I have some more screenshots of when I played this morning I will post them later. I have not taken the gaulish settlement yet because gaul sent an army to the fishing village near segesta so I easily defeated them and next turn they will siege segesta. I have trade rights with spain and am heading towards germany then onto the britions. I also have trade rights with with greece, macedon and thrace. next on the trade right list is scythia and pontus.

By the way what difficulty are you playing on?

**Bombasticus Maximus** · 05-19-2006, 16:02

M/M as I am not great as building up money. I used to edit the text files so I start with loads.

have you tried to ask your allies for some? They'll help if you attack their or even your enemies (rebels...)

I could do but but I have never done that if I get into a deep crisis I guess I will.

BM...well done with the screenshot and getting it onto the forum.

Looking forward to your progress reports.

11K in the treasury...spend it on more troops and go get the Gauls. Pick up mercenaries on the way if you feel a bit understrength. Dont be afraid of spending all your money by the end of your turn...provided your income is always higher than your wages/costs you should be fine with more money in the bank at the start of the next turn.

Hastati, Equites, Spies will win you gaul quickly. And decide where you want to build archers and try to develop that quickly as those initial archers wont last for ever.

Months back..from my first ever campaign. Also Julii on M/M

Seems I should have followed my own advice...and spent more money expanding the army.
