Whatzzzz up, RTW gamers? I love this game too as you do. I'm playing it the second week already. I've read a RTW beginner's guide by froggy (thanks to him very much!) also gamespy RTW strategy guide was also very interesting. I'm currently playing my first campaign as the House of Julii on hard/hard (I was quite experienced on MTW). From the beginning everything went right: I quickly qonquered some 5 Galic settlements (oh how I hate these barbarians!), after enslaving each town (as actually romans did in history!) to boost my home cities' growth. To get more cash I put taxes to very high in my best-producing cities, did quite good diplomacy and spying (gained much profit from it!), assigned governorns with good managment skills and influence in economically strong towns (those generals only with stars were immidiatly sent to the front), built economic buildings first (my building order ruoghly is this: roads, farms, mines barracks, port, trade bldgs, etc.). So I did everything that was written in guides and it really helped me! Cause at the beginning I had much extra money, but the war really tired my economy, because maybe I've produced too many soldiers or maybe I've started war too early? My budget decreased from about 15000 D to nothing and now I've almost got money on each turn to build needed bldgs. Maybe I should maintain the territories and stop qonquering for a bit? I hope my economy will improve in the near future. If anybody has got additional hints, please let me know. Your knowledge is appreciated ROMA VICTA!
P.S. I just love Gladiator movie!
