    Hmm, I also finished a German camapign in 35 years,
    I did sell maps but only at the prices the AI offered.
    No bribery because enemys are expeience points for Germans.
    Some Mercs were necceassary, but I dont think that you can complain about hiring some barb Cav.
    I send almost a full stack lead by 2 generals south, another small stack with the faction leader went north to get Saxony, Vicus Gothi and Domis Dulcis Domus.
    Meanwhile the Vicus Marcomanny guy grabbed some spears and snathced Bohemia and Pripet (beat the Dacians by one turn on both occassions)
    Meanwhile, Treverum did some heavily defenisve action against wave after wave of puny Gaul attackers, than they killed equally puny (well, the Head hurles were annyoning) Britons, and wisely diceded to take out Alesia once they had enough Spears.
    Howeverever, the real fun was in Italy.
    My faction heir had some "training execricse" with the Ivavum rebels, decided that the Gaul towns werent wort sieging and went straight for the Julii capital.
    After looting some 10K by burning it down ( I am a Barbarian Damnit!) he got a taste for ruthlessly burning down roman citys (apart from that I needed the cash). Because he rreally liked playing with fire, he soon attacked rome.
    The huge big senate army was a bit overconifdent and lost their generals by charging straight into a german spear line.
    The remainders tried to charge some Skirmishers, this lead to dead skirmishers but also to roman infantry which did not throw their Pila.
    The Princips/Hastatie threw themselves agaisnt the German Spear wall, but did not manage to break them.
    The Triari decided to attack my pride spear unit (yeah, Silver Chevron!) and got smashed.
    My general had a lot of fun with hacking the crap out of puny equaites, than he returned to the field and got a lot of purple romas from behind.
    Rome was mine.
    This lead to a Barbfaction with loads of money and an existing acces to chosen archers after like 5 turns.
    Soon after, the Romans were forced of the mainland, and some archers got their gold chevrons.
    In addition I discovered that having 5 ports which can produce level 2 boats can actually leyad to naval parity with the other fatcions.
    The RLF (Rome liberation force) spl9it up after bruning italy.
    On part deciced to burn the rest of italy (the Gaul cities), the other part decided that the Bruti possioons on the Balcan also belong to Italy, and marched forth to burn them too.
    This lead to an Alliance with the Greeks, who were happy with not beeing bunred.
    The last group wanted to check with the bob the campfire god on Sicily (the Aetna) they saw that Sicily was Sipi-blue, the deicded to praise Bob by burning everything.
    I had proplems with the Julii Navy so I decided to train a Diploment in Siciyl and ferry it over to Carthage.
    However the Diplomant reported that Carthage was also "Blue". The Sicily force promtly boarded anothjer ship and lit some additional campifres down there in Africa.
    Meanwhile, the "Burn norhtern Italy force" was done with bruning Italy, however they got high on bunring hairy Gauls and promtply deciced that they wanted more of it.
    In short succession, they burned all parts of france which werent burned in previos encounters.
    Because the Spanish were also reported to be ahiry, the quickly burned the Spaniards too.
    The Treverum defense force (bolstered by some chosen Archers from Rome) moved north to burn some Britons...
    The burned quite well, epsiecially the chariots.
    Meanwhile, the Thracians decided that they wrere annoyed by the campifres in the former Balkan possions of the Brutii. The "Burn Brutii Burn" force soon domenstrated the cozy warm of some really big campfires.
    The Greeks wnated to burn too, and actually took back a former roman city.
    However they only occupied it, my barbas soon deomstrated that lighting some campifres is way more funny.
    I than took some odd rebel provinces to get my 50 together.

    Oh, just to make a thing clear, I burned every non rebll thing to the ground.

    If some of you people can finish the game this quick on VH/VH, then RTW obviously isn't as good as it should be.

    ...
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority
