Thread: Why are my Romans so Greek?

    Default Why are my Romans so Greek?

    I downloaded 0.74 for the first time last night and played a couple turns as the Romani.

    I can't help but notice one of my Generals wearing a Greek style helmet in his photos (C. Aurelius Cotta). When I fought a battle, my general gave a speech about the Greeks!

    What's the deal?

    Culture swap residue.

    Romans are "Seleucids" and Seleucids are "Romans", the cities also appear to be swapped (walls and buildings).

    Will be fixed, and hopefully decently ironed-out as much as possible, when the 1.5 ported version is released.

    A silly question: If I don't have BI, can I play the 1.5 ported version with my current 1.2? Cos I refused to buy BI when I saw the units they had in it.

    Isn't BI 1.6? All you'll need to do is download an update.. no BI required.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    To install the 1.5 patch you must have already installed the 1.3 patch, which can also be found n the downloads section of www.totalwar.com

    Everything will not be totally fixed in the 0.8 build. Voices are something we have not been able to turn much attention to, but hopefully the latin recordings will be moved over to this culture group at least.
