Rome II

[Sir Slash]

They only come-out after dark Gus. ;D

I also have never got a general with the night fighter ability...

You earn it. Every now and again, when you get to select a new ability that usually give +1 to cunning, authority, etc...it will say "night fighter.

I have one legion that gets a bonus in moral for night fighting with a general who is a night fighter. I use them to ambush enemy armies that I know Are I'm the way through the mountains.

Durn it, mikeck, now you've got me thinking about a Rome II aar from a (hopefully long surviving) general's pov.  ;D

That sounds like an awesome idea.

I will say that I wish there was a larger variety of bonuses...in the end, most of my generals end up looking the same. It still hurts to lose one when they are that experienced plus I kind of like keeping a general with the same legion the whole time...role-play

There is a mod that add a variety of bonuses so you can specify a type of general you want to make him.  I.e. a bureaucrat, infantry commander, cavalry commander, tactician etc.

I'm as happy as a pig in poop! The Radious mod has been updated on Steam to Patch 9.1 and is working just fine again. Damn, I was getting tired of playing Vanilla Athens. :D :D :D

I'm still chugging along in my vanilla rome game. When I'm done, I am going to try Athens next. I may do a mod. I'm honestly happy with all the main things of vanilla. The only thing I would want now that I can't have because of the need for a restart is a mod that increases the amount of armies I can have. I think that messes with the startpos,

Sparta next for me, I just can't resist. How are the night battles in Rome 2?

Its called "Traits, Talents and Toadies" and I have no idea if it is save game compatible.

You might want to take a look at the TWC forum for mod editing tools / help.  You can download the ESF which allows you to edit save files and make adjustments to games in progress.  I was thinking of using the esf to make my armies hold 40 units.

[mikeck]

Thx...I may download it but i usually just start a new game when it's obvious I am going to win. O. E I'm done with the Rome campaign. I think I want to play around with Command and flashpoint campaigns a little

Wait, what patch was this?  I couldn't patch notes anywhere for it.

[Gusington]

It adds some units to Epirus and a new model elephant.
