CONCEPTS

OBJECTIVES
Your objectiv is simple; Try to emulate or excede the Empire building exploits of the Ancient Romans.

There are 219 objectives. For a decisive victory you have to take 215 objectives (This would include most of Britain). 200 will grant you a marginal victory. 180 is a marginal defeat and 150 is a desicive defeat, feel free to fall on your sword!

REBUILDING CITY WALLS
If the City Walls of a city are destroyed when it is captured the CivCity tool should be used to rebuild them immediately. This is intended to prevent the complete destruction of cities that repeatedly change hands during a war. This should also be applied to computer controlled cities which lose their walls.
Save the game, launch CivCity and load the save game. Find the city on the list and tick the City Walls box. Now reload the game. You should see the City Walls have reappeared. Please also replace any city walls you see have been destroyed when the AI capture a city.
I have included CivCity in the scenario folder.

CIV 2 UNLIMITED
I have included Civ2Unlimited with the scenario folder. This is to be used to launch the game as it allows for many more units than the vanilla games maximum limit. To use Civ2Unlimited copy the two files in the folder and paste them into your main Test of Time directory. Double click the Civ2Unlimited.exe and it will bring up the launch options. Make sure World Max Units: 32000 is ticked then click Launch Game. Test of Time will then load up as usual.

TRADE
In order to keep the game in balance and free the player from the tedious task of rush building hunderds of units I decided to make Merchants non-buildable. Instead Merchants will appear via events in major trade hubs. Most of these begin the game under AI control and the event will be blocked. When the Romans capture the city the event will work and the Merchants will appear. You can re-home merchants!

THE LEGIONS
I wanted to find a way to represent the Republican era Legion. Just making all the units buildable would not work unless the player was willing to build them all. I adapted the recruit idea from Heresson's Komnenai scenario. The expensive New Legion unit is intended to destroy itself against the training camp to trigger the Legion event that will produce a complete Legion. This means the player can spend less time micro managing cities and more time building the Empire!

WONDERS
The Roman Senate (Leonardo's Workshop) will upgrade all Republican Era foot units to either Cohorts or Auxiliarys when the Marian Reforms technology is discovered.

The Germanics have The Barbarians wonder (Sun Tzu's War Achademy) in Germania, a ficticious city in the far north-east corner of the map. It is unreachable so don't even bother wasting time trying to capture it!

Iberia's Resources (Hoover Dam) will give your cities a major production boost if it can be taken from the Carthaginians.

The Warfleet Arsenal in Carthage gives the Punic Navy an edge over the Romans and would be a great prize!

The other wonders are all valuable, but not game changers.

REWARDS
As well as the Wonders there are several other rewards for capturing enemy cities. This could be money, new units, new technologies. Capturing major trade centers will allow the event production of Merchants. These will have no home city and can be re-homed!

CITIES LIST - LATIN NAMES
In ACIII I have used tribal names for many Celtic, Germanic and other Barbarian cities. These tribe/cities are located in the general location of the tribe in question on the spot where a later Roman colony would be founded. For example the Catuvellauni tribe in Brittania were conquered by the Romans who later founded Londinium (London).
When one of these cities is captured a text event popup will prompt you to rename the city. I would have a pen and paper to hand to make a note. This process has no effect on the events so don't be shy renaming cities! I have included a lits of Latin city names in case you miss the popup!
