Campaigns completed

I'm just curious as to how many full RTW/BI campaigns (imperial or short) everyone has completed. Please mention who you completed the game as, what campaign type, and on what difficulty level. If you can't remember all your campaigns, just tell of the most memorable ones.


I'm not really all that good, so I have only completed 5 full campaigns:


Brutii (E/E, my first ever campaign, Short)

Julii (H/H, Short)

Greek (VH/VH, Imperial)

Selucuid (VH/VH, Short)

Romano-British (H/H, Short)

I was able to complete the Greek and Selucuid ones on that high of a difficulty level mainly because I am very good at defending cities, and thus could withstand the constant attacks that were sent at them by the Romans or Egyptians (respectively), and after the enemy was exhausted, I could send silver chevroned troops swarming into their lands.

Although I am a huge fan of historical and custom battles on RTW, I do enjoy playing long campaigns, and usually have one running right after another. So far I've completed them as:

(I think in order)

Julii (E/E)

Carthage (E/H)

Gaul (H/H)

Seluc. Emp. (H/E)


I am currently playing another Gaul campaign, this time trying to stay in a historical mode of play. For instance, I rarely use any infantry besides the basic warband, and I am trying to expand realistically.


I have also started campaigns as the Britons, Scipii, Germans, and Egyptians, but didn't finish them.

Hope that answers your question.

For the record, my favorite campaign so far is the one I'm playing now. Doing it realistically (or as much as possible) has its benefits.


HOLD THE LINE,

This is not the complete list, but some of the campaigns I remember.

-Julii E/E short. Not much to say about this one, really. My first one.

-Carthage M/M long. This one was my favorite game for a while, but now that I look back, wasn't all too interesting. Civilizations targeted, in order, were Rome-Numidia-Spain-Gaul-Egypt-Macedon.

-Parthia M/M long. Don't know how I survived the first stages of this one. Once I made it to the Mediterranean I made over 1.5 million denarii, and there were Trade Caravans in Italy. :grin:

-Julii H/M long. My first long Roman campaign. Again, nothing special.

-Egypt H/M long. Easy, but I had some trouble with the sieges later on.

-Macedon H/M long. Probably my first great campaign. Truly epic fights against the Romans (particularly Scipii), trouble with barbarian ambushes, and a strategy that just totally blindsided Egypt (I simultaneously assaulted Alexandria, Memphis, Jerusalem, Antioch, and Cyprus to begin the war, they had no chance after that). Lasted until about 199 BC.

-Scipii H/M long. My current campaign. It's 155 BC with no end in sight, although Rome was just taken. I'm in the fight of my life in Greece, the Alps, and Spain. The Civil War is on, baby!

Hi

Personal campaigns completed:

- Prologue, Julii, Normal scale e/e?

- Imperial, Julii, Large scale, m/m

- Imperial, Brutii, Large scale, h/h

- Imperial, Egypt, Large Scale, vh/vh

- Imperial, Gaul, Large Scale, vh/vh


Campaigns played swapping the save game between players:

- Imperial, Carthage, Large scale m/vh

- Imperial, Carthage, Large scale m/h

- Imperial, Julii, huge scale, m/?

- Imperial, Seleucid,?, m/h

- Imperial, Greece, Huge, vh/vh


Current campaign:

The defense of Germany, huge scale, vh/vh. I defend the initial 5 regions of Germany for as long as I can. Not allowed to send armies outside of Germany.

Quite a few, actually. Two with each Roman faction, one with Carthage, Seleucids and Egypt each. The next one might well be one with an eastern faction, I´m still undecided whether to take Armenia or Pontus. The barbarians don´t hold much appeal to me (too few units), except for Spain, maybe.
In BI I´ve played one campaign with Goths and Western Rome each so far.

all is on normal and large scale

1. Brutii- wanted Greece for money. got lots of early money, and wonders.
2. Greece- to take Rome, Macedon, and fight Seleucids.
3. Seleucid- Elephants, pikes, calvary, perfect.
4. Egypt- wanted to try 2 things. One is chariots, good if you learn how to use them, and the second is to sail to Rome about 10 turns in the game, very difficult and had to quickly take carthage and Sicily to help with the distance from capital problem. No war after that for about 20 years to settle and build, then beat all of Asia and Greece.
5. Carthage- Elephants v. Rome equals lots of fun!

I think ive only completed 2
Julii (E/M/Short) My first campaign
Thrace (M/H/Imperial)

I get bored quickly with Rome, i find the first 100 turns interesting and then it either becomes clear im going to win with no bother or i find myself surrounded by an unbeatable foe(s) (usually rome)
