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.
