Inquiry: Interest in an interactive AAR (details inside)

[CaesarAugustus]

I might suggest that the campaign be played on large unit sizes, and perhaps M/M, otherwise there will never be peace with the AI. Or mini could FD peace with AI factions, it's up to him.

I object to the proposal raised by my distinguished colleague Marcus Octavius.

I would recommend to play on the Huge unit size - anything less just make the glorious roman army look as an insignificant bunch of latrones.
I would also plead for either HARD/HARD or VERY HARD/MEDIUM difficulty, because otherwise the AI would be too passive and the pax romana look as an outright agression and imerialism. Glorious republic should face same real challenge and real accomplishment.

wow debates are already starting, hehe :D

Well somewhere the end of this week, or the start of next week, we kick off!

I'm struggling with some work deadlines before my deserved holliday, that's why this is taking so long.


As to game specifics, i'm making it M/H and normal unit size

Medium campaign for reasonable diplomacy (reasonable in rtw terms) and hard battles for some challenge, but not unrealistically.


Normal unit size for all peepz who might have a lesser pc.

I Senator Claudius Marius say: Aye!
(hehe that was fun :P)

I object to the use of "normal" size. Most people, I believe, can play on huge size and I can play on large. Anything smaller than large makes the battles look more like skirmishes than real battles.

[goliath88]

I concur. My laptop barely meets minimum specs and I can still play with huge size units. I just have to pause to issue orders

[Maeran]

In the spirit of fairness, perhaps we should see if anyone does have a problem with huge unit size. We would not want to limit my potential supporters, ahem, I do of course mean fellow senatores.

But I do think that most people play on huge anyway. We all love the spectacle, and it does the people good to get out and meet foreigners in as large a group as possible.

[Pezlu]

I play on huge, but I'm playing on a new pc so I don't think it really counts

However, when I was playing on the "old" pc (which isn't actually that old; I bought the new one for myself, while the other is shared by the whole family) I reduced a lot of details just to be able to play on huge, which is faaaaar better IMHO

I second Maeran however, we can just say we'll play on huge UNLESS anyone has personal objections. I mean that if someone actually says he can't handle huge and wants large units, then we change to large unit size; if anyone objects about large, we can play on normal.

If everyone that participates can handle huge, I say we should use that. But we must first wait a bit and see if someone complains.
