Future scenario ideas

[Searry]

I hope the Macedonian wars will be represented. Fighting on two fronts is always interesting. Also late Roman campaigns against huge odds would be really really interesting.

Well, Rome wasn´t built at one day. By the way there is a guy who plays CIV since years... And he has a very big community of followers. It is just a dream. And I don´t know, if it possible to program it. But as a sandbox with out the correct historical timeline it would just be great! A grand campaign like you successed would be perfect, for sure!!! Any way I love this game already and I will play it for months...

To the end of what, the fall of the western empire? Holy god, that would be like the longest turn scenario of any turn based game EVER. Even at one month turns it would have to be at least several hundred turns long.

However, a grand campaign that was broken up into early/mid/late timelines might work. Have say a GC scenario that covers the time from the birth of Rome to the unification of Italy, another that covers the expansion period and the war with Carthage, and finally one that covers the imperial period to the barbarian invasions during the 3rd century. I don't see how it would work any other way. A 700+ year long grand campaign would take months to finish, if it didn't break down immediately due to conflicting scripts or random bugs.

Aurelian uniting the divided Empire is a personal favorite of mine (which apparently is under works), Julians campaign in Parthia (would be nice if it had some more political aspects dealing with pagans vs Christianity) also something involving Stilicho and Alaric would be fairly interesting

Some smaller scale scenarios are also fun and challenging as the Spartacus one so pointedly illustrates. I'd love to see a few good ones. Some good old fashioned Romans vs Barbarians would be neat as well.

Roman history has so much to offer that the AJE team can keep cranking out DLC's for ages. As long as they keep the excellent standard set with the game I'll keep buying 'em!

I would love to find a [color="#DAA520"]"Grand Campaign"[/color], starting at the founding of Rome to the very end. I know this would be a nearly endless amout of turns, but how cares! [color="#00FFFF"]I just want to take my legions with me and all my good and bad decisions. Which is not possible, if it is splitted in different scenarios.[/color]

Funny you should mention that. The design team that did the great board game Imperium Romanum 2 said that concerning a 'grand campaign', the best they could say about it is that they tried. lol

BTW, on a related note. I got bored quickly with the grand campaign in Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasions. When playing as Rome, once you beat off the barbarian migrations, the game played out just like the first game. That is, capture a certain number of provinces by game end. Lame.

Speaking of the Spartacus Scenario, will Matrix be making this available on their site?

May be later, for the moment it's only on AGEOD

I don't think that Matrix has posted any of the Beta Patches either. Is that by design?

I would like a random scenario generator. The map is set, but leaders, factions, starting locations and date could be dialled up.

[Cato]

During that timeframe (312 BCE-236 BCE):
* 1st Punic War 264 BCE-241 BCE --> fight against Hiero of Syracuse (Greek, from Sicily) and the Carthaginians 24*12 = 480 turns. This is probably too much, so it should be divided at least in two

No a 480 turn campaign is not too much. I like the concept of having both longer campaigns and shorter battle scenarios to choose from. Currently the shortest scenario is 25 turns while the current GC is 120 turns long. PoN is 1680 turns or something - it does not make sense to say 480 turns is too long for an AGEOD game.

[bob.]

I agree with Cato, I would love a campaign with this length.

[PhilThib]

In fact the First Punic War shall come in the form of 2 scenarios: a complete 24-years campaign, and another "shorter" one starting in 256 BC with the landing of Regulus in Africa (15 years)

[Narwhal]

RoP main campaign is 176 turns long. 480 will be huge already, but why not.

I just hope there is a way to have a decisive victory earlier without the NM sudden death, just like in ROP, WiA and others.

Thats a very good idea. Then you can choose between a big and a hugue campaign.

Another one IMHO would be to add any of the Diadochi campaigns in the expansion, too.

Remember that this is not Barbarossa with 3400000 Germans against 4000000 or more soviets at the division level.

The operations will be Sicily, the Islands (Sardinia + Corsica) North Africa and Italy if you are doing raids or Invasion for the Carthaginians. The scenario will have a number of Consular Armies and ennemies.

Some turns will not last more than a few seconds...

24 years will end very rapidly.

Almost afraid to ask, but when can we expect to see Trajan's Dacian Campaigns and the Crisis of the Third Century ( Aurelian, Zenobia, Tetricus) DLC? I know they are in development. Definitely looking forward to playing those.
