I got my first ever triumph yesterday *initiates a series of pelvic thrusts*in the 262 bc against the old Carthies. This made me wonder what was the fastest ever triumph anyone obtained.
What's your earliest ever Triumph?

I suck, and have never had a Triumph. Ever.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
Me neither. I was at 172 BC in my last Romani campaign and I played it on H/H, which made the battles a bit more difficult. I always brought an entire legion to the fight (three Velites, three Hastati, three Principes, two Trarii, General and one or two cavalry) so I was never significantly outnumbered.
Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
I can't remember what my earliest ever Triumph was, but I got about 7 of them before 240 B.C. on my 1.0 campaign. Could've gotten more, but I didn't want to get my faction leader (The 16 year old Cotta you get in the beginning of the campaign. I don't know why, but that Cotta always gets very nice traits so I always put him as my faction leader.) to keep going back after I got him about 4 triumphs.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
Triumphs are much more frequent in 1.1 than before, you should try it out. I think I had my earliest with Asina (can't remember the date, but it is one of the starting characters) in 1.1. - and never one before.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
None yet to date...I am at 203BC and I just got my first Imperator trait...! I guess I'll have to go on a bit of a rampage with this guy to trigger the Triumphus...right?

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
It doesn't take a complete rampage, just concentrating all you force against one people through the same general. In mine, all I did was take Lilibeo, Alalia and Karali and defeat a full stack on Sicily.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
I know what a triumph is in Roman historical terms, but
not in the game.
Can someone enlighten me?
What do you get with a triumph (changes, benefits)?
Is this something unique to EB or also possible in vanilla rtw?
Update: Never mind. I found some EB literature just now.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
Hmm.
So after reading the FAQ I'm still not sure why I would want a triumph aside
for its own sake.
The stuff I read teaches you how to attain one, but not really why or what comes with a triumph.
So, here we go again.
Why would you want a triumph? Generals die eventually anyway.
Is there a benefit to the faction?
Is it a cutscene?

It's mostly for roleplaying purposes. You get +3 influence as a result of the triumph, but the general probably already have 10 influence by the time you get it anyhow, mine usually have somewhere close to 10 influence by the time they're offered the triumph.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
No lie, I recieved a triumph in the year 256 against the Kart-Hadast. Pvblivs Cornelivs Svlla was his name. He became Imperator through beating back slaves in Italia, and "Conquerer of Kart-Hadast" or whatever it is after taking all of Sicily and Bocchoris. Of course, we lost Syracusia and took it back in a series of battles, but still it was pretty cool.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
I never recieved a triumph before 1.1 but i recieved it extreamly early, and did it fighting Elethuroi, fight a few stacks, no herioc victorys, took 2 of the northern settlements plus rhegion. Next thing its telling me to return him to rome to celebrate. I dont know for sure but it wasnt more than 4 - 5 years into the game.
Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
I was under the impression that you couldn't get a triumph fighting Eleutheroi, that you would only get a lesser triumph.

Re: What's your earliest ever Triumph?
I half recall getting an "ovation" or something like that for fighting Eleutheroi in EB1.0.
Or maybe I made that up, i can't remember.
If I remember correctly, Marcus Licinius Crassus was denied a Triumph for fighting Spartacus. I think you had to fight "foreigners" outside of Italy to be awarded a Triumph.
