    Default Suggestions please! (not a question, but an order!)

    So i've migrated my Romans all over the map.
    I've got the Augustan reforms from turn 3 by cheating, so i can build legionaries and auxiliary cohorts almost everywhere west of the Ural.

    I teleported my fm's to the Buridavae, hoping to be able to recruit them fancy falx-dudes, what's it called, the special ones, Germanic dudes...
    Well, that didn't work out, just some Germanic spear levies for the Romans there. Built highways and maximum trade ports in Buridavae, Olbia and Chersonesos and left, giving the Sauromatae and Getae something worth fighting over...

    Then i teleported to Ireland, the land of the Ire. Built up slowly there, hoping to be able to resist attacking the Casse.
    Well, that didn't work out. So i attacked them and realized they were no match for me so after some conquering and ultimately by force-diplomacy i switched positions with them, after process_cqueing' maximum ports, mines and highways so they'd have some economy.

    I'm building up the English mainland now, keeping the Caledonians Eleutheroi as a buffer between me and the Casse. Arverni have all but kicked Aedui out of Gallia. Epeiros has taken all of Italy, save Mediolanum (Aedui).
    I've invaded the Arverni a couple of times to "blood" family members. (blooding is my baptizing-ritual in TW)

    It bugs me Chersonesos keeps revolting to me. I thought it would revolt to the Koine, but maybe because i upgraded the palace there it revolts to Romans now? This opens perspectives for future games...

    Also the Italian Epeirote settlements keep revolting to me. That sucks also.

    But the reason for this thread is hopefully you can give me some suggestions on how to play from here. I don't really want any provinces on the continent. Not to soon anyway. I could defend the Aedui (still in the southern Belgae province and in Mediolanum) from the Averni. But i like the trade coming from the Averni, who hold almost entire Gaul.

    Will not having Rome be a bad thing for the development of my character traits?

    Anyone has nice ideas/inspiration. I'm a roleplayer. My Romans are in fact uber-Celts. My faction leader's name is Brittanicus.

    BTW: How do i get the text in a post normal, not column-wise, but text(book)wise, it's really bugging me to have to read on this forum.

    edit: looks like i did it... been screwin around so much i don't know how i did it now... You guys should make it standard settings...
    edit2 nope i didn't. Really any moderators see this?
    I wouldn't want to read my own post in this format. Please change those standard settings. Noone likes this. It's hellish to read.

    Yeah, those forums where you actually have to read are so annoying, wonder why people make them...

    I have honestly no idea why this happens. It was a problem just after the forum upgrade, but our administrator changed some settings and it was solved. Maybe you should ask him?

    Funny. In a Jehova's Witness kinda way. I mean the vertically oriented posts. It's like a newspaper, and the endless scrolling that it inflicts upon readers reminds of unfoldable newspapers.

    But uhm, you're a veteran here... Any suggestions on what i could do now?

    I have a suggestion.
    Start a new campaign and play without cheating.
    It works for me.

    Migrate somewhere with the KH. That's always fun.

    Migrate to West Africa and try to hold back Carthage with Numidian units. So the only real infantry you will get are Garamantines, the rest will be assorted skirmishers and missile cavalry. Would be a real challenge I think.
    From Frontline for fixing siege towers of death
    x30 From mikepettytw for showing how to edit in game text.
    From Brennus for wit.

    Conquering Casse by 265 is always fun.

    Troy wouldn't have had cavalry, all they would have would be some medium and infantry. Besides, the Trojan war occurred about 900 years before this game.
