    Default Roman Legions

    When starting with the Julii you immidiatly have to take Segesta. DO NOT enslave or exterminate the populance!!!!! If you do it will take forever to grow it into a large town.(approx. 40 year w/o a govenor)Then the senate will ask you to take Caralis. This should be easy if you take a good army. Once taken the Cartaginians will not attept to recpture it.

    A: This should be in the Julii strat guide thread.

    B: The growth of your initial 4-5 towns depends largely on your placement of governors. Yes, enslaving town one may slow things down initially, but the enslaved populations of towns 6-10 can be shunted there along with peasants from #1 and #2 to rapidly build the town. It all depends on which towns you need for recruiting centers and where, which depends, in turn, on your chosen strategic direction.

    If you really want that first rebel town to grow, put a governor in it,send your first two governors out of their towns for half a few miles, conquer and enslave a town or two, then send governor's 1 & 2 home. Now you have all of the slaves feeding into your designated build town.

    C: Caralis is a nice burg, but works better with Palma, Masilia and Narbonensis also under control -- a lucrative Rivieran trade zone.

    You have a very good point. If I play as a Roman faction, the only people I will really exterminate are barbarians, and Egpytians. Maybe some Armenian/Scythian/Dacian cities as well. If they are close in culture to you don't exterminate, like Greece or Macedon. I wouldn't exterminate them...

    Well they're not really part of the Riviera are they? If you get the chance, turning the whole of the western med into your own trading lake is, of course, the way to go. PLUS all the lovely vacation spots.

    Enslavement is fine, if you need to boost a couple of cities just send in the peasants.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    To boost your population levels in a settlement you can create peasants in another settlement and disband them in the settlement you want to boost the population in.

    Another way to manage population in large chunks is to give one of your large cities, that is growing too fast for your building browser to keep up, to a faction that you´re at war with and simply retake it in the same turn. Now you can either enslave or exterminate its population.
    And you probably already know this one; before assaulting a city, and want to enslave its population, remove all govenors in cities that you don´t want to grow. Now all slaves are directed to only the cities that you still have a govenor in. Good luck!
