Man this game is hard

[MithradatesVI]

I am excited at how hard it is- I am playing the adverni and have a war on three fronts with Carthage, Rome, and the Sweboz. In fact...there's no way i can really win, as i'm already deep in the hole.

First time ever i've had a game where i couldn't win.


Next try: Baktria, or Casse

Yes, this is definately a ball buster of a mod. The AI generals always get a command bonus (stars) when they go to battle, that don't show when they are just cruising the map. I'm interested if this changes with difficulty settings (i'm playign VH,VH). That, and the AI money, makes them formidable opponents.

I do think some of the units come a bit quick, such as the Thureophoroi and the Libyan spearmen. These are as good as legionaires, and better than principes. I think these should not be available until the Romans start getting their better units. Right now, they are avialable right from the start. I don't believe the Carthagenians used troops like this to any great extent, nor the Greeks.

Both Thureopohori and Libyan forces armed in that manner were very common. The Libyans will be nerfed for the next patch though, they were very well armed but weren't great troops.

IMO, the only thing really hard about it is how hard it is to conquer a region just for the AI to bribe it back. That STINKS! (Hoping it get's fixed in another version)
