Well it was more testing the water really; seeing whether it was worth me writing a proper in depth guide to Rome online.

Re: Basic guide
Nice tutorial, though, maybe you should've addressed zerkers a little. As they seem to be the uber boys of the game. :D
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
Re: Basic guide
Well it wasn't in any way meant to be complete guide to the game, just a basic overview on playing, I deliberately cut out an enormous amount to try and keep it shortish...
Berserkers are not that difficult to use really, and are often banned, so I didn't see the need to go into their usage. They are of course powerful and scare enemies that can cause routs quite easily, even more so if they get into flanks, but they're uncontrolable, so will often go off chasing something you don't want if you're not careful. This is btw one of my ways of dealing with mass berserkers if people are careless, having a couple of units of cavalry to lure the berserkers into attacking them, and then just keeping the cavalry running while my archers shoot the zerkers. Using Berserkers though, I normally just tend to keep them when I want the enemy line to break first, so with my front line to try and shield them.
Against zerkers though, mass cavalry charges can be pretty effective in wiping them off the field, as can archers. I also find having a unit of priests chanting behind my lines helps to counteract the fear causing penalty of berserkers so that your line holds longer, which is often the key to defeating them. Chosen axes too tend to defeat them given a few upgrades, which is normal.
