I miss GA mode!

I want glorious achievment mode back! I know the senate gives missions, which is kinda like that but it isnt the same and its only for romans..boo.

It was such a more rewarding experience than 'conquer the map' mode (dull)

In MTW playing as BYZ, I often held the traditional BYZ territory and let everyone else kill each other so you got large wars against the inevitable victor. I thought it a bit more of a challenge that way, especially when the horde appeared.

Now if RTW's diplomacy system was a bit more advanced you could have things like Pax Romana as a goal-now that would be a challenge!

Anyone else miss it?

It is a heck of a long game, especially when fighting all the battles.

[Parmenion]

Me too...
It sems ridiculous that you have to conquer 50+ provinces and Rome to win as every faction. Even the Parthians and the British who are both a long way from Rome.
It wouldn't have been too difficult to throw in some basic GA tasks, such as keeping Home Provinces or conquest (you know, the really basic ones from MTW).
Hopefully, this will come out in an expansion (or maybe even a patch...)

[Colovion]

I miss it too. The trade empire without enemies.... sigh.

[Bhruic]

I'd like to see some victory condition that isn't implicitly tied to military conquest. Wouldn't have to be the GA style, although that could work. But being restricted to war as the only real option gets tiresome.

I concur - my Parthian campaign is probably not going to see a proper conclusion for the simple reason I don't want to be forced to conquer Rome in order to win every single campaign. Certainly, it's important, but not that important to the various far-flung factions.
