a makedonian heir

[caeser44]

i have this heir that owns all other family members in my faction. he started off by being trained in the agoge and then conquered Italy and sicily single hadedly, then sailed to egypt and too memphis and alexandria then took provinces near judea and syria, along with his father who took all asia minor and armenia and even media, by the way, the heir's portrat looks exactly like hax's avatar.

[Maion Maroneios]

Sweet, what difficulty are you playing on and what year are you on?

[caeser44]

im in 239bc and have completed my campaign objectives, but im on easy mode, not that im a noob, i just wanted to see how hard eb would be on easy mode, and i am quite surprised actually, eb on easy is harder than rome total war on very hard mode. im thinking about either invading iran or north africa or britain next, which would you pick?

I have been discovered!

I am Megás Haxios! I will cut down the Ptolemaioi without mercy!

NOOO! I'll be the first to invade Britain with Makedonia! That's for sure. Go invade Iran, that's always feasable as the Maks.

[Gebeleisis]

lol i did that already in 0.8 :inquisitive:

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I want proof.

[General Appo]

And if you give him proof, then 0.8 doesn´t count, only 1.0. And if someone has done that too, then only 1.1, or EB2. For dammit, Nixalsverdrus will be the first to do something!

Hey, you sound like the perfect advisor. Advisor to His Majesty, the King of Makedonia. No, you don't have to go down on your knees. But I appreciate it, really.

[Hax]

BASILEUS!

Strategos Haxios reporting for duty!

[caeser44]

We should have a contest of who can conquer britain as makedonia the fastest, then once you have, post the screenshot here, and no cheating.

[caeser44]

whoever wins is the true basielus :charge: on to britain for makedonia!!!

[Watchman]

Now the Persians feel all unloved and stuff. Think of their feelings a bit, willya ?

[caeser44]

Persia would be easier than britain, at least for me because all that is in persia is whats left of the selukids that i have descended upon with all my wrath, but britain..... so far away and the threat of pirates attacking my small fleets loaded with full stacks of pezhetaroi and hyspaspistai, so britain is the greater challenge!

[Watchman]

Do they have WMDs too ? :clown:

[caeser44]

wmd's, whats a wmd? :inquisitive:

[Watchman]

Oh, you know... just a little something (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Mass_Destruction).

[caeser44]

ohh,lol, ill have to send in the makedonian special forces and take out the launch centers, ohh wait, the special forces get there and it turns out that it is a granary!!

[marodeur]

... launch centers ...

Cool! Do you get them with the first reforms?

But in a way, there are already WMD in the game: take a spy to a plague-infested city and let it move on...Admittedly he is not yet an intercontinal- reach-weapon...

[Gaivs]

Yeh well, my Romans can own Makedonia easily (even though Im currently writing a Makedonia AAR haha)

impossible! (my current faction leader is still lacking 8 management scrolls, stupid "extravagant" trait)

wow genius! I'd never thought of that, it seems my plague-infested spy has a use after all!

[pezhetairoi]

there's a lot you haven't seen yet, like when the reforms hit and you unlock the uber Sweboz historically-accurate Blooddrinker berserkers, or the Ptolemaioi Pharaoh's chariotry, or everyone's favourite, the Seleukid chrysaspidai gold shield pikemen. The Roman secret ninjas aren't half bad they come dressed in authentic historically-accurate Polybian lorica segmentata, too! Consider also the Sauromatae horse-longbowmen, and the Saka-Yuezhi machine-crossbowmen.

[Watchman]

And the berserk wardogs. On fire. Managed by somewhat skimpily clad ladies with big cleavers. On fire.
Make no mistake, those are why the Germanic tribes overran the Roman Empire.

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
And the ladies should be screeching. :kiss2:

[Watchman]

True, but the hardcoded limit on special abilities per unit gets in the way there. :beam:

[Reverend Joe]

What the hell?

[pezhetairoi]

Precisely. I'll bet that's what the Romans thought too. Just before they were either burned to death in their lorica segmentata, or head-splitted by strange cleavers. Or masticated to bits from the feet up.

Brittania? This land full of filthy, stinking, mud-covered, blue-skinned barbaroi? NEVER!!! just kidding folks:laugh4: I would chose Iran, then through Syria to Aigyptos kill that sister loving Pharaoh, get back Alexandros' body and then... well ýou 'll see what you 'll do after that:sweatdrop:

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

The race for Britannia will not start before 1.1 is out!

Will 1.1 feature the long awaited feature of the Return-Alexandros-to-Pella-mission?

[caeser44]

i actually wish that there would be no 1.1, since i hust downloaded 1.0 a month ago, and i have dial- up, so 1.1 will take a week to download and if i dont download 1.1, i will not have support in the technical support forums because only 1.1 will be supported, so why cant 1.1 be released in like 5 or 6 months.:beam:

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
Most likely there'd be an update version for us 1.0 players. :yes:

[caeser44]

yess!!! (jumps for joy)
