So I’ve been playing Expeditions: Rome for the last few days and...! New oc :) my main character: Faustus Valerius Orpheus. He’s a really good strategist but not much of a fighter; he prefers arts (although he’s already a legatus!) He loves playing the lyre; music runs through his veins. That’s why his cognomen is ‘Orpheus’.

Expedition Rome Minis
So this ask from earlier reminded me that I designed a handful of miniatures based on the heroines from Expeditions: Rome. I don’t recall that I ever shared them, so I thought I’d post them to Tumblr.
Link: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D28054655/
My legate, Agrippina, in full muscled armor, looking like a badass. If I remember, I think I went in and added the eye-patch after she lost her eye in a ritual to appease some Gallic druid.
Link: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D28095993/
Sagittarius Julia Calida smirking before taking aim at Ptolemy’s spearmen. I also appreciate that the game lets Julia wear sensible archer’s chainmail and be thick and brawny like someone who spends a lot of time pulling a bow.
Link: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D28102312/
Next I designed Deianeira, Agrippina’s brawny, Amazon girlfriend. Though I typically give her the muscled armor or Cleopatra’s scale armor, since they’re heavier, I opted to portray her in lorica segmentata since it’s available in Hero Forge.
Link: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D28096579/
Lastly, I also designed a mini to commemorate a particularly epic successful stand where Agrippina and Calida fought off a large band of Roman traitors who ambushed the group in Egypt. The rest of their band fell around them while these two fought back to back against nearly a dozen foes. Still one of my favorite moments from the game so far!

Started a game called Expeditions Rome. It's not bad so far. A turn based strategy game kinda like fire emblem I suppose set in ancient Rome. But man, it's surprisingly a real battery drainer. My steam deck was almost empty from a full charge after just an hour and a half. Ended up switching over to some Mass Effect for the rest of my play session when I saw how much battery was left. I'm surprised Mass Effect Legendary Edition gets me such better battery life, Expeditions Rome doesn't seem like a particularly graphically intense game

Do you think Pompey (and potentially Cassius) had anything to do with Ariamnes' misleading of Crassus?
not really as far as pompey goes, maybe a little bit for cassius! there’s some textual conflict about the role of ariamnes in the expedition & to me it feels a more like it came from a pro-cassius account, potentially from cassius himself, to further cement the narrative that the expedition was doomed every step of the way and to paint cassius’ own role in a positive light, probably in part to justify or absolve him of the fact that cassisus deserted his commander (when he split off from octavius and crassus in plutarch’s account. regardless of whether or not this was planned between the surviving commanders or not, it looks bad, and in plutarch’s narrative, it is desertion, no matter what justifications were given)
#like Cassius is my girl but he fucked up in a couple of places and it hurts my head#there’s also something odd happening in the timeline between Plutarch and Dio and the intention of the expedition/invasion#that feels like an attempt to further overwrite the events to absolve Rome even further of the defeat#like you’re almost making a whole new map where IS this supposed to be!! (the underworld ofc but still)

10 and 25 for rome >:)
oc asks!
10) What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?
rome is part of the group of people who discovered black holes! he's not one to brag about that but he loves talking about black holes in general, and discussing all his other theories. he's a walking encyclopedia in general but especially space facts will get tossed at your head all day if you're not careful
25) What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?
rome's best friend at the academy, morris (red reaperkiller's blorbo), has an angel stuck in his computer and because of that talks about angels a lot. rome would've had a hard time believing him at first since he's a man of science, but rather than becoming a sceptic he always tries to prove things with logic and reason and this situation is no different from that
because of this, he has knowledge with which he can create many devices that could be used to detect the paranormal (since angels and demons and to an extent ghosts too have the same origins in this universe), as well as measure frequencies in the surroundings that can accurately predict an angel warning (kinda like how you can predict extreme weather; angel warnings are stuff like huge flocks of birds that can do a lot of damage, or a light anomaly getting tangled up in electrical cords, etc)
while it's not entirely useless to the universe itself, it IS useless to the direct plot since rome's field of expertise is space and he has entirely different things to worry about, with his sister judah having vanished in space first and foremost, but now also a crew returning from the moon with only three of the original crew members of which two barely function anymore and a cosmonaut from some other mission they saved from certain death from a russian spacecraft in the moon's orbit. he's busy!!!
the technology he could develop would be super handy for some other guys running around in this universe but they're all the way over in louisiana (around rome's hometown actually! but that still doesn't change the fact he is now in the state of washington very very far away with a moon crisis (it's not the moon) (they think it's the moon) (it's all connected to judah's disappearance from many years earlier) (they don't know this) (rome suspects it but wants to be wrong so bad because if he's right that means he will probably never see his sister again) (he's right))
#asks#devilbrakers#ask:rome#oc asks#THANK YOU sorry i went off with the answer for the second one but like it's important. there's so much lore#rome basically theorizes about the existence of the eldritch god leviathan because of reports of astronaut madness#which lines up with earlier reports dating back centuries from sailor's madness during long ocean trips or arctic expeditions#and that research has led him to the empty earth theory which is essentially a mirror earth devoid of human life right next to our dimensio#which is leviathan's domain and is basically where those hallucinations come from#ocean / space / arctic regions are so open and empty and the empty earth would be basically That. but Entirely#judah and her crew went to space to work on the deepspace acceleration the united states is working on (mainly for energy purposes)#but it accidentally sends them straight into the empty earth as like. a failsafe from. the universe?? leviathan?? who knows!!#either way to prevent the universe from literally ripping apart they're sent to the empty earth. and rome suspects that they're there#and he's right. sorry king!

This is interesting on what I found. Roman's expedition further into the Nile river reaching to Nubia and possibly further than that. But the further exploration is still debated.

Army-Camp Management Sim?
So I was fiddling with Expeditions: Rome for the first time in a while, and thinking about how while the legion-management features are interesting, they're also super limited. I mean, you can upgrade the camp, recruit officers and legionaries, tell them where to march to, and give orders in battle, and that's about it. And it got me wondering, what would it be like to make a full army-camp simulator? (Screencaps taken from Expeditions: Rome)
I've seen city-builders that kind of do this with the Romans, but what about playing as a legatus managing a full legion and auxiliaries along the Rhine or the Danube or Hadrian's Wall or the borders with Kush or Parthia? Or being in charge of keeping the peace between Iberian tribes in Roman Spain or between the Egyptians and Greeks in Roman Alexandria? (I can even see Spain as kind of a tutorial campaign while the Rhine and Parthian frontiers are hard-mode.)
Players could be responsible for maintaining troop morale, maintaining and upgrading the camp and local defenses, training soldiers, recruiting officers, procuring equipment and materiel, creating and maintaining supply lines, managing relations with the locals, carrying out the emperor's orders, recruiting local auxiliaries or requesting legionaries from the consul, playing local and imperial politics, assigning troops to missions (patrols, raids, reconnaissance, escort duty, shake-downs, etc), and even drawing in camp-followers (merchants, tradesmen, entertainers, prostitutes).
And it doesn't have to be just the Romans. I can see it working for just about any professional or semi-professional army throughout history. Anyway, that's my thoughts. Feel free to chime in with your own ideas!
