    Default Re: Augustan Reforms Question (I read the FAQ)

    Mediolanicus, thank you very much, after searching there I got it and know how to manually mod it.

    For the more off-topic questions:

    No I don't cheat, I don't want to, I don't need to and don't know them. I really dont like cheats and I know myself, if I knew all cheats I would over use them in battles which I don't want to bother myself.

    About the speed,

    It may be true about the roleplaying, but everytime I intend to play with honour, the mindless AI attacks the superior me and then all hell breaks loose, I usually have one of my great generals with a fullstack "perfect" army sent to that faction (or more, depends on the factions power) and wipe out the faction entirely, they wont accept ceasefires or protectorates. I mainly depend on strong Italian fullstack armies sent to a specific area under command of an able or skilled family member.

    The most important reason I play this fast is my traumatic experience of Egypt

    Egypt was my first campaign in a totalwar game ever, it was all nice and new, but to a certain moment. I owned Africa, Egypt, Asia Minor, the middle east, Caucasus and provinces to the northeast of the black sea. My big border cities were Chersonesos on the Crimea and Tanais near the Azov sea.

    All the remaining world was conquered by the Julii and the Brutii (I kicked the Scipii out of Africa already). As the Julii headed for the northwestern part of the world, the brutii did head for the east. At Tanais, I decided to head my faction leaders army to campus scythii (around EB Olbia). I encountered 3 fullstack early legionary/legionary armies, I did beat one, I did beat two, I beat them all, but my army was small now, and two new armies came, I headed back to Tanais to retrain. Then I attacked them again, but again new fullstack armies arrived. This process repeated endlessly, the fields were littered with sites of famous battles. After killing around 50 full stack armies (no joking) I sent out a supporting army of the new faction leader (old one died during the process). Also two armies were dispatched to Greece to destroy their "fullstack legionary factories". After I finally captured campus Getae and Scythii and the capture of Greece, things went more well. I did finish the campaign but fighting mindless legionaries streams I could say I received the trait "battleweary" myself

    After that I played an extremely fast brutii campaign and then quit the game for a while, tired of the endless, autoresolve cant and i dont want to bother battles. After a while i started playing RTR and MTW2 and kingdoms, finally I stumbled upon EB which i still like at the moment, but now I always tend to fight fast like a blitzkrieg, remembering the Egyptian endless war.

    I have a lot of pictures of my old Epeiros campaign and my current Romani campaign which I could upload and show what I did. But then I should work with imagehosting websites, and Im not too experienced with that.

    Anyway thanks for everybodys feedback!

    P.S. Difficulty setting VH/M or VH/VH. dont remember, started long ago, i tend to play hardest, but i dont remember if i listened to the FAQ advice.
