In the next few days I will be opening a new rp called Earth Rome. This will be set Two hundred years before Christ. This thread is mainly to enquire general interest and possible candidates for factions. Though the factions featuring in the rp will not be completely historically accurate, I believe the spirit of the game and a new way of rp’ing will give each player a better view of the ancient world.
I’m going to post the introduction just to get you guys interested, along with the factions available.
The rp will feature historical events, characters and random happenings to keep interest and the flavour of the thread alive. I will also have a campaign map, and a key with detailed unit descriptions of the time for those with limited knowledge of Ancient Rome, I can’t guarantee its all correct, but it is in the case of this Rp.
I am looking for two very good rp’rs to play as Carthage and the Greek States. There is still one roman house left open, which is the Brutii.
Well here is the introduction and faction list.
Earth: Rome.
The year is 200bc, and the classical period is at its height. Alexanders Empire in the East has crumbled into a war of successor states, led by the families of his most able lieutenants. Europe is a dark continent, far from the light of "civilisation" preached by the Greeks, Egyptians and Carthaginians, except for one small city state. Rome. Not yet at the height its power, the Rome of this period was involved in the long, bloody conquest of Carthage. the three Punic wars. Still regarded as Barbarians by the Greeks, the Romans of this time are not invincible. Still, one should not underestimate their deep set determination in any war that they embark on.
The Greeks of Hellene still squabble amongst each other, and now exist as a most loose connection of city states in a fragile Hellenic alliance. Again further to the East, Seleucia and Egypt, the two most powerful of Alexanders Kingdoms fight amongst each other, attempting to reforge the Empire. Parthia, even further, is a distant land, and one the Seleucids have their eye on, when the time is right.
In Sicily, Carthage, Rome and Syracuse all share the same small space, and it is only so long until one summons the courage to take the strategic isle for their own.
The isolated continent of Europe is also divided, between the many tribes of the Gauls and Germans, and even further to the North, on the windswept isle of Britain, fearsome barbarians war with each other. Though Rome is the only civilised empire with the ability to reach out and touch the barbarians in Gaul and Germania, it would not be an easy struggle.
Diplomatically speaking, alliances, counter alliances, and diplomatic backstabbing are commonplace. Each Empire has its own agenda, and is not afraid to use every trick in the book to advance it. Half-truths and assassination are the language each ruler must be familiar with.
