I'm the New Boy!

[Shadowwalker]

Welcome.

Although I'm also still somewhat new here, I'd like to give you one or two "hints".

(1) Don't expand too fast. Especially as the SPQR you could suddenly find out that there are too many enemies for the armies you can afford.
(2) To make the game as the SPQR more enjoyable just use historical army compositions. A stack full of Principes, Triarii and Pedites Extraordinarii my sound like fun at first, but you will not enjoy this for long. Believe me.
And of course you can't afford stacks like these at the beginning.
(3) Download Force Diplomacy minimod if you want to solve the AI problem of "I have one city left, filled with two units of levy archers. And you, the mighty SPQR have four legions right at the gates and as far as I can see just about 50 provinces filled with another dozen legions. Why the hell should I sign a ceasefire?! Shut up and fight like a man, you ***!"
Just make sure that you don't use it for cheating. I would have a bad feeling cause I would be somewhat responsible since I gave you the idea to use the mod...
(4) Read all texts you find in the game. They are at least interesting.
Most ones increase your knowledge and a lot of them are even funny. Really funny.
(5) Have fun. And fear the coloured deaths...

(6) Praise your browser as he has finally led you to the best RTW mod ever.
