Rome II

[LongBlade]

I sometimes sacrifice a good battle trait to get a anti-agent trait instead for my generals... helps a little.

Thanks. Normally I ignore those. Looks like I'd better pay attention!

I've also added a spy to a couple of armies. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I think it's supposed to.

That is a pretty impressive feat LB.  You own the central Mediterranean as well as the Adriatic.   O0

Pretty sure that adding a Spy to your army gives you a higher chance of detecting enemy agents near it, and especially ones attempting actions on it. 

However, I'm not sure if they also provide a penalty to those enemy agents' actions if they detect them.  I would think they do but *shrug*.

No matter.

I have finally shattered the Nervii, who were dogging me endlessly. I have befriended the Iceni, who are a reliable tribe.

These tribes are now weak. It will not be long before they are gone, and I will be able to focus on the endgame.

well for some reason with or without mods i cant get back into the sparta campaign, im not going to delete it in case its something stupid

Hey Geek, are you playing with the Radious mod? Because he just added another unit pack and it requires a sub mod to load old saves. The sub mod is linked on his Steam Workshop site or is at the TW Center. I got the same problem with older saves for Rome and the Seleucids. Bummer.

If you continue with Armenia post impressions!

I'll give that a try before starting the Armenian one then

hmmm hes not uploading it to steam and im not digging in the arse end of the software - the game wont load even without radious ticked because it spawned with that mod

not a problem - it has prompted me to purge all mods and try vanilla which is no bad thing

I saw you pop in and out of Rome II several times earlier today and wondered if you were having problems with it.

[undercovergeek]

[Gusington]

YAY!

Why do all you guys love to play Armenia? Do they have certain units you like? Seems to be very popular and originally, a highly requested playable faction

I liked it in one of the old Rome TW mods because they had lots of cavalry and infantry in heavy scale armor.  Cataphract style.

Plus.. I think they were Zoroastrians at the time ..?  So a bit unusual in the religious department too.

theyre difficult to use and mobile, both operationally and tactically.  whats not to like?
