Hi Everyone,
:help:
After losing all my progress when I was Virus'd to death, my new campaign is as the Scipii, and so far I feel I'm doing well, I've taken all of Africa and am on the border to Egypt = front 1
Have taken Rhodes and Hali from Pontus and working up north to surround Brutai Expansion = front 2
Have taken all of Spain and now taking on Britannia to surround the Julii = Front 3.
My armies are costing quite a bit, but my biggest problem is the 3 cities of Lilybaum, messana and syracuse, Oh; and also Carthage. :furious3:
:help:
I have built over most foriegn buildings to avoid the penalty, but am getting riots in all four constantly. Biggest problem is sanitation even though I have all but the last of that line, I've wiped out the city once already in Carthage and Lilybaum but it seems to just shoot right back up!! its driving me nuts as each city is showing a 2000 deficit per go, I dont have any farms and have tried to follow Froggys advice on what to build.
:help:
Also I have 10000 per turn loss to corruption, but I dont have any family in any city as they are all out on the front line, none show the corruption traits, yet I'm getting scammed to death. How can I plug this flood of cash out of my coffers???? :dizzy2:
These 2 issues are really getting to me, as I seem to be constanly brassic, but at this stage I should be rolling in dough. :wall: :wall:
I read about you guys having millions sitting around in your banks, and I'm like some 3 turn Gaul. Its got to a stage that I'm causing riots just to re-take my own cities to make money !!!
Any advice would be appreciated !!
( oh, and how do I get Heavy Cav. thats not part of my family's bodyguards? the Brits Im fighting & the Egyptians seem to have tons of Heavy's and Im stuck with Equites)
Really I have no idea how I've progressed so far. Blind luck I'm sure !!!
