Rome: Total War

Seleucids, for having the most diverse army, and the most interesting position.
( you fight against interesting opponents, not barbarians ).

cant remember exactly cause i havent played in a couple of months but cities that look like they are losing money are not actually. Especially if they contain a high troop count.

Make sure you have good management in the city, it make a difference(beware of negative vices aswell). Upgrades probably help also.

i think it depends on how big you want the city to get. If you want a city to get a certain size and take advantage of upgrades, then you need the population to get their. I agree, extermination seems a good option. The people are not as restless and squalor isnt as bad.
I rarely used slavery.

     is there a way...any way at all...to revive a settlement's economy of -7000?

Only me who likes to play as germania? they have a good starting position with easy regions to the east. but you will have to face the gauls and the julii sooner or later. the german unit types fit perfectly with my battle tactics: long line of spear warband to hold the enemy in place, while the gothic/barbarian/noble cavalry runs and attack them from behind

yes that is a big one.

Hope to get back to it sometime, been playing a modded MTW again.

anyway, here it is. patch

which mod? MedMod, it is my favortie MTW mod. It was fun going back to MTW for a campaign. I really like this time, and napolean era also.

I think the next one im going to play is the XL mod if i can find the time.

It is suppose to be the best MTW mod right now.

Tem, you could probably play this if you flip the language files in the Loc folder.

I go for the Romans. Go Brutii Go!!!

I had won with the Brutii in short champaign mode. I had conquered the Greeks. I don't mean to insult any one if they are insulted by me conquering the Greeks. It's just a game. A fun one in fact.

true, fathers and sons should be switched.

white dragon, should yours not be rhymes? Even taking middle english or rhythm it does not add. Variant?
