Any quitters here?

[Long lost Caesar]

So how many of you haven't actually won a game of EB in the time you've played it? I'd have to admit to this, since Romani eventually get boring for me, but I've started an Arche Seleukia campaign, and if i don't finish this one i'll be damned

[Revenant]

My old computer crashed every 30 minutes or so while I was playing any RTW game, and so after my empire grew bigger and bigger, this issue became unbearable, so I quitted every campaign.

Now I have a new machine that is working without problems, so I am preparing to actually finish some campaign :)

[Moosemanmoo]

I've got about 10 campaigns "postponed indefinately", though my new Romani *shudder* is actually going pretty well

Here's a blatant attempt to seize the thread, why does the game crash when I try to force a Roman settlement to rebel?, I want to start a Roman campaign with only Rome and fight some other "roman" states for domminance

Wow just realised how many times I said "Roman" there

Have you tried bovi's latest fix, I think it fixes the rebellion CTD and could help fix your problem.

Nope but I will do now
cheers

It doesn't, I'm afraid. It just eliminates yet another cause for it .

I * only * managed to actually finish an Arverni campaign. But I have quit 3 succesful Roman, 1 Baktrian, 2 Hayasdan, 2 Makedonia, 1 Baktria, 1 Pahlavan, 2 Getai, 1 Lusotannan, 1 Koinon Hellenon, 1 Arche Seleukeia, and 1 Ptolemaioi campaign.

Simply because I grew too rich / persistent CTD (in the 0.81 days) or when a newer version of EB was released.


At the moment in my Hai campaign the Ptollies and Baktrians love sending 3 units a turn to siege a settlement. Very annoying, and as my computer is near-obsolete it ensures that turns last quite a while. I only have to raid 5 more settlements (Athenai, Sparte, Chernosenos, Pantikapaion and Nisa) and I will have my Hai VC met. Hopefully I can sit this one out. Foot did too good a job to allow me to quit though.

I am kind of bad about this. My tastes change back and forth, so I usually play a campaign until it gets a bit too stressful for the moment, or i get bored, and then decide I either start another one or go back to an old one. The result is that I have several campaigns in different states that I play for bits at a time.

I started with the Casse, but I have campaigns in progress with Parthia, the Sweboz, the Romani, the Getai, AND the Maks.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Me. I played the Romans in 0.80, got a CTD in 250BC, and quit because I was tired of them. Then I played the Makedonians until 187BC, formed a great empire, but didn't achieve the victory conditions. I quit when 1.0 came out. Then I played the Sweboz, but got halted by a CTD in 234BC. Actually I'm playing SSbQ, and only Phoenicia is left to obtain victory.

[CountArach]

I rarely play full games of RTW with any mod. I stop once I become so rich and powerful that no one can stand up to me.

[General Appo]

I´ve only ever achieved the VC´s with Romani, Casse and Kart-Hasdim, but I have campaigns with every faction except Sweboz, Palahva and Baktria.
I´ve gotten far enough to virtually be unstoppable and able to achieve the VC´s if I just gave myself the time with my Pontos, Sauromatae, Lusotannan, Arverni, Hayasdan and Getai campaigns. I´m near the VC´s with Saka-Rauka, but that campaign never get´s easy, so I´m not sure that I would fix it, especially without having played a Nomad faction for some time, it takes time to get used "settled" to it.

[johnhughthom]

Finished a Sweboz campaign in 0.81a, only the third time I've actually played a campaign to completion in a TW game and I've been playing since a week after Shogun came out.

[The Celtic Viking]

Honestly, I've never finished a campaign. Ever. Even though I've played since 0.74. I kind of do like the Moose - I get quite far in the campaign, and then I want to try a different kind of fighting style, so I start a new campaign as a different faction telling myself I'll return... but I don't. Even if I feel like playing the first faction again, I just start a new one instead.

But I'm getting quite close to the VC in my Sab'yn campaign now, and I'm still not thinking of switching! I'll damn myself if I don't finish this sand-infested campaign.

[quackingduck]

i have the problem of quitting campaigns too. i always have lots of fun starting and getting an empire established. but it seems as soon as i start expanding into a large empire i get bored and tired of it and quit.
