CAESAR III
LEGIONAIRE'S LIFE
NICE
I want a game like Daggerfall but in ancient Rome and you battle weird monsters and shit
Kvno
Honestly, greco-roman era fantasy could be so kino, I wish more settings attempted it
Lots of settings have the totally not roman empire in, but very few fully embrace the mythology in the lore

> And the female minotaurs should have massive breasts.
N-not exactly what I had in mind but will do
Hopefully she plays something cheerful.

The shitty miniature houses at the start next to the army always bother me
Pretty sure those are supposed to be graves, the bits on top are the stones that they usually leave on them.
Whats the source for the art? Its cute
Pretty sure it is @hou_jae04
I keep mistaking them for HellonEarthIII
now we're talking, furry bros
Fantasy games always steal from classical mythology, theres actually very little 100% medieval inspired stuff. What really woild set it apart would be classic age weapons and architecture, aspis shields, short swords and a ton of spears to go around.
Greek and Persian monsters are much more villanous than just creatures too, they were evil as frick and went out of their way to trick, seduce, ambush and subvert human civilization. They raprd, tortured and ate humans for fun.
I need a fantasy game about cute warrior women
I just want more games to do actual history outside of map painters.
The only bronze age fantasy game I remember playing is Tyranny.
Glory of Heracles?
>weird monsters
They’re called Gauls
What would the playable races be?
why would you want to play anything other than roman, anon?
roman, gr*ek, berber/other african homies, gaul, egyptian
I assume the judeans are non playable then
they are an evil mook race, eternal slaves to Moloch, the final boss
Berber game never ever
If you beat the game you unlock the evil race of persians

They were going to ruin it by setting the next few seasons in Jerusalem and make it about israelite independence.

Man even the rome threads on Ganker are better than Ganker. Why are all the off-topic threads the best ones on *every* board?

i was working on a top down roman soulslike where you play as a legionary fighting in gaul. it was shit though, so i scrapped the project.
https://vita-brevis.itch.io/roman-rpg
Looks like prime autism kino, anon. Very sovlful screenshots
many thanks anon!
my new project has a fantasy Iron Age setting and you can play as a Roman-esque dude.
https://vita-brevis.itch.io/the-great-ordeal
That looks pretty cool. What's so shit about it?
SOVL OVERDOSE
aw thanks anons
i was having a lot of issues making the soulslike combat feel good with a top-down perspective. (i guess no rest for the wicked pulled this off successfully, but i just lost interest in trying to do it myself.) also i kind of lost the plot about what kind of story i wanted to tell with it
the new game (the great ordeal) doesn't have those problems though, and i'm going full bore trying to make it as good as possible. currently super jank but it'll get there in time
your stuff looks fun. that screenshot reminds me of M&B warband.

Very Karl pilkington delivery
Expeditions Rome
I gave up on the franchise after Conquistador's historical revisionism. That Black person Cleopatra is proving that to be the right decision.
>that Black person cleopatra
What mind moronation is this? That's a perfectly achievable skin for a greek living in a sunny climate like egypt
It has very distinctly not subsaharian skin nor facial features
nta but tanned skin was a sign of a pleb or a slave. I have played through E:R and liked it a lot but pozzed shit is still very noticeable.
By egyptian standards that's not particularly tanned
And there's a difference between "they got the tan wrong", and "she's a Black person now". You know it, I know it, you are grasping at straws to make it political
Also look at those fricking breasts
Cleopatra wasn’t Egyptian though, she was a pure bred Macedonian Greek of the house of Ptolemy.
>Cleopatra wasn’t Egyptian though
Didn't say she was, I am specifically saying that under that sun that isn't a slave tan, it is very very mild
wasn’t Egyptian though
She was. She just wasn't Afro-Asiatic. You don't get much more Egyptian than being the queen of fricking Egypt.
He clearly meant ethnically moron
Except that's not how those people defined their ethnicity or cultures. Ritual and position mattered, not blood.
You are importing post-industrial ideologies into periods where they did not exist.
That's absolutely irrelevant and just shows you are not understanding anyone's point in the conversation
>Except that's not how those people defined their ethnicity or cultures.
yes it absolutely did. just read some of the writings from philosophers of the time. They specifically mention race as Roman, Greek, Persian, Egyptian, etc.. not white, black, and brown
>pure bred
In more ways than one.
The shitskins populating Egypt and Northern Africa aren't the same people who lived there 2000-3000 years ago lmao.
Yes, in the mid 1st millennia AD, North Africa was home to the Vandal kingdoms. Population migration is a b***h, it is one of the main reasons why cultural identity is as much reconstructed as it is inherited.
He was the Baron Harkonnen in the mini series, did a great job.
That is irrelevant, cleopatra wasn't even egyptian
Way to miss the fricking point
But since you decided to go down this road, yeah, 2 pharaos with light hair doesn't mean they were all aryan ubermensch
actual brain rot. ER is great
If you don’t like historical revisionism you won’t like Rome since Julius Caesar dies at the beginning and you basically take over his life
That scene made me kek. The first act was peak in other ways too.
the whole game was kino. Sure, the 3rd act was a bit shorter on content than the other 3, but it was still an amazing experience, and leagues better than most """""""rpgs""""""" nowadays. I wish I could erase this game from my memories and play it again.
Be honest with me, rome-anons, did you die with honour, or did you manage to persevere without abusing achileas' spear cheese?
It's a quality game through and through for sure. I think that I missed the spear and did some moronic leveling up but eh, still had fun
I udnerstand why they did that, but also was bummed because I liked what little we saw of him
>chuuni nerd getting bullied by legionari chads
he could have been my little brother
looks Greek to me
Big chemical balls
the whole point of the expeditions games is to play however you want to play it
you can be a treehugger hippie who holds hands with everyone or you can genocide everything that moves
That's not however you want, that's a choice between a moronic apologist or evil for its own sake.
Eh, no, expeditions rome isn't like that at all. the choices aren't comically evil or moronicly good, they are all reasonable choices that can be argued for or against. it's why the game is leagues above many other crpgs
The main party in this game was pretty gay. I would have rather played as lurco and his team of gigachads
here's our (you). don't spend it all at once
I killed her.
Kek, I did too on my first run to much chagrin of anons on /crpgg/. Admittedly I just wanted to see how that would end. When I do another playthrough i'm gonna keep her alive.
I did not enjoy this game that much. I'd say it's 7/10
Difficulty is too low, even on high settings I'm running around 1shotting everyone turn 1 with Bestia and Achilles spear
Story: Caesar's actual life was much more interesting than this game. The actual invasion of gaul gets replaced with a shitty 9/11 metaphor. They don't even really explore Rome's different societal values. However, it did feature tomboy romance and I got to frick Cleopatra so at least it wasn't being all subversive.
>Bestia and Achilles spear
>use cheese
>wtf why is everything easy?
congrats, you've played yourself
That's a fair point, but I'm more annoyed that they chose to cover the life of the most interesting person in history and changed so many details that it was no longer compelling
I thought it was very compelling precisely because it was not strictly about caesar but about (you), framed well, and developed throughout the game. But that's just me. As for the supposed 9/11 metaphor, that's unironically just your american brainrot talking. Not everything is about you. Falseflagging wasn't invented by americans and was no doubt used throughout history; and let's not even get into the implication that 9/11 was an inside job, this is neither the time nor place.
>Difficulty is too low
get back to me when you beat the ambush without using the achilleas assassin cheese
I never bothered to finish the game, I think I stopped after getting most of Gaul. Drags on for too long.

Age of Decadence
What's the setting? I thought it was post apoc, and now you're saying it's rome?
It's a post apocalyptic roman empire.
how does that work? like in new vegas, or is it alternate history when the world ended in the early 1 milleium, or the roman empire persevered till 20th century?
It's isn't actually Rome, but it's a fantasy equivalent. The Empire collapsed after a magic explosion turned most of their territory into a wasteland but most of the institutions still exist.
I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but Rome collapsed (in the West)
Been waiting for a reason to finally buy it.
It's a decent enough game but until you've got bonuses from completing a full game stay the frick away from anything that offers more than the mandatory combat because you will get slaughtered.
This game is very rage inducing. Seriously, I have a ptsd from the blocking sound
>full defensive stance

That graduate school itch never goes away. It's also a complete waste of time and money.
I have no doubt about either claim. It's especially absurd in the information age when I have free access to all the materials and lectures I could ever need or want.

Did the U just not exist in Latin?
no
The opposite, V didn't exist, they wrote U as V and all latin words that are written with a V today actually was U, which however was read more like a w (not like "oo", more more like "wu"). So "victoria" was actually uictoria, read as wictoria, written as VICTORIA.
Ooooh, now it makes sense why i thought Vale and Salve were pronounced weirdly in ER
They also say Roma Inwicta a lot
I wonder if the Pontius Pilate gag in Life of Brian was based on that
How they lose it all? Just hold and consolidate territory.
>Just hold and consolidate territory.
Easier said than done, those borders are too wide to defend
>How they lose it all?
Civil wars, mismanagement, moronic emperors, and being outnumbered by the invaders
Rapefugees fleeing from the Huns did them in
How did they manage to hold it for as long as it did?
Communication was slow as frick, travel even slower. Average life span of the free man was what, 50 years old? Gods existed in those days so there was no cost of dying in battle since everybody knew there was an afterlife. Imagine being someone ambitious living somewhere so far away from Rome that you'll never visit it in your lifetime. It's amazing they could grow and keep the empire as big as it was for as long as they could.
A lot of the places they garrisoned were in the middle of nowhere.
from my limited understanding every major colony was basically its own vassal state. Its easier to comprehend if you see it as governors ruling their own petty fiefdoms while sending taxes back to rome.
of course it was never that smooth due to rebellion/corruption/batshit insane politics but you get the idea
By sending out governors who were deeply entwined with Roman politics to run everything on their own and serve as a link between the region and Rome. The biggest hurdle in the modern world with direct empire building is dealing with the nationalism of the current inhabitants. That simply didn't exist in most places back then and where it did you could just genocide them into compliance.
Also, most people died when they were either very young or very old, not that many were dropping dead at 50.
nationalism must have been way worse 2000 years ago, just much smaller "nations"

>a bunch of emperors being incompetent.
so it all comes back to Caesar. The alpha and the omega of Rome
To be fair it was not only about the emperors but the praetorian guard and other top brass also being corrupt as frick and completely moronic.
Never forget Aurelian.
Simply put, Rome didn't deserve him.
Honorius screwed this up, by being a complete moron.
>all that pink
How big of a chad was Augustus?
not much of a chad. most of those territories were already part of rome
Wrong. Augustus was a gigachad and increased roman lands by 30%
>How they lose it all?
Here's how
Unironically mass immigration.
Cheap labor made common Romans broke and uninvolved or invested in the empire beyond gibs. With nobody willing to sacrifice or do anything just purely for the sake of Rome, all the problems just stacked up.
Plus plagues.
Plus devaluing the currency causing inflation.
>Cheap labor made common Romans broke and uninvolved or invested in the empire beyond gibs. With nobody willing to sacrifice or do anything just purely for the sake of Rome, all the problems just stacked up.
History is just a fricking circle, kek. We never truly learn.
>late Rome
>cheap labor
Jesus frick you morons it was the OPPOSITE
Late Rome was DEPOPULATED. The massive loss of educated people from plagues, wars, low food production and simply bad economic policies made economic growth harder, and those factors making it harder to breed like rabbits meant Romans didnt have a superavit of people to throw around and develop lands, or fill the gargantuan 1-2 million man army it needed to stabilize itself and keep barbarians out. They were only ever let in because they straight up ran out of Romans.
On the other hand, slavery was no longer practical because they couldnt expand and grab them by the hundreds of thousands anymore. Too many slaves were already given citizenship too. That meant Romans couldnt rely on employing the new populations directly to power the economy.
It went down the drain well before then
How big was Roman identity outside Italia?
I can't remember which emperor it was, but pretty much anyone living in a Roman province was granted citizenship sometime in the 2nd century I believe. It helped to solidify Roman identity as something civilizational rather than racial. It also led to tons of non-Italic Roman emperors from places like Syria and Africa.
Caracalla's edict in 212 and no it didnt do that, it actually just eroded Roman identity and made people become more regionalized because the perks of citizenship were watered down but the taxes got higher anyway.
>Dude just repel attacks from all sides with low mobility armies and undergarrisoned borders
The borders were unsustainable and the empire splitting in 3 was already a sign that their infrastructure was failing. Even with Aurelian reuniting it, the Diocletian reforms pretty much accepted that it wasn't feasible to defend all the extents of the empire. Proto cataphracts helped, but it's still too much area to cover.
Corruption
Mass migration
Disease
Technological stagnation

homie, do you see many natural chokepoints? this aint tower defense
Hubris more than anything.
Specifically it was the rome becoming too diverse with all the different people they conquered.

how is rome total war remastered?
Is it compatible with the classic mods?
No but has its own modding scene.
Last I played it still had a lot of the old bugs though like sometimes your units will just refuse to use a siege tower that is connected to an enemy wall, stuff like that still persists.
they are slowly porting mods for the OG to the remastered
And what of good Solonius?

i want to play as WRE in attila but i heard it's the most difficult campaign in the entire series. is it worth the purchase?
I'm a total war noob but I've been having fun as WRE, maybe I'll get my ass kicked later but so far I've reconquered much of the West and have even taken Germania and beyond.
It's not hard at all, you just have to come to terms with that you'll lose some territory. You can easily consolidate your shit in Italy and Spain while using the rest of your territory as speed bumps for the enemy.
On normal you can easily hold on to the province of Africa and half of Gaul too. When the Huns come you can just fortify one or 2 armies on the coastal pass in Venetia and bottle up their entire force. They can't do shit and will raid Illyria forever.
just keep the barbarians away from your sea and you'll be fine. Hold onto southern france, spain, italy, and north africa.

Is it worth a playthrough?
Honestly yeah it's pretty short and the graphics and how the characters look are all good. It's really QTE heavy because it was a launch (or near?) Xbone game, but it's worth playing for the visuals alone.
oh yeah... i member this. at the launch i thought it looked like a bad game but today i guess i would appreciate how non-woke it was. at least that's what i assume since it was 11 years ago, i don't remember much of the trailers now and i never actually played it myself.
seems pretty based jumping through it a little
It's cool. You can beat the whole thing in under 6 hours even on the harder difficulties.
is there a point with harder difficulties if it's all just quick time events?
I think playing it on the 2nd highest made it the most fun because it lets you actually use some of the mechanics.
Yes especially since it will occasionally go on sale for like $1
Pic related takes place in Rome right? I heard its pretty good
Holy Roman Empire. not the same thing
Pope (the guy literally in the city of rome) said its a real roman empire, so clearly it is. Who do you think you are to disagree?
The only Romans in that period were the Eastern Roman Empire or "Byzantines" (western cope name because they don't want to admit it)
The Pope has no legitimacy and no right to call anyone Roman.
The western empire fell to the Germans, if you want to claim ownership because the occupiers made claims, then the Ottomans were also Roman.
Look the monarch in charge of the city of Rome said the Holy Roman empire is legit. I for one choose to trust the experts rather than some french shitposter. Simple as
Rome ceased to be the capital for centuries, there is no legitimacy.
I.. hmm, you got me there
Constantine moved the capitol to Constantinople, the Pope had no legitimacy.
Pope is a gay. Christianity killed real Rome
Wrong. It saved it.
True.
Judaism/Christianity was the first real mindvirus
true.
Your understanding of Rome itself comes from Christian historians and artists you dumb Black person as does your ability to comprehend that knowledge for free.
No it fricking doesn't, we have Roman historian accounts, disingenuous christcuck.
Go worship your israeli fairy tales somewhere else.
Without Christian monetaries those historical accounts would have been torched by illiterate Germans. The only reason you know anything about (and so much about) the world of ancient Greece and Rome is thanks to Catholic archival.
And that has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
I'm sure the Benedictine artists slaving away to preserve fragile text and ink over a thousand years in Christ's name would agree, stupid bug IQ Black person.
>christian monks saved your history
>it has nothing to do with religion
Can you tell me the name of a non-christian group which spent centuries preserving Roman and Greek knowledge?
>Can you tell me the name of a non-christian group which spent centuries preserving Roman and Greek knowledge?
Rome and Greece
Those aren't groups historylet. You maye be shocked to learn those regions were ruled by Christians.
The Germans were also christian, dumb jude-christcucks
That's my point?

all you asked was to name a group. that's what i did.
>spend centuries burning books, destroying knowledge
>eventually decide to stop doing that
>SEE, WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS
its no different from muslims saying they preserved historical texts when they only started doing that after burning them down for centuries
That is factually wrong, anon, see
It was a mixed bag. It essentially made another corrupt senatorial class but Rome was already circling the drain by then and the good it did was preserving classical texts, history, etc and conversion of barbarians which minimized the damage to Rome and eventually led to those barbarians trying to emulate Rome. There was short term bad, but more long term good that came from it, and therefore I think it was better that Christianity grew.
Better than sand Black folk squatting on the ruins like with Constantinople anyway

Perhaps the Esquiline Hill, or maybe the Caelian.
Thats just places in Rome again
OH Thanks. Need to check that out.
true romen bread, for true roman men
This game is kind of jank and repetitive, but the gameplay is really fun.
Me irl
>you will not insult the israeliterinos mm'kay???
No wonder they immediately collapsed the moment they adopted christisraelitery.
APOLOGIZE
Shame he tried to be a based chad and actually lead his army into battle rather than pragmatically overseeing the battle from somewhere its safe like a smart (if cynical) general
There's nothing cynical about leading from the back. Strategy and tactics are not served by having the one giving orders fighting for his life while doing so.
No.
Please?
No.
Go build the third temple in hell, israelite apologist.
Sorry, in "Pluto".
ZLMAO THIS homie WORSHIPS TREES!
Hey rabbi! Deus gevalt and all that am I right?
Roman reactions to early Christians are pretty hilarious.
>UMM hercules is a way better god than jesus
>UMM why didn't jesus just come down from the cross and kill everyone there like a proper god?
>UMM jesus practiced egyptian snake magic, that's how he was able to fool so many people
He's not a N*rd, he's a falseflagging J*w.
<crisis of the 3rd century exists
>adopted Christianity in 315
>collapsed 476
Can you pagan morons not lie for one minute?
>adopted Christianity in 315
false. some were christian at that time, it was not mandated though. most were still Roman Polytheists.
>false. some were christian at that time, it was not mandated though. most were still Roman Polytheists.
It was legalized in 315, a sizable percentage of the Empire's population was Christian prior to that point though.
Of course you israelites would seethe about Roman Bvlls
Any good games with the Roman aesthetic that have graphics similar to isometric style but isn't tied to RTS gameplay?
Alright plebs, get rolling
can have a cute catamite bf instead?
You are the catamite.
works for me

I wish Centuriichan wealth enough to let them continue to make comfy art like this.
Let us see what Miss Fortuna has in store for Rome me.

i'd recommend it

Just me that get a feeling of dread thinking of just how inconsequential we are. All the bullshit going on in current day politics is such a big part of our lives but in 50 years people may barely recall it. Zoom out 200 years and USA was of barely any importance at all. How painful it is to not know how different things will be in just another 200 years...
great reason to stop caring so much about those things, you are literally just a spectator. also, clean your fricking room
maybe the reason Rome fell was because people started thinking like you
>you are supposed to seethe and mald all day about things you have no control over, because if you get angry enough then you can change the world with your butthurt
yeah it doesn't work that way. if a building collapses in your direction are you going to move out of the way or just stand there staring at it?
maybe the building collapsed due to your chinese "not my problem" mindset?
i don't have a "not my problem mindset" the real issue is that you are oversimplifying my point to fit your own argument better.
my point was that you have to pay attention to the fire burning behind you *before* it reaches you. you're the one not realizing that you could be inside that building collapsing, you won't be just a spectator when *it* happens (whatever it is). you don't decide whether to stand still or get out of the way, you are in the building and can maintain it. so pay attention to what is happening in your life time, you can affect so much more than you think. none of this "what's the point, other people will just decide the fate of the world anyway" mindset.
>can maintain it.
you're busy waxing the floors meanwhile a group of israelites just detonated TNT on your foundations
so fix the problem if you're so sure. yes that would mean exactly what you think it means IF you are so sure there's someone with TNT in the basement. instead you just surrender and play vidya, thinking that you can't possibly do anything. i mean damn, even talking about it is actually doing some resemblance of something instead of just going to bed waiting for the world to end. like, sculpt something beautiful on a pillar of your home if you want people to think it's worth preserving.
Black person, israelites just blew the cornerstones off your building and you're sitting here trying to explain why i should invest more time into maintaining the wallpaper. get out of the building
as usual you won't do shit, just complain about the all mighty boogeyman that controls the world yet somehow allows you and your friends to shit talk them 24/7 online without disappearing you in the middle of the night. life is just to comfy to care and having any attitude other than "not my problem" would not be comfy.
keep licking Black person shoes that's all you'll actually be remembered for
cause nazis put the man on the moon
I think it's cool to be living in a time of great advancement in art and digital preservation. Like if you make a game today, it's very likely that SOMEONE will play it 200 years from now. And someone will play it 1000 years from now, and 2000 years from now. As long as we don't lose all technology and plunge into a new dark age. People will be coming back to a game like Super Metroid for centuries out of sheer curiosity.
>preservation
if for some reason the internet stops being a thing, all that "preservation" is gone and we'll have absolutely nothing left because we stopped printing books and made everything digital 20 years ago
i wouldn't call it "very likely". unless you make a hit the year it was released it's "unlikely" but that's better than before when it was "impossible". imagine someone re-saving your indie game for 2000 years and then someone picking up your game after 2000 years of millions of people making games. it's not impossible but it is unlikely.
Anon, the incompetent twats in the vidya industry maange to constantly lose the code for their own games. Combine that with deliberate attempts by the usual suspects to revise, if not outright destroy older games by making original versions unavailable on modern consoles and I think it's safe to say, that the majority of vidya will be lost in 50 years, if not sooner
The odds of that happening are about as likely as your clay vase surviving 2000 years and ending up in a museum. Probably even lower since unlike pottery, your game turns into a random string of nonsense data unless someone bothers to port it to every new technical system for thousands of years worth of progress.
dumbest post ever, digital media is extremely poor for preservation, virtually none of your culture will persist a century
digital preservation isn't real
if you made a game, it's going to be completely lost in 50 years and even if someone finds a copy it wont be playable on their OS
The absolute state of br*tons.
>silky smooth briton waifus
>but also the tribe's bycicle every single one of them
damn
>wimmens have less rights collectively
>no room for matriarchy or femoid worship when all the boys have had a piece of Bootyca
probably not as bad as you think it is
>free license to sleep around and get knocked up by your favorite guy
>can make your husband raise it like his own without question
Undoubtedly a system dreamed up by women. At least if you're sharing between family you're getting some of your genes passed down.
sure chad can knock her up, but what's stopping brad, thad, lad, quaad, mad, and vlad? everyone means everyone
>husband
surely you've missed the point of this system
>share their wives
>father and son
>Groups of ten or twelve men share their wives in common, particularly between brothers or father and son
How did Italian fascism fail compared to the success of the Roman Empire?
they didnt larp hard enough
no slaves is the first thing that comes to mind
modern italians aren't romans. The are ottoman, goth and hun rape babies
Why do you chuds always try to whitewash history, they where always olive skinned pastaBlack folk
you're thinking of greeks
it's not about the skin Black person
it's about the factual Black person admixture
it wasn't there in 1 AD
Because ancient Romans were described as whites and usually light brown, blonde or even red haired in every account, while modern italians can't be called whites by any stretch of imagination. They are slightly lighter than indians, and no one counts indians as whites.
Modern italians have much more nordic blood than back then, they were invaded by goths, lombards, normans in the south, etc etc.
> and usually
Big fricking lie being told here, we have the accounts of specific emperors having specific colors (all found in modern italy too btw), but no such thing as "usually light"
If they had any nordic blood they wouldn't be so dark, would they? Modern italians are basically not europeans. They are north african.
I know you are baiting and the resident anti italian schizoposter but you should know several shades of pygmentation, eye color, and ethnicities are present in the modern nation of italy and all form part of what is considered to be italian. This includes people with german blood and people with more african blood.
Bohoo homie, NAFRIS has more claim for Rome than the piss and shit fetishit germanics
The ottomans never held territory in italy, where does this meme come from?
Open some history books, Italy was under arab/ottoman rule longer than it was under Rome lol
Ave
damn, they really did monica's hair dirty in this one
Manu ad ferrum
Historically speaking, was it actually possible to get this fat back then? I thought everyone back then had numerous intestinal parasites, worked long hours, and all had shit diets.
There were Roman elites who were so fat they could barely walk. And no, peasants did not work longer hours than modern plebs
>It's a "try and fail to civilize B*rb*rians" episode
>the empire is literally already collapsing in front of your eyes
>thinks it wasn't already over 100 years ago before his life even began
>thinks he can save the empire by seething in the forums all day
>Ave Caeser scor som fukin goals
>’ate romans
>luv sharing me wife with 10 other men and me son
Simple as.
I miss rome posting. /twg/ used to be my comfy rome posting place before it got infested with Warhammer garbage. This thread was nice
Better times they were and never will be again
Indeed ;_;7
Is there any good arpg where I can walk around the streets of Rome?
Imagine the cute feminine penis
I like to personally like to thank Yuri Romaboos for keeping the dream alive
Why did they betray their wolf mommy?
Degradation of taste over time.
They didn't, even to this day it's the symbol of the city
They didn't, the Lupa is still the symbol of the AS Roma football team and that's what matters. Images and icons of her are at every corner of Rome.
>to this day
Modern italians have as much genetic relationship to ancient Romans as modern british people do
That's absolutely irrelevant to the argument being discussed
The symbol never stopped being in use, and the fact you bring genetics into this is an indication of seethe
have a nice day.
Any cozy Roman games about building a military camp and maybe later into a garrison town?
NO TWITCH prostituteS, TROONS, AND UNCLEAN YOUTUBERS MAY ATTEND
>Rome total war
>”LEGIONARY COHORT!”
my ancestors
these romans are crazy
How do I learn more about Rome?
Mary Beard’s book/documentaries are spot on
Games where you get usurped by "backwards barbarians" and they generate more human advancement than the entire rest of humanity combined is as little as 1500 years?
nothing happened in that region before renaissance
which again
happened in florence
Florence is in North Italy lmao. Everyone there was mixed with Germanics always.
and why did it not happen in actual germanic area of germany kek
>happened in florence
Which is highlighted in the map.
This thread reminded me that I need to watch Rome. Thanks fellas.
that's an aglo-saxon face if i've ever seen one.
