Rome Total War: Three Great Families

[Vasilefs]

I can make small mod to create single Roman faction instead of (Vanilla)4 different,because otherwise player who control Roman faction will have advantage because he will have 3 permanently allied factions.
Mithridate you can take Rome in that case ;)

Sweet! But i would still prefer the original version of using all 3 roman factions with the intent of Civil war.
Adding exterior threat in form of more players will merely spice things up!

Mostly in for the RP, Rome without internal factions would take away most of the fun for me.

Civil war yes, provided there are any Romans when we get to 30+ provinces per faction. Count me in as well! If it's AR only I would probably want to be a Roman faction or at least one with decently statted infantry. If it's lead battle I'll spice it up and get Pontos, Armenia or Scythia.

Allow fighting battles!

AR only would almost be broken imho...
Looking forward to testing my mettle with you myth :)

AR in vanilla RTW is not more broken than any other TW AR but the Romans have absurdly high defense stats for their infantry and they have high smithy upgrades AND temples for extra upgrades or chevrons. Which means they will splatter most any other faction on the map. Vanilla RTW is very Roman-centric.

However fought battles brings you to the different hell of Egyptian chariot spam, seleucid/armenia/pontos cataphract spam, pontos/scythia HA spam, elephants, britton chariots... Yeah

One thing that bothers me is I can't remember if all the factions are capable of building siege weapons that can open wooden wallls/fots. If not, we should probably ban siege weapons as door openers and just allow spies to do it so it's equal. Because otherwise the usual fort-wars will severely disfavor the "barbarian" factions.

All factions can build rams, ladders and siege towers. However, other siege equipment(onagers etc) can not be built by the barbarian factions.

i like all these ideas guys thanks oh sorry i have not been paying attention to this i've been busy modding :)

The problem is that building rams requires you to siege which means the enemy will get to sally and trample you with his cataphracts or chariots or urbans...
