As the Romani:
- Each fleet consists of four triremes fleet. These are never split up. If I need more naval transport, I build an entire new fleet.
- hardly any expansion in the first 30 or 40 years of the game (combined with VH/VH)
- Extremely limited use of mercenaries: I only take these mercenaries coming from a region that is sufficiently subdued and accultured.
- Not every city is worthy enough to train units for my glorious legions. I guess I conquered half the Balcan, Gaul and the Mediterranean using only Roman forces. By 190BC, almost all my forces are trained from 5 settlements. All my extraordinarii and all cavalry (with the exception of campanici) come from Rome. Arpi and Ariminium are only allowed to train low-level missile units.
- Units may only be recruited if a settlement has the highest level barracks.
- Not a singly city should construct a building that isn't already constructed in Rome.
- Until twenty years ago, only Taras and Segesta were allowed to train local units (i.e. Pezoi Brettioi and Ligurian Infantry). Since Brettioi 'disappointed' me in some (hopeless) fights, Taras may no longer supply troops to my army. When they were allowed to supply meat for the grinder, they had to take the heaviest casualties. I should ban Ligurians and local troops from Massilia once I can miss them for the very same reason...
- A newly conquered region starts with a government lvl 3 or 4. It can only advance to a lower level if (1) the province has fallen into enemy hands and is reconquered, or (2) when there are no more buildings to be constructed.
- My faction leader should have his residence in Rome (where all new governors are being trained), while my faction heir resides in Capua.
