building for every single city I conquer and then rule, with care being taken of what type those cities end up with no paved roads before x years, then layed out from Roma to the rest of Italy, then to the main cities of the empire, etc. Of course, all this goes without specifying I tried to roleplay as much as possible, to avoid blitzkrieg whenever the opportunity offered and especially to build my empire somewhat according to how it would be in real life (ie. Thus, by 150 BC, there are some 4/5 superpowers in contest, and they are likely to turn on you as soon as you get in range : for the last 50 years, the Swêboz have kept sending stacks after stacks at me while in the east they did not even declare war to the weak Koinon Hellenon (which had been pushed back up to Crimea early on and never recovered since then). Not to say the great navy required to properly control the seas drains your coffers !Īnother thing to consider is that while you build up and conquer lands, so do the other strongest factions. Managing the economy has been especially challenging up to when I reached victory : because the more you spread your empire, the more troops you need to fortify every single pass and to man far away cities. Seriously thinking about it, I may have had some 20 years pretty boring in all that campaign. I tweaked again the Augustan reform so as to hit them around 130 BC with something like 70 cities.Ĭoncerning it being boring, well. For what I remember, I got the Polybian around 230 BC, then I tweaked the Marian to get them around 180 BC with only some 30 cities owned.
ROMA INVICTA ROME 2 MOD MOD
Or maybe give a shot to another mod (thinking to Casus Belli right now).
Since I'm sort of a "Romani or nothing" player, I'll probably start a new campaign with them again, but this time concentrating on smaller areas and objectives, like the Punic Wars. So this time I told myself : "ok, I'm going to bring this one up to the end" so that then I can go with no longer ever lasting campaigns without asking myself how it would be if I kept playing. I know this is such a long time spent on a single campaign, but as far as I remember, the last campaign I've finished before was over a year ago, something like RTR Gold I think. Swêboz and Ptolemaioi have been knocking on the door for the last century.
