I'm really quite enjoying the mod. The only other major mod i've played is RTR which I love. This is an interesting distraction. I decided to be boring and play Rome seeing as it was the faction I knew best so thought it would be the perfect faction for me to play in order to notice any differences. Well its different alright :) I don't think i've stuggled so much in any of the games i've played. I'm in the 250's BC at the mo and normally i'm at least in Sicily by now but can't clamp down on the rebels or Carthage who keep popping across form sicily to annoy me. I guess the main reason is the cost of facilities and troops and having such a low income. One of my northern town was bribed and my empire nearly went bankrupt :) I dream of being able to afford to buy a single unit of Mercenaries!

On the whole i'm enjoying it as i'm limited to one main army as i just can't afford the troops other than garrisons. I haven't noticed any bugs as yet or had any CTD's.

As for the argument regarding the Britons I have to agree with Dayve. I do see where you're coming from but there are quite a few civilizations in the game that didn't do much other than keep to their own historically or get conquered. Besides Greece and Macedonia's great history they did little other than get conquered by Rome in this time period along with most other Civs. Of course you're entitled to your own opinion.
