My next game?

[pikeman]

Romaioktonoi AI destroyed by VH/M Roma campaign....what should I try next?
Yes, I'm willing to try playing as barbarians.

[Cute Wolf]

Sweboz! (but it wasn't a barbarian...

[J.R.M]

Carthies.
Just beware the Yellow Death!

[Imperator Invictus]

Greekish Barbarians
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Who are the Greekish Barbarians ????????????????????

Eastern Barbarians (pontus)????????
Pontus were Barbarians?????????


(try to read a bit, son)

[J.R.M]

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?

[Imperator Invictus]

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

[Macilrille]

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]

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

[pikeman]

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

[Mulceber]

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

[Jebivjetar]

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

[J.R.M]

You forgot the posibility to burn Roma, but i dont think Pikeman would like that, soooo..
Hey i got a better idea! Just play as Bartix.

[Jebivjetar]

You forgot the posibility to burn Roma.

No. 5 in my list ;-)

[pikeman]

@ Mulceber

Yeah, I'll have a another go with M/M. VH RTW AI is a Romaioktonoi AI....

@JRM

[J.R.M]

No. 5 in my list ;-)

Daaaamnnn right.

[HunGeneral]

I'd s say Carthage - for the same reasons Jeivjetar mentioned.

[Maion Maroneios]

I'd go for the mighty Karkhedones.

[Apázlinemjó]

Go with Pontus VH/VH, the easiest campaign in EB.

[Cute Wolf]

Go with Pontus VH/VH, the easiest campaign in EB.

and watch mighty Arche panda pwn your FM quite easily

[G. Septimus]

Please do not call "The other" factions Barbarians, they are not, instead, they are civilized, and have their own policy.
and, maybe you'll be banned like Sata for actions further

[Cute Wolf]

no, if Satalexton knows about this, he will storm Japan and drag Pikemen out of his house.... (to got some beer)

[G. Septimus]

no, if Satalexton knows about this, he will storm Japan and drag Pikemen out of his house.... (to got some beer)

absolutely my friend,
or get his officer friends
and, use Carthage for ur next
THEY ARE

[pikeman]

Who the heck is Satalexton? Another Romaioktono-barbarus?

[HunGeneral]

Who the heck is Satalexton? Another Romaioktono-barbarus?

For your information: he is the greatest of all Romaikotnoi and your quite lucky that he decided to retire for some time.

[anubis88]

How can you people go on about hating- or loving romans? Seriusly, how can you hate people that don't exist for 1500 years?

[Skullheadhq]

and your quite lucky that he decided to retire for some time.

lol retired

[artavazd]

Their decendants exist. Their called ITALIANS from Rome. :)

[Duguntz]

Sweboz... there is no other faction worth a good campain... SWEBOZ! and send your warriors to burn Barbaropolis... 3 or 4 times... and about barbarians, you already played with them, and got smaked. why not playing something worth now?

[Maion Maroneios]

Their decendants exist. Their called ITALIANS from Rome. :)

Good one! And we Greeks are direct descendants of the ones that built the Parthenon.

[Unintended BM]

Gauls, Aedui are easier at the start. Those are always fun games. Plus, they probably have the best economy out of all of the barbarian peoples. They get paved roads and stuff. Their elites beat the crap out of just about anything. Crazy naked dudes and heavily armored swordsmen will easily conquer anything in Europe. Their reforms are really easy to get too. Just build a lot of markets and temples, then build up your population growth and expel some big cities, and you can get your best troops pretty quickly.
