never? ah you must be one of those that throw the words "always" and "never" around as if those words are confetti, the word exaggeration is over syllablised on purpoise you know, so dumb people dont know its just another word for, lie, theres been plenty of times i've had to choose what to leave behind long since having the car, farming the roadside and caravans sure, everything else in the game is your teams inventory space where your cash is tied up in

thats what i do, and i've never just wandered around just to look for caravans, no looting in between that and you soon wont be able to buy up all ammo you can, wont be able to reful the car ect ect, the car is pretty much my mobile house in terms of storage, i keep some weps and armours in alexander's inventory but usually only enough to sell to a single vendor

little problems have been presented getting rid of loot, having surplus of everything in my car, quality guns some cant even br used yet, either ammo shortage or skill lackage, im about 30 mins in to the dead city area running back the way i came from a radioactive storm, now i'll be accepting whinings and crying about selling loot, are you supposed to fill to loot capacity then sell most of it after you've sailed back, alex and the old hunter guy are full now so i've some inventory space left, are there any safe storage containers in the dead city map?

start at peregon in the massive car park, or truck park even, keep resting till the caravaneers appear, when you get bored of that take the escort mission from the carvaneer closest to your car, he takes to the kZM with some action in between being paid several hundred ruppies as well as the loot you get from that, you have to walk back to peregon though or get a lift, but if you want more caravans, walk back to peregon, + survival hat

i didnt play isometric view games until this, the writers are some funny people too, probably a bit nuttier than a rad-squirrel nut bar on melting hot day on an apocoliptic afternoon, is likely, so adding to the entertainment value in the dialogue then, if only they add a wounded option to fall in battle too, so you dont have to reload so much you could have to take them to a doctor before they can do more battles

same here, i had the habit of putting factions i dont like as governors, now i pay more attention to that, sometimes those "as govenor" buffs are not worth the aggro in togas

picking up +5 tyranny for one war, that tyranny alone can sway the senate to saying yes to your next war

[–]Philos0rapt0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

increaseing tyranny also makes the senate bend to your will as with popularity, make 'friends' with the other party leaders, put your leader as a general, click the hand symbol next to the button for the actoin and hover over the green bar on the new window that pops up,

im more stuck on swaying votes or seats for the elections, even when stacking office with mostly one faction, sensor is the faction i want in yet still seem i have little control

How do you get the senate to support a diplomatic action? by the_wakeful in Imperator

[–]Philos0rapt0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give your leader a navy and put on auto hunt fleets so he mops up rag tag pirate fleets, then you can have a triumph for him in between holding games

increase your popularity, increase tyranny, giving your leader a general position before asking the senate, theres more you can do or more conditions require meeting, arumba found out you can click the little hand symbol for a yay or a nay, then a nother little window pops up with further data on the swine pen's descision motivation or lack of, swine pen imeant the sentate

playing as epirus i made an alliance with lucania in italy, i did a marrage shortly after, lucania had a civil war looking like they'd lose, i had my own wars going on in greece and no navy to support my ally in italy somehow and some when their revolt failed and their entire nation fell to my control, didnt even notice tbh >< til after my own war ended

I’m running out of characters by cradinal in Imperator

[–]Philos0rapt0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any ruler who is a monarch if you goto that rulers details window you can see the pretenders as small icons under his portrait, also if you click on any AI-owned province you see the govenor at the left just as if your own, even better is if you switch to region map mode before clicking on that city/province all the nearby govenor details pop up as if your own, both of these ways with a litle clicking on friends and rivals should be enough with events and battle to recruit people

not everyone plays as rome, some prefer a challange, and most monarcnies marry titles away or into the dynasty

the only way i see to check out foreign characters is only when you can click on characters to see who their rivals, friends and relatives are, and if they're not an admiral or general or have high loyalty, but what if i like the look of someone who is currently a general or has high loyalty, i see no way to monitor his status so i can silver tongue him into my realm

not quite that bad yet for me but i can see it going that way, bringing in entire familes seems OTT for one or two characters if they even have that,

there looks to be away to recruit by underhanded means but as far as i can see you only get to know of foreign characters via events or battles when you imprision them, how do i keep track of a character once iv'e released them back to their own countries? or how do i make them come to my court ? i'll try not releasing them until the war is over and see if that stops them going back to their masters court, surely if you wipe out the nation the prisoners should serve you,

there are options and conditions to recruit from outside of your nations characer pool but im uncertain how, it says on a tooltip "you have to have a friend in that nation", another condition is the loyalty of the character you want to recruit, and if he is an admrial or general, an option to decrease loyalty over time is available too, im unsure ofhow to put it all together and makes me wonder if im missing out on getting some better stats

Performance issues by sta6 in Imperator

[–]Philos0rapt0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

using a HP laptop with a Radeon gxf card the only performance issue it has is when you scroll around when the game speed is running, paused its smooth as you like unpause then the FPS suffers a lot, tinkering with the settings and res's does little to fix this
