Whats yo style?

I am finding that I tend to take my time. I will secure my existing provinces before I go on a conquest, as I do not like over extending myself too much.

I also do this to enable the other factions to build up a bit more which makes for more of a challenge for me.

I am currently early into a Greek campaign, and it is winter 267BC. I have not expanded beyond my original territories yet, although Crete is under siege from a small expiditionary force from Sparta, which was all I could spare. So that will be the first province I will have captured. Next I will move onto Helicarnassus and Athens, when I am fully ready.

Aye, multiple fronts do not work well for me. This is why I make sure I decimate my enemy before moving anywhere else.

If I ever do have multiple fronts, I'll do something like this:

I'll have all of North Africa, and I want to make war on Egypt. But I notice that Carthago Nova has rebelled. I can take it without pissing off anyone, so I do. I take that, then go into Egypt. Maybe Spain bitches with me, and we go to war. I use Carthage Nova as my military station for the entire front, and expand from that. It's rare that I'll bother sending troops over by ship. I'll only ship Assassins, Spies, or Generals by boat. I refrain from send extra troops. If I can't hold it using with just that city, I normally don't bother.

And I use watch towers ALL the time. Can't live without them. But it sucks having to ship Generals over to Anitoch from Capua just to build them.

Ah, a slow expander? I am only slow at expanding right after I destroy a faction. Then I go to war with someone else, and my war machine slowly gains momentum. Massive momentum, I might add.

Before the civil war, I tried peacefully taking settlements by using Assassins and Spies to get them to rebel. Then, I would quickly take the city with my nearby army. It worked okay, but I eventually got stuck because none of the other Julii or Brutii cities would revolt. Even with 5% or 0% public order, they wouldn't revolt! So, I got pissed, booted the Brutii off of Italy, and now the Julii have about three family members left. I'm concentrating on the Brutii, as the Julii I can kill off at any time.
