Your Imperator II Empire...

**madtomic** · October 08, 2006, 09:34 AM

I thought I'd like to see how is everyone doing in their Imperator II.

My settings hard/hard, huge army and with true roman expansion and house rules enforced.

Imperator II Patch v1.4

These towns came under the rule of the roman empire.

Corfinium - 279BC
Tarentum - 278BC
Croton - 270BC
Ariminum - 267BC
Paestum - 265BC
Arretium - 262BC
Rhegium - 261BC

Empire at 258BC

Without adding own money cheat, that's the usual stance for normal players. Basically the money stops going negative by 270 BC and will be again back in black around 260 BC...

My economic is pretty stable. This is all purely through trades and taxes. I don't like cheats or plan to use any. I didn't see that negative impact you are saying around 260BC. Maybe my growing economic knocks it out? I did however had troubles in the first few years. But after I taken over the towns of Corfinium and Tarentum the economic bounce back. Population growth was my first priority.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Western Style"

For the glory of Rome!

This screenshot is from the Summer of 133 BC.
It's not my most current campaign screenshot.
I've taken Carthago Nova and Saguntum recently.
After this screenie, I've also taken the farthest, old Sarmatian settlement in the Northeast, but I can't hold it regardless of how large my garrisson is and how small the population is (I exterminated them, repeatedly).
Baetica repeadly switches hands with Carthage, the Iberians, and Rebels due to revolts... caused by my agents.

I've stopped my advance since I need to consolidate and build up my provinces.
Waiting on the Imperial Reforms!

Okay, I modified my reply with 2 links, including a 2nd one to Imageshack.

**Imperator-2** · October 11, 2006, 07:06 AM

now I can see it! NICE EMPIRE!

edit- by the way, what difficulty are you on?

**Warmaker** · October 11, 2006, 08:05 PM

Campaign Hard
Battles Medium

I wanted some extra money for the AI factions. But I don't want external, cheesey combat bonuses for either side, hence Medium on the Battles.

Here it is. Not much I say. The only time I can actually play, not just testing and clicking end turns to see if any more error encountered....

I though I can divert Carthage attention to mainland Italy by taking Aleria from them... How true I am and now those I think are the fourth waves of reinforcement send from Carthage to retake Aleria from me...

I'm in 259 BC now. I play Tribunis/Tribunis (guess it is hard/hard but not sure).
My empire has all Italy (without Sicily and up to the Pô river), Aleria, Olbia, Massilia.
While developping the south in order to invade Sicily, I'm expanding to the north. The Macedonians have just offered an alliance and map information. They're still in Greece so far

When I started, I kept 1 stack in Italy and sent the other one to Olbia to use that settlement as back up if necessary. Then I brought that stack back to Italy to fight Epirus.
The 1st strange thing is that Carthage didn't invade me but started to conquer Italy by the south, helping me against Epirus by the way.
Once Epirus vainquished, they declared war against Rome and I pushed them out from the peninsula

The 2nd strange thing now is that the Numidians have disembarked 2 full stacks in Olbia and are attacking me

I didn't expect that and most of my armies are in north of Italy. I can't see how to save Olbia.
Now, I have to change all my strategy

Very good games, full of surprises. I will try to insert maps to show my empire.

I don't understand why this thread has moved to the RTR Platinum forum, I think this ought to be returned to the Imperator forum.

**Lifthrasir** · February 17, 2010, 09:47 AM

As promised, here is my little empire. I'm in winter 251 BC.

Since last post, Olbia was taken by the Numidians. I took it back 1 turn later by sending a complete stack and winning a heroic battle

The Numidians sent an small stack in Aleria and a full one in Olbia again but I had time to re-train the rest of my stack who conquered back that town. As they were sending an other stack with their fleet, I managed to sink it before they disembark

So far, their 2 stacks already disembarked don't attack but force me to keep these towns with several units. In parallel, I sent a spy in Sicily, in order to discover the island and let me prepare the invasion but I need more money

Mean while, I keep trying to expand by the north and I just took Patavium from the Gauls. I also trying to develop the other cities to get more money and so, more armies.
I think I really need to develop the north of Italy in order to prepare the Macedonians arrival, even if they're my allies. I don't trust them.
