ROME TOTAL WAR

i would suggest getting a night fighter to deal with the barbarian hordes, works like a charm.

Rome Total War is STILL the best game out.

Wanted to share some funny jokes about RTW which I just read.

You're addicted to RTW when ....

you say "this land is Roman" when having sex.

you go to the zoo hoping to make elephants run amok.

you demand that your school teacher becomes your protectorate after he/she gives you a detention.

you call your boss behind his back "That bastard SPQR".

you realize you're demanding that the opponents be enslaved and taken back to your capital after your national team is victorious in a soccer match.

When having sex, you insist on charging the rear.

you told Italy to form a testudo when Zidane headbutted one of the players.

you try and convince your parents to "make more heirs", because you are an only child.

you try and convince your wife or husband to "make more heirs", just because.

The latest version of Europa Barbarorum has been released (get it here).

This is IMHO, the best mod for RTW at the moment, it makes a few significant changes to gameplay as well as adding a wealth of new units and improving others. It even has speech makeovers for the units, so that the Romans sound Roman (even if it isn't totaly accurate, some factions that are generic use reconstructed languages), so that th ewhole feel of battle is better.

Those of you who played 0.74 can read up about the changes/improvements here

I use it more then the need to gain money. When you fight rome you know the AI will throw endless amount of men at you. So I do a little hit and run to keep him off guard and force his army back to italy to retake things. I dont take their cities to hold but I leave them with little capabilities when I'm done. Before you know it your facing militia instead of imperial cohorts because he is far behind trying to rebuild.

Yes most buildings you can destroy. Where you see the buildings currently in the city. Click on it and an info box should come up. If you look in the left corner you'll see a raise(i think) or demolish button. You can knock down most of the economical and military stuff. Just not walls,streets, City upgrade(imperial palace etc) and farms I think.

Originally posted by Gundamor Originally posted by Penelope So what factions have you all conquered with so far?      I've never really conquered the whole world. Once I get to a certain point where I'm unstoppable I restart. Usually around 70-80 percent of the map taken. With the TE mod i've acomplished this on VH/H with Ptolemies,Rome,Macedon,Greek States,Germania, and Scythian. I'm currently on a Iberian campaign and is a somewhat easy time so far as I've taken all of present day Spain and I just sacked Carthago. I might start a Numidian campaign though if Rome cant challenge me in the field with this campaign.
