Rome II

He appears very relaxed there.

He appears very relaxed there.

  I know what you mean.  It's kind of like they found him in the tumble-dry with extra lint cycle and had to pull him back out of his own pockets.

  But, you know he has been there for over 1600 years as a rather minimalist reminder that Late Antiquity is not really all that remote, though all those angels and what-not seem kind of like something out of a nightmare in a 90s B movie set in a decaying mesoAmerican upscale house of ill-repute that has seen better times.

[Gusington]

Have there really been better times for Mesoamerican houses of ill repute than right now?

[MengJiao]

Have there really been better times for Mesoamerican houses of ill repute than right now?

  Exactly.  That's why I specified a sort of Tom Clancy-era-esque, 90s, B-movie, who-hired-that-art-director sort of decaying upscale ambiance.

No better time I can think of. Unless when the dollar was worth more. Or when Ill Repute was more fun. Everybody's got it now and that takes the specialness of it away. :'(

[Gusington]

Hahaha you speak the truth.

[Sir Slash]

And Patch 12 is live now. The saga continues. :-X

[Gusington]

Live in beta or for reelz? I feel a Carthaginian campaign coming on soon.

Finalized patch 12 I suspect...12 has been in beta for weeks now and most mods have already been upgraded for it.

By the way Gus...maybe check out the "Constantine" mod. You can play some is the eastern heathens like the Sassanids...

[Martok]

Well I just fired up the game, and it looks like patch 12 is good to go.  :) 

[Gusington]

Constantine mod you say...must be new...

[PanzersEast]

I've just started to get into this and have started a Sparta campaign which is a departure from my standard Rome faction game..... I will restart with the new patch as I was not very far into my current campaign.

Thanks Mike...I will check it out. Checked my Steam account for a second and there was something queued for Rome, amgst 4-5 other things. TW still holds the same magic for me after all the Rome II drama and everything...getting psyched to jump in again :)
