Europa Barbarorum Romani Campaign #2: 190BC - Starting Out Slow

[BorisLikesBeer13]

how do you have so much coins?

[aceblazer25]

@BorisLikesBeer13, when you build up Spain's mines, you get a lot of stuff.

[TheGator2000]

can you make some getai campaign/battle videos?

[aceblazer25]

@TheGator2000, sorry I only have time for this campaign.

[CladiusAugustus]

big thing i believe that Marius did was draft troops from non roman citizenry

[comedycckm]

Hi ace, ive seen ur commentary with PoM and decided to check u out great vids:P

[aceblazer25]

@comedycckm, thx! :)

[TheRomanRuler]

"I really missed toggle_fow in ETW, NTW and STW, always fun to check what's going on in the world :P

Knubbgas"

Yes, but only if you have selected: "show ai movements: off"

[mickiemc100]

hold on :L have I missed something during one and 2 :P as in about 20 provinces :L

[Bismark129]

great vid

[aceblazer25]

@Knubbgas, indeed it's really handy.

[TheGuderianRules]

Man....excellent video :D

I played EB long ago....how the names of cities are different....I mean on english :)

[aceblazer25]

@TheGuderianRules, thx for watching!

[TheGuderianRules]

@aceblazer25

Np.....Arche Seleukia is awsome to, don´t you think

[aceblazer25]

@TheGuderianRules, they're an awesome faction. Their starting faction isn't awesome :P

[TheGuderianRules]

@aceblazer25

yep...but when they become strong....they destroy everything xDD

[Djoenes]

Love ur vids! Like a campaigning version of PoM :) (with at least equally skilled commentators in my opinion)

Got a question though: Do you need the original RTW installed be4 you download this?

[InferiorBaton]

@Djoenes Yes. I believe you can either install it to the Rome Total War, or Alexander edition.

[Djoenes]

@InferiorBaton

Okay, thanks m8 :)

[aceblazer25]

@Djoenes, thx for the compliment!

[debuxman]

Do you get many CTD's at this point? And do you have any personal tips to avoid them (aside of not using autosave and waiting for the music to end on the "end battle" screen)?

Oh yeah, forgot to add, nice video BTW. Are you recording from old save games you have or is this actual, real-time progress?

[aceblazer25]

@debuxman. I do get lots of CTD's past 200 BC. The main culprit is a civil revolt, so you gotta know how to prevent those. I might make a video about that. It's also good to have 2 savegames so you always have a save point 2 turns back.

[aceblazer25]

oh yea...these are all old save games. Mostly to combat CTD problems. It took me two years of playing on and off to finally finish this completely.

[GaiusJuliusCeasar97]

nice vid

you seem to be as interested in history as i am. With that in mind what is the best mod for realistic units and stuff

[debuxman]

@GaiusJuliusCeasar97 quite a few, EB, RTR, RS to name a few. It's hard to say which is the best mod for "realistic units", as there is no manual saying which specific kinds of armies each nation had :P

[aceblazer25]

@GaiusJuliusCeasar97, i'd say EB is the most historically detailed.

[Riuk881]

Find this boring?! Never! I love the Romans and its quite interesting.

[aceblazer25]

@Riuk881, glad you enjoyed it!

[SynysterGates30]

I'm a new subscriber. So...hi <3

[aceblazer25]

@SynysterGates30, hellooooo :)

[xSunOfTroyx]

I enjoy this campaign much more than a conventional campaign series.

[aceblazer25]

@xSunOfTroyx, well thx for watching!

[samttolainen]

could you be awesome and make a video showing how to install this mod. I have tried to install this and failed many times

[aceblazer25]

@samttolainen, well have u checked out the install guide that has all the pictures on it? Re-installing EB would be a real hassle for me.

[NLskilzzzz]

When I took gual I allied myself Aedui and recruited 3 units of mercenary cavalary near the Aedui land, thats what Julius Caeser did.

[aceblazer25]

@NLskilzzzz, the invasion of Gaul will be like a hell storm.

[RoyalPikeman]

Awesome Mod man!

[aceblazer25]

@RoyalPikeman, thx for watching!

[PyrrusOfEpirusTW]

Mod looks cool might give it ago.

[aceblazer25]

@PyrrusOfEpirusTW, thx for watching.

[wintersnoob]

I still prefer Total Realism.

[aceblazer25]

@wintersnoob, each to his own. I personally found that the campaign plodded on with little reward towards the end. In EB you get multiple reforms you can aim for for almost every faction.

[wintersnoob]

@aceblazer25 Oh thanks for the info, maybe I'll check it out later ;)

[Nationalist83833]

3:36 ,why is it that at the bottom right corner, the blue bar which measures an armies walking points in campaign, is all the way to the top, excedding the limit?

[LieutenantFuzz]

Pretty impressive, Ace. Seriously. The borders of your map are extremely neat - which is awesome. :)

One of the many awesome things about EB is the reforms they implemented. There's now a reason to playing with "barbarian" factions, and not just Rome, when playing EB, as they get even more awesome when their own reforms hit.

Anyway, again, impressive. Looking forward to the next update. :D

Anyway

[aceblazer25]

@LieutenantFuzz, yea i like neat and defensive borders.  Thanks for watching!
