YAS QUEEEEEEEEEEN SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY (literally)

 

[Brancaleone]

The hell does no one use axes in Rome.

Only as a symbol of power.

 

[Larianshill]

Axes in this game actually do exist

SLAY THE PATRIARCHY (accidentally)

Pickaxe-like (the dolabra, a tool that very occasionally had been used in fighting in a pinch) or proper battle axes?

 

[Larianshill]

Actual, proper battleaxes.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

At least the game doesn't force you to turn them into warriors, but I'd still rate this random overmap event as having an agenda.

 

[Fedora Master]

I warned you about the game.

 

[Urthor]

So how is the actual fundamental gameplay loop of this game? After all the bugs are fixed in 2023 is it going to be decent?

After all the bugs are fixed in 2023

The studio that made it disbanded.

Disbanded as in, not even releasing patches disbanded?

Haha what.

THQ Nordic owns the IP so I assume they might patch it, but who knows.

Combat feels more like Blackguards where every action in every turn is super weighty than it does Viking and Conquistador. Not crazy about it so far.

Haha what.

I'm on the discord and there is a patch being worked on. When people are posting bugs the response from the devs is usually "that's already been fixed in the next patch".

I wouldn't trust the words of monkey picture salesmen.

What were the other options?

The essence of a good heist is to first make them trust you, then pull the rug out from under them.

The fact they're getting in on the NFT grift makes them *extremely* trustworthy IMO.

Ah perfect.

Into the backlog for 6 months Expedition Rome goes.

Take them as servs
turn them into warriors
and I think leave them I don't remember last one

Do you like lose morale if you turn them into warriors or like NPCs call you out on it or something? Or is it literally a consequence free thing to do?

What bugs ? The game is remarkably stable and bug-free so far, considering its scope. I am nearly 30 hours in the game and not a single bug, not a single freeze or crash to desk either, with everything set on Ultra, everything seems to be working as intended, the only mild annoyance/oversight is that players who started with the demo won't get some of the early achievements unless they start a new game, like the one for getting command of the legion or meeting the Consul, these should be attributed automatically to players importing saves from the demo.

Turning them into serfs boosted morale, warriors lowered

 

[Sunri]

This is the first game ever that made me regret making a female character or take them to my team, every time there is a woman on the screen I know that cringe will be involved.

Character designer jacked himself off so many times they grew muscles.
