Haha, this is just a platform for me to crow about myself, but it'll be interesting to see what you people come up with.
For one, I've gotten pretty proficient at drawing maps of the Mediterranean, cos I have about 20 A4 hand-drawn maps of the RTW map, on which provinces and settlements are outlined, and I shade it according to my empire's boundaries, and use it to plan campaigns. Also, a gigantic to-scale map 3 by 2 metres with the same map, this time in greater detail (i.e. rivers, mountains, fords), hand drawn. (I have a pirated RTW, so I don't have that REALLY nice map that comes with the original package ;-P)
I also have five small notebooks chockful of my campaign records, starting from the Macedonian campaign (i.e. my 4th campaign)... now on my 6th, Volume II of the Scythian Chronicles. I faithfully record every unit/building commissioned or completed every turn, as well as my new actions, and I conduct a time-consuming but highly informative census of my empire every 10 turns to check up the status quo :-P
I've also started doing pencil sketches of the different units in the game, starting with the Macedonian pikemen (I have to learn to draw horses before I can start on the Light Lancers)...
Anyone crazier than me about RTW? Post here! Let's share our love of the Beautiful Game. ^_^
