few questions

[Axius]

So got the game, gold with alexander pack, so that BI aswell...

I'm pretty well versed in playing tw games, so starting from rome vanilla isn't a key thing i guess... if you guys were me what would one would you go with first?


thanks

Well Alexander is not a standard TW-game, in the way that it is much more about big battles and speed-run empire conquesting than empire-building.

But play Rome vanilla before you play BI, not only for the sake of chronology, but also because BI has some features (religion, hordes), which Rome doesn't.

guess i was smacked with too much choice from the get-go! but i shall heed your advice and carry on

I advise you to play vanilla the first time, so you have a basis of comparison.

Then use mods like Mundus Magnuns, Extended Cultures, Extended Greek Mod, and such. After that, go for Rome Total Realism.


BI is just as good as the original. The best expansion I ever saw to a game. But fails in the lack of spears (at least to me, as I like to resolve all the problems of my life with a large pike )
