BW: Downloaded it and tested it in game. This is a saved game with 85 territories for Rome. It is a BI game and it is "small" unit size, correct? (53 soldiers to a legion). What are the difficulty settings (for testing)? I assume H/H?

Aurelius: Is yours for BI, too?

Sorry for the double post. I've spent all evening playing Beast's save game. I've played through three of these events. Unfortunately, this saved game uses small units and I play with large units (@ 102 men to a cohort). This creates a bit of an anamoly when trying to test the rebellion. So, first question: can someone post (or e-mail to me a gothgirldanielle@gmail.com) a saved game meeting the following requirements: RTW BI (not Alex, I don't have Alex), at 80+ regions but (obviously) before rebellion, and using large units (not huge or small). I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'll go back to my game.

Do we know that the TWCenter forums will be up tomorrow? If so, I will post a detailed report then, as this thread does not appear to be secure and I'll want to go into some detail. If it's not up tomorrow, I can e-mail Tone my report and to whoever else wants to read it.

And, Tone, when RSII is released, I'd consider moving. Because if I was as far into the game as 85 regions and suddenly THIS happened, I'd buy the plane ticket to come kick your butt. Even if you lived in Siberia.

P.S. I agree that some kind of notification might be in order, so the player doesn't think their game just broke. Perhaps something starting with the words, "Do not go into anaphylactic shock . . ."

The one I tested (saved game) was from Supernewbie and it was H/H, with the large unit size setting (103 per cohort, etc.). He used the Alex.exe so I had too as well. I'm currently near the rebellion (about 83 regions held). I need to clean up the empire a bit to my house rules and then rush to the big rebellion. Postings will come later...

I've just updated the EDB in the play_Rome campaign (Dani note that we're using this campaign now not the test one)
I've changed this line, which I'm pretty sure is the Roman rebel core income line, from 500 to 1000 - it was 5000 when the Roman rebel income was going off the charts:

taxable_income_bonus bonus 1000 requires factions { thrace, } and hidden_resource nothing

Please let me know what the finance graphs look like now, especially for the Roman rebels, both before and after the rebellion....and make sure you activate the script.

Please note though that Super newbie Pro's save is in the test campaign, have you updated this one too?

EDIT: Yeah! I can edit ^^

So are those saves he posted on TWC confirmed for the Play_Test folder only? If so, that sucks cause I've been using it in the Play_Rome folder. Is this a big deal or should I just continue testing the big rebellion as-is?

Well looks like those were hours wasted away then... : ( I'm going to continue my game with the Play_Rome campaign I started personally a while back. This means I won't be able to test the big rebellion for you however. My beta testing time is in a crunch unfortunately (I have limited time now).

One thing to note is the unit sizes and play style. Have you taken into consideration that the Rome players should follow a perticular set of house rules when playing that faction? I mainly play with Huge unit settings. Does it matter for campaign balance, battles? Supernewbie's saved game was set on Large unit size and I read another person on here uses small unit size. That's drastic change.

Forum is up and running again.
No data lost, yay.

[Irishguy]

well I just dumped Super Newbie Pro's save in the Play_Rome folder and it worked fine!
but I'm off now so no long post!

Sites down again, they're probably having more hard drive problems as usual.

Right-O, TWC not responding again.
