Playing past 14 AD...

[anubis88]

Well, in my current Roman campaign i'm at 93 BC, and i'm still having loads of fun. The Marians really revive your game, and it's awesome playing right now.
However i also want the Imperial reforms to happen, when they should, around 27 BC, but that leaves only 45 years of playing with them. I really want to know what happens next. I remember someone said that nothing happens, and that you can continue the game, but then again someone said you can't continue it. What happens then? Does the script end?

Also how many of you have the experience of playing with the Augustan units? What changes after the reform? I mean in a useful way, not you get the new units etc... Which units stop being recruitable? which units stay? Any help would be welcomed

[Unintended BM]

I think the script stops, so other factions won't get financial aid and other stuff the script does won't happen.

I guess if you got 14AD you will be forced to got bsck to the menu, because it is simply, the end. Any confirmation?

BTW, the year 0 does not exist

Yeah, learned this the hard way last week in college. Made a misscalculation on an important paper, when comparing how much time passed between certain falls of rome. My mentor wasn't to angry though

[Megas Methuselah]

Naw, the script really doesn't end, does it? I've always been told that you can easily play past 14 AD...?

[Macilrille]

Try a search, I am almost certain the same question was asked and answered half a year ago. I am also almost certain that the answer is you can play on, but the script stops, including seasons, or that the RTW script itself stops, so you cannot at all.

"Search" is your friend...

Edited to add, I did the search for you. Here is a thread that presumes to give the answer before the Roman-flaming starts (and people wonder why I dislike the Roman-haters).

I thought I read somewhere that there is a 66 B.C. crash when playing as Romans that can't be overcome. Anyone know if that's true? I'm about 50 years away in one of my campaigns and have been starting to wonder about that.

[Macilrille]

Not true. A guy posted that he had completed a campaign to AD 14 a couple of months ago.

[Cute Wolf]

Has any 1 even lasted till 14AD in a campaign?

I have (but that is in EB 0.8 or 0.9, forget my first EB version ) still remember about my very - very first campaign, played in nearly half a year, as...... *prepare shields and horses to avoid the unintended consequences*....

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Romans Romaioi Barbaroi.... *running toward empty steppe before any fellow Romaioktonaios notice that...*
Seriously, until 24 AD or somewhat...

Don't worry, we'll excuse you for that time...

Heck, It was my very2 first campaign with EB... no, I wasn't a traitor then

Good news!

[Macilrille]

Those good news can be found here.

However, why on earth would you want to play past 14 AD? Most of you will have already blitzed to the VC before (including me), so why bother?

Well i won't... It's 95 BC and Cyrene has just joined me. The levant won't fall for another 30 years at least, after which i will launch an invasion on Gaul. After Gaul, Egypt will became a province as well. But I still plan to "try my luck in N Germania" and finish conquering Spain with my Imperial legions.

Question still having loads of fun at 93 BC is what i aim for... How do you do it?

longest lasting game i had was like 190 BC

[vartan]

It takes practice to have the longevity that some of us guys have on this forum. Mwahaha. NyQuil isn't helping.

I have an irresistiable urge to kill and conquer... plus I can be impatiant....

:( I actually want to read more of the walk through time pop ups that come every summer. they were fun before i basically seen them a dozen times before...

I also realize the dam punic wars took so dam long.. really make a difference when Carthage isnt a AI.

huh?

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

I think he means the AI is too incompetent to last as long as Carthage or Rome did during the Punic wars. And he is most certainly correct!

Well, i guess you just have to be that sort a guy... The Romans are especially suited for playing this long, since you get 3 reforms that drasticaly change your game. After the Marians you get like 10 new units, which is incredible for someone like me, who played with every unit available from the start. To get new units in 110BC is really awesome.

Try limit yourself what you conquer. The game is much more challenging if you don't blitz everyone...

p.s. My former question still stands.. Does anyone know how to trick the AI to make the script last 100 more years?

I guess the only real option would be to change the ingame date (though never tried it before). I'm fairly sure theres a cheat for that.
