Expeditions: Rome - the final Expeditions game from Logic Artists

and the enemies have the same power as before?

good point, this doesn't make sense. Why aren't the enemies also going and getting stronger?

I think I'm close to finishing the game. Just going to mention, that it's impossible for me to take VIXI seriously. They're like cartoon characters in an otherwise serious game, like Cobra or Team Rocket. Whenever they make an appearance, it immediately takes me out of the story.

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

Deep.

 

[Alienman]

That's how scaling works. The enemies are doing sidequests to become stronger as well.

Am I supposed to go somewhere with this in order to unlock some unique item?

Reached Act 3 so far and I can't believe I'll say this but the shitpile that is Vikings was actually better than this.
Running on hard, difficulty is non existent, encounters are generic, lame and copypasted.
It's also designed to waste your time - I don't want to fucking wait 2 minutes for all of my chars to individually go down or up the ladder, or jump down from the ledge or some inane bs, especially since the jumping down animation is the funniest, jankiest shit you'll see in anno domini 2022.
The entire game feels like it came straight outta google playstore - from itemization, to shamelessly gacha like combat and lootboxes (lmao at this).
Woke shit aside, the game is so fundamentally dull as shit, really. It shows you everything it's got in the first 2-3 hours. You can then play on like me, hoping that hey it might get better at some point or another but it does not and you end up pouring 20 hours into this steaming pile of shit.

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.

There's a difficulty setting that reduces the chance of getting multiple negative events in a row, tried that?

You say this but then don't mention the insane amount of load-screens?

Your dude broke his leg for the 47th time this week tripping over a piglet and has to go to hospital? LOAD to go into the camp and LOAD back out.

Want to craft literally anything? LOAD into the camp, LOAD out, wait for time to pass, LOAD back in, grab item, LOAD back out. You can only pass time on the overworld map and you can only open it by a LOAD screen. Upgrading anything in your camp?

You better believe that's a loadin'.

I mean, I excluded the technical aspects because my primary gripe with the game is with the overall design of pretty much everything really, but you're correct. That can probably be optimized and fixed however, but the game has fundamental gameplay flaws that can't be - the most glaring one being this isn't an RPG nor a tactical game. It's a browser game parading as a tactical RPG. You can't even build your characters meaningfully because the skill tree is so inconsequential and linear and there's no stats. I can go on and on about how shitty everything is, purely for the joy of watching jew shills like Infinitron seethe about it but I've wasted enough time on this "game"

 

[rusty_shackleford]

correct
there are plenty of games not in GRPG that are much closer to being an RPG than this is

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Note to self: archers with fire arrows are vital for some encounters.

 

[Dodo1610]

What kind of asshole designed those sieges I have to abandon my ironman playthrough because no one told me that my soldiers aren't healed after rach fight. Besides the entire legion part is a complete waste of time since you can just travel around and collect resources with no time pressure.

Did they really include the pharaoh in the Ptolemaic Egypt, one of the Diadochi kingdoms?

I'm not quite sure about your question, but Ptolemy XIII is in the game and is referred to as a pharaoh.

Because that's how the Ptolemies styled themselves.

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.
