Playing as the Senate

[Captain Fishpants]

I don't play as the senate as it is bugged - eg. if you click on the senate info screen it will ctd

So. Let's get this absolutely straight: you mod the game to do something it wasn't designed to do - that is, play as the non-playable Senate - and then you come here and moan when it doesn't work after you've broken it?

The game has been advertised from the start as including the Senate as a non-playable faction. Therefore, it can hardly be a bug that the game is non-playable when the non-playable Senate are modified to be playable, now can it?

Ho hum.

More importantly, as the good Captain will be unaware of, from a code point of view the Senate isn't a faction in the familiar sense of the word. It has a whole tranche of other control code (wot I wrote) which will be bypassed if it has no AI controller (which it won't if it's under human control). Execution degradation will probably cause crashes.

Don't do it kids. That way lies frustration and blindness.

i dont think people are complaining about a "buggy senate mod" from a "programming" point of view,
(ie it is NOT CA's fault)

I think the complaints are more along the lines of,
"while playing the senate may be amusing, the senate was not designed to BE playable and the bugs the senate mod introduces to gameplay ruin the Rome Experience"


In other words they know the game is not designed to allow the Senate to be played,
but just like papal mods in Medieval, someone will always want to make it "playable", even if it is only in a limited sense.


They are not complaining about Rome, or about anything from CA, they are merely commenting on wether they are prepared to tolerate (or not tolerate) the bugs the Senate Mod creates.

Who wants to play the Senate, that's gay. Play as the Spartans, their going to rule the world. But in my Empire its no the gayness, their all striaght... or they should be.

While I wouldn't want to play as the Senate, I wouldn't mind having my Legions under the Senate faction banner. That purple SPQR banner is so cool. It's so ..........ROMAN.

Um... didnt the Romans use Red as their official military color?
