So far have played a Julii short and long campaign and am playing a Parthian short campaign though I have left a sole Selucid region alive to avoid the game ending so that I can carry on. Some questions that I have not really been able to get an answer to - hope people can help.
In the screen showing settlement details (public order good and bad etc) some items are flashing. Does anyone know why?
How important is the General? If 2 armies of the same type, composition and size met, how much difference does the general make? Same with Governors. It seems quite a management load to watch each individuals traits, retinues and make sure they move around, get the right experience, avoid bad traits etc. Is this really so necessary? Do you really give yoruself a hard time by just forgetting this.
Can the campaign criteria be changed so that you do not have to keep a region alive to avoid the game ending?
How do people manage the cash - I find that I keep running short unless I resort to underhand methods. As Julii one method I found was to not train my own soldiers but to just bribe the other Roman factions - I got them cheap and it stopped them from expanding too much. I invest in economic buildings but still need to sell maps like a door to door salesman - there is no doubt I am ripping off the AI! This just seems so - unnecessary. Or is it?
Thanks for any help people can give.
