How can you not appreciate Rome 2's soldiers?

[MagusCaligula]

Well that's how Egyptians look like in Rome II Think about it as the hellenistic Greeks, they kept representing their warriors in their classic armors and corinthian helmets although they had already stopped using it. Art is not about realism, art is about idealism Btw Normal gave me permission to release a submod for the unit cards, so I'll made it once I finish all units. Only Celts, Germans and Russians still missing, well Indians too but there aren't really Indian units in Rome II xd

Hah! I've actually never bothered playing Rome II, although I've seen tons of Youtube videos of sieges and game play for it (mostly with Romans and Carthaginians, though). I'm well aware that native Egyptians still continued to be drafted and fought for the Ptolemaic dynasty of Hellenistic Egypt. That being said, EB II actually does a good job of making realistic depictions of them. Not this crap from Rome II or even worse, the first Rome Total War, with those ridiculous anachronistic chariots.

No worries, I don't have any intention to make a Cleopatra submod unless you guys beg for it

Believe me, we want, we want now!
That would be an awesome submod, the final Civil War before the Principality and rise of Augustus.

Well I was more thinking on actually making an overhaul for the correct time of the civil war once 2.3 is released. However not sure if I have the time and patience The good thing is that it wouldn't be needed any new troops as it's still on EBII time frame, you would just start with all later units. But still a ton of editing would be needed and some new banners I guess.

So I better start begging then...

Anybody here tried custom battles against wholy illyrian (Epeiros) or Thracian (Makedonia) armies? This is owsame.

[Roma_Victrix]

Sometimes the enemy must learn the hard way that this is my port town, not theirs! My Thorakitai will surely show them the folly of their ways.

My forest hamlet!

My forest hamlet!

I'd like to see them take your hamlet now!

Here's my Pergamene Empire at the end of the 2nd century BC. It's an almost total recreation of the Roman Empire at its height, at the death of Trajan c. 117 AD. More than that, look what the unstoppable grey death-machine of the Seleucid Empire has done! They've been busy little bees, haven't they? You know the best part of it? We're allies! Hahahaha! It's such overkill. The Hellenism on this map is overwhelming!



And I'm only halfway done with the British Isles. Give it ten or twenty years and those Pritanoi won't be around at all. I plan on conquering the Suebi after that, and then perhaps breaking my alliance with the Seleucids and warring with them just to make things epic. I'm far more powerful than the Seleucids, though, seeing how the Ptolemies, Hayastan, Getai, and Qart-Hadast are all tributary vassal factions belonging to me. At this rate the Seleucids might wipe out the Boii, Lugians, and Scythians just to reach my northern borders in Central and Eastern Europe!

Your map is completely bonkers. Realistically speaking, why would the Macedonians bother with the Baltic Sea and the Russian steppe before conquering the rich, cultivated, settled, civilized known world of the Mediterranean? It's totally backwards.

My map and empire turned out to be much more logical, seeing how I deliberately aimed at recreating the Roman Empire.

However, the Seleukids in my campaign are almost as bonkers as your Macedonians, I'd say. The Seleukids in my campaign have already taken much of what is today's Ukraine and are moving into what is now modern-day Poland. They also have the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It's so silly! It's hard to see how this would happen in real life.

I do like how your Koinon Hellenon is just barely hanging on, though, in Crete and Rhodes. KH STRONK!!!

EDIT: By the way, I've completed my conquest of the British Isles! In record time, historically speaking, since it's only 89 BC. Take that, Romans!



The Pritanoi have only one stronghold now, in what is today's Northern Ireland. I'll crush them soon enough and move on to defeating the Suebi, possibly leaving them alone as a fun hostile faction in Scandinavia. I'm going to evict them from Germania altogether, though. Perhaps I'll even conquer half of the Boii areas, although I'll leave them with enough territory to serve as a buffer between me and the Seleukids. It sounds crazy to say that about Eastern Europe, but that's the new reality here.

Ever since the sacking of Pella nearly 100 years before, Antigonus Gonatas set the agenda for the rest of the empire's future, instilling and fostering the culture of conquering all northern barbaroi and bringing them under the Makedonian yoke so that this would never happen again. A manifest destiny to reach the northern shores. His sons and their sons after them have followed this divine mandate lo' these many years. And the Sauromatae brought this on themselves. Twice they attacked our Bosphoran holdings and the menace could not be allowed to roam free and threaten our borders any longer. The king and his heir brother have led a decade long campaign in those wastelands to bring the horselords to heel. A final battle awaits from which there is a good chance one or both may not return.

[Hummer]

Do you actually play all your battles? I can't imagine the time needed to play to 89BC with an empire that size. You must auto resolve a lot?...
