cartage to ground and rebuild it more inside far from the sea ...

[Anna_Gein]

Then a system of military colony.
You would build a colony in a new conquered territory and then be able to recruit some of your own unit instead of the native one.
This might work as well for any non-Roman faction.
The colony won't show in the campaign map or only with the form of a fort with much possibilities of economic development.
And a province would only support one colony

[B. W.]

I think it would be a great idea to be able to build strategic structures on the campaign map. It might be difficult but there are already areas that forts and watchtowers can be built.

As far as the Romans are concerned, they built quite a number of large walls. One, along the German frontier, was the second longest fortification in the history of civilization. It was a wooden wall and the mound it was built on is still in existance in many locations. Crassus also built a wall accross the toe of Italy to box-in Sparticus during the slave revolt.

So, Yes, walls would not only be great, but historically correct as well.

[SturmChurro]

It would be a nice feature, but I don't see how it would work. Maybe have some battlefields with this incorporated. That would be nice.

Would be nice. Imagine hordes of babarian foe coming at your wall and it giving you the option to go into the battle map to watch your archers missile them to death.

[General Sultan V]

Wow that would be cool But I Don't think the barbarians can even aspire to attack the wall, It was built too high to climb but they made occasional raids.


Portions of the 120 km Long wall were guarded by detachments of soldiers, I Like small skirmishes as much as massive battles so I Hope they would include this

Interesting how the biggest empires of the time built big walls to keep out the "barbarians" Chinese and Romans ....
tough if History teaches something , the walls usually make the opposite effect of cultural diffusion instead than keep out the "enemy" ...
trooops garrisoned the walls and the centers where those where stationed become important trade centers with what was beyond the walls , the trade centers diffuse the empire cutlure thus resulting in a civilization acceleration for the "barbarians" beyond ...

the Walls where pretty similar to the Chinese counterparts concept, apart that the Original contemporary Chinese ones were made of a mud as a highground ... while the known "wall of china " made of bricks is a more modern medieval "remake that interests only a small part of the original one ...
