[EB 1.2][Succession Game] Resurgere Romanii Reipublicae (Rise of the Roman Republic)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

So, have we decided what settings we use?

Hard Campaign/Medium Battles
Alex.exe
Submod for EB1.2

I actually would prefer just EB 1.2 and alex.exe. I personally have never played EB with alex.exe so it would be something new and interesting for me.

Also, I suggest Myth to play the first term(8 turns).

We also have to decide what to do with adoption candidates that might pop up when one term ends and another one starts. If they are not accepted immediately then they can not be accepted after the game is saved and reloaded by the next player.

[Myth]

OK I was waiting for the others to come and post but we have plenty of players ATM and one can always join a succession game later on.

Here is a list of confirmed players as per the thread posting order:

Myself
Nightbringer
Ignoramus
slysnake
The Celtic Viking
The King
Cecil XIX

List of potenital players:
Stark
GenosseGeneral

The rules are Hard campaign / Medium battles, Alex.exe with no additional mods, is this the final consensus?

I am in favour of rolling for the turn order, just because I started this doesn't mean I get any precedence over other players. I must ask that when a player is done with their turn to do the following:

1. Post it here.
2. PM me (not the next player in line)
3. Give me the details of what happened. Any or all of these will suffice:
3.1 In-character write ups
3.2. Screenshots
3.3. Detailed accounts
4. I will update the second post in this thread with the year, the current map and a brief overview of what happened so that we have at-a-glance reference for the next player. The names of the Consuls will be recorded here as well as the players.
5. I will update the in character thread from an IC point of view as if written by a historical accountant such as Tactius, or the POV of a subordinate of either Consul. If the players has presented an In-character write-up, they may post it here.
6. Once step 4 has been done I would have already sent the save to the next player in the turn order. Finnacial injections to the AI will be discussed here in public and will not be done without a majority in favour. Only I will use the console to aid the AI or create characters however.

Questions? I think we should start tonight, I will post the first save.

I did a roll to see who goes when. It was a 1d100, highest goes first. Here are the results. List of players as per the turn order:


1d100 → [74] = (74) 1. Nightbringer
1d100 → [46] = (46) 2. The Celtic Viking
1d100 → [45] = (45) 3. The King
1d100 → [44] = (44) 4. Cecil XIX
1d100 → [35] = (35 5. slysnake
1d100 → [30] = (30) 6. Myself
1d100 → [21] = (21) 7. Ignoramus

[Nightbringer]

The rules sound good to me, but I should be towards the end of the que because I need to go find alexander.

[Myth]

Who do you wan to switch with?

[Ignoramus]

I also don't have Alexander yet.

[Myth]

I worked late last night, I'll start this today. Nightbringer wished to switch with me, so I'll have the first term.

[Myth]

Sorry guys, I trust I will be able to start this tonight. Rome wasn't built in a day after all

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I meant a map from here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...+paintable+map

[Myth]

OK guys I started today but it's already 1 AM here and I got a crash between turn 2 and 3. Anyone know how to enable borderless windowed mode (a-la SS) for EB?

BTW to play with alex.exe you have to do two things.

1. - Download this and put it in your EB folder. Overrite/replace when asked.
2. Addd the path to the shortuct to the EB exe. <drive letter>:\<directory path you've installed RTW into>\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander

I'll finish my term tomorrow. BTW King that map looks really useful, I think I'll make use of it. The other one will remain for the IC thread.

[Myth]

Spring of the year 270 BC. The Cetic Viking is up. Just a reminder, your term ends at winter of the year 268 BC. End your turn and save at the start of spring 267 BC.

You can read what happened in the first thread. A brief recap - captured Segesta with a Heroic Victory, captured Taras with a Clear victory (only a few losses). Developed our core cities with trade buildings and made some decent administrators and generals. We have a hefty profit per turn now, as of this turn are the most advanced faction in the world and we have two retrained and chevroned Consular armies. ROMA VICTOR!

I'll post screens and an IC story in the archives thread. They are here if anyone is curious to see some pictures.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I have the save and will play it either today or tomorrow.

[Myth]

Good man. I've updated the first thread, the Roman republic is doing well indeed!

BTW doesn't Rhegion allow for a type 1 government?

[The Celtic Viking]

It does. I chose type 4 out of RP reasons.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

My term is up. Sent the save to Cecil. Nothing really happened but Massalia is besieged.

[Myth]

Can I please have a summary of your turn King?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Weird, I thought I had already sent it. Anyway, check your Inbox now.

[Cecil XIX]

Here's the save.

Unfortunately, I realized afterward that I completely forgot that you have to activate the EB script ingame. Will that mess up the game?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, it does, unfortunately.

[Myth]

Really It's quite hard to miss it, I mean - you click on your settlements at some point during 8 turns.. BTW can I get a turn summary like the ones we've posted in the second reply to this thread?

BTW can I ask each player to definitely let me know if they conquered a new region and double check the map I update? Here is the latest version of our empire!

Also, check out the in-character account of the battle for Segesta.

[Cecil XIX]

Oh, I certainly noticed the adviser. But he wasn't saying anything, so I just assumed it was the adviser being needlessly intrusive, which is something I'm used to. Since it looks like the turns will have to be redone, I don't see the point in giving a turn summary.

I honestly don't have the time to replay my turns though, and I was planning on dropping this game anyway as a result. Perhaps the turns should be replayed by slysnake, who's next in line after me? Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

[Myth]

We can move you down to being last in the turn order if you wish to remain in the game but need more time right now?

[Cecil XIX]

I thank you for your offer, but I really need less on my plate right now.

[Myth]

I understand. Can you send the save over to slysnake then? The one you cannot play? Thanks!

Oh wow, facepalm, I had mixed up my Consuls in the battle report... Fixed them now. Anyone else feel like writing some IC account of their turn?

[Mithridate]

Should you desire another player

PM me, and thy will be done :)

[Myth]

Should you desire another player

PM me, and thy will be done :)

This is a succession, game, there is always room for one more! Welcome

[slysnake]

If people are eager to play they could have their turn before me, otherwise I will be playing my turn sometime on saturday :)

[Myth]

No, let's not make it more complicated than it already is. You're up Sly.

[slysnake]

Guys, where can I download alex.exe from? Myth, when I go to your link on this page, it says the servers are too buys (has been saying that for the past 2 hours now >.>..) and when I went to the main thread for alex.exe, the file-hosting site hosting the file for download has removed it for some reason. Maybe someone could email it to me if it isn't too big?

Also, does it matter that I am playing RTW patched to 1.6?

[Myth]

Alexander mod files for anyone who hasn't done it yet. This does not include the actual alex exe.

[slysnake]

EDIT: When I load the save, it takes me straight back to the home screen of the game. Is this because I am running the 1.6 patch with Alexander Addon and not the 1.5 patch?
