Roman Governor Teaser

[Zaknafien]

Figured I would give you guys a glimpse of the Roman Provincial Governor system, since the Seleucid satrapies were previewed. In this shot, you can see the selected Governor has been appointed Propraetor of Corsica and Sardinia, because he had previously been appointed Praetor in Rome.

Awww, man, now I have to play a Romani campaign too?

Enough new features, please. I mean, I do have kids! :P

[Spoofa]

Awesome Stuff, even more things to do with the already full Romani faction

So what are the bonuses for this Ancilliary?

[The Celt]

I hope the Celts get something like this, because I never play as either the Romans or the AS. Romans are just too predictable, and the AS practically have their Empire already!

[d'Arthez]

Lovely features. Why is EB so well developed??? I will keep constantly redoing my order of play list.

Thumbs up for the team.

[CaesarAugustus]

I think EB 1.0 is going to take over my life when it's released... I'll have to get a chamber pot to put under my desk....

[shlin28]

Grrrrrrrr....

List of Factions to play: Aedui, Saba and now Rome!!!

[johnhughthom]

I take it the ancillary in itself gives no bonuses but gives the trait, and if the ancilliary is taken away the trait is removed? Or have I got it totally wrong?

[The Celt]

Agreed. EB 1.0 release date = bye bye good grades....

[BozosLiveHere]

Actually, you only get the bonuses if your general stays in the province. If he moves away, even if he keeps the ancillary, the bonuses go away until he comes back.

[Ozymandias]

Is Atiga a new city for Carthage? You can see it a little south of Sardinia.

[johnhughthom]

I thought there were to be absolutely no map changes until EB2

[Spoofa]

yeah that was AFTER they changed these cities around.

yes Atiga is a new city, they previewed it a long long time ago, along with the new map textures and Babylon.

[Respenus]

Yes, we know that, but what if he give his ancillary to someone ELSE? Does that person then get the bonuses.

Plus, anyone in his right mind would use his general somewhere else, not on two islands (of course we know Corsica is the most important of them all).

BTW, you guys didn't answer my question in teaser 4. Do we get to recruit generals? That would make the whole thing much more logical.

well, when you create type 4 governments you are spawned a governor

so..... yes ish kinda?

There's going to be a Babylon? Awesome!

[johnhughthom]

I have a question about Roman traits, when my Roman generals come of age I send them off with a more experienced general for 10 years to simulate the military service needed for a political career but they always stay as "green" as they aren't actually in command of the army despite the fact they often have a lot of battles under their belt. Is this going to change in the new build or are there hardcoded problems stopping it? Or perhaps you don't think it's a problem and despite having a lot of battle experience they perhaps don't have proper command experience?

[Andronikos]

Ha, Zak makes his own underground teasers

[EdwardL]

FAKE! clearly you cant have 2 mouse pointers on one screen.


fake.

[Radier]

Very nice addition to the allready mindblowing fun historylesson EB is.

[Redmeth]

FAKE! clearly you cant have 2 mouse pointers on one screen.


fake.

Oh man I knew they'd catch on... Zak, I told you to be more careful... Now EdwardL will have to be stowed away in one of EB's top secret prison located in my basement...

(check my location if you don't get the joke..)

[Zaknafien]

Youre right, theres no such thing as EB 1.0 ;)

[Respenus]

well, when you create type 4 governments you are spawned a governor

so..... yes ish kinda?

Yeh, but they can't move.

[Watchman]

Outta curiosity, what happens if the "owner" of the ancialliary thingy dies ? Or does anyone who qualifies and sticks around governing the province(s) in question simply get one equally ?

[Zaknafien]

Yes, they are transferrable, and whoever you transfer it to will get the appropriate trait if he goes to the city.

And if a character dies, the next character who meets the critera in that city will get the ancilliary and trait.

Aren't the criteria capturing the islands? So, giving them to barbarians and then getting them back?

Yeh, I know, sorry.

[sgsandor]

Yes...start sharpening my gldius, I will!

[Zaknafien]

Uh, no. Criteria are owning the appropriate territories that make up the province, and putting type II or type III gov's there, establishing a provincia. The general also has to be of a certain age, etc.

[Bootsiuv]

So....I assume you would have to destroy the gov's and rebuild them with the new guy in there? Or does simply having them in the city give your new gov the requirements?

[Zaknafien]

simply having them in the city will suffice.
