In real life, yes, they were VERY expensive.

And nobody said the game's finances are realistic, what with the whole income of the Empire coming from bets at the circus

Hi, could someone explain the pros/cons of the various land battle formations and tactics? The game's manual apparently doesn't cover them.

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.

Default Chariot acceleration

Hi,
I've a question regarding chariots. It seems to me, that my chariot accelerates slower, than do opponents. Also, accelerating by keyboard is slower, than by mouse. What is your experience?

I'm playing via DOSBOX. I've tried FreeDos in VirtualBox with same results.

Is there any way to get comparable acceleration to AI chariots, so that one doesn't have to use the go-to-the-far-right-and-rush exploit?

Exclamation Disembarkation

Have problem with isles conquest. Can't move legion from ships to land.

How it can be done? I can move ship from sea to sea, but can't understand how to move legion from ship to Britanica/Sardinia.

And the answer is: Right mouse button. To move troops from ship to land.
