    Well , maybe I just lack patince , maybe I will try to play longer in my current Greek Cities campaign.
    And one more question : are there many events after 150 B.C. ?????

    Nope. From my knowledge, there are 0, none, kaput, zilch events after 150 b.c.

    I got to about 230bc with my Seleucid campaign, by which time I'd conquered Asia minor, Africa, and half of the Greek peninsula, and I took control of northern Italy, splitting Julii's control of regions into two parts, and preventing them from protecting the Senate. Nothing the Romans could throw at me could defeat me, and all the other factions were close to extinction. Only a mini-campaign to save the last Gaul lands from the Julii was adding length to the campaign. For victory I only needed to pull a few units in from Asia and Greece and send them into the last few Roman terrorities around Rome itself. The campaign was pretty pointless by that stage because as soon as you become wealthy and powerful as the Seleucids, you've practically won by default.

    I had a German campaign last until about 170bc, but only because I started with a bucketload of cash and hibernated in Hibernia for about 60 years before moving 50,000+ barbarians across the seas into the Roman heartland.

    Sadly with RTW, the best challenges lie at the start, and once you knock out your neighbours, you can often start to pick off your enemies at will, so I've never stuck with many campaigns after the first 40 years or so.

    I rarely break 200bc, and have never gone past 150bc

    The game is a foregone conclusion after the first 20 or 30 years

    VH level usually or H. But as long as you can survive the initial onslaught during the opening 20-30 years and secure yourself one or two additional profitable settlements, the challenge drops. Barbarians probably have the hardest continual campaign as their units are limited and they struggle to maintain order in large and huge cities. I had a couple of potential tough and interesting campaigns but found myself bored with the game, thus chose to mod it myself.
