Then your pretty weak. I like to conquer it all! Yea man, you should like, put all your troops in their lands, see what happens, like put a few thousand or more in Rome itself, or by it, see if they get mad after a while & delcare you an outcast or something.
Then march upon Rome, and I think the Civil war should break out, with the other factions wanting to claim Rome for themselves, dunno tho.
I haven't noticed that any of the other faction try to gain Rome. It would make it more interesting though if another faction took it and started the civil before one was ready.
And all by 210 BC.....
So how did you stave off the demands of the Senate? Did you dutifully to all they asked? Did they not ask for rediculous suicides and fines? Curiosity consumes me! :book:
Great!
When I played as Brutii I found I could never keep the outskirt provinces (I set my capital in Athen). Even with my most influential general, the distance to capital + cultural penalty + unrest would set that settlement to revolt right away. :dizzy2: Is there any tip to keep them? ~:)
Impressive... most impressive... but you are not Ceasar yet!!! ~D
*Ringo*
How cool.
I've never completed a campaign and probably never will. They all turn boring after a while, and I have to start a new one. In MTW I completed 1 campaign when I conquered 60% (or was it maybe 66%?) of the provinces, and in STW I finished 1 campaign.
Congratulations!!!
Which difficulty?

oaty,
which faction are you in that screen shot? [just kidding]. i also would like to know how you got around the senate being pissed at ya. in my first game i took the whole map but halfway through, i just had to gut them, i didn't mind them killing my family leaders every other turn, i had plenty of family members, but the fines were getting to me.
Guys play as a different faction instead of the dang Romans! Its much much more fun! ~:) No Senate squabbling at you to do stuff, no other factions, but if you goto war with one Roman family, you've got to take them all on! :embarassed: Lucky for me I've destroyed all but Julii, hehehe ~D
Yeah but Siris, you only play as those faggy Spartans. ~;)
You need to branch out some too and try the Parthians or Armenians where men are real men and ride horses. :charge:
Siris as Britannia.... the final frontier. ~;)
Even funnier- Siris as Spain! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA LOL ROTFLMFAO
1 of the tricks to conquer the east and the west at the same time is a high influence governor. Enslave as you go and with an empire that big only a couple 100 go to each city. Thermyska was the hardest but I had a 8 influence governor for the trick. Of course growth rates are close to 10 percent in all my Northern territories as that is what I conquered last. If you do'nt enslave it will be a struggle to conquer the map. I only exterminated 4 cities. The 3 on the Nile and Corduba. Sinope is my biggest city with 35,000 plebs as I had taken it with 13,000 people in it and they just barly avoided extermination. Temple of juno's in all provinces. I had no intentions for the Iberian peninsula but Spain landed 1500 troops on Palma and when the relief army relieved the siege I did not want to bother taking them back east so they gave Spain a nice warm welcome to the mighty Roman empire.
No annoying missions from the senate and at 1 point the senate barely existed with only 2 members. 2 of my family members had died in a battle on the same turn and 1 of old age and the other 1 that was missing died from another faction as elections only happen every other turn. I never selected my faction heirs but they were always in there 50's when they got appointed. Those 50 year olds have much better retinues and traits to deal with the senate. If you appoint a 20 year old as faction heir and he becomes the leader soon expect bad things from the senate.
And my ranking with the senate is 7 out of 9. Of course the Julii gave me a nasty message saying that I'd just take back the lands I gave to them.
My current mission is to make Briton a protectorate....... yeah right!!!!!!! With only 1 province to go why bother. What to go for Pax Romana or go for it all. As far conquering the rest that will be easy, due to the fact every province has been Romanized by the Scipii and Julii so no culture penalty minus Carhtago Nova and Condate Redonum.
Maybe I'll Romanize all my lands first before I break out hostilities
the downfall of both Napoleon and Hitler...Quote:

I read this thread before I clicked the link to your screenshots. I knew what they screenies were going to look like (roughly) but when I actually saw them it made me laugh. Nerds rule! Haha!
Who needs bows having heavy infantry and heavy cavalry pound each other requires more skill and looks a whole lot cooler! :duel: :charge:

Wow! Reminds me of Asterix... ~:handball:
To have conquered so much land in such a short amount of time.....surely, it is impossible?
I admire your dedication, I wouldn't have been able to focus long enough to conquer the map that quickly...
I notice your treasury has dropped from 929461 Denari to 696989 Denari in three turns ; either you went on a building/bribing spree or thou Koku are deserting thee ~:)

Edit: forgot to say now that the civil war has begun I'm no longer forced to have a low tax rate on all cities, guess they were trying to stop me from being rich
Now time for the real action, and declaring war on the other romans...
