Age of Roma: 300 BCE (OOC/Signups) Open

[Diliath]

This isn't a historical RP, look at the maps, they're crazy.

Yes, the maps sure are crazy. I only spent hours digging up the names of tribes and the extent of their borders, including over half an hour to find one Berber tribe that wasn't Numidia. Then I had to do Arabia, which I was lucky enough to have found it having some big tribes. Scytho-Sarmatia was also fairly easy in comparison with Europe because of the large land-size, but it still took effort. Then I fill in India mostly, adding the few non-Maurya kingdoms. I could find next to no information on Tibetan tribes, and had to improvise on that. After all that, I was eager to finally be done with it. I pulled up a map of the Warring States that seemed rather ambiguous in its placement within China, and I tried to replicate the borders it told me. Yes, I left one out, I do make mistakes.

And then I had to do the culture and religion maps, refilling every little area and trying to find which areas corresponded to what cultures, like how much of Massalia has a Gaulish population? Does any of it follow the Druid religion? and this got especially fun with Italic tribes, and the Veneti in particular. It is quite difficult finding a decent amount of information on the Veneti. I then figured out which tribe corresponds to the Goths, which tribe turned out to be ambiguously the Vandals, where in Bactria the cultural borders were, and other such things.

This is not easy, and it takes a lot of time. So please, do excuse me if your one insignificant tribe isn't there because a practical clone is there under a different name.

I thought that you just took some Rome total war map and edited it a bit, but I have to say, good job, when you have truly searched to all that borders, cultures and religions. Well done!

can i take the maurya empire?

Sorry, it's already been taken. So has Ceylon. The other Indian states are open, though.

I could most likely use the maniple (since this ah I would have that early) unit, which would decrease the effectiveness of any range weapons while still maintaining a good defense against any infantry. Also with my shields I could probably fend off an attack of light cavalry ( taking heavy(to medium) losses mind you). And if i were to conquer a small bit of land on the coast I could recruit enemy ranged units, while still keeping morale up with all those lovely fish. Also, pointy iron swords.

The Hastati, Principes, Triarii triple formation is also a good tactic(even against barbarians ).

Okay, I was thinking if I do that, but have 3 maniple units at the front, landing on a beach. Behind them are the HPT triple formation, 5 untis of them, with 2 ranged and my general on horseback.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Gauls are famous for their high-quality forging, and their primary weapons consist largely of triangular iron swords, and the Gauls were also known to be fairly good horsemen. In a Gaulish army, you could expect light cavalry and a lot of swordsmen. The typical Gaulish armor consisted of chainmail, unlike the Britons who preferred to fight naked.

Use this information as you will.

Kalinga then!

Yes the naked thing will have to be phased out, early introduction of a stiff upper lip should help with that haha

Country: Brigantia
Demonyms: Brigantes
Currency: iron coin
Name of Ruler: Venutius
Do you know where it is on the map?: Northern England
Population: 30,000

In-Game Focus: Unite the British Isles, repel foreign invasions

-101- (Keep this so I can find your app)

I think I may have been too conservative with my population, I'm not familiar with the british population at the time but looking at the size of Brigantia, I think it might be bigger than 30,000. the population at the time was 3-4 million in all britiain but more concentrated in the south so I think roughly 250,000 in all of Northern britiain?

Celts and continental Germans tended to have populations much higher than people realize. That sounds fine.

IC comes out today right?

Yeah, I myself thought that it would be lower but when I did some research and took into account the size I felt an edit was in order.

Are there any co-ops in this RP?

We've got one around here, iirc, though I forget who.

Dayum son calm down.

I never said it was easy, or bad. I said crazy.

Implying the maps are very wrong.

Ik, what are all of my modifiers ?

I don't know. I'm not OP, so I can't put them in.

Macedon wants in

[Azaflaza]

Highlanders life- like the Picts in the north, the Brigantes are primarily located in mountainous regions which gives them a familiarity with living and fighting in these terrains. Bonus when fighting in highland terrain or fighting an enemy without this modifier.

King in the north- king of Brigantia rules over a huge amount of land equating to pretty much all of Northern England, as such he is powerful and influencial. Bonus to public relations with the king throughout the british isles making conquered populations quick to be subdued.

North/South divide- the hardships and struggles of life in Brigantia has created a cultural divide between the northern Kingdom and the southern kingdoms, as such a rivalry exists between the two regions. Disadvantage of diplomacy with southern kingdoms

Britannia rules the waves- with an extensive coastline to defend from Nordic raiders and the typical marine associations with a islander culture, the Brigantes hold the strongest fleeting Britain. Bonus when fighting Coastal raiders or other Britannic kingdoms on the sea.

202- modifiers for Brigantia
