Rome: Total War Multiplayer Campaign!!!

What Is This?

This is a play by email (PBEM) multiplayer campaign modification for Rome: Total War made by Myrddraal of www.totalwar.org. For more information on what it is, access the TW wiki http://miydai.com/wiki/index.php?title=Multiplayer_Campaign

How Do I play?

Someone has to start the campaign (In game Amber it will be [WOT]{LC}Metalmaggot555). Then that person runs the script and makes their turns (see the next two sections for details on the script) and sends it to the next guy in a pm or email (you can attach it with a .zip file). Then the next player up takes the quicksave file, runs the script, makes their turns, and passes it to the next guy. You get the idea...

The game then continues like this, each player will have 48 hours of reserve time to play his turn. Past 48 hours any alliance member may play the player's turn. 72 hours after the previous players turn, anyone from that clan, or a friend of that player, can do their turn. If the player wishes to skip, then it shall be skipped.

Rules

BE SURE TO READ THESE RULES!! ANYONE WHO BREAKS THEM WILL BE PUNISHED SEVERELY AND WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS FORUM AND IF IT IS A Warrior Of Troy, THEY WILL BE DEMOTED FOR DISHONOURABLE CONDUCT!!! IF IT IS AN ALLIED OR FRIENDLY CLAN, THEIR LEADERS SHALL PUNISH THEM AS THEY BEST SEE FIT

* Do not cheat. Cheating may be but is not limited to: Looking at other players' turns when not allowed, saving and reloading games for the purposes of avoiding ambush or to obtain ill-gotten tactical information, repeatedly gifting a city to another faction or the AI for the purpose of giving said faction the resultant free troops, abusing the diplomatic system by asking the AI for large amounts of money and then betraying them, or generally dishonorably exploiting the gameworld rather than employing strategy.
* Sometimes it may be necessary for one player to substitute another. During such events, the new player must play with the new faction's best interest in mind.
* It is understood that agreements are as absolute as the players make them.
* It is understood that everything posted in the context of the game constitutes roleplay and do not represent actual friendships etc.
* Each player have 48 hours of reserve time to play his turn. Past 48 hours any alliance member may play the player's turn. 72 hours after the previous players turn, anyone from that clan can do their turn. If the player wishes to skip, then it shall be skipped.
* In full vanilla games (18 players), the victors are the last four factions standing. These may be in the same alliance or may not. In smaller games there might be fewer victors.

All victors in official games will earn a Victor's Medal. The single player remaining after a game will earn a Triumph Trophy and entry into the Great Conqueror's Histories. In the 'Amber' Game, victors will recieve prizes depending on 1st, 2nd, 3rd. There will only be 3 winners in 'Amber'. For more information consult "The Tournament Grounds; Rome: Total War Multiplayer Campaign" for more detailed information.

* It is not allowed to give regions back and forth for the purpose of generating free troops. This is an example how it may not be used: HRE gives Denmark all of its regions but the capital, and then Denmark gives all the regions back. As a result, both factions gets an assload of free troops that can be used.

But note that the give region feature is allowed to use, as long as it is not in an abusive manner. You can transfer a region to a faction once, and after that it is not allowed to transfer it back to you ever through diplomacy.

FOR THE WHOLE LIST OF RULES, THAT MUST BE READ IF YOU ARE ENTERING OR PLAYING THE MP CAMPAIGN, VISIT http://warriorsoftroy.myfreeforum.org/about86.html

How Do I Install The Script?

Installation is quite simple. All you need is a unmodified copy of Rome: Total War v1.5. This can be accomplished either by installing Barbarian Invasion on top of Rome and using the 1.6 patch or just using the 1.5 patch on a regular Rome: Total War installation. Once that is done, you have to then download Vanilla for you RTW. This can be found at http://www.megaupload.com/. Once it is downloaded and mods the RTW, then put in the files attached to this post in the necessary files.

IN ORDER TO PREVENT A USER FROM RE-INSTALLING, COPY THE ORIGINALS WHICH WILL BE COPIED OVER AND PASTE THEM IN A SAFE LOCATION


How Do I Run The Script?

Before you make your moves for the turn you must run the script! Here's how:

Once you have loaded the quicksave file:

1. Push F1
2. Click the ? Button.
3. The advisor will pop up, click the show me how button.
4. The script is now running you can close the advisor and make your turn.

Hmmm...

Hail HELL and hello all!

No worries that is a relevant topic. The one I had found and that our friends, Miydai, do just requires a simple script and you can play mp rtw campaign. This seems more detailed and that. I shall experiment with it and see how well it runs. At the same time though we can still get names and people to apply for factions. The game can be run through the script quite easily, but this seems to be a better way to manage it. Thanks for that I'll research it some more see if we'll use it.

But just so people know the campaign is still going, just the method might change, depending on how good this mod is.


Cheers!

Hail ALL!!

Well I went and investigated the website. I've downloaded it but havn't tried it. The whole purpose of the mod that clanless has posted is to play the rtw mp campaign with battles. It is much more complex of a design then the one with the script, and plus the script is a final version, whereas the Rome: Total multiplayer mod is still a work in progress. I think that first we should do it with the script, and once the mod is totally worked out and made sure it works 100% then go on that

It's a good premise, but the man making it is by himself. It's sad but for the 1st one ever here, I think we should just use the script.

But kudos to clanless for showing me this


Cheers! Cheers! And enjoy smiting your enemies!!!
