    Re: AI vs Player Bonuses

    Play the long game; i.e. don't rush into wars in turn 1, take time to build up your economy, and try to make alliances and trade treaties. All of that takes time and may mean you will have sit still...

    Re: Assigning Traits to General's Wife

    Nope. I believe only items that have faction-wide effects will do anything when assigned to someone's wife.
  3. Any way to turn a "Bad Leader" into a decent one?

    My current king is considered a "Bad Leader" (despite having a high rank and being quite the force in battle), which is giving me some faction-wide nerfs. Is there anything I can do to turn him into...
  4. Re: How do you guys deal with the 6 stacks of Carthage's clients?

    More often than not, I tend to peace out with them, and usually they're either willing to go for a non-aggression treaty or outright become client states of mine (you will have to chip away at...

    Hah! You are exactly right! Just went to buy the DLC and voila, there's the Arche Bosphorus faction. :)

    I'd like to play the Grand Campaign as the Bosporan Kingdom (that little Greek state at the northern shore of the Black Sea), but I'm not offered that option in the faction selection screen when...

    Re: Besieging walled cities w/ no seige weapons

    I wish the game didn't have 20 units per army but maybe 24 or 26. That way one wouldn't have to spread stuff out over 2 stacks. With only 20 units, it sucks losing valuable unit slots to supporting...

    Re: Which factions are fun in grand campaign?

    I love to play as Rome (obviously), Carthage or the Suebi. The latter faction is particularly rewarding because it's a lot more challenging (though still not super difficult).

    Yeah, I'm with you. The amount of game-breaking bugs that are STILL in the game is quite staggering, considering this has been out for almost 7 years.

    Re: Households missing

    Is it really a bug? It has been my impression that one of the recent patches changed the ancillary pool from one global one for all political parties to each party having its own pool.

    Ironically, while your own cities' control zones won't necessarily stop enemy armies from moving through them, it takes your armies 3 to 4 turns to move around a friendly city that belongs to a...

  15. Re: Is it possible to make so liberating nations makes them your client state?

    Why not? That's what would most likely happen in real life. If you capture a region you don't want to rule directly, you should at least have the option of installing a puppet regime.

  23. Poll: Re: What's your artillery piece of choice? (Non siege battles)

    Ooh, I LOVE​ ballistas. Given how much easier they make winning battles, I almost feel like having a bunch of them in an army is cheating, but I don't care ... the AI can go sod itself. :tongue:
  24. Re: Mod question: How can I reduce the probability of those Extreme Blizzard events?

    As far as I know, there aren't any units in the game that are immune to extreme-blizzard attrition. If there are, I haven't encountered them yet.
