Longest Campaign

[SuperGosc]

I seem to not be able to go far in my campaign becuase of constant bugs and crashes that corrupt my saved games. So I am wondering what year have you guys got to until your saved games get corrupted (which they almost always do)? I got to 200 bc before crashes/bugs ruin campiagn.

[Folgore]

I've only given up campaigns because I was losing or getting bored. My last campaign was my longest and I only stopped playing because I achieved my victory conditions. That was in 198 BCE.

[SuperGosc]

Has anyone completed a Romani campaign without getting half way and having the game corrupt your game?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

If you are getting corrupted saved games, I doubt that is EB's fault. You probably have some sort of error in RTW (maybe you should uninstall everything and reinstall) or there is something wrong with your computer (is it old?).

[pezhetairoi]

I made it till 190BC, then 1.0 came out and I abandoned my poor Romani. :D

[Moros]

have had only one time the game fell out. And that was because I forgot to plug my laptop in. But never had a crash since 0.8 (not 0.81(a)).

[Dayve]

Bugs and crashes? In 1.0? You're mad... I've had 1 CTD in about 15-20 hours of play so far, and i've been past 200BC.

[johnhughthom]

1.0 has been astonishingly stable for me.

[russia almighty]

Yeah I've had only the random crashes that RTW vanilla would get .


Know what I'm talking about ? The game just stops and crashes ? Restart and there was no cause for it and you keep on playing after it like nothin happened?

[fj62]

I've had few crashes but 1.0 is by far the most stable -> nice work EB Team!

I've got the Karthage, KH, Aedui are into the 190s BC with minimal issues the Aedui crashed a few times, but maybe only one or two crashes with Karthage and KH. I just reload and keep playing

My Saka campaign has never crashed and it's 230 BC

[Horst Nordfink]

I've only had the one CTD since I downloaded EB 1.0, unfortunately it was my Pontos AAR game.

[Jurdagat]

Think it was something like 191 BC or something in my Hayasdan campaign. :)
Might have been a bit longer.
Got a repeatable CTD, but I diden't mind much since it was basically won anyways. :)

Only CTD I had so far to.. ironically.. :)

[Cheexsta]

I had a Roman campaign in 0.74 last until around the 70s BC or later (don't remember). I only remember this because it was during the time when the reforms were tied to a specific date.

There were plenty of CTDs, but I could get around most of the reproducable ones by "cheating," eg the reinforcement CTD I avoided by tying the ? button on the battle announcement scroll to the command "auto_win defender" in the script ~;)

[Cheexsta]

Double post. My bad.

[mrtwisties]

I'm up to 270 BC with my Saka campaign. I've had one crash already - luckily it took place before the epic battle with the Seleukids, so I didn't have to replay it.

Not that it was a particularly challenging battle. It's almost like the Seleukids deliberately make armies whose weaknesses play to Saka strengths.

[sgsandor]

I made it to the year 200 and then found out i has never activated the script(I was new and dumb) The furthest i have ever gotten seems to be 235

[Redmeth]

Ended A Sauromatae campaign in 168 with 0.81 there were a few CTDs, but I remember only one serious one (a rebellion CTD) which I stopped by using add_population -4000 IIRC.

[EoE]

I've quit my Romani campaign in 145 BC or so. The east had been secured by pushing the Ptolemeians to the Euphrates.

With 1 super experienced über-legion, 2 veteran legions and a newly raised plus various auxilliaries it would be a walk in the park to secure the west by throwing the Sweboz back across the Rhine. At least the battles so far were no challenge at all.

So I quit and started a Bactrian campaign. My first ever and it's great fun.

rgds/EoE

(Oh, and I know this isn't the place to ask, but where does Bactria retrain it's Median horsemen?!)

[Sarkiss]

just passed 200 as Carthage and got all the new, amazing units. actually won the game a few years back but desided to play on.
my longest campaign so far.

[Sarkiss]

(Oh, and I know this isn't the place to ask, but where does Bactria retrain it's Median horsemen?!)
in Media?

[EoE]

in Media?

Good call!














So ... any idea where Media can be found - apart from the newsstand?

12 BC, Romani campaign. I had achieved victory conditions, and even conquered the Indus. That was when things got tedious, and I started a new campaign.

oh wow, thats quite a campaign! twenty more years you would have reached the end of the world!

[Pharnakes]

Yeah, surely it would be worth those extra 88 turns just to see if anything exciting happens?

What EB is it? 0.72? That's an incredible long campaign, how did you manage not to lose interest in it?
My campaigns never last longer than 180 BC...then I usually have conquered every region I wanted to.

[kemozz]

my current romani campaign has reached 118 bc and i had only one crash that was due to that invasion up north

[sgsandor]

So what year does EB end? Has anyone ever seen it? What happens?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

It ends AD14. Never made it there...

[Treverer]

Maybe a bit off-topic, but why had/has the EB-team chosen the actual time-frame 272 b.C. - 14 A.D.?

T.

[Pharnakes]

272 bc beacause there was a fairly even ballance of power with no one faction being all powerful, and 14 ad becuase that was the death of augustus and the start of the empire, when no other faction but Rome could achieve dominace. Also just a nice hisricaly important date to end it on, I guess.

[Treverer]

@ Pharnakes:

Alright, but they (the EB-team at that point) might also have chosen the death of Megas Alexandros as a starting date. T'would be another interesting starting date ... but I'm not complaining, I was just curious about the dates.

Yours, T.

[Pharnakes]

And I wasn't being a fanboy and saying it shouldn't change (though it never will for eb 1.0 at least, far to much work).

I was just expalining the logic of the eb team as I understand it.

[bovi]

There was a late period project, but it was postponed until EB 1.0 was done. Apparently it has not been revived after the release.
