The Rise of Rome AAR

**IvIajoi2n** · 04-19-2007, 22:49

Difficulty: VH Campaign Difficulty, Medium Battle Difficulty

Wanted to give one of these a try so first off i won't be telling it from a particular perspective it'll be a story told from multiple perspectives and for purpose of roleplaying i'll also roleplay the enemies i fight here's the little rules i came up with.

1. i maintain a strict tie to the character's personality which means i may never higher mercenaries for certain characters as well as various other aspects which i'll later mention. Also i'd like to apologize before hand my history happens to suck so don't expect anything that follows history.

2. cities can only be taken over by legions which will be led by generals wandering armies will only be out on the field as reconnisance or to put down small roving armies. Unless there are slots within a legion designated for mercenaries that legion will never under any circumstance fight with mercenaries .

3. How my order works
Contubernium = 12 - 24 Men
Centuria = 10 Contuberniums
Cohort = 4 Centuria
Legion = 10 Cohorts
============== Legion Roostor =========
Characters which have no designated in game unit will be attached to a unit within the legion
1st Legion
Legatus - Caivs Avrelis Cotta
Tribunus Laticlavius - Lvcivs Cornelvis Scipio
Praefectus Castrorum - Avercius Cornelvis Plancus[Travels with Lvcivs]
Cohort I||Primus Pilus - Gnaeus Varus[Triarii][Triarii]
Cohort II||Secundus Pilus Prior - Titius Varus[Histati]
Cohort III||Tertius Pilus Prior - Angelus Plancus[Histati]
Cohort IIII||Quartus Pilus Prior - Cornelius Avitus[Histati]
Cohort V||Quintis Pilus Prior - Didias Brutus[Histati
Cohort VI||Sextus Pilus Prior - Fortus Celsus[Histati]
Cohort VII||Septimus Pilus Prior - Publius Crassus[Principes]
Cohort VIIIOctavus Pilus Prior - Rufus Gurges[Eqvites Romani]
Cohort VIIIINonus Pilus Prior - Tharcius Brutus[Rorarii]
Cohort XDecimus Pilus Prior - Pontius Taurus[Triarii]
Legion Composition - 2 General Bodyguards, 5 Histati, 4 Principes, 3 Triarii, 2 Rorarii, 2 Leves, 1 Accensi, 1 Eqvites Romani
Game Personality - Cities outside of Italy will always receive either enslavement or extermination carthaginian cities will always be exterminated unless roleplaying leads in a different direction. Cities conquered by this man will have temples not affiliated with rome Immediately torn down. Under no circumstances will he use mercenaries.
On Field Formation
--- 4[Leves] --7[Accensi]-- 2[Leves] ------- =These three units will shift to the back=
5[Titus] 4[Angelus] 3[Cornelius] 2[Didias] 1[Gnaes]
5[Princi] 3[Princi] 7[Publius] 6[Princi] 6[Fortus] 8[Rufus]
10[Pontius] 10[Triarii]
9[Tharicus] 9[Rorarii]
--- 4[Leves] --7[Accensi]-- 2[Leves] -------
[Caivs] [Lvcivs]

I've already coordinated the army assuming that the game doesn't shuffle the unit cards hopefully it'll stay in order.
============= Council/Senate of Rome ======

Manivs Cvrivs Dentavs, Cnaeus Cornelvis Blasio, Cnaevs Scipio Asina

at Capua spawning elephants. For some reason, when Patavium rebels, they might spawn some ridiculous rebel units like elephants and Augustan legionaries. I guess this is true for Capua, too.

You have an interesting approach of pulling back to Rome, but IMO you will just make the game much harder and more tedious for yourself.

PS: As for your question, there is a way to link to a specific post in a thread but unfortunatle I cannot help you because I do not know how (and would really like to

)

Agreed, i'll take that back then it's not really serving much rp purpose and the cities that rebel are spawning units way ahead of the current time period O_o....

On the top right of someone's post, there is a number of what post it is. Click it, and it opens in a new window. It can then just be copied and pasted.
