The Roman Expedition (quest based scenario)
Posted: 21 Jun 2021, 16:01
In my latest mission for Empire Earth II you follow the adventures of Julius Caesar as he marched north into barbaric territory. But these northern lands hold many mysteries and it's up to Caesar to decide how to deal with them.
For inspiration I looked at the way quests are designed in Skyrim and tried to create a scenario that feels like you follow a quest with a custom story, exploration and player choice. There are two endings to this mission to add some replay value. Be sure to read the hints for the scenario as it contains some useful info about the mechanics being used in the scenario.
You can play this scenario right now in the The Art of Supremacy expansion by updating to the latest version of the EE2 Unofficial Patch 1.5.

Updates:
- ver. 1.1 - September 2021:
* Added the cooperative mode for 2 players (accessible by the "Create Game" -> "Game Type" -> "Load Saved Game" -> "The Roman Expedition Coop (Calsch03).sav" on Multiplayer Lobby).
* Players can now respond with "1" and "2" in the mission.
* Added the PreventDeletion effect to Leaders to make sure that players won't accidentally delete them and fail the mission.
* Travelers AI now have their population limit set to 0 in order to fix a glitch where players could send merchants to the AI for easy conversion.
* Several minor mission texts improvements.
