Who wants to be a mil...err...legionaire? Increase the size of your Attachments



Ok, I have an English beta of Imperium Romanum (Fantastic Worlds) finished and need some testers, lets say four or five.
Any volunteers who have enough time to:

-testplay (over 400turns), perhaps more than once
-do a bit spell checking
-are interested in ancient history to look for "historical" mistakes (this point is of course not sooo important, you can play without being an history expert, but it would be nice... )

So, if you are interested, give me a mail adress and IŽll mail the scn to you in the next days...Thanks

Thanks guys!

Ok, then I have WarVoid and Shadowstrike as testers, Stefan and Prometeus as "correctors"

VietMinh, you are welcome as a tester, but IŽll inform you that currently you canŽt be a hoplite, because only the Romans are playable now, events for other civs arenŽt finished now...If this is ok for you, IŽll send it to you, too.

Fiera, donŽt worry

I have also received some mails about playtesing, so there are enough testers (for now ). IŽll send the scn within the next five hours. Thanks again!

Thanks, George SubWars comes next year...

Ok, I just sent the scenario to all of you (also to you VietMinh, hope you like playing as Romans Edit: just read your last post ).
I also included some info in the mail, because the English ReadMe textfile insŽt finished now.

The scenario uses multiple events (first time for me), I hope they work well. The events are changed when a special historic period is finished (not in the same turn intervalls).

So, perhaps someone has an idea for events later in the game? I mean, the last of the four Roman eventsfiles has currently some free eventsspace, because IŽm unsure what events I should include then. This last file is used after 27BC to the end (115AD), so if you suggest some historic events, they should fit in this time.

Its hard trying to push southward, even with the "improved" legions. On the other hand Bernd, a strategy that's worked for me is to leave a legion fortified on a hill next to an Independant city. The Samnites smash their forces against it and I get a whole lot of Legions for free... I don't know if you really want that to happen though...

Yes, Shadowstrike, both is ok.

I made the cities in Southern Italy stronger to protect them from a too early conquest. You need a lot of units for to capture them.

And also the support with free legions is right, its only a help to conquer Italy, later you are on your own.
Should I make the Samnites a little bit stronger? But then an advance southwards would be even harder?

Even though the advance downward in Italy is very, very tough it is by all means a task that can be acomplished. Sure casualties are high but those Samnites lose even more.

But Bernd, don't make it any harder than it already is. It would frustrate the not so experienced player I believe.

OK, I just started again.... Its 318 BC and I already have everything down to Tarent.... The going isn't too hard is you fortify a vertran legion next to a city on a hills square and gather 12-15 legions and make an all out attack.... Only about 5 will survive, but that's the way I did it.... Is that intended?

Bernd, don't make it any harder then it is... I doubt that anyone could make it down the Italian peninsula at a historical pace then. Make the Greek Cities in Italy harder, they were very easy to capture (1 legion).

A little nitpicking on the spelling:

- Using BC instead of Before Christ on the events will probably let you save some space.
- On the event with Spartan hoplites, it should be spelt hoplites as opposed to hoplits.

Other then that, the scenario is excellent. The terrain is a bit dark, but playable. The graphics are excellent. Now, back to the game...

Shadowstrike, your strategy is right

ItŽs ok when the Romans have high casualties, not only for the gameplay, but also for the historical accuracy, because many wars were longtime conflicts over several years (e.g. Samnite wars or 1./2.Punic war) that cost Rome a lot. On the other hand the Romans had enough manpower to balance out these losses.

Thanks for the spellchecking, IŽm afraid youŽll find more errors like this. Spelling errors will be corrected later, in one turn (to avoid daily changes on the game files ), IŽll at first correct technical errors.

OK.... I'm getting a lot of civil disorder now.... I should head for the next government.... The Civiliopedia has a little problem with some of the governments, the lines won't end, and the window is so wide it falls off the screen.

The Macedonians take over Persia pretty fast, but only after 323 BC... I don't know if you can change that though.

Just sent a minor update to all of you, the pedia thing should be fixed now, as well as some other small bugs in the first three eventsfiles.

Please donŽt use the fourth eventsfile, IŽll send a reworked version of it tomorrow (but I hope nobody is so far in the game, or?)

Yes, some key cities are very hard to capture. This is the point to realise that you need siege engines...

Attack these cities when you better armed, then they should fall, it would be too easy when all cities can be captured only with legions.

BTW are you over 272BC now? If so, did the events change work? And was the Pyrrhos event a threat or too easy to repulse? ItŽs always difficult to say when you are the designer and know all events and when they occur.

The events change worked... Pyrrhus was way too easy.... I ambushed the Siege engines and destroyed it quickly..... The War Elephants dashed themselves against my city walls... Disorder is a big problem... I've had to starve several cities down just to keep them happy.... You might want to give a happiness tech earlier...

Got spare money?

Ok, last reply for today

Shadowstrike, I know happiness is a problem, but it seems realistic to me when you have to starve them a bit or face unhappiness (that could be social conflicts)
On the other hand you are right, it shouldnŽt be sooo a serious problem. I have to think about changes in this field. Currently I only can give the advice to research the happiness wonders...

Prometeus, I found a painted pic about RomeŽs early enemies were some warriors (I think Samnites) had such helmets...

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Hi Bebro, I've played so far to 270 B.C. with your scenario. Some things to note would start with the Greeks in Southern Italy. I was basically unmolested by these two cities when I fortified a Legion at 59,77. I believe a stronger attacker unit for the Greeks would change their strategy. I basically took all of Italy except for those two greek cities. I built two cities at 59,73 and 54,68 and built up temples and three Velites in each Roman city. I haven't experienced any city disorder as my cities are ize 5 and 4. I discovered Late Republic and things are going smoothly. As stated before the Before Christ to B.C will save space.... When Alexander died I checked how the gameplay was going... The Macedonians only took out Asia Minor, maybe some more units by events could help them out. I also was curious to the lack of roads in the scenario. No Royal Highway in Persia or any in the east which I think there was plenty of. The Pyrrhos "is that right spelling?" event was easy to crush maybe more units spread out abit more. They all were in one place. Some minor "small" errors in spelling was all I saw so far in the events. One thing, it looks really good. More feedback to ya when start playtesting tomorrow...later....
