RTW MP Campaign - The game has begun!

[Krek]

I'm sorry. Just simply couldn't resist...

I really thought you were making a sarcastic remark so I wanted to top that...

You did read the entire post the first time, did you not? Or have you spend yesterday all day thinking you were out?

Oh no, I read the entire post the first time. It was for the few seconds between reading the first few lines and the last few lines I was damned worried, hyperventilating, palpitations, and such. I just thought of posting there where the gentleman thought I had been relegated...

Right, since we haven't heard anything of Tedward, I've asked Oaty (who's next in the reserveslist) via PM and email (and also now via this post) if he wants to replace him as the player for Numidia.

Oaty, please respond if you see this, so we'll know if you're still able to play (I know you're eager to... ).

Since you as Numidia are player number 1, you may start a new Imperial Campaign (using the mod of course) as Numidia, start the script (as described by Myrddraal), make your moves, END TURN, confirm the save, and finally send the 'quicksave.dat' to player number 2 (witch is Thrace played by Shifty157).

Also please tell us if you've started so we know the game is on!


"...so we know the game is on!" could it be? could it really be?

LordRaiden, your PM box is full. I wanted to change the list put up by you (like you mentioned in your PM), but need to ask you how .

Wait a minute.

Why is there still a ZOR?

I was under the impression that the ZOR would be removed.

I refuse to believe that i can recruit units from only 3 provinces. Thats just stupid. Playing the game with such a strict ZOR is simply just not fun or even possible once empires start to expand.

Well its fun to "0wN dA n00bZ nd Ru$l-l nd r0ll!!!111oneone!!11" as its fun to steamroller everyone with uber armies.
Can you imagine if Scythia or Numidia with their cheap as dirt troops get some rich lands on their hands?
They will steamroll everyone...And then people will come here screaming: "Numidia is overpowered!!! They mass armies are too cheap!!!"
And if I make Numidian units same cost as vanilla they will die in turn 4 and people will come screaming again that Numidia is too weak and there is no fun playing.
Empires wont start to expand at crazy rate of 15 years=stable empire nor there will be any depleted armies generals saying:
"Ive lost 99% of my men and left with 20 1 man units, so what I ll retrain them in 1 turn and get them in full strength to rush next town and next and next..."
Thus we have this crazy regenerated men conquering without the initial army that started in the homeland existing, Alexanders men reached India ALIVE, not their retrained clones...
The bottom line is that Destroyer unfortunately couldnt pull out the AoR auxilia buildings and they dont work, I told him to ask some of the RTR guys but since everybody were eager to start I got the 1.02 out with the initial AoR...

edit
The AoR map that shipped with the 1.00 version has the contested areas only for the Italian peninsula since I didnt want to influence the diplomacy...
However there will be a round up of factions and the small ones can grow in the surrounding area...

Well its kind of difficult to do anything when only three of your provinces can produce any kind of unit. Towns cant even produce their own garrisons of peasants. I have to rely on hiring huge amounts of mercenaries to even get anything done outside of my borders. It leaves me kind of screwed when im faced against larger factions with many more territories to produce units in. I need a larger base from which to produce units. Its that simple. Ill never be able to survive on three units per turn. Not too mention this means the three cities that can produce units will be forced to churn them out continually causing very detrimented population growth. Those cities that cant produce units will grow unchecked into squalor/unhappiness factories.

You dont need auxilia buildings. Just force the player to build their own culture's barracks etc. This simple solution would solve alot of things.

That is basicly what auxillias are

Well as I said in my edit, the small states will be able to grow into 5-7 provinces states under the current mod by just conquering their surrounding CONTESTED areas, the map picture thats in the 1.00 version DOESNT SHOW those contested areas BUT they EXIST ( since I didnt want to influence the diplomacy)...
The bigger states have MORE EXPENSIVE units...
Its all balances out...also we want see any rushing because of that and a smoother and more "fair" game...

edit
Destroyer I believe shifty means to create separate buildings per faction and thus force the factions to demolish the existing building and build a new one...
It sounds nice...Ill think about it, it might not work though since the Scythians are quite low tech...
