Romani Historical Expansion

[Stingray970]

I just finished a Romani campaign using blitzing tactics. This was quite fulfilling, but as you can imagine, I didn't really encounter any serious resistance.

So I figured instead of turtling in Italy for 500 years, it'd be much more fun to expand historically.

I want some tips of how to do so. What area to conquer and when. Army composition for the various era's would also be nice. What units to bring and the amounts. (I could admittedly probably figure out Camillan and Polybian, but I want to be sure)


Any additional historical information you can provide would be great, but I don't need it.

I use these as my guide when playing Romani, though I don't like conquering stuff in a strict order. Instead, I do slow expansion in the direction of eleutheroi regions (those which are coastal ones actually) and fight those factions that attack me (and I can make them attack me, if I want them to )

I just expand in Regional Order, not chronological. Say its Italy--->Spain--->Gaul etc

*puts on top hat and fancy mustache* well gentlemen i enjoy expanding erratically until i am defeated or rome has 500 people left...

Its nigh impossible to lose with Rome.
