[westy159]

Im about to install SPQR 5.0

What difficulty settings should i be on? What faction should i play as? How should i play? Any more hints/tips you can give?

I dont want to have to keep restarting my campaign cause im getting things wrong, like WRE in BI. Took me 5 tries to get the campaign to actually go somewhere.

macedon it's a pretty easy for beginners,if you know how to use phalanx!!!also try not to get in war with romans at first,build economy before attack,and use alexander's tactic use phalanx to hold off enemy force and flank them with cavalry when they get close to your pikes!also use hypaspists(sword hoplites) to protect your flanks and play campaign with battles easy and campagn very hard if you have any any question post

If your new to SPQR and want easy play M/M game. Also the mod is meant to be played as Romans, most of the other factions are easy because of the bonuses for them.

Don't be scared to use family members as generals. You will be surprised at just how much of a morale bonus generals with a bit of experience can give to a army.

BTW which faction are you playing?

[dorian_zuleta]

SPQR was made to be played as romans but playable as other factions. But romans are really fun lots of blood!!! For super tense campaign use VH/M. You'll be up to you arse in enemies.

Also, keep making armies unless you're getting an income of less than 2000. If you do that, you'll be good.

I thought you would just say the classical line: READ THE README

have a look here for a couple of battle walkthroughs (shameless plug I know!)

other than that, take some valium, start with the macedonians, keep your fingers crossed and stick with it. SPQR is a total bugger but very rewarding once you start to master it.

Another thing, do not keep reloading, first, it is basically cheating, and you'll have no fun at all because the AI will keep doing the same thing over and over until you confront them about it.
