One example is the main Rome campaign: it begins with the First Punic War and the struggle for Sicily and is then expanded step by step. Each expansion represents a major historical phase or turning point, rather than every single year in between.

That's a very good thing that I came back on this topic to read this post since ...



... I also decided to start a 10 scenarios long campaign about the 1st year of the 1st punic war like 30 minutes ago
(that's Messana and Regium )

My first thought is logically to cancel mine (after all, I'm just at the start of the first map), but at the same time, I start to think it could be interesting to tell the same events but with our own campaigns
But I'm also thinking that Uzbek will try to find me to force me to continue to work on my serbian campaign if I continue to delay it...

Tobi72 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 18, 2026 8:52 pm No problem. Well, I'll leave it up to you to continue with the campaign; I'll think of something else. Rome is big. Since I'm continuing the next part of my campaign with Rome's enemies (Brennus), it will take a while before I start the main campaign anyway. Let me know.[/color][/b]

The 1st Infantry Regiment of the French Republican Guard (Garde Républicaine) during joint exercises with the 1st Infantry Battalion (1er BCP) and the 12th Cuirassier Regiment (12e RC) of the French Armed Forces, 2026.

Imeror, don't be too upset, because there are still horsemen around today.

So, I'm done with the Celtic design for now, but I still need to adjust the equipment files and sounds. However, I still have a lot of work to do on the design of the Etruscans and Epirotes. In addition, a few new Roman units will be added. Only then can I start working on the campaign. I'll keep you posted

Good, I decided to continue it then
And we all must remember something :

DELENDA CARTHAGO EST.

Imeror, don't be too upset, because there are still horsemen around today.

Indeed, the Republican Guard maintains its equestrian tradition for ceremonial reasons and respect for tradition, they always parade on horseback on Bastille Day.
I know that small units of horses exist, so that they can be theoretically deployed as supply transport in terrains where no vehicles can go (typically mountains far from a dangerous regions), but I have no idea if it was done recently.

Still, we don't have gladius nor scutum today
I do a single small campaign to see how the roman mod work, then I continue on MC again a bit




By the way :

Since I continue to make a custom campaign for March of the Eagles, I will open a separate topic soon to not overlap with main work made by Tobi.
My first campaign will cover the first year of the 1st punic war, with the romans. It will start with the crossing of Messana strait and end with the Romans approaching Syracuse.





3 scenarios already done, a 4th one is well advanced.
I advance faster with this setting, it's very pleasant. Sources are rare, so I make research faster than for current scenarios

A beautiful contrast in winter that will delight Naked Fanatics.

Tobi72 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 20, 2026 7:34 pm You can count on it, there will be a Spartacus uprising. I have already made a list of the units I will be making.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that. So the slaves must be in the army reserve. Then click on the slaves or livestock units you want to sell and press one of the two Cmd/Alt keys on your keyboard, located to the right and left of the space bar, as well as the D key. A window will appear asking if you really want to disband the units... Yes... frd.png

Rome will learn what defeat means!

bondjamesbond wrote: ↑Tue Jan 20, 2026 7:31 pm Oh, that's probably my favourite thing to do in this game: selling livestock and slaves ))) And using the prestige I earn to upgrade and heal my elite troops )))

It's not clear whether there will be a Spartacus uprising, as these slaves will already look like this )))

bondjamesbond wrote: ↑Tue Jan 20, 2026 7:57 pm Well, we have to start with the fact that Spartacus was far from being the first, although he was the most famous leader of a slave uprising. But how often did slaves revolt in Ancient Rome? It turns out – very often!
