[@loremasterxp3635]

31:40 Legend has it that Archimedes last words after being stabbed by a Roman soldier during the siege of Syracuse were "don't disturb my circles!".

[@TWSummary]

Absolutely. He was drawing something on the sand. And the Roman soldier was walking over it or something.

[@WrappedOnion]

The historical names of the cities in Latin makes this series better than most others.

Love this series so far, I'm exactly like you and am OCD with how I play this game, but I would really appreciate if you would be willing to make a tutorial video on how you RPFM to edit the city names in and also how you got carthage more regions aswell as Scipio in this video, I'm not as techy like that, but it really help. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!

Thank you bruh ☺

[@kylerees9242]

Gotta say, historically the 2nd Punic War lasted 17 Years, even absent the major Roman setbacks I’d say you’re well on track to completing the conquest in that timeframe. Carthago Delenda est!

Oh that is interesting yea, thanks for that history lesson ☺ Yea we are well ahead of schedule.

[@josebisk]

Not planned, but I’m currently listening to the History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan and am on the episodes covering the Second Punic War. Very happy at this nice side by side, seeing as your trying to play historically accurate.

[@TWSummary]

Thank you, Bruh. I am trying my best within the limitations of the game. Of course, the more efficient way is to invade Africa in the game after you conquer Sicily.

[@josebisk]

@@TWSummary yeah, makes sense! Love the series!

[@Krayt002]

Great vid as always. Had an idea that maybe when reforms approach if possible you could change the in game date so that it creates the impression that time has passed.

[@TWSummary]

Wish I could but that could mess with the other reforms, as reforms are turn based and calculate the date.

[@Krayt002]

@@TWSummary I see, too bad then I thought the number could be possible if anything. Still it has been such a great series so far.

[@kosmaskeletzis3125]

Summary, how did you make these intros? What tool did you use? They are actually amzing

[@TWSummary]

Hey bruh, how are ya? Hope all is well. There are several tools I use to make such intros. (1) "Photoshop" to draw out the assets. Of course the map which is used by DEI is also drawn by me, upon the ATW map and customized for DEI R2TW settlements, roads, etc. (2) "Da Vinci Resolve" to move the assets around the map and to pan across the map, as well as zoom in and out. (3) "Adobe After Effects" to add some animation effects to the assets like the shatter effect of the defeat armies. Also thanks for the compliment!! ☺

[@kosmaskeletzis3125]

@@TWSummary Thanks for the reply! Did you spawn Scipio with mods? How did he show up? I am planning on having a Rome campaign as well and I was wondering

[@TWSummary]

@@kosmaskeletzis3125 Yes I modded him into the save game, using save game parser.

Summary can you do a video on how to spawn Scipio africanus

[@kaustubhlunawat7827]

How did you get Masaesyli to declare war against Carthage? They are always antagonistic towards me.

[@TWSummary]

Good question, when you make a lot of money, pay them for a non-aggression and then work your diplomatic rating of them towards a defensive alliance. Then when Carthage declares war on you, they will honor the call to arms. It takes money to secure the defensive alliance.

[@Dusty7460]

how do you modify events, bases factions and scripts ? Can you show us a video tutorial ? Thank you for amazing series and Gottla love the intors feels like I am wathing the series of Kings and Generals.

[@takeda8652]

Hey there! Great series! Enjoys me just by watching. However, it made me restart my Rome campaign with almost all the submods you decided to go with. However, I still have this weird army cap and I would like to know if you edited it by hand or it came with one of the submods. Thank you in advance and keep up the great immersive videos!

[@TWSummary]

Arigato! Edited it using save parser.

[@takeda8652]

@@TWSummary Thanks for your answer mate! Really appreciated! I was lazy and went for a submod after failing to alter the proper file on the first run :D The glitch you mentioned for Panormus Akragas means it will crash? It just happened to me... Hope to see more of this series and don't worry, Rome is never boring. I like the way you do this series. The intro also adds a special flavor! Good work, sir!

great let's play series so far, can you maybe explain how you changed the settlement names?

[@TWSummary]

That is modding. You use RPFM to edit the names of the settlements in the db tables.

[@agrobalaz45]

Hi, you have nice videos. I'm always interested in the intro, how you do tactics with those faction characters on that map. Could you show me how you do it? I would like to do something similar, if you have a video or know something about how it is done, I would be grateful. Well thank you

[@MissAlice_646]

How do you modify that Carthage own the territories in Iberia?

[@lvcaslemos]

Ave Romani ✋ That is the best Roma series on DEI here in KZbin, but about these scripted characters, there are others that appeared in certain considerations (like the Scipio Africanus that appeared in this episode), example: Makedonia expands and threatens the Roman processions in Epirus, you get Lucius Emilius Paulus, the future Macedonicus, or even Gaius Julius Caesar to conquer Gaul?

[@TWSummary]

Indeed on some of the major characters will be scripted in.

[@Tony2438]

You said that you get all the same skills for all your agents what skills are they?

[@tayo5681]

Can you realease the submod that changes the population class of socii troops?

[@TWSummary]

Would love to, but until the beta is finalized, I won't. Cause every change will require me to update the mod. And there'll be a lot of changes every week until the beta is finalized.

[@jacobscott1854]

I'm pretty sure its save game compatible but the dei settler mod is really helpful. It requires investment that makes it balanced to send population to new settlements

[@TWSummary]

Absolutely 💯

[@Santro-Maximus]

Hello Summary! Could you tell me how I can change the names of the city's and province myself? Also, I would like to expand the amount of army and navy caps. It's quite low in the start of the campaign 😕 Lastly, I would like to have more units in a army. Not 41 😝 but I was thinking about 25 units. I hope I'm not intruding 😊 I'm already using quite the amount of submods that you are using yourself and it really gives character to the game 😄 Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next episode! 👍🏻

[@Santro-Maximus]

I already found the answer to my first question! Not having any experience with modding so I will accept the current names of the city and province 😅

[@Leon-jy2kj]

hey summary, how did you renamed your settlements? can i do it by save parser?

[@TWSummary]

No just edit the tables in rpfm.

[@BiakSkull]

22:41 nice voice crack bro

[@lvcaslemos]

What is the difficult you are playing, H/M? In others campaign with Roma on Legendary, minor factions like Helvetii (the littles factions generally) don't survive until the first ten years of the campaign, the major factions conquer all - for me, in that stage of the campaign, I prefer the map like that, with many independent factions instead of super-factions growing up in the first years if you player in Legendary.

[@TWSummary]

I'm pkayinh on H and N

[@TWSummary]

But I am using the realistic expansion submod. That prevents factions that didn't historically expand from expanding. In other words you won't see a super massive Iceni or anything like that.

[@njwact]

Which mod is changing the character visuals?

[@TWSummary]

AAA Generals

[@connorquinn2942]

[@aniketghosh6993]

With the 41 troops mod you made, can you control two reinforcing 41 unit stacks too?

[@TWSummary]

Nope the maximum allowed is 41 in a battle at any given time, the other 41 stack will enter only as their comrades route out of the battle zone.

[@legatux]

that was one HUGE battle! what are your pc specs since youre running that enhancer graphics mod

[@TWSummary]

I am not a computer expert but I do know I have a 3090 nVidia as far as graphics card is concerned. Think of the best available hardware for that year, 2020 and I have it. Been waiting a couple of years for the next gen, 5090 to release, before I invest in an upgrade. Plan to skip the 4090.

[@tayo5681]

Hey, I also like to to play with 41+ unit historical armies and population was always a problem can you release the custom submod you made for this playthrough?

[@TWSummary]

Hi there unfortunately, there is no submod for the 41 units, you need to get save parser and edit the save file. Link in the description of the first episode.

[@eric-nd9yy]

how does he have 41 units?

[@jamesstuart4984]

Man it'd be cool if it was possible to actually 100% copy the manipular legion layout. The unit sizes dont really reflect the actual maniples, and if you wanted to actually copy it you'd need quite a bit more than 41 units. 10 units each of 120 men for the hastati, principes, and velites, and then 10 units of 60 for the triarii. The equites are a bit more difficult because there'd be no more than 300 per army, usually half latin citizens and half Italian socii (this applies to all of the aforementioned classes except maybe the velites). Not sure how you would fit that in an appropriate unit size with the correct halves. Then you also had the Rorarii and the Accensi, essentially reserve troops who filled in gaps in the line. Total War mechanics just dont fully allow for the proper Manipular legion, sadly.

[@jamesstuart4984]

And of course every legion was accompanied by a number of orderlies and support staff, which I suppose could be represented by the Baggage Train unit!
