Rome: Total War Forum Game Version I [Concluded]

[Jolt]

Since Jirisys pointed out to me Armenia is taken, I think I'm gonna go for Cimmerian Bosporus :)

Jirisys, you are welcome to send your movements right now. If you want to start doing some diplomacy, you are also more than welcome to.

LocalGod, this game will start when I feel we have enough people to start. Regardless, it should start in the next few days.

I shall send all players a PM with your starting armies, telling you the game has started and proding you to send your orders.

Turn times may vary (depending on order speed and if I have real life thingies to do) from two or more in one same day to one turn in a couple of days.
I'd like to do a turn change with all orders in, but if we see that a player is inactive or otherwise unavailable for the time being, then we'll move along without his orders. If a player misses a couple of orders in a row over a few days time (Presuming he doesn't warn me/us in advance) then he'll be removed from the nation and that nation will be available for whoever else that wishes to take its command.

Welcome you too A_Dane, glad to see a fellow Pdox OT'er playing this one too. ;)

[jirisys]

I would like to propose an alliance with Hayastan and the Basileion tou Kimmerikou Bosphorou.

Also, I will make my movements when you send me my armies.

Also, maybe I would like to point out that Rhodos should have a navy resource, not a wood one. It's an island, not a highland.

You should put a pleyer/faction list in the op Jolt, helps people choose who they'll play.

Doh!

Jolt + Company Id like to unite forces to create the best forum game ever. I currently have world realism. Join in (the thread has the link to the forum) we could use staff and your creativity! :)

If I can take the Arverni then that would be nice.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

@Jolt - Is it possible to launch a co-op attack. Let's say, Celtiberi and Romans decide to attack together Carthaginian Spanish territory. If both attackers have decided who will get the region and send a PM with that decision then is it allowed? Basically, are co-op attacks allowed?

[Jolt]

Yeap, the possibilities are limitless, so long as they remain within reality. Do take into account the historicity of a situation before attempting to change/challenge it though. If the elites/people/society of the nation you are playing do not approve of your actions, they might revolt against you.

Imagine all of a sudden Double A while playing the Roman Republic, had agreed to give the southern half of the Italian peninsula to Carthage. Obviously, the Senate would certainly oppose the decision, and some sort of revolt or coup d'etat might happen.

Usually the most prone to internal dissent are those nations which do not have a centralized authority apparatus, mostly the barbarian conferedacies and the Hellenic League. They are the ones that you have to think twice if most on tribes/league members/generals will agree upon whatever deal you are incurring in.

I thank you for your invite Friedrich, but I'm afraid my hands are full with this game plus college. Sorry. Best of luck with the game though! ;)

You're confirmed Celtic Viking!

[Double A]

Let it be known that the Senate considers any foreign incursions into northern Italy or eastern Sicily as acts of aggression on the Republic.

[The Celtic Viking]

A message from the Arveni Confederation:

We wish to inform everyone that all who come feeling a heavy weight on their shoulders are very welcome in Gaul, for we would gladly relieve you of it. Let all know that those who enter Gaul enters either to drink with us as friends, or to be drunk from by us as defeated foes.

[jirisys]

A message from the hellenic leage: Any attempts of seizing any hellenic independent poleis (Syrakousai, Emporion, Massalia) will be considered a grave act of aggression against all hellenic kingdoms allied with them.

Heads-up no.2:

You can invade by water with any numbers you wish as long as you have navy. If you are invading another country (As opposed to a free province), then your invading navy will have to face the enemy naval forces (That aren't either doing a raid against another country, or invading themselves a province through the water.
Also don't forget, Navy gives you gold (10 gold per 30 navy), as simulation for the naval merchant power and controlling sea lanes (Which is a stimulus for nations to build large navies). The chances of a successful disembarkment (Which goes around having to engage and defeat the enemy navy) without facing the enemy navy depends on your closest province to the enemy province you want to disembark.

[Double A]

Oh, does this mean it's ok to steamroll NPCs?

[Beefy187]

Am I allowed to steam roll Mauryan Taxila before anyone joins

[Beskar]

The Suebi Confederation recognizes the claims of the Arveni Confederations claims over Gaul and will come to the defense of the Arveni Confederation is they are attacked.

The Suebi Confederation recognizes the claims of the Cassi Confederations claims over Britannia.

[The Celtic Viking]

Likewise, the Arveni confederation recognizes the claims of the Suebi Confederation's claims on Germania, and will come to their defence should they be attacked.

[Double A]

So... who are those beige guys?

[B-Wing]

That would be the Belgae Confederation. They'll provide an interesting dynamic, assuming the Cassi and Suebi manage to successfully expand. So far the Arverni are the only western European barbarians with proven, capable warriors.

[Double A]

I like how Egypt lost its Pharaoh invading an economically worthless province.

Wheeeeeeee

[jirisys]

I wish to express my lack of willingness for conflict from the Arche Seleukeia and the Ptolemaioi.

~Jirisys ()

[B-Wing]

Wait a minute, are you discouraging them from fighting each other, or discouraging either of them from attacking YOU?

I don't guess it matters; I disapprove of both suggestions.

From attacking me.

It's not your approval that I care about barbaroi. That is... Until a few.

[Stark]

Can I play? I'd like to take Illyria if its still free.

Can I take another nation if Romans take me out?

[Double A]

If?

Of course! Besides Numidia you can take any nation that is free! :) Once Centurion1 was defeated as the Cassi he took over as the Belgae, which he currently plays as.

EDIT: Besides Illyria, so far free nations are Arachrosia and Nabataea.
