ROME H/H (BI) CAMPAIGN: REPORT 1

I have started a new campaign with the romans on HARD/HARD as i know you need the rebelion testing. As of yet i am along way from that stage but i thought i would give you a update of my campaign as this information may be useful.

ECONOMY

So far my economy has been strong and i have been able to make lots of legions, but not too many. I have built many of the economy buildings as well which has strengthened my economy even further.

EMPIRE

I have spread further up north into northern italy, also took hold of all of sicily, and made my move into africa, trying to stop the constant attacks from Carthage.

I did however lose emporiae and Dyrachium early on in the game as i couldnt defend them due to the Capua rebellion.

As for the rebellion i thought it was really good for the start game, i havent played the roman campaign since that addition and it certainly made the early game a lot more difficult. I thought against both hannibal and the Rebels for a good 5 years, losing lots of men as my troops were less experienced. I eventually killed hannibal when he wandered past ariminium on his own without a army.

Overall i have consolidated my centre and allowed the far out colonies slip away as it would of cost too much to keep them.

ARMY COMPOSITION

I generally have:

2 General
10 Republican Cohorts
4 Triari
2 Cavalry Units (Depending on Area)
2 Missile Units (Depending on Area)

In carthage i couldnt get Triari so i brought in more missle and Cavalry units.

I have 6 legions in combat which look like this:
