Rome II

[undercovergeek]

Nabustia, the Armenian General addresses his troops



The spearmen are ready............



The axemen are ready (seems theyve opted for the GW Night Goblin look)



Scouts spy the Parthian enemy in the distance



Armenian cataphracts cut down the enemy general



Our axemen meet the snazzily dressed Parthian spearmen on the flank



On the other flank our spearmen meet the Parthian spearwall



The spears and axes give pursuit of the routing army

Snazzy indeed!

[GDS_Starfury]

it my not be Rome but Im loving taking HMS Warrior into single combat against fleets of enemy ships.

There's a paid DLC for that.

It sounds like most of y'all are playing vanilla rather than one of the big overhaul mods like Radious or DEI.  Has vanilla gotten that good? 

I haven't touched Rome II in months--mostly liked it a lot, but definitely did not like the breakneck pace of the combat, with even large engagements wrapped up in a tidy 10-15 minutes, and couldn't play without DEI installed --

I'm fine with vanilla. I don't want updates to break my game.

[Gusington]

When I go back to Rome II I will be playing vanilla.

The naval combat in Fall of the Samurai is great fun...have had a blast with the ironclads.

And even the HMS Warrior can be sunk if she's hit often enough. And once she's gone I don't think you can get the Brits to send-out another one. Just saying.

[Gusington]

It's prohibitively expensive, like 10,000 koku.

[Sir Slash]

That's a lot of Koku. We are talking money, right? ;D

[Nefaro]

That's a lot of Koku. We are talking money, right? ;D

If by money you mean "coins representing a specific amount of rice", then yes.

[jomni]

Koku is the amount of rice that feed a man for a year.

[Nefaro]

Koku is the amount of rice that feed a man for a year.

Beat ya to it!  Neener Neener!  :P

Although that's the loose interpretation isn't it?  They had a specific measurement for just how much that is, I'm sure.

Im not dumb with her.   I train a general and a foreign agent to be aboard.  with the right maneuvering Ive taken out 10 ship stacks..  8)
