    The one problem I have with the rules is the 7-day thing. Mainly, the later players are going to have to be stuck running a bona-fide empire, and they not only have to run it but document the major important events, take notes, and provide screenshots.

    Maybe this is just the way I play, but could we perhaps make the later players' limit 14 days?

    I agree - 2 weeks for later games (20+ provinces?) sounds reasonable.

    Caius...look after our archers. It will be a while before we can retrain or recruit any more.

    If Caius has ever modded the game is there a possibility it will not load for the following players? If so send an early save to me (vanilla/no mods) just to check compatability/mods?

    Germany. They were the faction I had trouble with in my first campaign many months ago. Our house rules suggest we do not attack them until Gaul/Spain/Briton are ours. We will be attacked by Germany early on..if they start a war then we are free to finish it?

    Good luck Caius

    Thank you,Severus.
    Two weeks.Sounds razonable, some people have to work and they can be busy. I'm studying but always im playing RTW 1.5 without mods installed.
    One time i installed Spqr Total War, but I uninstalled tthe mod and reinstalled RTW, i dont believe in any type of problems can make unplayable this campaign
    I agree - 2 weeks for later games (20+ provinces?) sounds reasonable.
    20 provinces? I am slow in the campaign.Yesterday i was playing and I captured Segesta(obviously),Mediolanium and Narbo Martius . I am going to capture Patavium and luvavum, for make a good fronteer agains the gauls.
    We must nt gain too many enemies at the same time, this can be dangerous

    The 20 provinces thing was just an attempt to define when the faction would be so big we would want to allow players 2 weeks rather than 1 week.

    Good luck with your reign.

    [B]Ok, my vacation ends tomorrow and I'll be home around 5 pm U.S. Central Time Zone(think we're about half a day behind you Brits, and, depending where in South America Caius is from, right at his time zone or a couple hours behind). I should finish my turn that by Sunday night, and have the writeup done within a week.

    I wanted to make sure of something before starting. To reduce the bandit spawn rate I go into C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion and change "brigand_spawn_value" to 100 and that for pirates to 100, right? And only I have to do this, not the next few players?
