The House of Julii... Campaign Thread

[The_Emperor]

Hi guys, I just thought I'd start off the Julii PBEM.

Settings are as follows...
Hard Campaign/Normal battles
Large Unit sizes (normal seems a bit too small)
Long Imperial Campaign

Post Patch game...

List is as follows.

The Emperor
Simon_Appleton
Amon_Zeth
Chimpyang

EDIT: Oh and by the way I disabled the battle timer to make the Epic siege of Cities more realistic. We can't have our troops withdrawing because their agreed time is up! (it will work both ways you know)

Sounds good, Emperor! I know I was down to be second in this PBM, but unfortunately my RTW-capable computer has broken down and I'm not sure when I'll get a replacement. Hopefully, I'll have one before this campaign is concluded.

PS: You might want to consider the length of each player's turn - Afrit reckoned a whole reign was too long and proposed 10 or 20 years, which sounds reasonable.

[Amon_Zeth]

I still think it should be medium size units, less lag/more room for special effects.

[The_Emperor]

Ok sure thing Simon, a 10 year reign it is then!

As for large unit size, it actually isn't that bad, infantry units are at around 80 men, and cavalry at 54... Which seems quite reasonable (and is historical) in my view.

I've never really done a PBM campaign before but I would love to try. How do I sign up (do you even sign?)

[Amon_Zeth]

Alright, if you say large is good, then it's ok.

Oh, and if you want to sign up, just say you'd like to get in. You'll be added to the end of the list of turns.

Well that's my 10 turns finished, I've lost 1 major battle and that was against Briton where I inflicted a phyrric victory on the gauls but losding the faction leader and some of the best troops in the Army, I've taken all of Spain and the next move will be a tricky one.

Unless Simon's back, I guess it's MonwarH's turn, or, if he's not here, The_Emperor could do the next reign.

[econ21]

I'm still out of action, unfortunately. The ETA for my computer is this Friday; I'll be happy to pick up a savegame at that time.

[The_Emperor]

Ok no problem, I'll PM MonwarH and see if he is interested in taking up the sword against the Barbarians.

BTW our treasury is very very poor, i suggest disbanding some of the merc i hired to support my Spanish Campaign.
