Great news, guys! Celeste Team is the BEST!!!

Will Pen of Herodotus spawn Pigs and Chickens in Capital Cities?
Will Rome get a Floating Warehouse?

 

Hope to be released when the Summer Event starts!

I'm really looking forward to see improved Project Celeste main website. It look awesome...and much,much better-looking than present one ^^.

 

Excellent, nice decisions on the full campaign and warehouse and really great news all around, now looking forward to returning to AoEO when the gates to Rome open. Stay well and safe everyone.

 

after 3 normal civ and 3 pro civ. though it is going to have the super pro tag but it seems not

 

Simply incredible, excellent work, this team keeps on surprising, great news, congratulations

 

This came out of left field, I had no idea this was a possibility or even in the works. This is even more content then we expected and we were already happy now all of these new additions from the smallest chicken to the mightiest hero, it will only make this Roman release x100 better!!

and a big thanks to everyone behind the scenes putting in their own resources, time, effort, hustle and dedication to everything Romans/Aoeo all this wouldn't be possible without you guys!!

 

Totally pumped about starting at level 1. I have always loved the process and am never in a hurry to level up but enjoy building up my civ along the way.

 

<3
The love and commitment you guys have for this game is unreal. Best of luck with development over the next few months!


Or in Trump lingo, Thank you PF2K, very cool!

 

Very nice!

 

I love it! Great news that everyone is safe and i'm excited to see the continued growth of the Roman experience.

 

Realistically most people do not use Advisor units. Normal unit with epic & Legendary gear tend to be better than the Advisor units.

This would mean work for something that will most likely not be used long term, as such it might be better to add an Age III advisor that may be used because Age III is one of the most difficult to select.

Also extremely excited about the Romans.
I am very impressed at the effort put in by your team! Well done! :-D

 

Seeing a vague title like "The Future of the Romans" really had me fearing for the worst. This turned out to be the complete opposite. Wow! So impressed, Celeste team!

 

Dunno about the Pigs and Chickens from the Pen of Herodotus (I hope so!), but I do know Happy Smurf was designing a Roman Grand Warehouse the other day on stream, so I think that's a yes!

 

Can we please have a worthy historical Roman advisor instead of an insignificant Senator Octavius?

Gaius Marius for instance, would be a far more worthy advisor, as well as a storyline quest giver.

 

Who is the artist we are hiring to do this new art?

 

I'm sure there's one or two on lockdown atm.
On second thoughts, he'd (OctaviMarius, not your artist) need a barber, and that probably breaches social distancing rules.

 

You may find it some consolation that we searched high and low before arriving at making him simply a senator.

We knew he was a senator from the file name. But then we discovered he wears a toga that was specifically for senators only.

So then we set to work to find a senator (any senator) who wore a beard. This sent us into a rabbit hole on Roman beards. As if it turns out, there were no senators with beards until around Hadrian, who was the first bearded emperor and brought back the fashion.

Ultimately, we resigned ourselves to this guy simply being a generic senator. It was the will of the gods. But that’s OK, too. It’s AoEO. Not everything is history. Some things are just fun.

 

Personally whenever someone mentions Rome I do not immediately imagine or think of SPQR I think of ICXN a Christian Hellenistic Civilisation. When ever someone one mentions SPQR Rome all I remember is the Germanics conquering Magna Gracia and dressing like Greeks from then on. Neapolis was the colonial Greek city that started Rome, not Capua. It was the Greek philosophers and academics that formed it's foundations and core values. The Etruscans and other entities you have included were Tyrants of similar impact to the Germanics, they squashed what could have been a great city and empire. So I was and still am against the inclusion of the Romans in this game. The Romans did not shine until the Greeks took back control from the reign of Diocletian and they adopted a common faith from Constantine onwards. The early years were flooded by Germanic or Barbarian wars constantly until Magna Gracia caved in. They were only liberated briefly in the 700AD's and then they fell back to Germanic control. The Popes of Rome began as Bishops using the Greek/Byzantine Liturgy with Greek names. Then the list of Popes becomes German controlled and Latin named as they controlled the church. Do I want this history in the game? No! Does playing Romans give me any satisfaction? No! So there is my opinion of the fact that Rome and the Romans are out of place in this game.

 

erm, OK. Diocletian stepped down as Emperor in 305 CE. This map shows the extent of the Romans at their height about 200 years before. If this is not evidence of the Romans shining, then I suppose we aren't going to agree on very much.
