Century X’s Personal House Rules to Roma Surrectum
1. Use Century X’s Auxilia Legion System
2. No retraining of cohorts once on campaign(Only retrain them after the war)
3. Avoid Bridge Battles
4. Never use Cheats
5. Never exterminate a city. Always put them into slavery. Show Mercy
6. Only Exterminate cities if they have rebelled against you.
7. No training of whole armies in newly conquered cities.
8. Do not recruit more than 1 legion of the same name
9. Only recruit 10 Republican Legions.
10. Only recruit 10 VE legions.
11. Recruit any number of Auxilia Legions.
12. No reloading of saved games.
13. Always give the AI an advantage.
14. No bribing of cities.
15. No Bribing of Armies.
16. No bribing of family members.
17. Play on Hard/Hard or Hard/Medium.
18. Use Auxilia legions to patrol your republic.
19. No Rushing, no blitzkrieg tactics.
20. No Multi war fronts. Meaning, do not invade Macedon and Carthage and Gaul at the same time.
21. Always go to battle with a real legion. No going into battle with 11 Principes, 9 triarri and a general. Use the proper compositions of legions.
22. Premarius legions Compositions: 5 Hastati, 5 Princepes, 5 Triarii, 2 Velites, 2 Cavalry, 1 General.
23. Republican and Imperial legions composition: 1 General, 1 1st cohort, 9 cohorts, 6 Auxilia units(4 light Infantry Cohorts, 2 Light Auxilia Cohorts(Missile), 1 Archer Auxilia, 22 Legionary Cavalry.
24. Auxilia Legion Composition: 1 General, 9 Auxilia Light Cohorts, 5 Light Auxilia Infantry (Missile), 3 Archer Auxilia, 2 Legionary Cavalry.
25. After you conquer a city. Destroy all production buildings and temples.
26. No sinking of enemy armies in boats.
27. Use Roman Tactics on the battle field. (I understand some users don’t know how to use proper tactics) But if used properly it adds a form realism into the game.
28. Expand Historically as possible.(Don’t go off and invade Egypt from the start or Greece)
29. Use governors to govern your cities. DO NOT USE family members(Only when there at an old age and retired)
30. Use Force Diplomacy Mod only to end a war. (Example: You fight Gaul off the European Continent and they still have cities in Britannia send a diplomat to them and end the war) Do not use it to gain advantages over the AI. Its already Stupid
31. Use the Free people to use as buffer zones between factions. Always works for me.
32. If you recruit a pre marius legion or Ve legion in the city of Ariminum then that is the city where it is retrained. This goes for all the rest of the legions you make and there corresponding cities. This for me creates more unity to your legions. You know where they come from and who they are.(I use Excel to organize it all as well as writing down where each Governor is and what city he is Goveroring)
33. When Sieging a city. Maximum number of turns to starve them is 4 turns. We all know the AI will barely send troops to relieve them so give them a break and attack the city.
Well I follow these rules to the letter. And it makes it alot more fun for me. I just wanted to share this with you fellow Roman Players
Any questions are Welcomed
