    Iam playing the Roman Campaign with hard mode on.


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    First I conquered the north of Italy, but as soon as possible the Greek betrayed me =\. So I went to massa-recruit in my cities in the south and invaded the Greek areas. In my campaign the Greek became a terrifying power. They eaten up all territory of the Spartans and start conquering lands in Asia. So I decided to make this nation number one on my list of futuric defeated nations.

    In mid-game I had to deal with Carthage. I used the tactic of scorched earth and destroyed Carthago's epic harbor and that has given me the ultimate supremacy on sea. Very weird since the Romans weren't really sailors, but my fleets keeps being strong and I can block all of the ports of my enemies if they declare war on me.

    Carthage kept horrifying me with stacks. But they had to give up after I sent my massive Roman First German Legion into the battlefield ! But I had to send them back to Arretium since they suffered so many losses. (auto battle ).

    And my campaign in Asia went further. Pergamon backstabbed me and I had to thrust barbarian troops. I decided to rush and capture their capital and their strength was descreased immediately .
    I quickly have turned Pontic into my allies and the Ptolemaic Empire as well. But the last one seems to backstab me too so I constantly have to use Forced Diplomacy to keep it realistic.

    Then I encountered the Gaellaci. I have known they were very strong since I met them before already. But now they became my neighbours. And believe me, they didn't want to stay on friendly mode. I turned Carthage into a Protectorate... Wrong thing since they give me around 30,000 Denarii... So my economy of 90,000-100,000 per turn, which I have built up in a long time, raised up to 170,000 per turn... I really have no clue of the extra 40,000 Denarii, but this makes me sad.

    But that wasn't the only thing that made me sad. The Belgae and Arvernii decided to kick my ass and invade italy. I tried to thrust my barbarian army, but they just... they just... fled in battle... So I have decided to never thrust any barbarian rubbish troop anymore . And as soon I as I got managed to raise a Roman army, a pure Roman army, I have kicked them out of Italy and they were so scared that they decided to make a ceasfire (with the help of FD ofcourse ).

    But that wasn't the only two things that made me sad. There is another thing: the GALLAECI!
    I have been sending spies and assassins for years to destroy all of their Great Halls and barracks but that didn't block them of creating 10 stacks... I have 4 enemy stacks around Carthago Nova at the moment and the only thing that prevents them of conquering Rome is FD...

    But how do you like my Empire ?

    Imperium Romanum at 564.
    I've got about 6 legions and am at war in Gaul, Hispania and Macedonia. Plus those rebellions. It's tough.

    The Greek statesmen seem to be quite fond of my lands.

    Playing as Capua 4TY I've managed to completely push Rome out of Italy and my northern front is holding on for dear life against the Arvini. I just took a break about an hour ago and the far western city and all 4 northern cities, the ones bordering Arvini, are under siege and I might lose some if not of them as I have no standing army within 2 turns and if they built siege engines the next turn they're done

    I have all cities in Northern Italy within 1 turn from the besieged cities with troops qued up which is why my money is so low. Currently averaging 75k/turn. They took me completely by surprise.

    As for the picture, I was rapidly scrolling across the map before the Arvini came knocking and almost passed Mt Vesuvius in all its glory. I was seriously like "What the...!" before I took a closer look. Pretty cool watching it erupt then sputter out and just smoke for awhile.

    It looks good as it is. Everyone has its own preferences, though.

    Did you not see the request from DVK to stop with the single line responses? If you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything.

    P.s yes I know that is single line response.

    I will refrain from posting in that manner from now on.

    Thank you for making me aware of my problem.
