Well, I'm at about 145 B.C, and have fought 50 plus battles. Once we are engaged, every battle last no more that two minutes, and that's being generous. It is too fast. And, I hate to do it, I'm going to violate one of my posting rules, i.e. taking issue with another's view of the game. Someone posted that their battles (non-sieges) last 25 minutes or so I find that hard to believe. This game is great, but the battles have got to be adjusted. They are just too short.

And yet the major problem, as I see it, that has plagued the Total War gamesis present here too; poor Campaign Level AI. As was the case with Medieval, I'm moving into enemy countries totally desolate of any meaningful technology. I'm not talking about barbarians either. I'm mopping the floor with the AI. My BIGGEST problem is managing my cities. If you forget about one for one or two turns, you've got a rebellion on your hands.
