    Re: Is Rome OP or is Syracuse too hard?

    Both Rome and Carthage will get bonus armies from time to time, so once you set foot in their mainland you have to go HAM.

    Sounds like you did great, so the following is no longer relevant for...
  2. Re: Besieging walled cities w/ no seige weapons

    I use deception (and hopefully this isn't cheese haha). I usually have 2 stacks (neither complete, typically 1 mostly full and one mostly empty).

    The empty stack is bait. I stick it on the border...

  8. Re: Pikemen, while useful in general, dramatically underperform against hoplites.

    1.2beta - Rome start help!

    I started playing DEI, and upgraded to 1.2beta last week. WOW! Loving the new pop system. Battle AI is significantly improved (I haven't figured out how to cheese it yet), to the point where I'm...
