Do you play 1 or 0-turn?
Anyways, I'd say play a "civilised" faction, there are just more buildings and units to them. So I say go with any Greek state, Macedon, Carthage or Rome!

[Necrontyr]

ah that'll also be a good Q to ask, im still tossing between 0 or 1 turn, 0 will pace it faster

[Stath's]

I propose 1-turn and Seleucids.

[_Tartaros_]

I propose 1-turn and Seleucids.

second that.
arche seleukeia is great and has got very different styles of fighting enemies (steppe, greeks, eastern and later gaulish roman style)

[Necrontyr]

never done Seleucid before

[Stath's]

never done Seleucid before

1 more reason to try Think about the marvellous Indian Elephant

[Necrontyr]

it would give me a new target to attack and adapt a new strategy, perhaps recreating the old kingdom?

[ur-Lord Tedric]

If you would like: easier; simpler; less thought; and lots and lots of battles - then go for 0turn.

If you would like a deeper, more meaningful and challenging game that blends strategy and tactics in a robust and rather nice representation of a historically-based 'what if' scenario, then 1turn should be for you.

But that's just me - each to his own.

Equally, play: Large Units; 45min timer left on; and no 'tweaks' - it will be a good challenge. Don;t worry about some of the little details, but enjoy the overall result.

[Necrontyr]

well if it comes to Seleucid, you will see me having no clue as to what im doing xD itll probably be fun in a way as well

[Rex Basiliscus]

I agree, do the Seleucids. I can help you with them, as I know quite a lot about their traits, history etc. I was doing (will be doing) research on them for RSII team.

[GaussSoldier]

The Seleucids will make for an interesting choice, especially in a one-turn campaign.

However, I wonder how many LP's are out that cover a minor faction. I wouldn't mind seeing Syracuse, although it looks like that campaign is 0-turn only so I'm guessing that unit spam will be essential if you're going to survive.

Either faction will be good to see IMO but definitely Seleucids one-turn if you go for a major nation.

[Necrontyr]

looks like its 1 turn Seleucid then, oh boy, and ill be playing H/H just to motivate me

[GaussSoldier]

Glad to hear there will be another RS2 LP, not enough recent ones IMO.

For goals, I would suggest the destruction of the following factions:

1. Pergamon: They're actually a rebellious faction in opposition to the Seleucids so it would make sense to want to bring their lands back under your control
2. Ptolemies: Long time enemies and a constant thorn in your side if you don't deal with them at some point
3. Macedon: The true prize as a successor nation would be the reclamation of the Macedonian kingdom

You might want to knock off a faction if the campaign goes on too long for you but I think they're all doable.

[Necrontyr]

ive chosen Seleucid and done an hour record session, now the hideous render process and upload xD
Ive made it my goal to restore the alexander empire, so once i unite all of greek and asia, its unto western europe
Comedic value if you turn captions on

[Necrontyr]

Also on a side note, does anyone want to do some multiplayer battles?
I do like a good challenge or fun game every now and then

[_Tartaros_]

congrats for starting arche seleukeia
just looking the first episode

[Necrontyr]

i discover my new found love for elephants episode 3, the upload process on episode 2 went weird and failed (West Australian Upload speed is pitiful), so ill have to re upload the damn thing tonight

[carmir]

In the beginning of the first vid the music is waaaaay too loud, can't understand you talking. After that, it's ok.

In general, the game is played too hasty for my own taste.

[Necrontyr]

yea i noticed that, it gets turned down in the game itself, i could have sworn i turned it down but the game works in mysterious ways
