IOT: Ab Antiquo - Sign-Up/Pre-Game Thread

Start me in Dania (Denmark) just call me the Danish kingdom for now, will add more later tomorrow after school :)
 
I call Britania Inferior for the Welsh, but Im confused on how to play, where are the rules
Are you aware that
  • I've taken Caledonia
  • civplayah has taken Britannia Superior
  • from the Caledonian point of view everything south of the border qualifies as 'Inferior' so that when invading the south I might just not notice the difference between yours and his?
 
Is this related to a Civ game

Actually, no. It's kind of like an NES, but not really.

It is an empire-building game that spawned off of the Altered Maps threads in the Off Topic forums. Then Lil' Post Count (another user) started a thread where you could play as an empire and claim places in the world (it was called OT Poster Empires). And the rules were developed, and Imperium Offtopicum was born.
 
It's not any other game, it's just Imperium off-Topicum.
 
Take it to PMs or go to a moderator if you've been insulted, but as you yourself have said, stop posting if you have nothing game-related to say.
 
There is no Byzantium in this game…
 
yeah im confused as to one thing... why are people so against me playing Byzantium? there is literally no harm. its my bloody choice. no one else's.

This:

Not that its inherently a problem to re-resurrect an ancient empire, only to do the same one like five times.

see, if i started a project of the western Empire surviving in Spain, would you be pissed off and mad that i chose to play as spain for research purposes?

While I think it would be more likely to happen in Britain (The Anglo-Saxon-Jutes invasion force was the only one of its kind toward Britain), I think it would be extremely original and interesting.
 
Stop spamming the thread seriously I'm sure no one cares! Thanks!(Math, Dommy..)

Anyway;(my official thing.)

Name: The Kingdom of Denmark

Government type: Monarchy

Official Languages: Danish, German
 
Name: The Roman Republic
Government: Aristocratic Republic
Official Language: Latin
Co-consuls: Lucius Iunius Brutus & Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus
 
A) The proper name for Rome is Senatus Populusque Romanus (SPQR)
B) My official name is Safot Softim biQarthadast, the government is a republic, the language is Phonetician/Carthaginian, and the leader is Hamilicar
 
No it isn't. SPQR means "the Senate and people of Rome".
 
Res publica ("the public thing") is the state. Let's not get too complicated :)
 
The British isles have become too crowded, so if the GM wil allow it, as the game hasn't started yet, I'll claim Ionia. Res Takhisika, I may add.

My capital will obviously be Troy, btw.
 
Also, Domination3000 and Mathalamus are banned from this game due to their history. I'm sorry, but I am not taking any chances.
Please see my edit into the OP. Pre emptive bans are a bad idea.
 
I am still Middle Egypt.

Kingdom official name: The United States of Egypt (I am picking this name to be interesting.)

Type of government: Caste System. Technically speaking, unlike former systems, the Pharoah is the puppet of the aristocracy, run by the priests. The royal family lives more wealthy than any other kingdom but has no political power at all, and he can conduct diplomacy only as the priests tell him too. In the second caste are the merchants and such who control the money. The third caste is the soldier caste, who fight the wars. Fourth are the farmers. Fifth are the Outcasts (Ex Criminals and those who refuse to follow the faith.) Last are the slaves (Freed slaves become outcasts.)

The priests vote via direct democracy on all politico-religious matters. There are 100 priests.

Religion- Egyptian Mythology.

Legal System of Punishment- Eye for an eye

Wealth- Very Wealthy
