Please Make New Rome Game

[Emre Yigit]

It would be fun to see a Paradox game without ANY warfare. War might exist, but you cannot take part directly. You head a nation, and if war breaks out, you care for the financing and the supplies and the public opinion and revolts and shortages and production, but the war happens "by itself", aka the outcome is calculated by taking in factors such as technology, army reforms, manpower, supply, wealth, familiarity with the terrain, distance, etc.

It would be interesting to me because then Paradox would have to come up with peace-time/peaceful content, without having warfare overshadow the game so much that most design and programming resources go into that. If your main focus is administrative and diplomatic and organizational, then there would have to be massive content for that.

Now that would be a fine game! But Paradox is still (four iterations down the road) linking the taking of loans to inflation. (My avatar-name has been the same for a long while!) So while I like their games very much, I think they'd need to set up a complete new sub-division to get that game rolling.

Quote this if you want "GTA: Rome".

I'm envisioning stealing a chariot from the Circus Maximus and running down plebs in the streets.

But then the correct name should be "GTC: Rome" (Grand Theft Chariot)

Greeks impact on the world is mostly due to their influence on Rome. We could say Greece was the teacher of Rome, but Rome was the student who surpassed the teacher. It was Rome who spread civilization, architecture, engineering revolutions and art in most of Europe and the powers that dominated the world during the medieval time like England, Spain and France were just barbarians clans before Rome conquered them. The downfall of Greece was their inability to unite as a civilization, city states were always fighting each others.

But I agree all of Rome did wouldn't have been possible without Greece influence in the first place, so Greece is up there too.

I think you confused greeks with Carthage

I guess Paradox is one of if not the only legit strategy game maker with any integrity left on the market. Would you please please make a Republican Era Rome game based on your CK and EU franchises? Where you have characters but a also empire building stuff. Assigning governorships, politics, building infrastructure, intrigue etc. I would bet there is more information on the classical era than the medieval era. It's so much more interesting than the middle ages. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the games you make. You're one of the only companies that actually make games that require thought and strategy. I'm sure a lot of others would like this also.

All in all it's pretty much the same thing, romans are just greeks of Italy. But greeks did have a huge influence on the Eastern world too, on Egypt, North Africa, Persia and so on and so forth. So actually you'd have Rome which are pretty much just greeks who civilized most of Europe, and Greece that greek-ized (well you can't say Arabia, Persia and Egypt were barbarians ) the Eastern world.

Rome basically enslaved the Greek world and made them their teachers, actors, speakers, architects. One thing the Romans introduced: law and order. And it was this that conquered, not that greek element of their society.
