Imperium! - CARPE ROMA

[Grammatic]

Oh for our Houses forces, can we like pick colors and names to go with the Legion(s)? Like, the soldiers have standard red in their uniforms, but if say my house had the color blue in its heraldry, could our soldiers be a red and blue mix in regards to uniform? 


And can we come up with a name, or choose to use one from actual history...(I want to use Ferrata...)

Uniforms, standards, and insignia color is all up to you. As the Senate, Im designating tunic, cape, and shield to be red. Centurion and officer feathers to be purple. 

And can we come up with a name, or choose to use one from actual history...(I want to use Ferrata...)

Idc. Whatever you like more

 

[Shepard]

So here's what I need to do:


-Make the Hosted Project


-Define the map (although the RTW II map seems to be fine for now)


-Establish a building tech tree


-Establish a list of military units (although custom-designed units will be okay)


-Establish a criteria for Combat Moderations


-Establish a criteria for Economic Moderations

 

[Shepard]

I'll get on the HP. Go ahead and post your CS here, tag me in it. I'll put it in the first Interest Check post and then like your reply to let you know I did it.


The HP will be up Friday.

I'm putting the final touches on the CS. 


Would you rather have a building tech tree modeled off of Rome II, Rome I, or no tree at all?

House Name: House Auxentius


House Leader: Titus Munius Auxentius-M, Age 39


House Family: Two children, twins, one boy and one girl, both seventeen years of age. Wife died during childbirth. All other family relations either dead in conflict, natural causes, or Titus just killed them himself. That is only taking direct relations into account. There are still cousins and other connections, but the main family is just Titus and his children.


Starting Location: Arminum


Starting Army: Due to their proximity to the border of savage territories, House Auxentius has maintained a standing army at most times of the year, to help deal with any potential raids. These forces wear the traditional red designated by the Senate in all forms required, but wear blue and yellow uniforms underneath, the colors of House Auxentius. The army is made up of:


1. Six Maniples of Hastati, Three Maniples of Principe, Three Maniples of Triarii.


2. Four Maniples of Velites.


3. Four Maniples of Equites.


4. One Maniple of Archers drawn from the hunting people scattered around the land near Arminum.(Socci)


Starting Navy: House Auxentius has a pitifully small navy, despite being somewhat near the coast. Titus sees very little need of ships, and as such rents and pays for any he needs at the time. Still, House Auxentius maintains a small fleet made up of:


1. Four Bireme


WIP?

Can I reserve a spot? Tis hard trying to decide if I want to fight the Phoenician mutts or the northern mongrols.

Mhm. Just make a placehold post and tell me what region (assuming it hasnt been reserved yet). I will expect a CS in a timely manner though. I dont want to screw over someone eles

 

[Grammatic]

I wasn't entirely sure what to put for the population part. Population of Arminum? Or population of those who serve my House? Everything else is fine.

@Shepard

Everyone in your region so the city + farming estates + geographically and historically insignificant towns. Idc how in depth you go. I just need a way of knowing your appropriate military size.

Population: The City of Arminum itself has a standing population of around 2-3 Million(depending on the time period, will revise if needed) In the nearby towns and villages tied directly to the city, another thirty thousand residents can be added to the tallies. A final wider region expansion on numbers draws in farmers and the few remaining tribes in the territory, adding a final twenty thousand to the numbers.


In all, Arminum has a population of around 3 Million, roughly.

@Shepard

Thats right...i didnt really give a perspective on it...let me do some research since 3 million would make 1% of the world population in one region.

Ya thank you. Im wanting to go much smaller.

 

[Grammatic]

Not saying it will stay that high, but it is Rome. They tensed to have a much higher population than the rest of the world. And it was fairly near Roma, so it could Possibly be that large.


Otherwise I am lowering it to around 300,500.

Thank you for your CS. I'm working on the CS rn

HP is up

Updates:


-No building tech tree. Cities will go through basic management as deemed by the player of the town. We will follow Shepard's Rule in that anything goes so long as it's logical and fair 


-The only military unit tree will contain units that are currently in play. After a TBD number of turns, custom units will be allowed as "Roman" forces. Until then, custom units will considered socii.
