Dude that is FAST indeed!!! The Marius reforms we're calculated to be @646 ab urbe condita.. (read it somewhere on this forum)

According to this I have cataphracts(roman ala unit) before The Marian reforms.

There isn't a city in Ireland?

Like I said before - in roman campaign, nope.

[Romulus Belisarius Julius]

All right, time for some hellenistic empire: The Great Ptolemaic Empire of East, Greece and Rome! Hail to brave Marines - Conquerors of Rome! The Empire made by Ptolemy the IVth who looked at his empire and died on heart attack

0 or 1 turn?

[Romulus Belisarius Julius]

0 turn. In my Roman Campaign about 5000 Parths died a turn(it was taking me for about 1h a turn in the end of the campaign)

Your generals got the Coward trait all the time, even if all they do is winning.

They fixed the way the traits are given out to your generals.

Impressive empires Romulus. Always cool to see complete dominations. Well done. May I ask if you auto resolve a lot? Or do you just have a lot of time on your hands.

I am not quite that size, but my Macedonian Empire is moving into the end game faze.

So here is what happened since my last post a few pages back. After my war against Dacia I had a few turns of rest and retraining. I was amassing forces in the east for a war against parthia, decided to take out cimbri first. They were down to a few provinces, at war with my allies Sarmatia and losing. My reason for war was to protect my allies (). Cimbri died in like 2 turns. Then it was just the eastern problems left. Ugh, horse archers. I had been prepping new armies just for that, filled with archers, cavalry and pikes.

Here is what the invasion of parthia looked like in the opening move:

Yeah, lots of heavy cavalry there. The battle for Dura Europus was bloody, but I broke through. After that I've been rolling over their captured Seleucid holdings, they've got a second army regrouping in the mountains (can't recall the city name on the top of my head).

But the situation was complicated when Sarmatia decided to backstab me. I was sorta prepared for it, and had lots of reserves in case of that. The army that invaded Parthia was only a third of my full force... Smart move otherwise by Sarmatia, wait until I was busy with parthia and then take that opportunity.

Seleucid also saw their chance, broke alliance with me and invaded. Not that it helped them much, I had enough around to deal with them too. I am about to take their last holding now.

I'm allied with Armenia, Pontus is around with a single settlement. Both will die soon.

Thanks a lot No I didn't auto-resolve much(maybe with some sigle free-people units hanging around my empire). I saw too much defeats after certain chances of victory in such situations that auto-resolves battles made me mad(200 parthians defeat 3 armies with 2500 soldiers) But a lot of time that I have is another thing In Macedon campaign southern africa and arabia are able to be conquered? That's interesting.

[Romulus Belisarius Julius]

Update my Pontic Kingdom and invade plans...

Nice one dude but I wouldn't make such long-term plans for conquering. When I usually made such in my head it mostly ends with fighting a nation in opposite side of the world So remember to be coutious

[Romulus Belisarius Julius]

Ok, this time I got back to my old Gaul campaign and made some new conquers. It isn't ended(about 40 provinces), but Rome is almost vanquished and Gaius Julius Caesar is dead There's quite a lot of people in my capital and I was amazed that there's still such a high public order.
My warcry is: When Caesar dies, his head flies! When Romans cry, we smile!

Geez is it me or 0 turn campaigns progress at very faster pace than 1 turn? 40 turns later and you're already master of Italy.

Btw, Very High taxes? Are you sure about that or you just dont care about the traits your generals get?
