    This Mule guy kicks ass though.
    That he does. Unfortunately foundations edge/earth just crapped on the whole series.

    That is crazy with the great silver colossus. I managed to conquer all the map with the Turks in Medieval but nothing close to that in Rome. It was a fun game though, came down to me and the alohmads owning half the map each with me fighting off a giant rebel russia switching to the mongols or russians in mass everytime one of them reappeared while the alohmads dealt with the scattered handful of provinces still retained by christain countries *denmark, france, england and Germany* forming an alliance against them in northern Germany, denmark, the area around flanders and britain. I was nice enough to the christains that they only sent their armies west, distracting the alohmads while 3000 men marched through Africa and gutted their empire like a fish. Does anything like that happen in the late stages of EB campaigns?

    Can't recall in detail the campaign - I ended up not conquering Britain as EB 1.0 had just come out (I was playing on v 0.8) and so I wanted to upgrade (lucky for the Casse!)

    I started off heading North until I held Constantinople - I used this city to secure my northern borders against Getai/Makedonia/KH etc. I then expanded south; took out the Ptolemaioi and then the Carthaginians. From Carthage I then secured the whole of North Africa.

    By this stage Rome was dominating much of the rest of the world. From Carthage I launched a massive operation against the Romans; I sent two full stacked armies of heavy spearmen/family members to the upper part of Italy and several stacks of skirmishers to lower Italy. Although I had a large number of cities the number of units momentarily bankrupted me.

    By laying siege to every city south of Rome with my skirmishers I was able to prevent the Romans from recruiting any new troops and with my heavy spearmen I was able to defeat several relief armies. The southern cities began to fall - by looting them/destroying their high level MIC's I was able to gain enough money to replenish losses from the battles against the relief armies. The other advantage was that as I was occupying most of the Rome homeland provinces they weren't able to field their high level infantry.

    From this point I held onto Italy, invaded Spain and joined the two sides of the empire up at the Alps. From there I pressed eastward and took out the last of the Romans and the Getai. The final phase was conquering individual cities in the far North East/East.

    I dealt with rebellions several ways:

    1) whenever I captured a city I always exterminated the populace.
    2) I tried to avoid building any highly advanced farming structures so the polulation never got too far out of control.
    3) whenever I was conquering in one region I used large follow up armies of poor quality troops to garrison towns.
    4) I bounced my capital around a lot - during the Italy campaign I moved my capital to Rome to ensure that the towns did not revolt.
    5) I tried to focus on one area of operations at a time and to keep my captial near that area (I found that cities were more likely to rebel if I had not owned them for long periods of time).

    I sometimes wonder if I should have played on to defeat the Casse, but then again I am enjoying v1.0 alot!!
