Poll: What should IB2's main campaign be?

[Elrond]

There are two possible options for the main campaign for IB II (IB for M2TW):

410AD campaign - essentialy the BI campaign made for m2tw (only possible because hordes are in m2tw)

Tetrach campaign - A campaign which would start at the end of the 3rd century AD and focus on the 4 roman empires,
it would include - 4 roman factions, the franks, the visigoths, the ostrogoths, and other factions.

[Anarion]

Definitely the 410AD campaign. Why should the best BI-Conversion restrict its very own flavour?

[Empedocles]

What about an Aurelian campaing set in 270ad. With three roman factions:
1º WRE: Augustus: Aurelian. CAesar: Probus. Includes Thracia, Dacia, Noricum,Greece, Italy and North Africa.
2º WRE usurpers: Gaul , Brittania and Spain.
3º Palmyrians: ASia Minor, Judaea, Egypt and Palmyra.

thats being considered, but it would be instead of a tetrach campaign

[Joar]

410. Absolutely. After all, it's "Invasio Barbarorum"...

[Csatádi]

401 would be better. More pagans in the west - more problems for the Romans and more challenge this way.
Romanized British faction could be in the game.

[cherryfunk]

410 should be the main campaign. A tetrarch campaign would be interesting, but I'd almost rather see one focusing on Palmyra's rebellion.

410 AD

I want again to see Slavs.

[MRY6]

410 all the way, a desperate struggle for the WRE and ERE and the dawn of the dark ages.

[MathiasOfAthens]

I like the 270 idea as well even though I voted for 410. Tetrach would end up as one massive roman orgy, I assume all four factions units would be basically similar. The 270 campaign would be a fresh era, with possibility of new types of units introduced.

unfortunately a 270AD mod would necessitate a very drastic change in skins for all factions yet again.

[MathiasOfAthens]

Yea you got a point there, it would just be a new mod in actuality. 410 then m8.

or we could always go back and have campaign starting @ 401/2 that is first Alaric's invasion of Italy

[Mylae]

410, definitively.
owever, once we translate ALL to MTW2, we could, as well, have time to work on a new campaign. but it could be only a further work. too much must be done to get rtw stuff on MTW2. did you think, in fact, that roman cities should ave a "medieval" look? the romanesque middle-age building (that could be suitable to represente very late roman cities), i'm pretty sure, will be misteriously forgotten in MTW2, and we will have just gothic stuff. i say so because the english developers look on their own middle age - this is not an accuse or so, but a constatation - and find difficult to think to middle age in a way different from theirs. just as example, from ravenna to south you can hardly find some church in gothic style, and even you find it, is really different from the ones they build up in france, for instance.
so, who is ready to change ALL the buildings set of 3d renders of MTW2 in RTW roman-style stuff? it's an hard work. nonetheless, it could be done hoping that "is the last work". if they have to made totally new skins, models and so on, search new infos, and definitively create another mod... there's a suicide will!

Well I haven't played MTW2 yet but couldn't we just use the Byzantine's buildings?(If they have any, mind you word of mouth is CA cut quite a few corners on this game. )

[Elrond]

I am playing as the byzantines atm and there buildings arnt suitable to use, and yes CA has cut corners, the byzantines have two virtually identical medium to heavy infantry units and 1 type of spear unit and one miltia units, and the worst yet - there is no heavy cavalry,

Byzantine infantry (yes CA is that bad thinking up names) are quite good and i usaly use mercenries for cavalry, and i cant wait to conquer america with as the byzantines

[Slaxx Hatmen]

Damn! I was hoping we could at least fake it with there building models.(Got any screens?)

ps:BTW, could somebody PM me the password to the dev forum? Our old dev boards have been hacked sadly so I'm kinda handy-capped here.

[Reno Melitensis]

The 410 Ad campaine should remain. One think, I dont know if it is possible. If there is a war between WRE and ERE, if the one fraction is destroyed can the cities in control of the deafeted fraction automaticaly offer alliance to thr victor.

[Keravnos]

410 AD.

Quite a unique moment in time.

Did I fail to mention I am a big Romano British fan?

Let the mod continue on from 410 AD and expand it in all sorts of ways, (buildings, culture, more uniques for each city) the works.

[chalpur]

i would like to see the palmyrian too, but only if it is possible.
