ROMAN INVASION

[A BUSH WOOKIE]

Someone mod Rome into this game as a faction so we can whoop up on these barbarians during their ♥♥♥♥♥ civil war...preeaz And Tell the Chineese in the fall when three kindgoms drops that Rome is coming for them too!

[PrivateXTC]

The Lost Legion mod does just that. Ported soldiers from Rome 2. It's in the workshop.

[Me]

You should maybe study your history a little better - Rome is gone by this time, which is perhaps a decent clue as to why it was not included in the game. Of course, if you want fantasy there is always Warhammer

While the Eastern Roman Empire no longer controlled the city of Rome at this time, the Eastern Romans (Byzantines) certainly existed. They survived the fall of Constantinople, by the Ottoman Empire, some last holdouts were in the Morea (Sparta, a year long siege the Romans surprisingly won, but had no relief force cause everywhere else was conquered so they said ♥♥♥♥ it, joined the Venetians), Trebizond which fell, and the last holdouts was The Principality of Theodoro in the Crimea.... which isn't known to Western historians because they are lazy ♥♥♥♥♥ who don't know how to google and use Google Translate, preferring to just say Trebizond was last.

Some Byzantine islands didn't receive a Ottoman official (tax collector) till the 19th century. Some maintained independence by allying with Knights of Rhodes, others maintained independent walled cities , refusing interaction with the Venetians.

The last pretender to the throne of Rome is buried in Barbados. That's how long they lasted.

A Roman army from Scipio Africans to the siege of Constantinople could easily crush the ToB armies. I don't concur with the assessment many had in the 90s that a Roman Legionary would last very long in the medieval period, even in England, the plated knights impervious to strikes and arrows would of scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of the Romans having seen nothing like that before, and even the peasant infantry was surprisingly unarmored compared to Roman standards. Further, older Republican armies couldn't March very far (20 miles a day was Scipio's accomplishment, and rudimentary backpacks)..... I suspect even the ToB period could run circles around a Roman army at least as far as matching goes.

Plus, a Roman Legionary force really should be starving and dying of plagues.


In no era could a Roman army defeat a Chinese army. Period.

Romans would kick their arse easy. Western powers been beating chinese army left and right whenever they wanted.Learn some history.

Im unsure of which army could beat what in all honesty, but i dont care, I am allowed to have a favorite and it is Rome. Rome should come with every game, shogun 3..vs ROME. haha im only kidding guys, but i do want rome 2 modded into this games more modern graphics and better draw distance of models before turning into 2d sprites.

Dushka is a name and should be capitalized.

'Your' is posessive, you meant to use "You are" or "you're."

Your sentence is fragmented. There should be a period after 'joke,' and a fresh sentence starting with "Clearly." (Spelled correctly.)

Rome and China are proper nouns and should be capitalized.

You are missing a period on the "..."

Who is dumb again? I read the post seriously, so I guess I am too. (Too-with-two-o's is another form of 'also' btw.)

[☠ANTONIUS☠]

Rome traded with china such as silk Antoninus Pius sent emissaries to China they both knew about each other but both had pressing problems at home to deal with would be cool if in three kingdoms you could capture a trade point to trade with rome like in shogun 2

I would definitely have to argue this. After the fall of the Han China was only unified for less than a century before they were split apart for another almost 300 years. At the same time, Rome (meaning both East and West) was a military powerhouse with a standing army over 250,000 (with many of those being foederated barbarians).

If you threw the Jin circa 300 at the Romans at the same time (Diocletian, or push forward a couple decades to Constantine) Rome might have won, if they weren't dealing with Persians at the time. In fact, I think they would have, mostly due to the situation in China. At any time without Chinese unity, Rome would win against any of the competing dynasties, I think. Any time China is unified and powerful, I think China would beat Rome even at its height.

Also, the Romans weren't completely conquered by northern horse barbarians. Twice. So they get points for that.

Lmao get a life

[wm.j.olson]

Gosh, I thought this was a game forum, or a forum about a game. Where did I go wrong?

[Wendersnaven]

Just pointing out that if you're going to insult someone, do it well. I see you failed to get the meta-sarcasm ... try friendly on for size.

This is a great scene:

No worries. I think the modder is still working on the campaign side though but it looks like it will be great. At least you can have custom battles with it for now.

You need to learn some history, kiddo. The only time western armies stood a chance at actually beating the Chinese was at the end of the Quing dynasty, which was the lowest point of chinese power in over two millenia.

When they tried before? Well, the Portugese, Spanish, Dutch and English all tried various ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stunts as far back as during the Ming dynasty. It generally resulted in the Chinese butchering whoever made a ruckus with contemptuous ease and noting it down as minor anti-piracy operations.
