Roman Triumph?

**Al-Masri** · 03-27-2007, 07:17

Has anyone actually gotten the Roman Triumph since .81 was released? It still seems broken to me

Seeing how many triumphs there were in the first thirty years of our mod's timeframe (I'm writing them all down), I'm starting to come around to the idea of making them a little easier.

Perhaps a general's influence could modify the requirements? So a high influence general can get a triumph against- say- only slightly heavy odds, but a political nobody has to pull off a victory of epic proportions to be considered.

Is the scripting language capable of varying the odds like that?

There is more variety in Triumphs and honors coming.. but keep that between you and me

Can do Zak

My top general has had one (Vs Sweboz), and will go back to Rome for his second (Maks) as soon as he's got the Seleukids on the run (Can you have 2 triumphs on one trip home?).

He's 37, its 223 AD, VH/H.

That's all I've had, though other generals have come close.

@ TA - how many were there, assuming you're done counting?

I have a family member that before he was 20 defeated Carthage (in it's entirety), as in no other family member fought Carthage. He fought Pontus for quite awhile (defeated some massive armies of light infantry which seem to just appear). And now he is smashing through the southern flank of the Sweboz.

Goes from Africanus to Germanicus. Many heroic victories, wiped out 1 faction, faction leader, patrician (if that matters), and still no triumph. He could easily be Imperator. Could be that he leads mainly mercenaries that get recruited after I capture a city (I leave some of the old army as a garrison).

I ran several tests concerning this trait.
I have a savefile just before one big battle and fought it multiple times with changed datafiles to test requirements.

And what I discovered? I changed battleodds to < 0.7 and disabled both battlepoints and unitsize requirements and got Imperator after battle with battleods 2/3 against me. But if one of the above requirements is active (or both), I never got Imperator after battle.

So there is probably some problem. Why is there battlepoints requirement after all?

Let me get this straight....

I have a general that has "Vanquisher of the Carthaginians" and "Conqueror of Cathargo." All that is left is for him to be named Imperator by his troops. The requirements are:

1. 1000+ troops on each side (I'm with Rilder on this...don't use full stack legions.)
2. >.7 Battle odds (odds obviously in favor of the enemy)
3. Not be the attacker (is that correct? I have to be the defender?)
4. Battlepoints = >3 (Where can I find this info out at???)
5. At least 30% of enemy killed (not a problem...usually kill almost all of them)

Is there a requirement that the general has to kill x amount of enemy in that battle to be Imperator?

Am I missing anything?

When you think you've done enough (Cavis Avrelivs Cotta had Marched fromEperious to Byzantium taking every city (after he conqerd scilly) , and giving them away to his allies, he was a ex consul, moderate, faction leader, all in all a great general. And he was attacked by the full macedonian grassion basicly, badly outnumberd. But he won, losing only90 men and destroying 1500 of thhe enemy, and routing them.
Still nothing, so I open the console, and type in give_trait "Caivsavreivs Cotta" Impretor.
Done.
He still hasn't claimed the trimph yet, his legion returned home via Athens

(They returned it to the KH my faithfull ally), and I'm seriously tempted to drop him and his vetrens legions in Carthage before claiming that Triumph...

The size of troops is based on your unit size settings (small, normal, large, huge). There's no requirement that you be the defender.

I simply have to protest against this injustice. My general has just destroyed single-handedly 5 Seleucid stacks in one turn. They lost a little less than 10000 men (everything basically, I play on Huge) and 8 generals. You mean this isn't worth a triumph?!

Maybe this comes because of the fact that none of them registered as Heroic? Because something's wrong with this in my game. I remember defending a fort with 850 hastati against a 4000-strong gallic horde, killing nearly all of them and getting only a Clear victory
