I started this quite a while ago and haven't played it in a while. I do plan on picking it up again at some point (probably when I finish posting all the slides). I was going to abandon this but I just got a new pc a month ago and for some reason this was the first time I was able to pull saves off of one computer and put them on another and actually have them work.
As of now I'm about 50 years in or so. Again, this will be done on powerpoint (so quick and easy, the game itself takes long enough). So if you want lots of words or battle pics, this will certainly disappoint. And if you have a small monitor this will be completely unfun.
Just for the hell of it I will post my house rules and early walkthrough.
I am playing the shameless m/m campaign on the BI.exe and no other mods expect FD.
-No toggle_fow (except world map)
-No process_cq except where mic adds nothing but the next level adds troops (subjugation/homeland only)
-No move_character except ships (once per turn and only to slightly extend the distance)
-auto_win allowance:
`Any battle with (me) 3/2 or greater ratio can be auto_win
(heavy armor, HA, elite status, and presence of FMs has an estimated exponential effect on troop numbers for either side)
`Any battle crashed is redone with auto_win
`Redundant levy stacks defeated twice are auto_win
`Redundant Xdeath stacks defeated 3x’s are auto_win
FD
-If at war and no exchange of land for >4 years, then treaty allowed.
-If at war and no battle for >2 years, then treaty allowed.
-If Capitol is taken and no battle for 5 seasons, then treaty allowed.
-If faction not at war does not grant trade rights, then trade rights granted.
-If smaller faction not at war won't trade maps, then maps exchanged.
-Around 240 BC, Casse is given Belgae provinces.
-All Gallic factions can be kept alive by giving them eastern Celtic/Galatian provinces
-Any city I own can be given away.
walkthrough:
First turn deleted all troops and all ships but one fleet (cities without FM were left 1 garrison) & made Hanno faction heir. Recruited spy in Sicily. Built walls, sewers, and roads where needed and trade everywhere else. After 2 years recruited 10 garrisons of infantry and one garrison of elephants in Kart-Hadast and 2 adjacent cities. Sent Hanno to Capitol to retrain and join army. Built level 2 mic in city above Numidia & Started building level 4 mics in Carthage and Utica.
I don't know if it pisses off the mods to post a bunch of pics all at once so I will do about 10 - 15 per day. Each pic has to be saved individually anyway. If I do a mass save through powerpoint the pics all end up being very small.
