Who do you play as?

[bad at video games]

What character are you? Are you the faction leader? An invisible omnipotent spirit flying around telling generals what to do? Youd assume that your the faction leader right? But a Hellenic character can be promoted to a hetairos, and the description for that is "It is not trifling thing to be a freind to the King." So you can't be the faction leader, so who are you?

I'm nothing more than a little a$$-kicking "Roman pleb".

a spirit in the sky, just so i can play norman greenbaums hit on loop. typically i considere myself to be the factions war god though, inspiring my minions to be the best warriors they can be.

considering most of these factions didn't cut it in reall life (at least not untill the roman empire collapsed) i would say divine intervention was a must.

I've always considered myself to be the big metal hand in the sky.

I dont think there is such a thing as a non-Roman pleb. Pretty sure plebs were a Roman thing, and a Roman thing only.

I'm pretty much playing Rome most of the time.

I'm currently playing a mod called The Rise of Macedon which is about the reign of Philip II, so naturally I'm playing as him. In fact just recently I did a purge of all Other House members because one of them tried to assassinate Alexander, and my paranoia wouldn't let me take any chances.

The Icenii are my favorite. I like how they're pretty isolated from everyone else, it gives you a lot of freedom and lets you take britannia at your own pace. I also enjoy their units but I have yet to meet a TW player who doesn't like running Barbarian armies, just too much fun.

IKR I do that every game. Unfortunately, they still try to assasinate your characters.

That wasnt really the point of the discussion. I meant who do you plas as as in your character. Are you a giant metal hand in the sky? (Warcraft 3) An invisible god flying around telling people what to do? Or the faction leader? But the last one don't make sense becuase of reasons I stated above.

Nah you could still be a king or atleast the ruler of the faction. When you promoted that hellenic character he had officially became your friend. Before that he was perhaps a close acquaintance or a cousin who you were whispering in his ear to do things etc. Now if your party leader becomes friend of the king... maybe he had split personality and grew to trust himself lol.

Yeah it's not like I think about it much but as far as I'm concerned in Total War games I'm the god of get your crap together. Get your crap together, Macedon! Get your crap together, Syracuse! Get your crap together, obscure Spanish tribe we have sparse archeological data about! Etc.

And in Rome II I have to be that for Rome, as well, seeing as how they so rarely get their crap together without me!

I'm imagining a creepy ass guy in a crown teleporting around whispering in people's ears how and what to do.

I imagine I'm some hivemind that just whispers to all the generals and soldiers on what the general thing to do is.
'Pssst, they raided our olives, kill them, kill em now!'
