Excellent LP, but what does the message on battle with the line of Roman legionaries mean?

Which one do you mean?  ???

992
I'd glad it sounds like you're using ones that improve the graphics; is there any reason not to use them?

Aye, two possible reasons.
- Always Stability
- Possibly Hardware

To be honest i haven't installed any mod other than Blood & Gore just yet.. But i have stronghold mod, bodies, heads and one or two more on the "To do" list. (Oh, right. A lord's men, is also already included!)
I gave you a link to a site with hundreds, if not thousands of mods, i have no idea what can be found there :)

but as long as we make something which IS NOT a pure mage..
Elaborate? And in Morrowind one should make a jack of all trades character. More possibilities = more gameplay = more fun.

993
Don't be afraid, viewers! All suggestions that don't break "the rules" will most likely be added. A very good list of possible mods can be found here as well as other places.

I haven't played Morrowind since 2006, but i have some fond memories of it, and i shall share these pictures, for you to know what can you expect from the LP.

Edit : Aye, Better Bodies and Better Heads are two must haves. Keep em coming. List even the obvious ones, because i may have forgotten about one or two.
Edit 2 : Yes, that language was indeed Polish.

This game does look really interesting. Just wondering, is it always that dark in the game or can you adjust the light settings?

You can, but by default it's dark, and looks better that way.

995
Surprised to see me? I told you that we're going to tackle Morrowind after we're done with Spain, and we ARE done with Spain.

I have just now dusted my Morrowind, Tribunal and Bloodmoon CD's, and are about to install them, once again.

Now, the Let's Play will be modded, and you - unwashed viewer - have the option to toss in your own suggestions for used modifications. I'm an old Morrowind moder myself, and will use a few of my own babies, but your picks will also be included!

A few limitations :

- No stronghold mods, i already have one picked and will only use that one. Edit : I mean faction-specific stronghold mods. Secondary ones are fine
- No nudity, there are children watching! (besides, the LP will be overly offensive even without explicit sexual content)
- No Alpha mods, the game will be unstable enough without unfinished content
- No Manga / Cartoonish themed stuff. This pretty much excludes any Japanese mod,
- No wings
- REALLY, No wings.


Let's hear it out! (and no, i won't tell you which stronghold have i picked, spoilers are a no-go!)

If any texture suggestions will appear, please try picking dark themes. It will not be a "Let's solve quests and help people!" let's play.

I reserve the right to not include suggestions that will conflict with other mods / the theme of the LP.

Regards

For those who have Rome Total War installed. The combat replay file is available here (214 kb)

For those who don't.. The battle was over 20 minutes long, and after cutting out every non-action-packed second, it STILL was 17 minutes. It will take a while to upload, and i wont add any music

Barbarossa? Here. There were plenty of wardog showoffs in the past, i have nothing to add, really. Dogs are fun, but not effective. I would do a much worse job filming them. I hope you don't mind?

When i upload the video, it will be found in this post. In 3 hours

997
Nuthulu's Army needed a revamp, thus..
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'll post video replay later today. Then we move to Morrowind. (Well.. The Durr Hurr warhounds still need to be made.. but meh!)

998
Well, Hyo's Praetorian army did the trick.

As far as i see it armies have to be either walls or rams.
Either immovable defense or unstoppable force.

The Bulls + Fanatics / Generals + Merc Slingers army is a ram. They pack enormous shock force. You have to outmaneuver (Impossible for AI) outlast (9/3/3 Praetorian army did just that) or outshock such army to win (pack MORE damage)
It works for every army, really.

999
Oooh! Idea.


Two armies, all peasants.

3 stacks of Peasants can be routed by a single unit of Spartans. YOU do it  :P

1000
Is this last request my HURR DURR wardogs army?

Yeah. Unless someone pops by with more ideas  :P

I'll probably field flaming pigs or peasants against the dogs. DURR HURR

Should you use a closed o formation, and i had urbans. I would surround you and toss javelins from all sides, but not at the hoplites that face me - Instead ones that face AWAY. Your armor does not matter, when a javelin stabs you in your side.
Followed by a massive charge at the weakest point, and your army is gone.

If at any moment you moved - charge and chain rout.
If you ever raised the spears - game over

That's theory of course, as i never faced a closed O phalanx army, but i'm nearly sure that it will work perfectly.

There is a reason for people to use Lolurban stacks. They are the easiest to play online.
(The multiplayer version of campaign Spartans..)

Edit : Nuthulu, you really do not want to see the replay. AI blows as Seleucid. Unless you want to implement some changes, it's a crushing victory and unimpressive fight.

1002
I'd advise against closed O, unless you face IMPOSSIBLE odds. A Tight C with strong infantry or cavalry on flanks has the benefit of LURING enemy cavalry exactly where you want it.

If there is one gap in the wall of phalanx, this is where the enemy cav will go.
Group your archers (and skirmishers if you use them. I did) and put some strong units in the back line. When enemy cav charges your flank focus fire with your archers and charge with the melee. They will break like a twig.

You may have already seen this pic ( i posted it somewhere in Armenia LP )
This setup was enough to wipe out 3 full roman stacks at once.


Archers start outside, and after two volleys move behind the hoplites. Heavy Peltasts are decent for the role of flank infantry, and have javelins too.
Ignore the siege weapons and pack more infantry.

The two generals were going all Dick Mountainjoy on the enemy each fight. Taking out onagers, balistas, archers, slingers, skirmishers.. In that order.

As for players.. I advise against all phalanx armies. The terrible maneuverability makes them an easy prey.

1003
Well then, let me tell you that elephants and chariots are very, very unreliable units, and nearly never will do you any good against players.
We may have to give the Seleucid some monetary advantage, because the attempt i just now finished..

1004
Well..
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Any objections?  :o

1005
This would have to be pretty high denarii since seleucid mega units are expensive.

x4 silver shield pikemen.
x4 silver shield legionnaires.
x2 armoured elephants
x3 cataphracts.
x3 companion cav.
x2 archers.
x2 scythed chariots.

 Distribute experience/armour and attack as you want.

I assume you want me to play as Spain?

I'm going with Sahara Desert, Night and Terrible weather for some eye candy.
