Last night i almost cried because after all the downloading nothing worked (urgh!) However after deleting and removing everything and reading the install guide and four hours of waiting, defraging and restarting I got to PLAY.
AND IT WAS WORTH ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! I started as SPQR and didnt expect much except the new type IV govners but oh no......IT WAS EVEN beter then i could have hoped! New mercs and regionals a smarter AI (no not running with bi) that uses its navy effectivtly (Carthage making some nice moves) Just too awesome i played for 6 hours myself and it is 5 am eastern time here while i write this, I started playing at 8 or 9 pm. Wow if any Eb memember is ever in NJ i ll buy u a drink or 2 or 3 for sure wow!!!! I cant wait to burn some cities to the ground!
