OOC thread

[Tazgrent]

I think a Basilica thread would do for Praetor stuff, but a Forum and sub-Forum plus the Consulship threads should suffice. Maybe a via Romae as well.

Another order of business. Which mod? Is there any mod that has Rome with a very small Italian presence? I think that setting would suit the number of players we usually have, plus it'd make a change.

Also can anyone think of a way to stop us swimming in money like last time? The problem is that if every act of construction and recruitment needs a bill, we don't often spend money, and when we do spend it, it is never a factor to consider.

[Tazgrent]

EB, EB, EB. I like RS2, but it has the tendency to get out of hand sometimes.

Hello everyone, just thought i'd pop bye and see how things were goi.... wait, gee it looks dead in here

But seriously, the main problem i think this thing had was lack of members, we didn't ever really have rules/mod/setting/etc that we could agree on imo.

You speak of a mod that has little roman presence in italy? To your EB/RS2 I raise you Paeninsula Italica II

It's a Med2 mod, but it's a lot better than the first version (on the rome platform) and it's exactly what you stated really, this is where rome began You can always expand out to bigger mods once you conquer this map, but i would definitely join a kind of "Rise of Rome" YATS

And yes, Carthage IS there haha

EDIT: Another benefit of a Med2 mod over Rome would be the advantage of the hotseat, if you wanted to go in that direction. Because then you could have one player controlling another faction (say, the carthaginian senate or something), granted you would need much greater player numbers for that to work.

I could play EB. RS doesn't want to work for me.

[Kubrick]

EB. Just keep it simple for the re-start. EB is not very complicated and we are, I hope, all familiar with it. And regarding the swimming in money, perhaps we can use money cheats with a negative value to remove excessive money?

[Tigellinus]

Hello, I'm new here. (Well to this part of the forums at least.) and this looks rather interesting. Is it still going on?

Thanks

Tigellinus

[Tazgrent]

It's not going on right now, but it seems like we might be on our way to restarting it. We beseech you to join in when we do, as we need all the new players we can get.

[Tigellinus]

Ok then! If/when it is restarted I will happily join!

[Tazgrent]

Glad to hear it. Just keep monitoring these thread, and you'll be able to follow the proceedings apace.

[Tigellinus]

Thanks! I will. Hopefully this will get back on tracks soon enough

[Kubrick]

Just keep checking this board, we are just gathering people now and once we have new moderators we can begin fixing the forum.

[Merula]

So did you look at PI2 at all? Or am i just wasting my breath here? Which frankly is what it felt like last time...

EDIT: Not trying to be rude btw

[Kubrick]

We all know the mod, Blip. But for a restart it is far easier to start with something we used before and already know. The restart with RS2 died after only a few weeks of activity, don't want that to happen again.

[CK23]

Dear god Kubrick and Taz as mods? I cant imagine the ego boners they must have right now.

As for platform. I love RS2 for its units, its Roman faction and its later legion. (<3<3<3) Ive never really played anything else, though I do have EB and RTR installed. I shall check out PI2 however sometime soon.

[Kubrick]

Need two sane entities to keep you down.

You two are considered sane? Whose making these decisions!?

Checking it out now. First glance it appears we would have quite a few scripted invasions from Greeks (not always the damn Carthaginians), so we wouldn't have the problem of lack of challenge.

As for the money cheats its not quite that simple, as someone would have to work out exactly how much money we should have, and keeping track of that through of the recruiting and building.

We could always have someone rob the aerium or whatever it was called.

I did that last time. We were back in business in less than 2 turns.
