[EB 1.2][Succession Game] Resurgere Romanii Reipublicae (Rise of the Roman Republic)

[Ignoramus]

I'd love to join! But may I have a suggestion? Why don't we make it that Player 1 does turn 1, Player 2 turn 2, Player 1 turn 3 etc. It would reflect the somewhat competitive and sometimes conflicting nature of the dual executive. It could also lead to fun situations - one player being more cautious, but then having his patience wrecked by his more aggressive co-consul - a la Lake Trasimene.

Edit: Also pardon my ignorance, but why are you using an infinitive instead of a noun for rise?

Welcome Igno! The ignorance is all mine since I'm using google translate How is the proper way to say it? BTW how is it that you know Latin? Let me know so I can fix the image too while I'm still at work. (Romanii I suppose? I'll change it to Romanii, let me know if there are more mistakes)

I'd rather have each player get 8 turns simply to differentiate this from a hotseat where your turn comes up very frequently. Also, in 1 turn you can plan on doing something but your plans might be ruined or just not picked up by your successor. I want that history tab to show what each player accomplished - and each one will leave his mark when his term is up. It's hard to do something of note (good or bad) in just one turn really, at least it won't be completely your own effort but rather inherited by the guy before you.

The world map will be updated every 2 years (8 turns) and with the IC description I or the player gives we will get an idea of how his "rule" went. It is a succession game after all.

BTW Monkey can you change the thread name to "[EB 1.2][Succession Game] Resurgere Romanii Reipublicae (Rise of the Roman Republic)" please? I change the title but the name in the forum stays as it was.

That submod pack looks superb and I suggest we all use it for this game.

I could play one session if you need players.

If I get lousy consuls, can I everything up to roleplay them? Like letting AI fight and lose horribly.

Hi Stark, we have plenty of players from the thread in the RTW section. You are not encouraged to play badly on purpose unless you want to roleplay that extensively. Not simply taking the save, ruining it for the others and abandoning the game. Anyway getting consuls with bad character traits will take a good while since the starting characters are superb.

Also profanity is not allowed on the .org

Myth, you have a lot of courage using that image for a EB game. I don't want a flame war starting about "you know what" here.

Welcome Slysnake!

NB, well I don't care really. They did not earn my respect when not one of them stepped up for a RTW hotseat No but seriously, I gave them a disclaimer about the red colour and the lorica segmentata etc. The images are made on the fly while I was at work and they promote the SPQR "feel". I know we have an erroneous feel from popular media but it's still popular aye? Plus it's really hard to come across reallistic images of Roman legionaries using hamata and plainly coloured grabs, and downright impossible to find one worthy of a title image. I could yet again make it with a screenshot but the RTW engine is nowhere near as pretty as the M2TW one so they won't look as good as the image for WiC for example.

Overall though, not one of them responded to the two posts I made about this game, so I don't really count on them coming here. The EB section seems pretty closed off to me.
