Well, here's the revised map.

Anyone think we might want to go with a smaller map, what with the fewer players? Say, just of Europe and not Asia or Africa?

Here's a possible Italy map;

and a possible Europe map;

Any other suggestions?

Italy would be fun. Sort of a Rise of Rome scenario.
I agee, but let's make this as historical as possible, with Carthage, Rome etc.
I'll do the Italy map if I can be Carthage.
We Vikings reject this silly attempt by the Romans' descendants to exclude us from the European affair. Any further attempt shall be met with fierce resistance by our gallant Norsemen warriors!
I highly suggest a Rise of Rome scenario as CA said
If it's Rise of Rome, I'll be the Umbrians... capital at Perugia
Rise of Rome? I believe by the end we will be referring to the scenario as Carthaginian Domination.:beam:
Fine, Romans it is. Centred on... well, Rome...
Though i know I will be completely mobbed...
All right then...if you descendants of the evil Romans insist! We have warned you against this attempt to Romanized the whole Europe! Prepare to be crushed by our mighty and gallant warriors! :charge: :charge:
I shall be the senate? Failing that, the guys in RTR6.0 who are to the right of the italian peninsula. They were blue..
Ok now i have no idea who to be
you can be the Etruscans! (sp?)
Why not. So where do they start?
Come on Harchie, you remember. Think back to Med history 1 and 2. Rise of Rome?
Slightly North of rome, they were the first people rome smacked (AFAIK)
Nope mental blank sorry but all I remember is Chapman making a fool of himself
I'll take Syracuse; it should be interesting being right in the middle of a war.
I'm already Rome.Quote:

Okay, good news.
The map so far is done with the new cities:

The legend shows a 200km long bar.
Pevergreen, if you want your city of Illyria to move, just say so.
New economic system - founded on Lucjan's old system, with 5 different city levels, 3k to found a city, 200 gold per level in income, cost to upgrade is twice the fold earned at the level, etc.
What's different? Thanks to the magic of excel, more complicated economics are possible. If you guys want, I've designed an excel spreadsheet that will do the following:
Let all port cities trade with one another, making them best for trade;
let all cities in a province trade with each other;
let all cities within a certain distance (100-200km?) trade with each other;
give a small bonus to every inland city for every port in the same province;
give a bonus to a city for every province outside of its own that it's connected to;
Best of all, after the initial set-up, it need only be modified when new cities appear, and changes in case of shifting alliances or upgraded cities are very easy.
We need to decide on a density limit - I'm thinking 50-75 km between cities.
Also, I'm thinking for ships we can have fleets - one unit that can transport 1000 men, costs 500, and costs 75 gold to maintain, and double that when in the open water. For battle, I propose simply adding together the number of fleets for each side, roll a dice and add that number to each side, and whoever's got the highest number wins.
Enemy ports - can they be blockaded?
If you guys don't mind, I'm going to advertise the game a bit to get a couple new players.
Soooooooo...where do you want to be? We've got a nice bit of space in the south of Italy.Quote:

I want to be the Gaul confederation of tribes(or Aeduii)
So, caius, somewhere in Northwest Italy?
I think I'm going to be Venice.
CR
Those two would certainly even the map out.
Add me please in the map
EDIT:Troops must be changed.I suggest:
Archers / Forester Warband
Velites / Skirmishers
Hastati - Princeps - Triarii / Warband - Swordmen - 2 handed Swordmen
Equites / Cavalry
I don't know how much value there is in complicating troop names. If the details are going to stay the same, why not just let different players call their archers velites or infantry triarii?

(illyrians slightly changed to be more like RTR (I think))
