on my 2nd campaign game. going for total conqest. every province. in the first i finished way before 150 b.c. and am on track for that in this current one too. so i've stopped expanding to allow for development ofa couple of minor ai factions into regional powers. its getting to be a much more challenging game.

What version do you have? Once I've finished having 50 provinces and Rome, I can't do anything anymore. Do you delay conquering Rome?

I could finish the game without the post-Marian units. I might need to change my strategy into something more like the zerg swarm in Starcraft but it is possible.

My playstyle is as a maximizer. I try to move every single thing I can move and sometimes reload even if there is just a single diplomat in the middle of nowhere I forgot to move. I only slow down my conquering for teching.

I completed my first game in 170 B.C. as a total newbie. I'll never finish it later than that, now that I know what I'm actually doing.
