Which to be honest was in 2005 now that I think about it.īy biggest beef with RTR of late is that the small factions (Iberia, Numidia, Pontus, Thrace, mostly) tend to get swallowed up really quickly. Sounds like EB has moved on a lot since I last looked. Like I said, it's just better in every respect. Oh yes and the battles look better, play better, and have more historical units and are just more interesting. Instead he ended up being an elitest snob and bookworm who everyone hated! I thought, excellent, he'll be wise and smart. However, I had another son who became a philospher and started mixing with poets, biographers and wise men. He took to schooling and became a decent well rounded fellow, mixing with his cousins in the capital and going to war in India. If I hadn't sent him to school or at least out of the city he would have been "corrupted" by his father (although he already had mostly the same base stats). His parties were legendary as was his mistresses. The father was smart and rather disloyal, racking up traits like seditious and welcoming to foreigners.

I needed to move one son right away to the capital, since his father was governor of a larger northern town. When I was playing the Bactrians I sank lots of my money into building a great academy of learning, my plan was to train up the younger sons for 4 years. But each stat is rated 1-6 so you can never know exactly how good or bad they are. Each person has 6 statistics, and get a rough idea how smart or loyal they are etc. For a start the way they handle family trees is so complex and detailed it's almost like a mini rpg.

If you're still short on provinces, conquer poorly defended Carthaginian cities, starting with Caralis on the nearby island of Sardinia.I can't really describe how cool EB can be.If necessary, ally with the Germans for help against the British - but keep an eye out for poorly defended German towns, which may be your final couple provinces.Do not blockade Londinium until the Senate offers you a reward for doing so. Blockading ports will greatly weaken the Briton economy, but if you're struggling with finances you may want to stick to land for the short campaign. Naval warfare in this area is dangerous.Recruit more missile troops to wear them down before they charge. The Britons' chariot has a terrible effect on your morale.Make them your next target, keeping the following in mind: In most games, the Britons will have a substantial presence on the continent by now, and will likely attack you even if you attempt to ally yourself with them.
#Rome total war realism full
Once Gaul is defeated, your cities are relatively happy, and your armies are back up to full strength, all you need to do is conquer provinces until you have fifteen of them.
