The anime catgirl priestess even gets her own ending slide, despite appearing in the game for about 15 minutes.

The best part is after the attack on Alexandria. You can kill the Pharaoh, you can kill Cleopatra, you can kill everyone and their grandmothers, sometimes with absolutely zero reason needed whatsoever, yet you go into that library, find that dead guy, and this other guy comes out and is like "lol I didn't do it, bye bye" and literally walks away lmao.
Did they really include the pharaoh in the Ptolemaic Egypt, one of the Diadochi kingdoms?

In the grand finale, the game expects me to rely on the catapults to get the job done, after teaching me for 50 hours that catapults are useless. I'm puzzled.

This game needs a mod that will remove all those injury events, I can't walk 5 meters without some retard breaking his ankle or scorpion stinging someone

Yeah, it's incredibly stupid and annoying. Compounded by the fact that, as far as I can tell, there is no way to pass time in safety. Everything in the game requires 1-5 days to pass before it happens, from crafting things to moving armies etc., and while your main party just stands around waiting for these things to happen they're under constant attack by rabid foxes and falling tree branches. Why the fuck can't I just stay home?

Finished the game. It was a satisfying experience, but I feel like the ending I got was too sugarcoated. The ABSOLUTE POWER ending in Viking made you feel like an absolute cunt, because it required you to betray, murder and turn against your companions. It was the first time in my gaming career, where the game reached out from the monitor, slapped me across the face and called me a bastard. With Rome, it feels like it handed me the good ending.

Re: class balance, my assassin MC just cleared an entire mission by himself on turn 1 using Reaper and sneak attack on Hard. So, I mean. The veles obviously isn't useless, even if maybe the triarius/princeps team is overall stronger.

Reaper not only triggers on tactical item kills but also resets the per-turn use limit on them. This means that with throwing knives and sneak attack, a reaping assassin can do about 45 damage per enemy, and he can sprint anywhere on the map on turn 1 to start the chain reaction in the most advantageous spot you can find.

Why the fuck can't I just stay home?

You can. Took me a while to figure out too. You can just pass time while 'on the map' but in the camp, if that makes sense. There's a button in the UI at the top right - Play/Pause. When you exit the camp, dont move and press play and time passes.

Yeah, you still get attacked by foxes and shit if you press that button while standing on the camp square.

Expeditions was indeed retarded, women soldiers in Spain or Portugal never existed,


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antónia_Rodrigues
She made herself noted for her campaigns against the Moors and had a successful military career and was known as "o Terror dos Mouros"

"o Terror dos Mouros" roughly translates to "Moors Bane"


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catarina_Lopes
But, putting aside the natural weakness, she was clothed with such a manly spirit, that coming with him to the fight, cast him down to the ground, and having no weapon wherewith to smite him, she took advantage of those which his own wrath ministered to her (for as a poet said: Furor arma ministrat. (Their rage supplies them with weapons.) - Virgílio.) And so she put her fingers in his eyes, and plucked them out;

Bestia is a weird character. Sometimes he's a wise warrior-philosopher, sometimes he's a violet oonga-boonga man, whose stupidiy is played for comedy. It creates a certain dissonance.

How many chapters does this game have? I started 3 and at this point I just want this game to end.
