Pointless playing Romani?

use local troops and mercs to create allied armies of different play style, i have a merc phalanx army guarding antioch for instance.

in RTW.exe it might seem pointless since there are 99.99999% of the time no amphibious assaults. and you only have 2 EXTREMELY SMALL borders to hold (the toe and the top of italy) but as most people said, take it one war at at a time, forget about the glory of the roman empire, concentrate on being a small state at the time being, and as you expand change your strategy to match the size of your empire. good foreign policy is the key to a pointful (hehe) SPQR campaign.


speaking of amphibious assaults... the heel of italy in my current campaign (KH) has changed hands several times. this means epiros has launched several ambitious amphibious landings. This ended around 250 BC but for RTW.exe its quite an achievement!

I'm playing as makedonia with ALEX.exe and the luso are making amphibious assaults on the carthies, must be the spirit hand of chirugion guiding them =3
