Looking through this stuff as reference on the front page of the .org and it is really well done and a blast...
Reveals some non-PC thinks at CA...
e.g. Trait - Arse (which is basically combines being gay with a bit of S&M by the sound of it) can only be gained by the triggers Temple of fun (Bacchus) and SenateExposure...
So it appears in their opinion, religion and politics can make you gay... ~D
Or arse as In "a$$h0l3"... Seeing how Bacchus is about fun and jokes and drinking... and becoming a perve, or an arse in the since that he makes dumb decisions?
There are 4 trait groups, Feck, Arse, Drink, and Girls, that someone said are taken from quotes from a British sitcom, if I am not mistaken. It's another one of those inside jokes, like the judean zealots, the aquaduct construction message, and such.
Drink, Feck, Girls & Arse all appear... i'm guessing we have Father Ted fan on our hands. ~:eek:
*Ringo*
Brits...Can't understand a word they speak!
speaking of gay vices. Why is being a minion (gay) a vice for the Greeks? I know it was frowned upon in Rome but being bisexual or gay was very PC in greece in the ancient times. Realisticaly it should almost give a +1 influence for the greek factions not -1.
ps:- i can't believe i just posted this. :)
way to go "Father Ted"!!! ~:cool: i never knew three priests in one house could have so much fun! ~DQuote:

i know, but it`s accurate, but if they made it accurate they`d probably ban it in the states or similar as promoting being gay. :dizzy2:Quote:

LOL - I was so surprised to see how "un-PC" this game is when I looked through the traits.
I seem to get a lot of (Julii) family members coming of age with the Minion/Arse trait - actually that is how I came across Poohbear's files.
I was wondering, because there is not a Bacchus temple in sight, what exactly constitutes SenateExposure? ~:confused:
Yes but I believe the language used in the description of the Minion vice implied submissiveness. (or at least the name itself does)Quote:

Just noticed that unless you are Roman (or at least captured a settlement with a Temple of Bacchus) you should not be able to trigger the Arse line of traits...
Anyone seen anything to back this up or show it incorrrect??
Also as a continuation of the un-PC gay thing... Your assassin can get a catamite as a retinue member and the statment "who would have thought it of such a man"...
Now a Catamite, for those that don't know, is a young boy kept for immorale purposes according to the dictionary...
What are they trying to say here??
P.S. I really don't mean anything serious by all this... ~D
Actually I have seen a program that stated that when watching the games, many roman men 'got down' to business, if you know what I mean..Quote:

This is one of the results of not doing a Senate mission - the Senate go out of their way to badmouth one of your people in public, and otherwise put it about that he's not quite all that a nice Roman should be. Your man's character is blackened and stained as a result, whether or not the accusation is true in fact. Think of it as an early "attack ad" campaign. ~:)Quote:

Hey - no way! I have completed every Senate mission in this campaign ~:confused: Do they do this too if you are late in completing the mission, ie. in the last possible turn or so?Quote:

Thank you for taking the time to answer this question. Good support from the developers makes a game like RTW so much more enjoyable. :bow: :thumbsup:
That's actually an Irish television show that was made by Channel 4, a UK television network. All the actors are Irish, and sadly, Ted is dead now...Feck, Arse, Drink, Girls....down with this sort of thing....careful now!Quote:
