Dont try to change his "A perfect Roman world" view of life, after all if people like him dont exist, who the hell would we "fight" against?

I think you're right J.R.M. those "Greekish and Pontic Barbarians" have their own charm

but better for him to

If he got Pwned as Roma with its fat treasury, what is the chance of succeeding your attempt as Sweboz?

Rome or Carties. Easiest campaigns, already told you that.

**J.R.M** · 05-19-2010, 07:42

Who knows , maybe he just had bad luck (hard with romans, but possible).

**pikeman** · 05-19-2010, 07:43

Well, I don't mind having another go at Roma, this time with M/M instead of VH....

That's probably the best course - set the difficulty down a little bit, and, once you've conquered Italy, spend a good 10 years developing the economy and the infrastructure, rather than just going on to conquer more land. If you're going to conquer everything, you're going to need good infrastructure in Italy. -M

Play Carthage. Advances of Carthage:
1) Secured homelands, no one will attack you there
2) If you really like heavy infantry based armies, Carthage has her own hard core heavies, stronger than Roman ones (but more expensive)
3) Some of the finest cavalries of the known world: Iberian lancers (i call them Iberian cataphracts, they rock) + Sacred band cavalry!
4) Very good economy
5) The Barcids

He could play isolationist for about 40 game years, seeing as the AI factions are at some distance and the foolish Gauls are too occupied with destroying each other. This will give him some time to grab Eleutheroi settlements and learn basic EB economy (and I mean basic, because the Suebi got little else).

Plus, there are several good guides available for this faction. One of which just so happens to be linked in my sig... [/shameless self-promotion].

e: voted for Getai though as they are easier.

**Macilrille** · 05-19-2010, 21:23

I believe the Sweboz are too difficult as well, it will merely put him off EB.

Oh, I started off with KH and Swêboz, both of which are a little tricky at the start. I read some gameplay guides beforehand and never lost a campaign (gave some up though because of boredom, annoyance, CTD, or early strategic mistakes that made the campaign unnecessarily difficult).
