Ancient Empires DEI Rome campaign tipsa

I'd like to think of myself as a decent TW player. However, I cannot make any progress as Rome with this mod. The amount of troops Carthage starts with compared to how many you start with, added with how fast they can recruit is just ridiculous. They can send troops from Carthage to Sicily within the same turn. What are some strategies you have done for this campaign?

make peace with syracuse immediately, they will take it without problem, that cuts off carthage invading southern Italy, then defend your sea borders for a few years. Once things calm down mass up an invasion force and cut off their bases at corsica, sardinia and Sicily. Once that is done you can invade relatively easily.

Tried that. However, after focusing on nothing but my economy I still wasn't really making any money even without doing any recruiting. Also I seem to have issues with this mod...Carthage doesn't care about military access. For instance in another campaign attempt I liberated all of Sicily and Carthage still kept 2 full stacks just hanging out on other people's land.

OP is talking about the Rome 2/DEI version of the mod.

That isnt a mod issue, more a Rome 2 issue

don't worry, i'll be shouting to the heavens and whoever else cares to hear when AE is released.

Tried again with this damn mod. Captured all of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica plus another town in northern africa that I liberated. Still couldn't get peace with them and Epirus eventually declared war. Ridiculous.

That being stated, I like some of the units, I just never get a chance to use them.

Edit: Changing the handicap settings in PFM so they don't just spam full stacks every turn has certainly made it more enjoyable.
