Surely this can't be right?
I have just had a custom battle on the lybian plains map, with a small pre-marius army versus a large carthaginian peasant/town watch army. After the battle, i noticed at the battle statistics screen the year of the battle: 537 AD. The game finishes at 14 AD, and the roman empire was pretty much destroyed by then, the western empire having fallen in 410 AD. Can someone tell me whether this is just a game problem, or did the romans actually have an influence in lybia back then?
P.S If someone can tell me how to post pictures on this site, i'll post the picture to prove it.

I think the game just picks a year at random for custom battles, I fought one between Greeks (Spartan hoplies actually ~;) ) and Parthians, which likewise took place after 500 AD...

stupid.....couldn't CA have at least restricted the random dates from 270BC to 14AD?
Re: Surely this can't be right?
. . . You're not serious...right...?
Re: Surely this can't be right?
The date is pretty irrelevant as far as i'm concerned... ~;p
so it happened in 537 AD, lets assume marius never thought of any reforms and the carthaginians were still fighting the romans for dominance of the mediterranean ~;p

What would have been really stupid is if CA made a game where we could alter history to what could have happened. ~D ~:cheers:

Uhhh I guess you don't know this but the formal name for the Byzantine Empire was Eastern Roman Empire, or even Roman Empire. And Im 400% sure they own lybia at the time. So in other words, yes there were Romans at the time.

But there sure as heck weren't any Carthaginians around by then. ~;)

By then, the only carthaginians would be skeletons in the sands of africa.
