I just got wiped out...

...And I couldn't be happier!

Romans, 200bc(around that time) VH/VH

I got crushed in from all sides. Carthage in the west, Greece in the south, Macedon in the east and Gaul in the north.
I'm actually very happy because I haven't lost a campaign since I got into a big war with Persia on RS1.5a so ya, cool that you could do that

I like good challenges!

Only question I really have is why does the AI concentrate on the player so much? I mean, even at the game start most of the factions had me on their enemy list. Kind of made it hard to gain trade rights and meant I got attacked randomly. Yes, it's fun to hold off so many enemies, but I doubt its that accurate. I'm sure at the time of SPQR campaign start that 90% of the world had better things to do than worry about a rising republic in Italy.

well this game isn't made for acuracy but rather the challenge, it is deliberate that most factions will focus on you. As to trade rights, the game is balanced to assume that you won't get them so don't bother as it's not worth it and can lead to issues with how LT (SPQR maker) balanced stoped the nations from detroying one another.

Also the game is made to be suffiecntly difficult at m/m, you might scoff at that, but SPQR has NEVER had anyone achieve at a higher level.

Welcome to what many consider the most challenging RTW mod around

Yeah, just try it on M/M and once you complete the game on that level, try harder

Hmm, I'll go try M/M then

I might make battles to H as I did totally destroy Hannibal in just 2 battles on VH settings. Though it was more a lucky move, his elephants ran back at his own line and caused about 25% casualty before the battle lines clashed. But yeah, if you say so, M/M it is!

Thanks for info
