The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Hi,

It seems Marcus Camillus is planning to release RTRPE 1.5 later today. Not sure if he'll get it done before he leaves for his vacation however. I'm undecided if we want to use this, coming at the last moment and all that. More details follow should he make his release.

Also, there is a new update of metronaval mode (Update2), which includes
1. BI's torches from adonys
2. Stuie's AI Command Bonus (Gives the AI a command bonus, Reduces morale by 25% for all units).
3. changed descr_mercenaries.txt (cheaper mercenaries)

I suspect (1) will not work for those like us who only have RTW and not BI, but it should not cause a problem also, you just won't have torches on night battles, but I will have to check into that. I thought (2) was already included in the fixes I listed, but it seems I was wrong. Some mercenaries are ridiculously expensive, hence (3).

I dumped all my savegames because of all the testing with different configs, but I distinctly remember a starting character getting the governmentship of Latium. As far as I understand, the military and goverment traits should work for the starting characters. This was with 4TPY mod 1.8 however, so I might be wrong.

Off topic: The AI WILL leave the city during a siege if it sees an oppurtunity. Yesterday he made a cavalry sortie from a side gate and laid waste to three units of velites before I noticed what was going on. You have been warned.

Wow, looks like this will be going up to the wire. Let's see how things stand when we've elected the First Consul tomorrow. Needless to say, they should hold off starting their reign until we've agreed on versions etc.

PS: We seem to have a lot of undecideds or wait n sees in the First Consul election. Lots of votes on the motions, not many on the candidates. Poll closes 6pm UK time Friday.

I didnt realise that we coudl vote for consul. I was under the impression the voting started today. Oh well.

I think giving the existing characters some traits would be a good idea. Even you just picked a handful at random. Just to make things more interesting. I mean my character is in his thirties and has only 4 traits and a single ancilliary to show for his 20 or so years of service.

Simon, I definately think you should look into adding some career traits to our 4 starting avatars.
