Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
well as the advisor SHOULD say its a turncoat legion that took over the city it was supposed to defend from Phyross. doesnt your advisor pop up and tell you?
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
For me it popped up with that information after I had taken Taras.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
My advisor said nothing... Maybe it's because i have help turned off.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
If you take Taras as the Romani, the advisor will pop up and urge to take Rhegion next, and he tells you why. Basically, during the Pyrrhic War, a detachment of Roman troops sent to Rhegion to defend the city decided that, since Rome had her hands full with Pyrrhus, they could just take over the town. And they did. They rejected Roman control and generally abused the population until after the Pyrrhic was over and they were killed by Roman forces who retook the city.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Yes, the advisor informed me only after taking Tarantum as the Romani.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
My advisor never told me anything of this. I've only seen it once this far and that was when I had set foot on Sicily.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
seems you didnt turn the script on a few times, huh?

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Your supposed to have helped set on so that the EB script can take place.Originally Posted by Dayve
When you load a game click on a city or something so that the advisor pops up and then you click the "show me how" button which enables the EB script to happen which is pretty important.
And even after that the advisor will only appear when something actually important happens, not every turn to tell you to build roads or something.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Believe that having help advisor on has nothing to do with the script! Help advisor will only confuse things up. When the script is on the advisor wil porp up whenever necessary even if you set the help advisor off, at least it works just fine for me.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Nope, that's the first thing I always do.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
in that case, you must went for rhegion before Taras i suppose. Ah well, to each their own.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
No, you never need to have the advisor on, he/she will appear anyway with these messages and the script activation.
I have always played EB with advice turned off, since the advice is completely irrelevant to EB.

Read the biography of the character in Rhegion.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Negative. Ah well, is the advisor supposed to pop up regularly in a Romani campaign?
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
In the brief amount of time I've covered in my own Romani campaign, the advisor has popped up twice--once after the capture of Taras, suggesting I move against the treacherous rebels of Rhegion, and once when I began moving into Sicily, warning me that attacking Messana or Syracusae would antagonize the Karthadistim.
Cheers.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
As the Romani:
If you capture Taras in the first 10 years, the advisor should tell you about the situation in Rhegion if it's still rebel-held. If you approach Rhegion in the first 8 years and have not yet captured Taras, you'll also get an advisor message. If you capture Rhegion from the eleutheroi in the first 10 years, there's a message telling you what happened to those you captured it from. There is also a warning if you approach Messana in most cases.
In order to get these advisor messages, the script needs to be running.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Ah, it might've been later then 10 years in my game. Though not much probably.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
I always turn the script on of course, i've been playing this mod for over a year now.
I never got any messages until i actually took Rhegion, it said the traitors had been captured and killed in the forum or some such. I believe i took Taras on turn 5 or 6 but never got any messages at that point.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
A rebel legion?
wow I didnt know they would go so far as to reject there own country and fight for themselves...
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Ehm, N.B., if you read the "History in Year" from 272 to around 268, you'll get roughly the same info at some point.
BTW, EB-team, thx for the HiY-pop-ups, one is never too old to learn more ...

Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
If you capture Rhegion on the AI turn, ie they sally from a seige, somethimes the advisor pops up and disappears again when your turn comes around and you don't get a chance to read it. Could be what happened.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
You mean, like the rest of the times Roman armies more loyal to their generals than nationality marched on Rome? Not uncommon.

I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
I've always thought the advisor level needs to be at least on low for those messages to appear. I can't really tell, because I've only used low advice with EB (and not once have the vanilla advices appeared).
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Nope, it works perfectly well on No Advice. I just started a new Romani campaign (due to some computer freak-outs and about four reinstalls), and I got all the appropriate messages regarding Rhegion (including the "Results Message" when you capture it. The trick to this is, if you win on an AI sally, i.e. not your turn, you have to click the advisor before you click on your decision to Occupy, Enslave, or Exterminate.)

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
What did happen to the renegade legion? Were they crucified?
"I am the Flail of God. If you have not committed such sins would God have sent me to punish you?" -Genghis Khan
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
I know they were killed in the forum to help save face with their allies but i'm not sure if they were crucified or just killed.
About 600 i think got killed off as a result of their actions.
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
im pretty certain they were flogged and beheaded. Crucifixion is the worst form of punishment, reserved for slaves mostly.

Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
Wasn't it actually illegal/unheard of to crucify a Roman citizen?
MARMOREAM•RELINQUO•QUAM•LATERICIAM•ACCEPI
Re: Rebel Roman soldiers defending Rhegion?
it was illegal and has never happen that romans were crucified as far i known, crucify was only for slaves and mayby from time to time in war but mostly for slaves only.
