I haven't played a whole Roman campaign yet, but as I understand it, its all adoption based. Maybe you should be more discriminating when accepting members into the family? I'm pretty sure the game will start to throw a lot of adoption canidates if you have a small family member-to empire size ratio.

But I could be wrong, in which case...oh hell, who are we kidding, when have I ever been wrong?

Yeah, that's good advice. If the game is trying to give you a sorry adoptee, and you can live without him, you can wait a turn or two and you'll probably get another offer. It's based on a ratio that the game tries to maintain: about 1 general for every 2 provinces.

Interesting... in my RTR game (waiting for the 1.0 EB version to come out before playing it) almost half of my adopted and married characters start off with 3 stars (ie are good generals). Hardly a good governor anywhere.

Don't worry; I'm to nerf the Management scrolls a bit as well, and am still tweaking the command stars advancement (getting 2-3 shouldn't be impossible).

I've never got a triumph todate.

Last night, I fougth 5 back to back attacks from the Sweboz. The last two attacks had me favored at 4:5. The enemy had the advantage, I got two heroic victories and 3 clear victories. I started with 2500 troops and by the end of the 5th battle I had about 200. The AI hit be 5 times staight, battle after battle. It was one of the most intense games of RTW that I've ever played.

And guess what, still no TRIUMPH! I was seeing elephants and was already long ago a vanquisher of Germania.

My general will die of old age soon, just like my other general who came close to winning an Afircan Triumph, but died of old age prior to recieving his due credit.

Both Generals fought in over 25 battles, large ones.

Amazingly enough, he only had 3 command stars, regardless of the 5 back to backs, and a life time of killing Germans. I just can't make it happen.
