Well, I relied on a lot of Persian Archers, and I only had like two native phalanx. Also, it's a lot of luck too. If the AS gets kicked out too early, you have to fight a lot more, but if they stick around for a while like in my game, then the Parthians and Saka won't worry about you. Then you have time to build up your economy.

Having played through several campaigns, I missed the Romani, and decided to go through their campaign again using more role-playing this time. I've tried to be fairly accurate in how they conquered things, although I'm a bit flexible about that and I'm trying to develop characters more. Here's my Empire in 188 BCE with my potential reformator/faction leader. Hope he survives to 172.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Oh and the map is a little bit inaccurate: it lists the Kingdom of Pergamum as being a part of the Imperium Romanum when really it is just our "ally"

I've been trying to do that, but I usually get a little overwhelmed, once Roma is almost completely full of FMs. Do you just roleplay a few of them or do you have some intricate system of telling them apart?

I dunno about him but I usually try to roleplay the general senate with empathesis on the Faction Leader ( aka Pincepet) though ya it can get confusing at times lol...

Yeah, same here. I generally just focus on a few promising men and have the Republic expand in a realistic way. Juggling all those family members would be too much for my tastes.

I usually just play from the perspective of the Faction leader and his successors. I typically make him a conquering on the move general or the govenor of Roma (so hes near the rest of the senate and gives orders to his underlings-other FM's from there)

Yeah, I always used to basically ignore my faction leader, but I'm starting to make use of him more - he tends to have better traits, and has higher chances of getting into elected office I find, so if I make one of the family members I'm role playing the faction leader, he's got a good shot at making it to the Consulship, and isn't that what it's really all about?

eg. my reformator, as you may have noticed, is my faction leader, and he's now (as of 180 BCE) made it through the entire Cursus Honorum (apart from the Censorship), has 5 command stars and has just celebrated a Triumph. He's taken a certain Ivlivs Caesar under his wing. We'll see where that boy's career goes... -M

My new Campaign with Quart-Hadast, not the most actual map but I think about making my first AAR, so i'll just show the situation at 251 BC:

I'm currently at war with the Romans but my first Roman ("Punic") war will soon end (I should better say: has ended). What you can see here is the rest of the mercenary part of the army the Carthaginian senate has sent and which stopped the romans on sicilia.
