Athens: Summer. Harvest. War (R2TW succession game)

[Myth]

Great job easytarget! I'm pleased with how this succssion game is going!

I also found out that I am a much more aggressive leader than what seems to be the normal playstyle. I fear no Rome or Carthage or Egypt. In fact, my first job is usually eating up one of those three to get their rich lands. The Adriaei and Pergamon are actually scarier (and Rhodos if it expands) since they spam a lot of armies and tend to keep them packed together.

Carthage has been doing much better after patch 5. Twice now I've seen it wipe the floor with incompetent Rome. I myself would probably dissolve the alliance with Sparta and Knossos, wait for a turn or three and end them in short succession. Outfit my armies, get at least 4 stacks and send 2 to capture Magna Graecia and 2 more to complete Lybia and go for Carthage's throat in Africa.

I would also use a lot more pikes and peltasts (since peltasts are better than other jav skirmishers early on, except for Sparta's Perioikoi Peltasts)

Good to see this coming along so well. Unfortunately my gaming rig is barely managing it on the lowest settings with small unit sizes, so it wouldn't be any fun to see terrible screenshots of tiny armies. Maybe I'll be along for the next one. In the meantime I'm enjoying the updates!

Nonsense, I think nobody here is so shallow as to complain about screenshot quality. I mean, we've been playing Rome 1 for a decade now, and the feet of the troops there look like stalactites. So go ahead and don't worry about it. Actually reading the AAR is the best part IMO, the screenshots are just a visual aid.
