why we are not screwed because (belive it or not) i have a plan! this plan calls for alot of money. what we do is near the cities i build a army of 1,000 or more troops. Then i attack at the heart of the Faction i will win if i do that because they on;y have up to 200 men max per city!

Clayton,

you are a genius. Spending lots of money to build a huge army to outnumber the enemy. Whow! How did you get this plan? You are American, right?

To your first question:
I think diplomacy depends on the fraction you play. With Greece I never found a partner, with Scythia I had no problem to find one.
It may also depend on your behavior in the past. Braking treaties might reduce to get new ones.

No, you got the wrong nation there mate, he must be Chinese! Their the ones with the 200 million manned military...

We go more for the technological & trained version of the military, their the ones with the vast troops.

Hi! My advice would be: if you want to play RTW with good diplomacy (you can request one faction to attack other, allies don't stab you in the back, etc.), challenging campaign and battle AI, then download DarthMod 5.0. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=71
Man, I now enjoy RTW more than when I bought the game , because now I even lose battles , AI kinda makes alliances against me, the game is VERY CHALLENGING (on H/VH), btw I downloaded CCLight Music Mod (it includes soundtracks from such masterpieces as Gladiator, Pyrates of the Caribbean, etc.), which really enhances gameplay! Now I have what to play untill RTR 6.0 comes out, yeah .
IMO DarthMod 5.0 is the best mod to date! Try it - you"ll love it!
Cheers and enjoy the game!

Numbers mean nothing - its all about skill and strategy

And the AI has neither skill or strategy.

[katank]

So true, I've won battles with 10:1 odds in AI's favor and they still manage to lose.

It's truly pathetic.

lol, yep you said it

In vanilla...half the time it doesn't even have numbers!

Hat least in darth mod it sends army after army after army...
