Until I get my new PC I have 1.0 so it's fine for me.

well with 1.0, when the screen comes up telling you you have beaten the game, hit esc and save the game. Then exit to the main menu and load the game. It will be where you left off, but no message and thus you can continue to play on, even after Rome and 50 provinces.

in 1.0 you can bribe other roman armies for 50% of what it costs to recruit them( thinking of that SPQR stack)

**Bombasticus Maximus** · 05-18-2006, 23:18

I don't tend to bribe the other romans as they cost way to much and I like to keep the families all seprate for instance no general brutus fighting for the scipii.

Right my first screenshot. I have not had many battles so far. My profit is going up very well. I am taking my time building my towns up by building markets/roads/ports all the needed buildings to make money.

That screenshot was from a few turns ago so I have more money and the Senate told me to take Mediolanium and I am going too as they will give me a reward for it. I am attacking with Ceaser who has 22 men, Another general who has only 9, some triarii and some archers. I'll take screenshots of that battle and all my settlement scrols next time.

Don't wait for Urban Cohorts that would take way too long and you would just build up too much money. Continue conquesting with what you have. You have to wait for the Marius reforms which, in 1.0, cannot happen until sometime after 220BC. You'll have taken all of Gaul and Spain by 240-250BC and still have 20-30 years to wait.

Be thankful they didn't tell you to take Narbo Martius. It seems that they always give me that one on the 4th or 5th turn when I don't have enough of an army to make it there yet.

I meant their units.

They did tell me to take Narbo Martius but I never for the same reaons.

The units I may bribe when the time comes but I don't have enough money at the moment.
