Post Your Empire

[Bad Santa]

I haven't got the game yet but i want to see your empires.

It would be nice to see if anyone has recreated the Roman Empire exactly

Because of badboy its not possible to recreate the roman empire. You can controll greece/italy/iberia/gual, but in my macedonia game I'm at the badboy cap with only about 60 years left and I havent taken out carthage/selecuids/egypt.

If going over the badboy cap just meant that everyone DoWed me I'd be fine and go conquering, but in this one the AI spams assinations on all your characters, and with the 4-5 nations left spamming it you get a LOT of assinations going off. Kind of frustrating to have to replace the governors of all your provinces every couple of minutes.

Plus getting your people assesinated, catching the assasin in the process does not give YOU the Cassus Belli but THEM if you so happen to touch the murderer.

I mean...C´mon

Sounds like something of a glitch to me. But surely, that can be modded?

The badboy limit and badboy decrease can be modded but even without doing this it is possible to recreate the Roman empire, I haven't done so myself as I prefer to start as one province minors:

You can make assassinations harder to perform, which will ofcourse also have effect on success of your own assassins. There's no other way of fixing it without editing exe, afaik.

How did you manage that?

I've seen the Aechean's have a 30k+ army. That'll do some damage.

You cannot create the historical Roman Empire unless you cut off Illyria & Macedonia from the barbarians by taking their frontier provinces. Otherwise they grow like a tumor all the way into the North Sea and you'll never be able to get their capital provinces of course without getting their Polish & German holdings.

What a disappointment..

We have enough threads with whinges about the game, let's not turn this one into another!

Here you can see the Seleucids are in the midst of a civil war (finally) and I'm hoping Egypt takes advantage of it.. I pay tribute to Pontus since for a while it looked the Seleucids were going to attack them and I wanted to get in on that war. Now I'm hoping for a Pontic civil war...

This is a huge problem for me and makes micromanagement a complete bore. Maybe they should make assassinations less likely to work and cost more.

Who's that in Pergamon?

Sure you can. Just conquer everything else they have except their home in the first war. Then take their home in the 2nd later war you get when they stop paying tribute. I just did this to Illyria and Tylis.

Works fine. Just because they blob out doesn't really make them any more powerful. Most colonies aren't even worth anything for the first 2 decades or so after settling it.

Heh, that's Pergamon in Pergamon.

 

[Garak]

Heh, that's Pergamon in Pergamon.

...Oh. Heh, I knew that... /shifty

Anyway, here's my Macedonia so far on my first run through the game:

And yes, that is Sparta in the extreme northeast corner of the map.
Also, the Carthaginian civil war you see at the edges of this picture is the same one pictured in two of the screen shots I posted in the Strange Screen Shots thread... from fifty years earlier.

One of my most interesting games... after attacking pontus (one territory gained) and then attacking Iberia (one territory gained) and then attacking colchis (2 territories gained) the Bosporan Kingdom war decced me and Pontus and the Seleucid's followed. I lost one territory to the bosporans and gained one from pontus... and boy was I lucky the Seleucids were happy with a white peace. Luckily their manpower was zero from their starting war with the Ptolemies (which ended in a white peace... even though the Ptolemies easily could have gotten better in their position at one point).

 

[ollobrains]

im just waiting for the expansion pack which will add another 100 years to the game ( u can almost expect it being paradox)

My current empire as macedon. I wiped out the greek minors early giving me about 28 total rep. It's been a long time on 5 speed getting the rep down again (I got Bithynia to pay tribute soon after) and generally massing gold/building infrastructure. I recently just started "playing" again and I have a total manpower of 120k (cultural conversions ftw) and took 2 provinces off Illyria and proceeded to make them pay tribute as well. Next thing I know... hmm I have a casus belli on Bithynia (border dispute) so I then took 2 rather nice provinces from them.

Not sure what I should do now though? anyone have any ideas? I guess the next 2 wars will be finishing off Bithynia... but I can't really attack Pontus (equal strength... but allied to the Seleucids) or try attacking the Seleucids when they are in a war with egypt (not only can this go terribly wrong when the Ptolemies are kicking their butt and accept a white peace anyway but they are also allied to Pontus and I defenitly can't take them both).

The state of the rest of the world btw:

LOL. My Armenia looks almost exactly the same. Only difference is I have colonized the province on the black sea coast (next to Pontus).

I have already started a thread with my Magna Graecian Empire, however I will post it here a second time, since this thread seems to get more attention.
