Hi!
So this is my first post here and I thought I'd just write down all the things I noticed while playing the mod. I played RTW since the days it came out and I have to say this is my fav mod although a beta and I tried a lot of them lol
So big thanks to everyone who contributed to this mod :)
I'm playing as the Romani for about a month now.I played it very slowly because I want to build up my empire and go through all the reforms and such.by now it's the year 168BC. I conquered the whole of Europe and Africa.My eastern border is approx modern day Poland, to the south I captured the dacian areas.everything east of that is owned by the Armenians.
I conquered the whole of Africa and share a border there with the Seleucides who have conquered the former Ptolemaic areas in Syria. So to sum it up (yes I don't have a screenshot at hand).I share a border from the Baltic countries to the black sea with Armenia, Asia minor is completely in Seleucide hands as well as Syria and Judaea.
ok here some things I noticed:
-the whole situation is a bit passive by now:the armenians don't do anything anymore (i don't have a problem with that ;) ), Parthia and the Yuezi are protectorates of Bactria. The Seleucides are at war with me.None of them is fighting each other anymore though. I sent some spies around to check the situation.the Seleucides and Bactrians are collecting huge armies in their areas but don't move.
-Sometimes I have problems with government buildings.There are 2 different buildings of other factions in some of the towns I captured and the recruitment possibilities are a bit strange sometimes.In some areas like nearly the whole of africa for example I can recruit absolutely no infantry.I think it wouldn't be too bad to be able to recruit some simple, weak garrisontroops everywhere. it's kind of confusing sometimes, in some town i can recruit some natives, in the one next to it i can recruit nothing. same thing happens when i build Roman governments in my provinces. sometimes the natives disappear, sometimes they don't. would be nice to have some better overview at least because it'S not nice to build a govII building and then notice that you can't recruit anything anymore.I wouldn't do that if I knew before.
-Seleucide and Macedonian hetairoi are a bit too strong in my opinion.they are well armed, and well trained I know but those factions constantly send armies against me consisting ONLY of hetairoi and hypaspistes. I think that makes the thing a bit unrealistic because they are supposed to be elite to support the phalanx but I haven'T really met too many phalanx units when i fought those 2 factions (except if they recruit mercs). Anyways, the hetairoi were indeed very good cav but they weren't THAT strong imho.they cut through my triarii like a hot knife through butter.They perform way too good compared to other cavalry in the mod imho.
-Are there still Eqvites Romani after the Marian Reforms?
-I can only build a govIII or IV building in Mediolanum.
-I couldn't get a single triumph yet.maybe that has something to do with changing the original faction slots? I have several generals with titles and special traits but none of them could get a triumph so far. Just some examples:one of my generals recieved the title Gallicus,Vanquisher of the Gauls and Conquerer of Gallia (I guess thats the name) had 9heroic victories against the gauls,4 heroic victories against the Iberians and, 3heroic against rebels but no triumph; Britannicus captured 5 brit towns,6 heroic victories against the britons, 3 heroic against the germans no triumph, my emperor Numerius Nigidius Germanicus, Conqueror of Germania captured 6 germanic towns, 5 heroic against the Germans(btw all heroic in field battles, I don't count the ones when defending a town),3heroic against the Ptolemaioi, 2 against the Seleucides no triumph; Victorinus Vanquisher of the Gauls, Vanquisher of the Britons, Vanquisher of the Germans, Subiugator Athenai no triumph. Could someone please tell me how to get one?
-Pila seem a bit weak in my eyes.
So that's it so far.any comments or critics welcome.
have a nice day and thanks again for this great mod
