Grass crown

[Four+1.Davio]

Hiya all,

So i've got about 30 hours on this, managed to get an absolute beast with 93 sword and 90 shield which cruised through the phalanx (didnt manage to overwhelm the guys after, but dam you have to kill like 5 in 20 turns or something mad?)

Anyways, I have not yet managed to be admitted into the senate so thats my next goal! I was wondering if anyone had a guide for getting the grass crown, as this is the only accolade I am yet to earn! also any general stats needed to be admitted to the senate would be swell.

Ta all,
Davio :)

I cannot give you reliable numbers, but you need to have relatively high INT and CHA and at least one Civic Crown (or the Grass Crown) to become a Roman senator.

This is how you can earn the Grass Crown:

In the final battle you need to break through the phalanx twice in a row and kill four phalangites each time. This will create a gap in the Macedonian formation. As a centurion with very high INT you can order your men to advance through the gap. Then there will be one last (very dangerous) fight against several Thracian warriors led by a chieftain. Kill them all in less than 60 rounds and the Grass Crown will be yours.

You will probably need to try this several times before you succeed, even with very powerful characters. Getting the Grass Crown is pretty much the most difficult (and amazing) thing you can do in this game.

Do you have the achivment for getting 10,000 points in a single round? That one is driving me insane.

Thanks flori, I had thought it might be something along those lines, that is going to be incredibly tough but ill give it a go! most points ive gotten so far is 7k, I figured the 10k would come on the play through I managed the get to senator :)

The Devs might have changed the requirements to get the grass crown.

Today I broke through the Phalanx twice. In one of the following fights one Phalangite survived by the skin of his teeth. Even through my Intelligence of 88 was easily enough to pass the hard check of 85, the option to rush into the gap was not shown. So It's definitively required to defeat all Phalangites in both battles.

As far as I know, this is not a change to previous versions of the game.

If you fail to kill any of the phalangites in time, there will be no gap in the Macedonian formation, and thus no chance to earn the Grass Crown.

Thanks for the clarification. It was a simple misunderstanding on my part then.
