casse is killing my patience!

Hey all, new poster here.

I downloaded EB a few weeks ago after finding I can't play MTW2 due to video problems (even uninstalling/reinstalling didn't work -- all drivers are up to date, too).

Wow! I'm glad I did! I've tinkered with a few different factions -- Romani, Baktria, Makedon, but settled on Cassi for the long haul. Yeah, there's little historical evidence there, but man, what fun.

My strategy for the first 80+ turns was to simply disband my entire army and my one fleet after sending my diplomat to Europe and build up my city. I'd take the family members our for nice weather spins in the countryside so they didn't accrue bad traits (except for the leader, who I left at home).

Then I began my explosion, including heavy use of both native troops and mercs. I took Cornwall then headed up the middle. I have three total cities at the moment with the fourth coming next time I play.

I figure I'll have all of the UK in my hands by turn 120 or so. Then it's to Europe.

Patience is the key.

Used to play VH/VH....when you get used to it its about as easy as M/VH.....the only problem there was that I got bored of fighting Uber stacks every turn...yeah I killed 2 or 3....but my invasion of germany as casse eventually wore down cause of the endless sweboz stacks...and their uber bonuses lol.....thats when the fun just ran out.

Plus, having to make another 2 armies takes a LONG time.... >.>

lol and I didnt even try fighting the romans on VH....played it back in .8 with the gauls....those pedites extraordinarii would just. NOT. DIE!!!!

>< lol


But seriously, M/VH camp. is probably the best...yet a bit easy sometimes.... if you wanna up the challenge try H/VH....thats just about right....you can actually lose at least >.>
