Campaign Idea

[quadalpha]

But you are very poor in explanations and arguments and just keep repeating to infinity that you don't like it. One thing is very sure related to your anachronistic problem, this game can not be done just as well as a history book, because free will in the game.
I just told you sir, in big terms, this idea it was already used it in first ROME TW, if you have played!
P.S: Are you jealous on my ideas ?

There is a not-so-fine distinction between a poor explanation on my part and an inability or unwillingness to read on your part. Perhaps bullet points will help:

1. Having private armies is silly.

2. Without private armies, your idea turns into a mass of new features that overcomplicate the economic and political systems, without a clear way of seguing into the current, faction-based models.

I won't patronise by quoting back in detail what you've written. You asked for comments, and you have mine to do with as you please. Kindly be assured there is no jealousy on your ideas for my part. I wish you the best of luck with them, though I personally would prefer if they did not show up in a Total War game.

You know very well that there were legions or units that they were very loayle only to certain commanders, and would have not agreed to fight under command of others or other leaders for anything in the world and this is already in history books.

In my Idea, there will be two types of the same units for recruitment both similar and having the same balance, little different in color and loyalty, loyalty that will affect their cost. You want a very loyal unit, will be very expensive
-the ones recruited in my name, units that will be very loyal to me, but very expensive
-and the ones recruited in the SPQR name, less loyal to me but very cheap, also in a battle against the Roman Senate, would turn against me

I really like you, because you bother so much to find spots in the sun
P.S: They are not privet armies!!!

Edited:I understand that, do you hate my ideas so please allow others to express their opinions without being influenced by your continued negativity about my ideas, you already have yours. You made ​​very understandable and clear you dont like them.
I wish you a good day and move one

I have faith that other members of the ORG have wit enough to come to their own conclusions without being unduly influenced by my negativity. It would be a pleasure to take leave of this increasingly pointless and juvenile conversation, but professional interest compels me to make one last effort to clarify that Roman citizens did not recruit armies to command, either in their name or in the name of the republic. If you tried to recruit and arm other citizens, you would have been laughed at or thought mad. If you tried to arm Latin allies or slaves, you would have been declared an outlaw and tried for treason. Command of Romans and allies (the power of imperium) is vested in a commander by Senatorial appointment as an exercise of sovereignty. The loyalty of Caesar's troops was due to his military success, personal charisma, and promises of plunder, not because he paid extra to recruit them.

You read all the OP or just read between the lines?
You seem like one of those who, for whatever reasons, they try only to destroy others ideas.
Lord have mercy, but to you Sir, I have to explain like to a little child so that you understand something from what I saying.

First of all draw a line in your head, between ROME TW GAME and HISTORY. Again this game can not and will not repeat all steps as your dear history!!!

Roman citizens did not recruit armies to command

Second, you confuse the game character with the player himself. Recruitment of units on your behalf, you take it too literally!
Recruitment of units can be done: On behalf of your family who leading the Rome, in the name of your rank title or your status that allows you to do that, or already an dictator or... who cares as long as, you the one in front of your computer, you have somehow to recruit those units! Comprende Mi Amigo ?
And where I say that "One unit has my marks" dont take it so literally again. Its the only way to distinguish between units who are more loyal to you, than they are for the Empire X.

Again I repeat like to a child who not pay any attention to what I say here. I have already specified that all this can come only as an alternative to the old and very known boring way to play a game from the TW series.
If you could create two types of campaign. The first option for the campaign, the classical and well known to all, that one we have used so far. For the second one, comes my ideas.

You already bored me with your nonsense.

The fallacy in this comment, is too damn high!

Seriously though. It's both non-total war, and a bad idea by itself. Even if it was a good idea, I assure you that the developers would not risk wasting their time on it rather than make the grand campaign the best it can possibly be. It simply will not happen.


If you want to do something like this, Mount and Blade: Warband would be good for you. A large part of it is recruiting private armies and riding around, possibly joining kingdoms as Lords or Mercenaries, or simply staying independent. There is also some city management. Mods should allow you to play this out in a Roman era if you so wish.
