Fantasy Roman Faction: 3.0 Released!

[-Archmage-]

Ok, got some free time coming up, I'm going to work on this as well as my Elementals faction.

[-Archmage-]

I've been working for a couple hours on Romans, and I have got it almost PERFECTLY balanced, using my Spectators Map.

EDIT: Romans 2.1: COMING SOON!

EDIT-2:
You'd be surprised how long it took for Romans to win, they almost lost, but they survived, just barely, and then got revenge!

[jda]

So, kind of OT, is your Spectator's map up and running? Is there a download link?

TIA

[-Archmage-]

Yes, it is!
It's in its own topic in the Maps, Tilesets, and Scenarios Board.

EDIT: Romans 2.1 being released momentarily.
Patchers only for now, will upload the files sometime soon....

[-Archmage-]

Ok it's released, ENJOY!!!

Dude, first of all, what is new in this?  Cause last I remember it was Tech renamed v 2.0. 

Second, don't you know how to use the 'printscreen' function?  That picture is OK, but I like printscreens more.

Third:

Well, make sure it is balanced on all other maps, namely the ones released with Glest v 3.2.

Fourth: Please don't double post like that.  No offense, but the reason you would double post would be if your post is ridiculously long (say, 1500 characters, probably more), or if what you said is confusing or the second would-be post is of a completely new subject.  Both ways, you could still just do one post, especially when the posts have a small amount of characters.

Really Mark..............

And really, cut the renamed Tech crap.

My screen thingy doesn't work, because I haven't created a screens directory in "/usr/share/games/glest", I had that game of glest on my Linux computer.

....Why?
Spectator's map is how you get the real balance, not the balance on a specific map with a specific player location that may give and take advantages from other players, including Romans.

Fourth: Please don't double post like that.  No offense, but the reason you would double post would be if your post is ridiculously long (say, 1500 characters, probably more), or if what you said is confusing or the second would-be post is of a completely new subject.  Both ways, you could still just do one post, especially when the posts have a small amount of characters.

I generally try to edit my posts, but I wanted to make the release notice a new post, so people who had already viewed the topic would know that it was released.

Really what?  I just want to know what is new in this.  If you want to know what to change, feel free to ask, but don't kill me for asking what did get changed.  And if you are going to say the installer and patch, well, do you really need an installer for a faction?  And what is in the patch?  Your first post isn't very informative.

Uh, what do you mean?  Are you talking to yourself?  Your comment didn't even mention tech renamed.

Because from your picture of the map, you left out some common occurences.  Like narrow roads, lack of resources and other things that would affect the faction's strength.

Okay, I getcha.  But I just can't stand those one-liners.  And for the notice, you could just send everyone you can think of a PM, and edit your post.  That is what I would do.

Ok Mark, I know I posted a reply to this, I remember writing it.
It was pretty long.
But it's not here for some reason.............


I want to see more downloads of the 2.1 patcher before I start working on 2.2.
I ask that people please not click and then cancel and then click and then cancel.

BTW if you want the Romans 2.1 files just install the patch and copy the romans2 faction, I will post the files tomorrow night IF my laptop starts working again.

That is why I compose in a word document.  On my jumpdrive (I practically live off the poor thing), I have a blank document where I save my posts before I post them on the forums, and once I post them, I clear the document and save it.

Well, I would really like to know why I should download.  Here is what I would have to do to play the faction:

1. Convince parents to let me on the laptop to get on the internet.
2. Bargain with modman for some time.
3. Open up Glest Forums.
4. Review my favorite topics, and all ones in Mods, Maps, Tilesets and scenarios and General Discussion board. 
5. Download subject item.  (in this case a faction patch).  Takes a long time on my internet speed.
6. Put item on jumpdrive.
7. Take jumpdrive to my desktop (which has no internet access), and copy/cut files to glest folder.
8. Play game with faction.
So yeah, that and the fact I can't remember the last time I played a game of glest for pleasure.  The process in downloading things is just a real pain.

It's not files it's a patcher.
I recommend that you wait for a later version of this mod if you have to go to that much trouble.

[Mark]

So what is your patcher consisting of?  Does it not consist of files?

[kris9700]

cool

[John.d.h]

So what is your patcher consisting of?  Does it not consist of files?

Isn't that kinda like asking if it consists of 1s and 0s?  I'd like to see anything on a computer that doesn't consist of files.

I understand that, but what he said seemed like nitpicking, rather than addressing the issue at large.

[-Archmage-]

Ok, the patcher installs the updates I've made to the units.
When I come out with a more completed version I will make a full installer.

[-Archmage-]

Eliminator, please send me the blends for this.

[Scenariole]

I don't think Eliminator is on that much

[-Archmage-]

No he's been on quite a bit, he's just not responding........

[titi]

I think his parents may have stopped him a bit
He invested much too much time for glest the last months. I personally would have stopped him if it would be my son.
There must be some time for friends, school and other activities too!
But I know the problem from the time when I was young .... ( And I think I still have a problem with it sometimes  )

Uuh now its me who can't stop posting offtopic ...

[Fluffy203]

lmao yea  agree with titi , too much time in glest is not a good thing 

[-Archmage-]

Oh really, I do Glest all the time, and a socialize with people just fine, much better than most people my age.
Besides you learn really useful skills working on Glest.

Don't think I'm dumb outside of Glest, a lot of people don't understand how smart I am, sorry about that brag but it's true.

[Fluffy203]

i don't care about you on a personal level i was agreeing with titi , which had nothing to do with you it was about eliminator  , so don't flame , i could care less what you do with your life

[ElimiNator]

lol all the people talking about you but not to you, no It had nothing to do with my parents, We were moving, Yes to a different house.

OK so archmage you wanted the blends of the roman faction?

[Fluffy203]

lol yea my bad elimi , got a lit hostile , i don't like being flamed on forums
