Any Famous People in RTW?

[caspian]

I remember there were lots of notables in MTW (Richard the Lionhearted, William Wallace, El Cid, etc.), but I can't find anyone in RTW. Like Gaius Marius, Sulla, Pompey Magnus, Scipio Africanus, Perseus. Do they exist? Are they hidden in the late years of the game?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yes and no.

In the historical battles, people such as Caesar, Hannibal, Pyrrhus of Eprius, etc. exist and command armies.

However, in the actual campaign these people do not come along, with one exception: Marius's reforms are incorporated in the game by unlocking a second military tech tree for the Roman factions.

Actually, it's possible to have characters named after these historical "notables" as you call them. They may not exist at the time they actually did, but names such as "Gaius Julius" and "Hannibal Barca" are in the names file and can come up at any time in the game.

you have a few. when the game start most faction leaders and some members are famous persons. you can run into julius ceasar and hannibal but just by name. they wont have special traits like the famous persons in MTW (jean dárc, henry the lion etc) and also they wont be in the right time likely either

[Glaucus]

I'm pretty sure Publius Scipio Africanus Major, who you mentioned, is scripted to be born and mature in the Scpii family.

[Craterus]

I don't think any of the characters are scripted. Names are almost entirely randomly generated.

Well, you get historical persons like Archimedes as ancilliaries, but not as generals.
