Spain, Gaul and the East were huge source of income for Rome, and made them incredibly powerful, despite the fact that the Latium and Italy and general is pretty low-food to start with (at that time). Yes, I agree that precious metals provided a great source of revenue. But I doubt you could find a respectable authority on the ancient world that would make the claim that Gaul and Germania were anywhere near as important regions of economic activity to the Republic and later Empire as a whole than Egypt and North Africa. Important, yes, but remember that the wealth of the ancient world was not in the West. Spanish gold funded Carthage and later Rome, but Egypt and North African agriculture is, hands down, far more important of an economic center than the northern and western provinces of the Empire would ever be. | ||

A system which allows you develop the a few researchs at the same time, putting a % of your research effort into it would be better, or just 1 military, 1 civil at the same time. The problem wit that would be that Rome could rush their military tech and then go destroy everyone fairly easily... | ||

At least it makes it harder to defend against those damn senate loyalists. Might have been too easy otherwise :D Also now that im vulnerable even the smallest factions dare to declare war on me. Its gonna be rough. Every faction has at least 3 full stacks and i have to defend against 15 of the senate loyalists.. and i can only have 12 legions max. and i have to defend some of my other borders too.^^ Current score: 2 legions lost and 4 legions crushed. ^^ Also random crashes even on the campaign map get more common now after 99 rounds... and civil war made half of my agents disappear.. otherwise i could just poison all their armies and i could trade a bit better.. also i dont get how food works anymore. Some provinces give me food when i tax them and some cost me food. I had + 80 food before the civil war but somehow got a deficit after civil war started.. dunno how that happened. | ||

It's kinda already like that from turn 1 though. Hastati destroy everything around them, trading about 2 to 1 with all the "levy" units you encounter. As Rome I don't think you really need to rush to their tier 4 barracks very soon at all. The tier 2 and 3 are much more bang for your buck. | ||

They are stupidly strong at the beginning, because of how bad hoplite armies are against them for the most part, and that's what you are facing. Against slingers and cavalry they work as intended, or that was my impression. | ||

I meant more so that they can tie up 2 of just about any other unit at that time without having to worry about their morale. I don't have alot of experience testing it in customs, but I would assume they would route if they were held by 2 units and had a third charge their flank. | ||

What I've personally gathered is that Nvidia and ATI haven't updated their drivers to support Rome II yet, which may largely explain why the game's not optimized for the majority of mid- to high-end computers. Weekly patches should only aid things, and running the benchmark while fiddling with settings are about all we can do for the moment. To the text-wall historical posters: With all due respect, could you spoiler your posts if they're going to be massive and about history, please? I know I've no authority to be telling you what to do, but I politely ask because it would help those of us focusing solely on the game navigate the thread. | ||

It was always prime problem of tw's that nothing can defeat a full stacked army of player, but its silly in rome. you dont even get enough casuluties to matter more than 1 round, even agains 2 full stacked armies, or a stack in city. even if by some grace of gods you suffer %80 casuluties, it takes no more than 3 turns to bring you back to combat strength. I'm ok with auto resupply, it didnt work in napeleon, it work in shogun 2 cause battles were usually really bloody, but both of those games were very limited in income unless you monopolize every single trade point in the map, so that kinda cancels out cos tof resupplying, but rome 2 has the highest and easiest income in series. I think I'm gonna play with house rules, any other unit than militias are limited to your max army number in your whole empire. you can have 6 armies? well you cant have more than 6 hoplites in your whole empire. also no champion training. I cant see any other way to make this game meaningfull | ||

I'm ok with that, I except it alright, but in rome 2 that happens at round 20... by then -unless you are parthia wtich lacks a melee infantry thats not militia- you are sure to have a hoplite/legioner equaliviant full stack army, with a champion pumping xp to everyone.

The one where you never auto-resolve and never lose a single battle might be worth your time. | ||
