I Hate Family.

[Pelican Man]

Thats right. I hate my family. lol especially my brother. I was gone on a trip this past weekend, and my brother Insisted, or "DECIDED" to knive my rents to get a knew computer while getting rid of the current one. So, I come back, and I didnt know what was going on. Well, lets just say I have to re-install EVERYTHING. he also forgot about the video card that was in there. YAY. It may give me a reason to get a new one for MTWII, but still, I lost everything. What an idiot. I hate life. There goes my dacian campaign. And my Guide. I was almost done writing it out, and then POOOOFFFF. GONE.

So, im really, really ticked off. ANyways, well, now I need some advice, should I start a new campaign, (with the dacians) and write a guide, or start with a different faction????

I'll let the community decide. Im favoring for some other faction cause replaying the same one you just did really sucks. too repetative. But I wil listen to the community, so please suggest something That you think I would have fun with, and a faction that has variety.

Thank you,

THE P-MAN

P.S. never let your brother touch your computer, cause that just means you have to cut his hands off and feed them to the pigs.

Ah, poor man.

I gather that, for most people, campaigns just tend to sort of peter out anyway. My eternal war against Gaul has left central Europe depopulated, and having to ship troops all the way from Dacia proper (even after buying every merc in sight) has left me saying, "Eh, screw this . . ." It's just a big, horrible war of attrition. In real life, I'm at the point where the two nations say, "All right, we're sick of war."

I dunno. Does anyone genuinely enjoy the endgame? I've never experienced it. I imagine that it could start to look like a game of RISK toward the end, with only a handful of players, and tens of thousands of soldiers dying in vain every turn. Ooh, I'd hate to see 0-turn recruitment at that stage of wealth. Glad it's not in DM.

Every faction has its own flavor. I've been wanting to try Armenia, which has a really cool roster, but I just can't stand the "eastern" voices. "Spain" is cool too (although the name cracks me up), feels somewhat similiar to Dacia except with scutarii instead of falxmen as their signature unit, and boatloads of crappy troops. Bull warriors are pretty sweet, too.

If you haven't tried the most obvious barbarian choice, Germania, however, you should get right on that.

[Pelican Man]

well, ever since I got the new comp, I've been currently playing it, but I know that there is currently a guide for that. 2 even, i think. So I kinda do not want to butt in and take away attention. I know people are looking for other faction guides, so I wanted to make a guide for the people. The Mob. lol jj
So what do you think??? should I make a Poll??? I think sooo. = )

thats the next thread.

Pelican Man thats bad, theres always a good side to everything, just look hard

Also bad note from me am not modding RTW anymore - reason Real Life and after 2 years of coding its bit boring and i am moving. Just going make DarthMod Movie and then wait for M2TW

[Pelican Man]

It can become a little tedeous. I understand. I remember when I played Tribes (yes, the original. lol) and I was online all the time. Then, all of a sudden, I said ****** it. It just gets boring, then you realize where is it going to take you?? now, you can just play other people's mods. its more fun that way. Anyways, good luck with the movie btw.

oh, Check the poll when you get a chance.

Thanks,

I would love to mod myself, but I do not know how. I could read up on the guidelines, but Time for that si very rare. So, I'd rather play. lol Anyways, The skins for DM are basically perfectly fine for me, cause i really go towards field strat and I love campaigning when it is extremely hard. The thing is, with my dacian campaign, it was real hard cause I had a three front war, which turned into a 4 front war. So i kinda miss that. Anyways, My brother is an @hole. lol but i got him back and he doesnt know it yet. haha :tooth:

Well in my eyes £480 for fishing reel is overpriced but dont really like fishing sitting there wasting 5 hours or more doing nothing is not my thing

Coding Easy , Skinning is whole different ball game

It is expensive, But the thing is, he is like a pro fisherman. And he spends the money just to go fishing. He's got like top of the line stuff. And now, he's missing his most used item. lol hahahha :tooth:

I started to learn skinning, but then real life kicked me in the nads and I had to stop. I was workin on Baltic Crusades mod, as a historian and skinner, but had to quit cause of real life.

So what happened to your old HDD? Formatted... sold... what?

You should make your brother track it down with threat of violence. Usually I find violence is the only way siblings ever learn anything. If my brother had done that I swear to god I would have killed him.

PS. I've only ever finished a game of RTW once, and it was a short game ^^. I find it impossible to maintain my interest all the way to the endgame, mid-term victory conditions would be better, something between the grand campaign and the shortgame.

Also I miss being able to pick my starting era, that always changed up the flavour a bit

oh dont worry. He thinks he lost his main fishing reel. lol its like 900$ just for his reel. Im not going to give it back until i finish my guide. lol haha could take a month, and Salmon Season is coming in 2 weeks. HAHAHAHA


I've only finished one campaign too. It was with RTR 3. somethin and I finished it with Carthage. Other than that, I like to get a good Empire going, to almost invincible Where i know my armies could destroy everything in their path, then I know im done. With the Carthage campaign, I got to hold 50 provs. and It sucked cause near the end, I was just bribing everything and auto resolving.

[jaklei]

Why dont you choose Thracians and aim for getting EverY port city in the game? its a ***** to keep them once you get 'em but dont use phalanxes, that just spoils the fun ^^

[DARTH VADER]

Really annoying to hear of your brother's treacherous sabotage.(I remember those rebel scums)
Perhaps a little teaching of manners would help him for the future...(ordering my stormtroopers to board the assault shuttle)
...but wait ..he is just a kid (how old is he?) teach him to learn from his mistakes...(ordering the return of the assault shuttle...too soon for breakout)
oh..and family is a good thing...just a little difficult to handle.

jesus, that's stupid.

for my 18th birthday, a long time ago now, i woke up to an empty drive, where i stored all my movies, pictures, games, and all the music i'd made up to that point. my mum had reformatted the wrong drive. she was almost as gutted as me that she'd did it, but that was no help really. =D

don't really care about the other stuff, but it took me a long time to get over the music.

so yeah, i know how it feels to lose something you've created because of the stupidity of someone else.

anyway, good luck with your new campaign/guide.
