NitroJay's Late Start Saved Games

[mitsho]

nothing really, they had a panthoen they stole from the greeks, with the empeoer added in as a kinda demi-god. i think so at least

No, the religion was henotheistic tolerant. Meaning that they believed in every God "invented" and every citizen chose his favourite (=Henotheism). The Romans also believed in a "protection spirit" that existed for everyone, the so called Genius. The Emperor logically also had such a Genius and there was a single condition to every Roman inhabitant/citizen made. Namely to swear on to this Genius and make a sacrifice for him (to protect the emperor).

The latter was not acceptable for the Jews and Christians...

well, there you go, sorry to muddle the waters

 

[mitsho]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to nitpick as much as possible, I just annoys me everytime as it just paints a wrong picture of the Romans, their religion and the reasons they chased the Christians. It was just a total stupidity of a very minor scale in the end, you know.

Which begs the question... what religions will be in what cities? How does one represent the state religion of the Romans in the second century. Although clearly some cities had Christians (Tyre - well, Antioch, just north of it, more precisely) in large numbers in them and some had Jews (Alexandria, for instance), how do we account for the state religion? Or am I just drunk?

 

[Edungeon]

oh...


you are just drunk XD


If you put religion in any Roman city, it will convert in the first turn...

so, put Christianims the SR :\

...Not if you, the leader of Rome, don't tell it to

 

[Edungeon]

Well, i thought that this was going to be a scenario, and you could play others civs, not just Rome... But now I realize that i was wrong...

 

[TrailblazingScot]

The Roman empire never stretched into Iran, did it?

Maybe into portions of Northern Iran, but not as far as Talkie Toaster has done which is all the way to the North-West Passage.

Talkie, the Romans shouldn't have cities beyond Mesopotamia and Armenia.

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

That's the map I was basing it on. I thought Mesopotamia was my most Eastern city?

EDIT: argh, foolish me! I didn't tell you, I've removed most of the cities since I last posted a map, I'll get one up soon.

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

Here it is:

 

[Edungeon]

What about a new city in Thrace/Turkey?

Why? IRL Rome was overgrown...

BTW: Rome shouldn't be bigger than 9? And bigger than Delhi?

 

[sdLeo]

I don't understand why Mediolanum and Lugdunum are missing, they were very important. At least Lugdunum should be added in IMO. Same thing for Tyre or Byblos.

Oh, and Jerusalem is was razed in 70 AD and rebuilt in 130ish as Aelia Capitolina...

Other than that, very nice.

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I took away cities because the maintenance costs were beyond sanity

I'm talking approaching -1000 here

I replaced many cities with towns.

If I don't have Jerusalem, where is the Christian/Jewish holy city?

 

[Edungeon]

Rome in this time didn't had at least 2 million pop?


EDIT: Take out that other city in England... that will overpower the England spaw, because they will not need to use any of the starting settlers...

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

Rome's game pop is 2712000

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I need help.

First, I need locations and names for all the cities (tribes) in Germania

Second, I need ideas on troop placement.

 

[Edungeon]

Don't make cities in Germania, just put a LOT²²²² of Axeman

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I thought cities would be a good way to represent the tribes.

 

[Edungeon]

All thouse cities will spawn to Germany and they will start with a lot of spare Settlers... =p
