Hey guys.

EB has got me back into RTW which is a good thing really.. but then again maybe not allgood as I spend all my time on it

I was never a really great RTW player before and only knew basics of the gameplay and never really got into or understood a lot of the deep aspects of the game.

So EB comes along and I look at the site then wow it looks great! I love history a lot although I don't study it. Its just such an interesting subject, at school most the time its made a bit boring but as soon as I left school I got more and more interested, mainly because of where I live (Colchester).

Loving British barbarian and early 'tribes' (at least the idea of them and what I little I know) I think i'll try out with the Casse to get me going.

Anyway after a few attempts I get sortof going but MANY years behind, after trying to get a good income. I then finally go over to europe to find its all been taken up by the Aediu and Sweboz (At least the west and north east).
Both being my allies, I don't really want to mess starting a huge war where i can't really do any good.

Now to the questions

As I said i'm not an expert with RTW so maybe you can refresh and help me out on a few things that may improve my gameplay.

1. So I ask, is the Casse's only main goal to take the whole of Briton/UK (At least whats known as the UK now)??.

2. How on earth do you get going well to start with? From the gameplay guide I learnt to sell the fleet as its taking a lot of income away but still I find it tricky to get any sort of income...
Remember i'm not great with the deep aspects so I might be missing the obvious :-P

3. Retinue, I never really got it when I first played RTW. Do you transfer them between generals/family members? What ways do you gain them?

I ask the above because i'm starting again as the Casse, after taking well over 192+ years to actually get to europe but I was only figuring out and boy does ending turns take time!?

I've got more questions and stuff i'd like to ask but i'll let you take the shock of this long post and questions first :)


I'm really enjoying the EB mod and I can't wait for the patch :)

Thanks!
