World domination

[ZombieFriedNuts]

When you have technically completed the game have you ever just gone all out and tried take over the whole world.
At the moment I’m trying to take over everywhere the Romans did and then defend for a while and then the world.
And what happens when you destroy all the factions?

[Severous]

Ive played these campaigns:

RTW Prologue - until won
RTW Julii Imperial M/M - until won (Rome capture made 50th region)
RTW Brutii Imperial H/H - until won (Rome capture made 53rd region)

Currently playing RTW Egypt Imperial VH/VH. Might loose, might stop, might go on....too early to say. Main objective is to play over all the zones in the east end of the map..have played over all the rest.

[x-dANGEr]

I play any faction till it gets 'boringly-easy'.

Carthage VH/VH: Till I had Italy and most of Spain.
Roman Julii VH/VH: Till I had most of Europe.
Roman Scipii VH/VH: Till I had Greece, North africa and some of Asia Minor.
Seleuceds VH/VH: Never actually won it.. I think I never tried too hard anyway.
Scythia VH/VH: When I started pushing Romans back.
Pontus VH/VH: Till I destroyed Egypt.

Those are about all the campaigns in RTW.

In BI:

Sassaidns VH/VH: Just took Anitoch and the southern part of ERE.
Vandals VH/VH: Currently eating WRE from all sides.. But it is getting boring, my cash simple can't drop below 50k, I have 4 armies, 1 of them led by a 14 stars general (Unfortunately, I think their is a thing like max-10, because only 10 appear), 1 led by a 7 influence guy, and the other 2 led by to-be great commanders.

[Craterus]

There is a 10* max. The other stars have no effect.

I've never actually won a campaign. Closest I've ever got was taking the eastern half of the map with Egypt. Was stuck in a stalemate war against Scipii in North Africa. Got bored of countless legions and started a new campaign.

i one 2 campaigns both with julii...but i never bothered to play after i got bored...or so powerful it was no challenge anymore

I`ve won several campaigns in RTW, and "quite a few" in BI.
Right now I`m going for complete world domination with my Saxon VH/M campaign. Taken all of western and sentral Europe, and have started my invasions in Africa.

My first RTW campaign ever, The Julii on M/M, I conquered everything but 4-5eastern provinces.
I did not complete the Prologue.

I don't ever go for world domination. Either I stop after the official campaign win, or sometimes I won't even go that far, if it looks like a win is in the bag and nobody left on the map can prevent it. Once in a while I'll play on past the official campaign win, if I want to wipe out an especially annoying faction that's been giving me trouble. Revenge is more important to me than world domination.

[Glaucus]

I did it once, eliminated all the factions. It isn't really fun, since it takes AGES to take the amazons, and by then all the cities have huge populations and are always rebelling. Because of this I never actually covered the whole map at once, seeing as there were several civil revolts each turn. It isn't very fun, in fact I'd advise against it, it is far more fun to play the early game until you are the strongest, then start a new campaign.

[Avicenna]

Personally just until I win the faction objectives or notice that I don't like playing as that faction.

If you like World Domination, have a go at any mod that has Mundus Magna map. You'll see that world dominatino is almost impossible, especially with the massive map. Add that on to the season penalties that are present in EB...

[Severous]

Ive seen many players say early game is harder than late game. I find the late game has the biggest and best battles. So really enjoy that dimension of the late game. Early battles are less grand.

What I dislike about late game is its size. As I micromanage everything a turn takes ages. Its a relief when Rome falls and the game 'officially ends'.

Yet I feel I need to paint the whole map one colour at least once. To say that I have done it. Fast Egyptian chariot forces should do this well although I suspect they will not fight too well in the snow.

[Ciaran]

I only play till I´ve got Rome and the fifty provinces. An Egypt campaign was fun doing that - the Romans were the last I attacked and they had grown pretty strong, that was quite a bit of a challenge. Playing with the Romans there´s supposed to be the Civil war, but that never seems to start of its own for me and if I start it myself, I usually have the fifty-province quota almost completed, so its just a matter of taking Rome. Now, if the civil war started (of its own, I know I can start it myself after I get the "Chance for Power" message, either by cancelling my alliances with the other Roman factions or by trying to assasinate a Senate family member) when I have around twenty or thirty provinces, that would make things interesting.
But even though my popularity with the people can´t get any higher, the Senate never hates and fears me enough to outlaw me

I always quit once I'm really steamrolling and it gets boring. I've completed one MTW campaign as Danes and none for rtw. I've beaten a couple BI factions, saxons, franks but they don't really count as you only need 15-20 whatever provinces makes just a short campaign (i've beaten a bunch of those, almost every faction)

[Monarch]

Tend to get bored of campaigns.Its fun at the start but once you get a foothold theres no stopping you.

I've finished a RTW Julii campaign, got midway through Greek Cities and Seleucids.

BI are easier to finish as they're shorter, so once your established only a few more cities and you've won. I've complated a Saxon, Alemanni and Vandal campaign (all three won by going soley for the WRE), started an ERE one too (might go back to it actually, since its half term break soon).
