View Full Version : Rome: Total War Forum Game Version I [Concluded]
Don't forget you had a landlocked bonus in Gold, which you lost when you conquered a coastal province. Since it was also a Gold province, you didn't end up losing Gold but only on the Wood.
Can you please explain this, since it doesn't show up on the original post? (i.e., how does adding a province make you lose gold income? and how does it make you lose wood income as well? intuitively more land means either some gain or no gain, but not loss, right?)

Hey Jolt, why don't you use a spreadsheet to keep track of things? The original post is all vertical, so it makes finding things a bit harder. Google's doc app really helps things out. I've made one that's accurate as of this writing. You can copy it to use if you wish. Here's the link:

"barbarian" lands in front of you actually belongs to the Boii tribes, they are much more civilized than you, Illyrian pirates and cutthroats. Now, get out of my sight. May Roman boots crush your bones and cleanse your cities with fire. Ending the piracy in mediterrania
Not the ones he owns. So that pretty much makes you an agressive and paranoid fellow; I have not seen a barbarian resist the might of rome. If it is to continue, why would you be any different than the arverni?
Besides, you telling me to give you the price of Rhodes or you would take it anyways, makes you a very unstable king. A reckless and imbecilic, to think that in war we would not defend our lands? May armenia and the seleucids crush your puny soul.

Every landlocked country started with +30 Wood and usually +20 Gold instead of the usual +10 on both to as bonus since those countries could not get navy. Nations with more wood could more quickly build up a navy if they wanted, when they conquered a coastal province.
When a landlocked nation conquered a coastal province (Arveni, Celtiberi and Armenia), then they'd lose their base resource gain would fall from +30 Wood and +20 Gold to +10 on both.
Since you had +30 Wood and +20 Gold before you gained a coastal province, you had conquered a Gold province, so the lowering to base +10 Gold still happened, but now the other +10 Gold the fulfilled by Trabizond province. I did maintain the Gold bonus on Celtiberi since Iberia was vastly wealthy in Gold, and the Arveni to better cope with a Roman menace.

Care to back up your braying with an actual threat? Half of Rome's legions could send you to hell, but you seem to already be there.
Yes, I'll offer a threat. Should the borders of my burgeoning empire ever come to lie next to yours (which will likely have not changed by then) then I will indeed invade your lands. But until then, I have no real interest in your part of the world. And furthermore, I lack access to the Mediterranean... which makes any talk of invasion rather unqualified at this point.

What are these but threats from an empire who sent thousands to die shamefully in the fields of illyria? Your soldiers are pathetic, cannot defeat a small kingdom. Cannot defeat anything.
I also would like to warn Cappadocia and Pergamon, As their emmisary said:
Surrender Rhodos or yo momma got royally spanked.
We, the cappadoceia-pergamon alliance, want to buy Rhodos. Just name your price and we'll pay in peace. But if you refuse our peaceful offer, prepare to be royally spanked
I am afraid our allies of Hayastan and Kimmerikou Bosphorou won't be happy with you bullying us. I will see to it that if your continue with aggresions when you buy the island; you will have your tongue slit. With a wooden stick.

The King of Armenia condemns such unacceptable behavior and calls on all honorable leaders to do the same. Shame on you two powers. Pergamum, you are supposedly in an alliance with Greece? So much for an alliance! If anything happens to Rhodes, be assured that the Greco-Bosphoro-Armenian alliance will smite you to the ground so hard, you will never rise again. Consider yourself warned.

Rhodos what? Hey, calm down, we at Pergamon are fellow hellas too, and won't attack my fellow Hellenes unless threatened first, but yeah... my ally is an Eastern Despot, but mind you, just before the Makedonia seceed from the KH, those evil Spartans forced me to invade my trustful ally on Cappadoceia or they'll mount an invasion to Pergamon. I never intend to invade Rhodos, but if the Hellenic League stays doing insults, we'll act to give them some royal arse spankings.
Well, and both Armenia and Cappadoceia is eastern despots don't you both? Enlightned Despots :clown:
and oh, we back the Righteous SPQR! Ave Romanus :ave:
Seconded. The pesky Getae will probably end up killing themselves anyways, so the might of the bosporan navy is ever so ready to strike.
so, I think this will become World wars... all because some stupid Hellenes try to make me backstab my all at Cappadoceia. Fine, I declare our previous alliance with Bosophoran and Armenian null and void, and officially allign Pergamon with Getae and SPQR. If you want war, FINE!

I said Halikarnassos, and this turn; if I wasn't in a civil war.

I hope everyone understands, that I'm just roleplaying (so yeah, basically the same as TheLastDays). anyways, I was alligned with Pergamon, but recent events taken into consideration they have failed.
EDIT: missed something: since the despicable people of Pergamon has alligned themselves with the Getae, they can expect no mercy whatsoever once the immediate threat has been dealt with. As of now, the Bosporan king is willing to let the cappadocians get off the hook, provided they break all connections with the People of Pergamon & Getae, and join in the utter destruction of the 2 people.

Baktria would firstly like to offer its humble apologies for attacking the Seleucid Empire. Apparently the orders to the general to "attack north" (into the unoccupied steppes) translated into "attack our largest neighbour who happens to be in a slightly northward position from us". Hopefully the death of the king is payment enough and no more hostilities will come of this.

Decadent Basileus is very disappointed nation his predecessor defended for no other reason than friendship, at the cost of his life, has not sought alliance. Basileus feels sad.
We thought that this is obvious that we consider the Seleucids as our allies! However, to make things official: Macedonia proposes an alliance to the Magnificent Seleucid Empire!
Three updates:
Aplis Pleuratos of Illyria is actually 20 years old instead of 10.
Plunder ability can only be done to your land neighbours. As such, you need to have a border with him in order to be able to attempt that action.
crysis7 apparently broke his arm and is unable to play. Consequentially, the Aetolian League shall revert back to NPC.
Um, Aplis was born in 260BC and he is 30 years old now. Prince Laiskos was born in 250BC and he is 20 years old now.
Also, is plunder that spy action where you steal gold or something new?

Yep, plunder is where you try to steal gold.
What will happen with Pergamon and Aetolian League now that they are NPCs? Will they continue their alliances or will they retreat into isolation?
So the war has started and has Rome&Macedonia&Getae&Cappadoceia&Pergamum(?) vs. Hellenic League&Cimmerian Bosphorus&Armenia&Aetolian League(?)? EPIC

Pergamon and Aetolian League will retreat into isolation. As Jolt have said it before, you can't do diplomacy with a NPC country.
Also, I have no wish to start any wars or be part of any war at the moment.
Don't allign yourself with the Getae/attack my greek allies, and we won't have a problem :)

well, with Aetolian league and Pergamon revert back to NPC... this meant they'll be sitting duck or it's their ally's task to protecting them?... hmm, let's ask if some patrons from regular EB forum willing to help with them.
Let's ask Ludens if he has any time to spare! :idea:
They are far from sitting ducks, they still have their complete army and can stay on defensive. Besides, everyone around them is at war, it isn't very probable that someone will waste strenght on them when they probably won't attack them.
It would be nice if Jolt took their previous alliances into consideration when giving orders to new NPSs, so that Pergamum doesn't attack Cappadociea or Aetolian League Hellenic League.

Decadent Basileus is confused as to why a broken arm stops somebody from playing an online forum game. Surely he has two arms, and his injury means he would be spending more time at home so such a game would fill the time. Even if he only has one arm, surely he can spare a naked virgin to type for him?

Sadly no, he can't use his right arm so he gets tired. And he can't order virgins cause he used to do so with his right arm.

Nope. Not today. I have to work on an essay plus write dozens of dedications on ribbons (An academic tradition here in Portugal) for my friends who are finishing college.
Also, as I'm coming to the final college sprint, the dead line on a bunch of essays, plus starting to study for the final college year's exams means this test game is only a few turn away from finishing.

Well, Jolt's opening post did say that this was basically a test (and the "Version 1" part of the title indicates that as well), but it would be cool if we could continue this one until a set date. Regardless, I look forward to future versions of the game. :) I've been daydreaming about the idea of hosting a modified version myself in the future, since my free time is pretty plentiful. Unfortunately, I couldn't make write-ups that would be nearly as entertaining or realistic as Jolt's. :( And it really does make it so much more satisfying to get a detailed write-up as opposed to just seeing numbers or whatnot.

I've been planning a game somewhat similar, more of a mix of this and my Cops & Robbers game, for a while. The GAH (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?129450-Large-mafia-game-Crusader-Kings-Mafia) thread for anybody that's interested. Cops & Robbers was sort of a test run to see if it would work, I wasn't able to get the numbers that I would need to make Crusader Kings viable however. I may revisit it after C&R is finished, if I remember correctly our fine host was one of the interested parties, too few to give it a try though.
Yay! Hellenic league will remain alive forever! :D
~Jirisys ()
Yeap, it means that version I is coming to an end. It was pretty successful from my point of view, in relation to maintaining a balanced game. This game is basically a copycat of an equal game from Paradox OT (With the addition of barbarian nations). Only that I made my mechanics from scratch. It was good to see Rome not overpowering everyone, contrary to the games I copied from. And mostly to see everyone fighting on very similar armies. And even if they weren't similar armies, the smaller army still had a reasonable chance of victory. Events were also pretty good except the unlucky ones.
Also, by all means do use any and all information you want and adapt to your games.
Maybe Version II might come in the Summer. :P
Nevertheless, I would feel bad about ending this game without Beskar conquering a province.

How?!?! You said "50 Infantry is enough for a good chance (~60-80%+)" and my last attack was 80 infantry and 40 calvery. Nevermind the masses of units I used against them in 3 previous attacks. :tongue:
LOL Beskar, bad luck follows you like a loyal hound.
Jolt, I was wondering, in determining the outcome of a battle, would you use one dice roll (random number generation) to determine the winner, or did you break the battle down into multiple phases (as in Crusader Kings) and roll for each of those?

Nope, I didn't say that. :P

It is a single phase (Rolled 3 times when a battle between nations.). After it I roll for losses, then roll for General survival (Success chance is arbitrarily made by me, based on General's skill and total losses in relation with invading army).

TheLastDays
05-11-2011, 15:57
And just like Valve he probably won't tell you ;)
Well, you probably have some ideas?
I'll certainly refine the mechanics. Most probably add more events to the event list and make them more common. It's the events that make a game stop being a game run on mechanics and gives some taste and flavor, and opportunity for me to do some good write-ups.
Something you can rule out is this game becoming in any way more complex. This game is pretty simple and even then it already takes me a lot of time to do the turn transitions. I'm also thinking of maybe doing a more complex game, but on a smaller scale (Like for example the RTW tutorial scenario, which only comprises the Italian peninsula.)
The most promising idea I had would be phreaps doing this game in a whole different set (For those that remember my Mafia game "The Red Phoenix", like Beskar), I was thinking of doing a similar game in the Chinese Three Kingdoms era (As I'm a scholarly expert on that era). That way instead of 10 years, each turn would be equal to 1 or 2 years, players could recruit Generals and Strategists who would later be used in invading other players territories (Using KOEI's stats like "Lead+War+Int+Cha/4" to calculate each's officer's skill). Invasions and province defences could be done with multiple generals (Defence still probably using the whole army) and we'd have duels and cunning plans by the strategists to overcome superior enemy odds (e.g. Events). But still obviously simplified.
If I were to do something like that, we'd have Mil values for known people like:
Cao Cao - 10
Sima Yi - 11
Jia Xu - 10
Xiahou Dun - 8
Dian Wei - 7
Man Chong - 7
Liu Bei - 8
Zhuge Liang - 11
Pang Tong - 9
Guan Yu - 9
Zhang Fei - 8
Sun Jian - 10
Sun Ce - 10
Sun Quan - 8
Yuan Shao - 7
Lu Bu - 7
Dong Zhuo - 7
Due to the simplification, it would happen that veteran warriors like Lu Bu or Sun Ce, would most probably lose duels to frail geniuses like Sima Yi or Zhuge Liang.
So yeah, some ideas, I do have. :P
Finishing already? I only joined a turn ago. What a waste.
TheLastDays
05-11-2011, 20:33
Wow your future ideas sounds really good, if you do a three kingdoms one count me in ;)
Allthough maybe if what you refer to as "Duels" really means two guys duking it out in melee (or with ranged weapons, whatever, in physical fight that's what I mean) there should probably be a second stat... so that warriors like Lu Bu would be fearsome duelists but not that great in strategy...
I completely agree that no further complexity is needeed, this works just fine. If anything I would like to somehow speed up the turns, not slow them down.

Because every admiral knows that the best time to disembark is in the middle of a freaking naval battle.
One change I would consider is to make it so that, rather than factions producing ships each turn for owning a coastal province, certain provinces produce ships as their resource bonus. It bothers me that Rome gets to automatically produce 20 ships per turn just because they're Rome (as if generating 50 infantry per turn wasn't good enough). Illyria's ship bonus seems appropriate to me, since they're severely disadvantaged in other ways, and were famed for piracy. Just my two cents.

What?
If you have 20 it means it's 100%, translating into A+? (Which nobody ever gets)
19 is A (Which nobody also never gets)
18 is A-
17 is B+?
85 is a middling B at most American schools. Not sure how well it translates, though. I understand in some countries the grades given for percentages seem more generous, but only because the work is harder and they expect lower average results. Even here you get that in places that "curve" grades.

It came with the block schedule.
The guys who implemented both make retarded people look like geniuses.
The fact is that you can't accurately translate
ABCDEF to a 20 point system.
For instance one of the professors I have is reknowned for having said: "20 is reserved for God, 19 is reserved for someone better than me. (Though he never recognized anyone as being better than him :P)" That's why 17 is one of the best grades you can get around here.

I don't want to push you into deadlines but it would be very nice if you could tell us if there is no chance for update today, so that I don't check this thread every few hours.

Check in tomorrow then. :wink: Update won't come in the forthcoming hours (Gotta run around Lisbon.)
This is starting to feel like waiting for Godot... Will this update ever come?

I get it cuz I took theater.
Jolt what the hell is wrong with you? You host this game, say you're working on an update, then we wait for a month and you post apsolutely nothing. We're all patiently waiting, I thought you're having some personal problems or something similar, so you can't post at all. Then yesterday I check your profile and see that all that time you're active and playing some CK and Mafia forum games.
If you lost interest you could say something and not let us wait like that.
Calm down Ironman. It's just a game.
The point is not in the game, but in decent behaviour. I'm not mad because he abandoned the game, I'm mad because he hasn't said it. Just a simply statement that he lost interest would be enough.
Silence itself can be an answer at times.
*resumes silence*
Yeah, I assumed this one to be done with long ago.
I'm sorry I overreacted, Jolt was a great host, but just a simple notification would be enough and it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to post it. It's just some common decency.

Don't you mean, not-so-common decency? Haha. I enjoyed this while it lasted.

RAWR, I DEMANDS UPDATEZ
That was your post. But yes, a notification would have been nice.
(I'll be honest, I just wanted an excuse to say RAWR, and you just happened to give me an excellent excuse to do so)
I don't demand updates at all, I was just angry because Jolt just abandoned this without saying anything.
I periodically checked this for a month until I checked his profile and saw he was active all the time. If he simply said he was tired and won't host it anymore, no problem, we should be grateful he hosted it so far. But simply ignoring this after saying he started working on an update was a dick move.
Kinda agree, would of been nice with a notification, been checking in atleast 2-3 times per week for the last month as well, but oh well.
Anyways, I'll consider this dead then, was fun while it lasted.

I know you didn't demand anything, I just wanted to say RAWR, as I already explained.
