Hi there, just discovered this site and that some ppl still play this good oooold game.
Just some tips i remember:
- Making alliances is good, the province starts from allied status instead of occupied, that means more taxes. Usually your army has to outnumber theirs to succeed w/ negotiations plus
use the proper order of sentences. Some countries are tricky, for Sardine, Pontus and 2 others you have to bring only a small army to show good intentions,
for Cilicia, have to plunder a province beforhand to show you are thief like them.
- On low difficulty, the game is a joke and boring, play at least on senator level.
- You can stop the battle by pressing space or enter, and then give commands to each cohort - supposed they are close enough to the general to hear him.
Anyway i found it easier to play with keys rather than mouse.
- On senator level, a cohort of yours won't stand against an enemy unit face-to-face (unless the enemy is coward), manouver and attack from a side or from back,
or from more directions simultaneously.
- Elephants grind foot soldiers in the ground, run from their path. If routed, however, they kill their own infantry as well.
