The Greeks could rule the world...

[Venom]

Well, 70 provinces of it at least. Has anyone here actually conquered the whole extended map though?

[HunKiller]

i have in vanilla but ti tends to be a pain in the ass conquering the infantry heavy barbarian tribes later in the game and the esterners are a breeze

[DimeBagHo]

Wyatt did it. I think that doing it on Mundus Magnus might take a while though.

[Kara Kolyo]

well i have to admit that since i started playing xgm i haven't finished any campaign. after 30-40 turns there is new version with new units that i have to check and then there is new version again. now i started julii campaign with mm and i'll try to get all legions named, not sure that i'll manage to do it but i'm gonna try

[Zarax]

Most updates are savegame friendly, so that you can continue your campaign without problems...

[wyatt]

I don't fool around! Working on my 3rd total victory, did it with Julii in vanilla, greeks on XGM, and now working on it with Thrace on XGM.

[Venom]

I've only finished one campaign before in all the time I have played RTW and it's mods. It was as the Julii in RTW 1.1 playing on M/M, and that was a loooooong time ago. But even then I didn't conquer the whole map. I'd really like to finish another campaign, and this time take over the whole world.

[Werner]

I have never finished a campaign. The most provinces I have captured were 23, then I got bored and started a new campaign.

[Killerontheloose]

On easy I was able to take over every thing in just 2 days with juili. I think the amazons are overated, if you acutally fight the battle yourself its pretty easy (though you lose a good number of units) I've already conquerd the eastern half with greece on med.

[Werner]

The difference is that I play on H/H or VH/VH. With alot of tough battles it gets boring pretty quick. But that's just me.

[Venom]

Who are the Amazons? Aren't they those super-hot warrior babes?

[Killerontheloose]

Yeah they are north in town called theymoz(sp?)

[Juus]

Im going for the 70. Got 7 so far..

[Zarax]

If you want to have fun for longer try the new test stuff, it will make your campaign much longer...

[Juus]

Ive got Macedon down to the last province. I take it destroying them isn't a viable option?

[Zarax]

Unless you downloaded the test build you can destroy them without problems...

[Juus]

Ahh right. Thanks.

Really enjoying the Mod. I especially like the fact you put Pyrrhus in there from the start for the Greeks in the Provincial campaign - Always pays to have a military genius in your ranks - and he's youngish, which is double good.

Also the birth place names for every faction member - e.g. *** of Sparta/Corinth/Pergumun - Adds a nice touch, as I don't think this was always the case in vanilla RTW.

Have taken Thessalonica, so I'll be able to build Army Barracks in a turn or two - which means Armoured Phalangites.

[Zarax]

Well, most of the work has been made by DimeBagHo, I'm pretty much focused on the BI optimization aspects...

[Juus]

How come Cretan Archers were made weaker?

[Zarax]

Now you can recruit the basic ones and the picked ones one level after...
