My RTW Let's Play - The Julii move to Britannia!

**GoldenToad** · 10-29-2011, 19:03

This started out as a generic Julii campaign, however, after a viewer commented on a video, I have decided to make the move to Britannia. This is my first attempt at a migration campaign, so I would like to invite you to watch me bumble through it.

#1 - In the beginning

#2 - Prior planning prevents...

#3 - Cutting a bloody swathe through Europe

#4 - Silver chevron peasants and Hannibal Barca tactics

Thank you for taking the time to watch them!

Ave, Imperator...
What scares me? [only a little]
1. You're moving too far from your capital a bit fast--don't the Britons become restive and threaten to rebel?
2. You can't train much troops in your conquered settlements--not enough people--so you've to move troops trained near Italy to Britain for reinforcements.
I played Brutii once, captured Carthage, Sparta, Athens, Crete, and Rhodes before the others did [hahaha for that] while the Britons conquered most German settlements (the region of modern North Germany, Denmark, and part of European Russia). Since Julii and me [Brutii] [but not the other Roman factions]were allied to Germania, I captured those north places from the Britons passing through Julii lands [who occupied Gaul] and went on to invade the British island [except Londinum]. The result--Lilybaeum and the two settlements in Britain rise up in rebellion every other summer, and I can't post troops to both garrison these towns and fight in the front lines at the same time. THAT's what I find a bit scary.
Anyway, I find your campaign a high adventure and very entertaining, thank you--my congratulations. Hawooh

All settlements that aren't your capital suffer a 'distance from capital' penalty which lowers public order. I have only expanded upwards at the moment, so it should be a quick capital switch to Alesia and the public order will increase.

As for the troops, I have enough military units up there to accomplish the job, I'm also shipping out peasants from my starting cities to rebuild the population; it seems strange because I enslaved the cities to start off with!

I've got another Julii video coming out today, I just need to redo the commentary - my mic was cutting out badly.

Thank you for your comments :)
