This is simple and very good game. There is a little hint you may find amusing. Conquer all lands, but leave Egypt for the end. Then when you finally attack Egypt, you will talk with Cleopatra. Well dont go to battle, but make alliance with her. Then she will ask you to set the tax level for her people, and you set the lowest one. Use this "good will" talking and answers. You will find yourself on a party with her as you are now masters of the world, and as you speak wisely, you will get Cleopatra in the bed )
Try it if you don't belive it.

look at line (or how it's called?) and you'll see that some part of it's is red and other is white. you'll also notice a collum. that collum show's where you are (left or right) and red part is where you can't be (notice that it starts from left and raises then you speed up). Now then you start the race go as far right as possible and speed up as much as possible. then go as far left as you can (don't cross red line!). then you turn right, turn left and you keep still. keep this position until last lap. you might be far away from everyone else, but you have an advantage. that's right! they're exhausted, and you have 1,80 horsepower! go as far left as possible and keep speeding up (no matter if you're enemies were behind before attacking horses). You'll possibly win. if not, keep trying. if you never suceed, don't play that time!

Hey Guys, I've read all the post here and now I wonder, is it really just me?

I used to play this game when I was a kid, but back then I didn't think about changing difficulty levels, and finishing this game on the easiest one is, I agree, a very simple task.

Now I'm back to the old world and I switched to "legionaire", the second level. People in this forum are telling me this would be still easy, but I can't seem to advance to the point where you are powerful.


1) I conquer alpes.
2) I conquer Narbonensis and get promoted to centurio.
3) My second army attacks Germany.

This is as far as I get at legionaire... Right after reaching this point, the first barbarian armies spawn. Usually they come from across the sea, so I get my 2 armies to Italy and defend against the intruders.

I am still centurio at that stage, no horses, no chance! The intruders have war elephants and sqash my first army easily. My second wins (with a lot of effort...).

And then, one round or two after that, the next marauder comes in. From now on all I can do is protect myself until finally I'm destroyed.


How you guys do that??? I'm pretty experienced in strategy but this is just not possible...

PS: I tried the melee trick too, but it didn't work, the 8 horses swarmed my troops and soon enough I was running away.

you must have used fine tuning (turn different settings on differently. for example: chariot race on emperor and fighting on leggionaire) if you turned aggresivenes to maximum no wonder you have those problems. how did i played you ask? well, these armies didn't attack me. so without opposition, i have no enemies, and it's easy (still lose though).

Old thread, but this issue seems to have raised a lot of questions, so here is an answer.

Many people have inquired how to ally with Cyrenaica. Basically, you need to lose some territories and then regain them in order to make them ally with you. This is what works for me so far:

By "losing a territory" I mean losing it to a marauding army. Losing it due to rebellions does not seem to work for me.
The territories must not be ones that are wealthy, or ones that have Fierce soldiers. If you lose one of these territories, Cyrenaica will be unwilling to ally with you, even if you regain it immediately. Usually, I try to lose and regain the mediocre territories close to Italia (such as Alpes, Dalmatia, and Narbonensis), which will not make Cyrenaica refuse me.
After you lose each territory, you must move in an army and regain it immediately.
You must lose (and regain) 2-3 territories in this fashion.
The interval between territory losses must not be too long (I'd say 2 turns to be on the safe side).
You must march into Cyrenaica very shortly after you have lost and regained your second or third territory.
The command sequence with Cyrenaica is Friendly - Friendly - Offer Alliance - Low. As mentioned in another comment, if the response to your first command is something like "We welcome our fellow brigand. We are as brothers" this means you are on the right path.

Additional requirements:

You must march in with at least a Cavalry-sized army.
You need some rank (worked for me with General rank).
You need at least some victories against high-quality opponents (such as Carthago, Macedonia, or Parthia) before Cyrenaica (or any other country, for that matter) is willing to ally with you.
