I rule the world !

[Cras]

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)

[Kekvit Irae]

Peasants. They work the same as higher-grade units at garrisoning, while costing only a fraction of the price.

[Cras]

but if you fill your cities with 20 peasant units.. should that not show on the flag above the city? your cities are only for 1/3 filled with units..

[Kekvit Irae]

It's easy to keep a city happy with three or so units if you have good health buildings and various other things that increase happiness.

I did it! I finished up with all 103 regions! The Med is a big Julii Lake!

Yes, at one point, the only thing left was on Scipii city on the East Edge of the map. I had to end turn to build siege equipment as the spy was unable to open the gate. Next turn, 1 rebel revolt.

And a lot of riots.

Next turn were over 20 riots, and 6 more revolts. I immediately laid siege to the ones that rebelled. It was here that I destroyed the last of the Scipii.

Next turn, I took most of them back, butchered everybody and went from -93,000 dinare to 30,000+. It was here that I also noticed that in the rioting cities, the AI had raised the tax rate.

I lowered the tax rate, checked cities, and in most places found damaged Curias and markets. I repaired them as I found them, and laid siege if any more revolted. Fewer and fewer were rioting and revolting. It finally got to only two rebel cities left, and I had siege equipment at both of them. I took them both back, and looked at the Julii symbol and saw that I did indeed have 103 territories.

I have taken a screen shot, and when I figure out how to access the RTW\TGAs folder, I will send it out.

Just in case my screen shot failed, I saved the game and named it; I rule the World! I will try to send it from there.

Hurrah!

Strength and Honor

So your experience was a lot like mine it seems--smooth sailing till you take it all and then all hell breaks loose!
