I've played 3 games as the Goths on Hard/Hard, and although the game says it's supposed to be easy it's bloody hard.

The first turn the vandals become a Horde. They will be in your one city in 10 turns or so. Meanwhile the Huns are marching toward you, driving out the Samations, often into your territory (though they usually go for the ERE) then the Huns come after you. Even though the Vandals and the Hun are at war, they both come after you via the same route without knocking heads first.

I've tried defending the city (1000 men to up to 4000) and get creamed.

So the third time I tried pulling up the stakes then moving West myself, and the Vandals bloodywell chased me to the WRE region next over. It was Rebel at the time, so I was going to hole up there, but I got wiped out in 2 bridge battles that were both in my favour, first was 1:2 and I got a clear win with over 50% losses to me, and 80% to him (So I lost 1000 he lost 800 or so) the second was more like 2:3 and I got creamed. The Troops were equal - same units, no XP no armor/weapon upgrades and I got creamed in a bridge battle.

I'm finding it a definate challenge when compared with RTW....
