Second highest tax level is -1 growth. Once your past the early game 1 growth really isnt a whole lot when compared to the extra income more taxes gives you.

EDIT: Noticing the Patch 4 changes already. Diplomacy map has your faction in white now, and the strength of other factions' feelings towards you is gradual; more transparency is lower strength, and more solid is higher. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nwdzl8k.jpg) I got an economic win on Hard difficulty for my first victory; it was simply easier to get because I was already bringing in over 80k gold per turn. It appears the other victory conditions are still present to be achieved as well after the winning screen. A warning: campaign map speed dropped significantly in the late-game. I had less than 30 factions on screen, but it took almost 3-4 minutes after each turn for the A.I. to cycle through everyone. I learned that maxing out agents is only good for the achievements, and you will spend forever and a day getting them to that point. The agents and their states are my favorite new part about this game so far; I love how innovative yet recognizable CA made them, traditional yet new.  The patch must be working because I finally saw what an army in Raiding mode looks like. The A.I. does seem to have improved very, very slightly on the campaign map. Sleeping now. That campaign took far too long to accomplish.... | ||

Anyway, the game is much improved from where it was at release, but it still needs some work. | ||

Also play rome use 6 legionaries and then just full wardogs. its hilariously overpowered against he ai when you attack with wardogs. you can't physically attack the dogs and they'll swarm over the unit and when they start flanking units they'll just tear them apart one by one. when the unit routs at some point they're really efficient at killing each and everyone of the routing units. http://www.twcenter.net/ basicaly just follow this and collect fun. | ||

You basically can only afford to upgrade a few settlements/provinces beyond tier 2. You'll have to leave the vast majority at tier 2 to avoid stacking the penalties. Some factions are building decent armies and some factions are still building tier 1 trash. I'm not sure what the problem is. Generally, the Celtic/British factions seem to build the most competitive armies. The barbarian factions north of Greece build crap. I'm not entirely what the African desert factions are buildings, but it looks like a lot of crap unless large shield warriors are supposed to be good. Anyway, the game is much improved from where it was at release, but it still needs some work. Build Colosseum in your province capitol for happiness, build happiness temples and farms in your other villages. Select 1 province at the start to contain your army building. Expand the number to move provinces are you expand and can afford to. The farms produce a ton of food which is consumed by your temples/colosseum leaving enough for max province growth (think it was 15 surplus) while you have enough happiness to go above tier 2 city's. | ||

Yeah, I always put the +happiness commerce building in my provincial capitals. Teching to tier 4 takes a while, though. | ||

By the time it gets a discount, it'll have enough patches to run smoothly.

The pop-up for Shogun II that let you mix and match which mods you wanted to use was excellent and should return if at all possible. | ||

Theres this thing called the mod manager that a user created that all the modders are useing to manage their mods. The mods for Rome 2 have been hella lightweight too. They had a mod conference and the people their said that they could manage their own mods and wanted more attention to make it easier for them to mod things. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?618536-Mod-Manager there it is. Mods are being presented as .pack files and you can click the "solve any problems" button to solve any problems. | ||

I can't find out how to skill my champions in order to get military training bonusses. I'm sure I've seen them but its impossible to find the path to it. | ||

I'm not sure that you can skill them to get the military training bonuses if they don't start with the bonus when you recruit them. | ||

I'm 100% sure it was possible in the first patch, it was crazy OP no doubt but I'm sure I had them. There's still no full skill tree I can find anywhere? Would be quite helpful to see what you can actually get on characters. | ||
