Got round to trying this out again and found it pretty easy. If anyone is interested here's what I done and how it went:

Defensive alliances with Athens, Sparta, Knossos, Rhodes. This stops...

So in Siege defences the Enemy often sends troops out the gate now. From what I've seen this pretty much always ends badly for them and whatever gets sent out is easily massacred especially as it's...

This made a massive difference to me. I've basically doubled my FPS in larger battles by disabling them. It took a bit of getting used to not having them but now I find it more immersive and prefer...

You'll get the hang of it. It's a big change from Vanilla let alone anything else. If you can it might be worth watching some let's play's while you play. Trying another faction could be an idea...

Surely Galatia, Armenia and cappadochia are not declaring war and sending armies to you straight away? You are playing on Normal difficulty also?

Are you waiting to train units before you attack?...

So I've not played with Pontus but here's an idea of how I might go about the opening part of the game. if Galatia rise to be the dominant power then you should take them out asap. You can maybe...

Wow them screens look ace. I've been contemplating an Empire Divided campaign anyway. Think I'll download them mods and give it a look

I've not played Pontus but if you've had a few goes then you should have an idea which factions declare war on you and which don't as well as what is happening around you.

Personally I use my...

Hey Grimbold

Best bet is to start a campiagn on normal with a faction that is not too hard like Rome and try to work things out as you go.

If you are having issues with specific things then the...

Thanks for the replies. I've got some idea's now to roll with when I get round to starting another campaign. Currently playing Macedon so I guess once I finish that.

Anyone have issues with the...

Playing as Macedon now. Had forgotten how amazing Agrianian Axemen are :tongue:

I really like the AOR unit system as it is. It adds uncomplicated diversity to armies especially in the early game and also can help with invasion momentum. My only criticism is that some of the...

I had a couple of goes at Egypt on Realism and ending up at war with cyrene, Nasmones and selecids very early. This prompted Carthage, Knossos, rhodes etc to declare war aswell. I tried using Nabetea...

Realism :)

From what I remember I initially set up a client state in Consentia then held Syracuase while I built up my empire elsewhere in Cisalpina, Ilyria and Pannonia. Carthage and clients keep sending...

Some useful information in there. Thanks!

For Trade resource buildings what chain to you go with? Can you maybe post up a screenshot of a trade province?

Also I generally play on low taxes for...

Really enjoying the mod. just started my Third campaign with Sparta H/N. I got bored of my Rome (H/N) one as its getting a bit easy now, although it was very difficult at the start. I really...

Thanks for the response :)

Hey

First of all great mod. I've been playing Vanilla since release but I don't think I'll be playing anything other than DEI now ;)

So I'm in mid campaign on my first play through (as...

Thanks Alwyn. In past campaigns I've pretty much auto resolved battles against cav. archer heavy factions. Planning to play them this time round so as it's the best way I know to beat them I'll get...

very well made

good job!

My impressions after only watching once.

I really liked it however they covered a lot of history in a fast 2 hours. Even just keeping the base story they had and not adding anything historical...

Outlaw King - out today on Netflix

Having read the story of The Bruce some years ago I was really looking forward to this. It didn't disappoint however I do feel it would have been better made as...

Thanks Alwyn. Campaign is going very well for sure.

Given that my early objectives from my OP are pretty much complete now I've put together another few objectives to direct me through the next...

I've not played ROTR but on the other campaigns you just click the option 'seek spouse'. Its on the left edge of the red row and the only requirement is a gravitas cost. they should instantly be...

Hi all!


Here's a summary of what happened in Episode 3 where I was hoping to move into Greece. I was also looking to secure my northern border, gain access to the next tier of units and develop...

Episode 3 is now live.

Plan at the start was go to war with Epirus who have taken Athens

Enjoy!

Thanks for the Feedback Caillagh. point about the length noted. I really don't want to shorten them for various reasons however even if people just follow the summaries I'm happy :)

Here's a...

Thanks Alwyn. I could see the images but I was using onedrive guessing that is down to permissions. have uploaded them to an album on TWC. can anyone confirm they are showing now please?

Here's Episode 2 of my Campaign.

I was wishing to continue my good start by conquering all of Thacria as well as continue with my other 'Early Game Objectives' listed in the OP

Enjoy!

Don't worry too much about the DLC either. I have all but the last one but only actually play the Grand Campaign and all my favourite factions are available with the base game.

I'm sure I will get...

This is original and pretty cool.

Looking forward to seeing how it will work out

Hi all

Thanks Alwyn!

Very useful feedback. another point about the Agrian Axemen is that I believe they have high AP so they can be effective against tough units, like Oathsworn and Hoplites.

You have a nice easy style of story telling, a pleasure to read.
