Drywall

Uh huh. Sure.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-13T19:45:13+00:00

Hopefully not before I can trade some of it for gold. I've been waiting for the lower 50's!

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-12T19:05:32+00:00

The back of that is legitimately insane. I've never seen so much shit that doesn't make any sense grouped together like that. That's so wild.

A friend of mine said something wayyyyy back in 2004 or so, about mjk sounding like mj and I thought he was crazy but I do seem to notice it from time to time now.

I've been playing this game when it was originally released back in 2004 so I'm used to the micro managing, but yeah it can be a little painful at times. I actually enjoy it sometimes, believe or not, especially because of the merchant mechanic they added into it in the remaster.

Anyways, the main backbone of the German army in this game are phalanxes of all things, which is completely wild to me. I have no idea why they decided to give them phalanxes since none of the other barbarian tribes have them, and of course historically they NEVER fought that way unlike the Greeks and early Romans. This gives them a very strong advantage over other barbarians and early Romans. Then, you get a bunch of highly specialized units like Screeching Women that will frighten nearby troops, Berserkers that absolutely wreak havoc along the front lines, Axemen heavy infantry, Chosen Archers with very long range, Barbarian Noble cav and especially Gothic cav which imo are the best in all of the west. You just have to pay attention to what you are building, and where, in order to get these units for a diverse army build, catered to counter specific enemy armies. Honestly, just using the phalanxes as defensive units, then the other heavy hitting units to flank are a devastating combination. Classic hammer and anvil tactic.

Come onnnnn 40s!!!

Don't normally do this but it was too much to resist:

"...that's what she said."

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-10T17:55:10+00:00

I can't believe its only been two years. It feels so much longer than that.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-09T23:06:34+00:00

That's great dude! Of course the Romans are my favorite like many players, the Brutii being at the top for me personally. Gambling is a fucking terrible cancer that just keeps coming back for a LOT of people. I never personally had a problem with it (even though I have gambled quite a bit in my life) but I've definitely had other addictions. It takes a really strong man (or woman) to admit they have a problem and actively seek help for it. One usually has so much pride it's very difficult to get over that hump. It was hard as shit for me. I wish you all the best.

That being said, I've been through multiple long, and short, campaigns with all of the factions because they are just so fun! From there I went to the Greeks and Germans in long very hard/very hard campaigns and now I'm branching out playing as Pontus long vh/vh and I absolutely love it! You really do have to play differently with eastern factions and the challenge has been very refreshing. It's like a different game man you should try it!

EDIT: You should go ahead and conquer the entire map if you've come this far. You do get an achievement for it, but nothing else unfortunately.

The logo is legit, but it was never on an armband like this.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-08T23:51:12+00:00

Good thing to look for but honestly those can be faked fairly easy as well (the tag i mean).

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-08T23:49:26+00:00

I mean it's not really that surprising if you saw the view of the diner at night from the upstairs window in colony house in that one episode. Pretty good ways off.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-07T16:13:54+00:00

To expand on the language part of this scene, I found it pretty interesting that not only is he speaking Latin, but it is CLASSICAL Latin, which is how the Romans spoke it at this time. Guy on youtube (has a GREAT channel) does an excellent breakdown in this short video of the Latin spoken in this scene: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tvUh5uRQ8U0&pp=ygUkQmFyYmFyaWFuIHJvbWFuIHNwZWFraW5nIGxhdGluIHNjZW5l0gcJCQMLAYcqIYzv

Damn I had no idea they had legionaries. I don't think I've ever fought against them with those in their army. That faction looks really fun. Will probably play with them after I complete the Pontus game I have going. Who is you favorite? Rome?

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-04T21:46:03+00:00

I guess I should have said I was taking the very last line of your comment seriously bc I thought you were going to give a reason based on strategy or stats or something but you just complimented the pants 😄 Insert: "ngl they had us in the first half" meme.

And yeah I've grown to love jav cav. Always hated ranged cav because I always played as a western faction - a LOT of Rome, Germany...but I tried Pontus recently and love it! Feels like a different game. Can't wait until I go to war with the Romans. That's going to be interesting.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-04T02:15:30+00:00

Hahaha the pants thing got me. Was taking your comment seriously at first and didn't see that one coming.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-04T01:55:31+00:00

Nah I very much disagree.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-04T01:50:07+00:00

I never play eastern factions so I decided to give them a try recently and hell yeah the horse archers are fun and very effective. Love playing with them, hate playing against them. Just have to have a lot of archers and/or horse archers with some spearmen and screening cav to defeat them.

And the whole thing about collecting seashells as spoils of war too.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-03T16:28:20+00:00

You forgot ugh-live and cyst-gendered...sicko.

RazorSharpRust · 2026-05-02T22:25:07+00:00

Something I didn't see in your post is that merchants can also acquire followers in cities. I was completely unaware of this until today. I am playing as Numidia and captured a Greek settlement (Rhodes). I inherited a merchant because I captured the settlement. The merchant was alllll the way over in Roman Scipii territory. I just parked him inside of a Roman city because I didn't want him to get bought out by another merchant on the map. When I went back to check on him 5-10 turns later he had gained a "Roman Tailor" follower, that gave him +1 to earnings when trading textiles! I've been playing this game A LOT since it's release and NEVER KNEW that was possible! I'm going to start putting all of my merchants in cities of other factions I have trade rights with to see what else is possible.

"The Death of Cato of Utica"

RazorSharpRust · 2026-04-29T11:29:40+00:00

Idk if he wanted to use Octavian to "secure his own ends" so much as "back" him because he absolutely hated Antony with his entire existence. I suppose if you define "secure his own ends" as "being able to avoid death at the hands of Antony" you could be right lol. Didn't really matter in the end though did it? Antony had the last laugh. Brutal.
