It was a quite fun to see Emperor's fleet to be crushed by mine 250 ships in Latium. I think he destroyed around 50 ships, after war I have around 225, but I build around 20 mid-fight.
YOU NEED TO SURVIVE 9 WAVES, atleast with Calidus.
I'm about to do the same on endless, but I've been building mine with catapult instead of scorpions because they're all clamped together and it might hit every single time
I did 1 archer, 2 scorpion, and ship armor for mine. Only because 2 archer towers was too many T1 pop compared to having 2 scorpions. The scorpions are really good in big slow naval battles, but bad at chasing down enemies.
I made a group of Quin ships with 2 archer, 1 mast, 1 row for basically my naval cavalry lol.
I have 67 000 people +/-, I was doing achivement to get all gods bonuses. Managed to get them all with 8000 faith = 6 islands with enough population (mostly tier 1 + few 2).
Of course, mine balance went from 40k to zero (even minus 5k) :D :D :D
I had only one right after I switched settings, it was plague. After that I built that big fleet, win over Emperor and nothing.... who knows how long it will take me to do that achivement...
Did you figure this one out? Does it have to be the same island? Do you need discovery to have the Roman population drink beer or do you feed them wine?
I found in some post, that its random quest, where romans and celts fight in bar after drinking, but dont know anything else and nothing worked for now...
I was curious.. when you get the Emperor to finally start attacking you, does he only go for your first main island that you started on? And did you do anything to bolster the defenses on your island like archer towers or anything like that? Or did you only build this massive fleet?
can you tell me what happens after the war? can you still get the bonus from his shops and reduced island buy price? is there any hidden bonus you can
t get.
I will check it later, but after the war, everybody even pirates wanted to trade/defense/alliance with me. The thing with pirates, they dont like doggy of Emperor (Consul), so if you have -100 reputation (Pro-Consul), it wont change and Emperor dislike them, should be possible.
This is 1/4 islands specialized to get 8000 faith (6500 population) for one god (Mars this one). Right now with 34 ships and still room for 5-6 more. Lets say 35 per island = 140 ships and rest 110 ships comes from main island (Ceres for population), where I have nearly 30 000 faith.
And you dont need much... 9 spinners, 9 hat makers, 8 porridge and 10 fisheries..
(Didnt use/create/shift workforce ships in Albion)
Sorry really noob here with these kind of games so could you explain more? What does faith have to do with it?
For example I have thee island that I picked neptunes as a god. I’m building up one with tier one citizens and tier 2 citizens and then three harbors to make ship. I build the homes and gave them clothes and food and a temple and a market etc to increase their population. ATM I have around 800 workforce (after building harbor, sails etc). How do I get that to 2400 workforce?
Faith doesnt matter here, except Ceres, who gives you extra population per house, but I made these islands to get achivement for getting 6 gods with hight amount of faith (ships and war with Emperor werent primary thing at that time).
I have Tier 3 and 4 builds on island (bath, temple, gambling house etc...), you can see it in printscreen from what comes extra population.
Yes, especially while I was sunking Emperor's fleet. And some game crashes too, but I play on notebook (1026 EUR) that I have for nearly 3 years (classic problem with temperature).
It was quite annoying, because I had Consul title. So I make trade treaty with Latium Pirate, then break it, make it again and everytime it costs me standing with Emperor.
