Ok, I dont know, if it is good idea to post my empire here, but Ill try it.

Play Rome, H/H, Alex

I had a really big troble with Averni. They tried to invade north Italy and I had little money. It looked really bad for me, but I quicky discovered that I dont need much to defeat them. All I needed was 2 - 3 full-stack armies with good generals.

As I was just defending and not building new buildings and not recruiting new soldiers my economy started to recover.

I gained money really slowly, but then I discovered that I have multiple governerors in my settlements and not every of them is good. So, I replaced almost every governeror with better one and the result amazed me! My profit rose from 20k to 90k!

I recruited few legions and I cleared north Italy. Then I quicky captured Averni capital (I did the same thing with Carthage. After I took Carthago they became really weak) and half of their cities.

But then something happened... To be honest, I thought they will push me back to Italy. I had only to cities capable of recruiting legions. But I defeated stack after stack and I defended my cities. By that time I had superb economy! I was contructing the most expensive buildings + I was recruiting one legion (10 cohorts, 4 archers, 4 calvary) per turn. Even with these expenses I was gaining money.

After the battles Averni had only two towns, so I took them and I destroyed them :) Carthage was also very weak, so I destroyed them too :)

isn't it a wonderful feeling when a nation is destroyed? I was kind of saying to myself "HAHA SUCKERS!!! DO NOT CHALLENGE ME!!" I had an ego you could actually see for days :P
but enough gibberish, tonyw/tone will your changes affect super newbie pro's save? Or will someone have play all the way again? if the changes do take affect could you tell me when you've updated? i'll start a new go then :)

[Irishguy]

that's when I destroyed carthage BTW :)

I'm almost sure it won't affect the save game. If it is only the script, it won't, if tone change something else, maybe, but probably not.

yes battles only! and I haven't restarted my campaign... is that why the error persists Paedric?

Even if you change the time of the battle in the settings?

@Naked Fanatic - You're not running the script on reload...that's the advisor is sitting there and why you're able to accumulate more wealth and why the other factions seems weaker. You need to click the advisor when you reload the campaign. Sorry, it's not as easy as that!

@Irishguy - yes it'll be savegame compatible and I'll let you know when it's ready.

@DVK - where do we find the place to improve the Roman rebel core income? I'm thinking about adding names to the non-Roman campaigns.....can we just add them at the bottom of the list without causing CTDs?

Could you please explain me, how the script works? I have no idea I have to click on it Maybe it will be good to add text to the advisor. Something like - click me. Im sure the will be a lot of players who wont know why the advisor is always trying to tell them something.

I run a silent advisor, so when I reload a campaign, I click on any city and the advisor appears. Click on her and the script is running. I believe you even get a message that says "RS script running." Anything you do before you click on the advisor is "unscripted" and, obviously, anything you do after is scripted. At least that's how it works on my machine. :)

A good way to know if the script is running is that you will get 1 denario when it activates.
Btw great to see you again.

Well since TWC is screwed over I guess I have to post here for this. I hope I don't screw over any secrets now.

@Paedric: in MP version the Daoi still uses Rhompharoi skins instead of their own, it needs urgent fixing. Then it would be nice if you also added the Rhompharoi below the Daoi in the MP EDU. I setup the stats for each once that down. Hm yeah I also need a list of all factions that I am able to attach the Rhompharoi to.

And, Hi!

[Paedric]

Oh ya, forgot about that, I knew there was something.
On it right now.

[tonyw]

All factions can use the rhomphaiophoroi

[Paedric]

Which unit is it exactly? (EDU name?)

[Galvanized Iron]

I wouldn't know what they are called now after Tone added the Rhompharoi, but the Daoi is called Thraikan Elite Falxmen in the MP EDU and they are using the Rhompharoi skin, but have the correct unit card.

@ galvanized iron... I wanted to say this in twcenter but you know... anyway that unit's name you couldn't pronounce is Rhomphaiophoroi in Greek and the equivalent in the Latin alphabet would be Romfaioforoi (Ancient Greek) and Romfeofori (Modern Greek)... (Italian sounds)

[Irishguy]

What's al this about TWC being dead? is it? if so :'(

[TTRouble]

Hi Guys

Well its good to be posting updates somewhere and totalar.org seems to be a pretty nice site too.

I've been ploughing along with my Macedon campaign and I've had a several crashes right in the middle of a battle. I'll post the crash dump info for each of them and screenshots of the armies and untis involved.

@Tone/DVK - I built the necessary building in Pellas for the level 2/3 barracks and that was fine. So tanks for the headsup on that. However, the merc building just refuses to appear. I'm going to go back to a previous save and see if i create the other buildings first and then build the mercs to see if it still occurs.

On another note, I kicked off a Selecuids campaign as I didn;t see anyone really playing them as a faction. I'd like to post my thoughts on that and some unit descriptions that aren;t correct and also an app crash consistently within one battle against the Parthians. So far that campaign's going good - although all of the Selecuid family members except for the faction leader seem to be just a bunch of crooks! Corruption is just so rampant that I had I had to start over and change my usual strategy in building up the economy which works perefectly for Macedon but not for the Selecuids. The new strategy is working fine... apprx 25k-35k profit per turn .. where as the first time around .. it nose dived to less than 3k and then into the negatives. I've been giving the Parthian's a good pasting... a wee bit of their own medicine and thats such a nice feeling!

TWCenter will most likely be down for some time.

Crap....our 'home' is dead. Anyway, Tone......no, it isn't difficult to add names for the Romans, since their name files are a bit different from all the others, and as long as names are 'added', and nothing is changed, it won't hurt any campaigns.

If you can, tell me what names you would like in the game, and I'll add them. If you want names added in the other campaigns, that's no issue either...except, I would only be able to add them in the installer unless I upload the new Sarmatian\Scythian names and wreck all the other campaigns. Maybe it's time to do that...it's just that I fear that without being able to communicate with all Beta Testers it would leave some people broken without knowing why.
