Rise of Rome (4 player) - ONE SPOT OPEN

Matrix · 24-11-2003, 13:53

Who'd like to play a PBEM on Rise of Rome?

Choices are:

Rome, Carthago, Macedon (=Greece), Persia.

I prefer not to play as Persia as I've already done that once as beta tester. But I can tell from that game that this Conquest is extremely fun!

I don't have Conquests myself, but might get it on december 6th (Sinterklaas). If not, I'll buy it the day after.

The beta version still works, but I reckon it might not work well with a complete version.

So we'd better wait.

I'll take that in consideration. I don't know exactly how much time I'll have on hand. BTW, from what I've seen (Anarres' screenshots) there's a corruption bug in that scenario. I don't know exactly what, but maybe it'd be a good idea to wait for a patch.

I will play, and I don't mind being someone shit (Carthage?). I know Rome is massively favoured in this scenario, and I imagine Macedon is also quite strong.

It was my impression that Rome and Persia were most powerful, but not Macedon. Persia has an untouchable backland (because of no 'X-wrapping') but Macedon is caught between Persia and Rome. Rome starts very small though; that's their biggest disadvantage.

Edit: waiting for the first patch might be a good idea, Shabbaman!

I'll be up for it. If my computer is fixed in time. I do agree however that it may be wise to wait for the first patch. What's an expansion without the obligatory patch 1 month after to fix the bugs. :-p

Anyway, I would say that Carthage and Rome are probably the two most powerful, although Carthage is somewhat squashed in the corner. Anyway, I will take Carthage if all possible.

Cool!

(I thought Carthage sucked.

Check out Benderino's post on CFF in Conquests section. It's rather intresting as to what could be to come.

Oh. And my computer is now fixed.

PBEM or Internet MP?
OR perhaps both? as I reckon a few people would want to play against eachother here @CDZ

EDIT: note to self - learn to read

Well as it says 'PBEM' I'm guessing a 'PBEM'.

If it turns to multiplayer then unfortunatly I can't play.

PBEM. Turns take far too long in this scenario for turn based, but that makes it perfect for PBEM.
