Re: I rule the world !
Probably, hehe. Some people don't bother to go all the way since they know they are over the hump and they've done it so often there is no challenge. Congradulations on your victories though

Re: I rule the world !
wow. congrats on u conqureing the world. ive done it to, as the egyptions and the julli.hey, just to compare, which faction did you find the hardest to overthrow?cause the britons put up one hell of a fight.
No matter what you think, or what they tell you,
you are NEVER safe in numbers.
Re: I rule the world !
wow.. I almost always start a new game when starting the game, disallowing me to come that far. I think it's so boring managing 100 armies, much more interresting having a small empire and being challanged
Re: I rule the world !
After Marius reforms barbarian nations are no match for the roman legions...I had no problem against the britons....Egypt and other roman families are the only ones who troubled me ....I will say Parthia too....When I was taking over their last settlement it was a HUGE fight....they had 3 units of elephants inside their walls and i didn't have any missile units ,only onagers....so It was quite hard to killed them only with legionaires and urban cohortsOriginally Posted by Sextus the mad

Re: I rule the world !
Romans kinda lack cavalry. Apart from the Praetorian Cavalry, and the cheap and good Roman cavalry, the rest quite suck.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: I rule the world !
They have a damn sight more cav then most other countries. And most of its good as well.
Re: I rule the world !
Equites are no match for Macedonia, Greek or Carthaginian cav..
Roman Cav and Pretorian are excellent, though.
Re: I rule the world !
What I´m really missing with the Romans is a decent anti-cav unit. The triarii are good, but you don´t manage to get many of them, and the post-reform auxilia troops don´t hold their ground too well against cavalry - or chariots, which are even worse.
Re: I rule the world !
A lot of merc units are good against Cav. Recruit!
Re: I rule the world !
Oh, I do. I´ve invented the title of "official phalanx recruiter" for one of my less-than-usefull family members, who´s busy running through all the countries that offer phalanx mercenaries to gather them up
Re: I rule the world !
Good job man!
Re: I rule the world !
Indeed. The odd job here and there does no harm, of course.Oh, I do. I´ve invented the title of "official phalanx recruiter" for one of my less-than-usefull family members, who´s busy running through all the countries that offer phalanx mercenaries to gather them up
Carry on.
Re: I rule the world !
My experience was that conquering the world is MUCH easier than holding it. I kept playing after I as Julii had taken the last spot on the map, and soon rebellions and revolts were breaking out everywhere, with my garrisons being totally slaughtered (or just as bad, turned rebel) and thus leaving me little ability to take the cities back. Cities that had been nothing but peasants suddenly had near full stacks of gold chevron rebel legionaries. It was very harrowing; I played about 14 years' worth and finally got it all back before I moved on to another campaign.

Good to talk to you again!
I am also almost through taking it all! With 94 regions, Scipii have 6 and Rebels have 3, and a small army of Arcani wiping out brigands, I look forward to seeing it all turn Scarlet too!

Re: I rule the world !
Glad to see that...keep up the good job

Re: I rule the world !
Haha, I came close to conquering the world with Brutii, and I did it with only 10 full-stacks at peak deployment. At the end (with only the northeast unconquered) I had only 2 stacks still left commissioned. It's really cool if you get all the way there but it's the law of diminishing marginal utility, it gets less fun the further you get. Though this scipii campaign I'm playing now will probably go on till EB comes out cos it's looking interesting. The Seleucids are now hurling phalanx pikemen at me and I can't wait for them to produce their silvershields and elephants.

Re: I rule the world !
I tried once to get 100%, but once I got all of western Europe (Iberia to Greece) and a good portion of Africa, there seemed little challenge in continuing, considering the only people who could have stood up to my gold chev Gothic Cavalry and Chosen Archers were already crushed under my boot. This was taken before I turned my attention to Dacia, Africa, and finally Greece

Nope, doesn't work for me...
P.S: How is Alabama? I live in Texas...
Re: I rule the world !
Try copying and pasting is it doesnt work: http://www.kekvitirae.com/buffroman.jpg
As for Alabama, lots of pine trees everywhere.
Re: I rule the world !
Well that doesn't work either, but it's no biggie.
Alabama...Tell me more! Tell me more!
I've never really been to Alabama (no offence, but there is nowhere to go!)
Re: I rule the world !
Running a firewall?
Re: I rule the world !
Yes, but that's not the problem...
Re: I rule the world !
Re: I rule the world !
Got it...
That took way to much time for that...
Re: I rule the world !
for scorillo:
what impresses me is the amount of money your cities generate and how few armies are in them.
How do you do that without creating a riot environment.
I feel like i have to have much more units in a city and therefor make less money... (eventhough i really have all the building built to keep them happy)
