Western Roman Invasion : "Attila the Douche" (End)
« on: August 28, 2011, 03:04:38 pm »

Before we start, let us give Megaman a standing ovation. I see you, unwashed viewer, not giving this worthy soul the respect he deserves! Let us not fail his expectations, and avenge them corrupted, backstabbing Romans from the Western Empire. It is a shame that he has abandoned the LP of WRE, but he will raise hell as them Spaniards for sure!
Now let's roshambo all those sneaky, merciless manipulators that have forced me into playing Barbarian Invasion.

Done and Done.

Lastly, let me point out that i only once played BI, as Franks. My knowledge of WRE units comes from the OTHER side of the barrier, and also a few custom battles. No campaign as WRE played... until now! I do know a bit of history, and did watch Megaman's run.

P.S. Don't worry about Morrowind.
Now.. Ahoy!

Is there anywhere that is revolting and generating negative income?!

What could possibly go wrong?

Spoiler: Harsh Budget Cuts (click to show/hide)

And so ends the first update  :D

I haven't covered it, even though i should have : We are going to destroy the market and public baths in Carthage to reduce the population growth. It's only temporary. The town WILL rebel sooner or later. With the Berbers on their way to break our balls, we can not afford it, so i shall delay the inevitable as long as i can.

Any questions you may have ; I shall answer.
Any suggestions of yours : I will at least read.
Any pies you bake i shall eat.

Regards

I hope you appreciate the cruel irony of running the WRE like a horde.

I hope you appreciate the cruel irony of running the WRE like a horde.

It's more of a scorched earth policy, like the Soviets did during WW2. If we can not hold the ground, we shall make it as unpleasant as possible for everyone that may decide to take it. Especially for the Illyrian provinces of Salona and Aquin..bla.. Hordes will go through there. If i held the useless, rebellious cities, i would lose much more than is to gain.

Besides, for WRE some provinces WILL rebel no matter what you do. There is no way of keeping them all. So chosing which ones will "go" is the best answer that i had to that.
With all the berserking provinces gone, i have something that can be called "Stability".

Also : Is that an issue? Am i crossing ze line 'ere?

I mean financing it by looting, a 'barbaric tactic' since it was the acceptance of the barbarians into the legions as they were that brought about the downfall of Rome.

Exactly, I failed to flesh out what I was saying, merely addressing that in the army.

"Hey, guys, the emperor of Rome is dead! And some backwater manager was named faction heir not two weeks ago!"

"PARTY TIME!"



...did anyone else get the subtle feeling that death might not have been accidental? An incredibly skilled manager is named heir to the throne, and the faction leader dies almost immediately after? Stworca, I think your AI might be developing sentience...  :o

I was expecting Stworca to send the terrible emperor on a suicide run.

This promises to be another interesting LP. Watching with excitement!

@Thexor: The AI is sentient, it just hates you. It's also retarded.

Are the "peasants" those elite units you recruited in the update? If so, why?

...That was sarcasm. They cost about nothing to maintain, but they still give a happiness bonus to cities and stop revolts.
