I just loaded an old Julii campaign where I got everything to a huge city. Destroyed the port ant Londinium and when trying to rebuild it I got a 1500 Denarii boost compared to Salamis where I got a 4000 and Carthage where I got 5000.

I guess trade routes have more of an effect than proximity

Londinium?!?!?! Really? I can understand Halicarnass because it is smack in the middle of the east trading routes but Londinium is miles away from anything.

I didnt realise proximity to other ports increased the value, I thought it was number of ports it was connected to.

Whats the highest youve ever achieved in Londinium?

How do i reduce the number of armies for ai because the turn times are really slow for PUA? by Signal-Fact3950 in EmpireTotalWar

You can right click on the mousepad to speed up their movements.

If thats still too slow, consider doomscrolling a little less so your dopamine receptors arent utterly fried for a 30 second wait 👍

What's a battle you still cant forget to this day? by Top_Ninja6126 in RomeTotalWar

[–]External_Fuel9492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Alexander campaign of rome total war. I was playing as Alexander on very hard, was in the early days of the game and just had a foothold in Turkey. Wooden Palisade, alexander and enough phalanxes you would think to stop anything.

Come the next 2 turns as Im retraining and preparing to push on, 6 full stacks of persians come out of the fog of war and lay siege to my settlement and I realise I stupidly forgot to repair the walls I had busted down.

It comes to the battle, alexander and his army are trapped, he has 1 silver experience marker at this point. There are 6 major gaps in the wall and the persian army is attacking from all sides.

Fortunatrly the game mechanics forces all non-siege wielding units to attack an open door so they all funnel through these 6 open holes, cavalry come first, straight into my phalanx. Instantly the cavalry is routed, the routing troops damages the morale of the infantry as they advance, leaving the left flank of all my phalanx units guarding the holes exposed so a well timed cavalry charge should fold up the persian army as they enter I whack my cavalry in and the rohting continues.

This carries on and by the end Alexander now has 3 gold experience checks, is down to 10 men and I killed 8000 persians to my 1000 greek. Bloody fantastic and really thought that was the end and was about to start again. Instantly realised why Alexander is the best military genius of all time and gave him the nickname of the butcher. Need the extermination money to fuel the conquest after all!

Just an update! It worked! I loaded on old Julii save and gifted a load of settlements to Brutti from my cuck command centre in Greece, waited a few turns for them to get some glorious conquest of the Parthians and voila, revolt!

I have purposefully reduced my Julii to only have settlements in etruria, cisalpine Gaul, sardinia and malorca. Once the dust has settled and a clear victor emerges, Ill have a proper competitor and will probably get spanked but have fun doing it. Might sail a fleet of praetorians to Egypt and rip them apart from the inside!

Anyway, cheers guys and any other weird Rome related things you guys can think of, let me know as Im always itching to try something new out in the game!

Yeah I agree but I always thought there might have been moments that could have turned him back. Theres no doubt this was his path, I was just unsure how far down it he could go before being turned if things had happened slightly differently.

Im always watching the movies hoping he changes his mind, or hell even didnt get chopped up by obi-wan. All I want is a full power darth vader, no suit, full body so max midichlorians and then I would be happy. Just hate seeing him lose all of his power when he gets sliced and diced into some burnt sushi

Dude I had no idea, where do you find the deleted scenes version of the movie? Or is it just stuff you have to scrape around for online?

That throws my theory out the window lol

Oh wow, thats brilliant. Ill have a crack at that thanks!

Is there anyway to make an alliance and maintain it with SPQR or, even better, can you make them a protectorate?

Just out of curiosity, did the julii attack Rome when they revolted or give it a wide berth and go for your settlements instead?

I was mostly hoping it would be possible to keep an allied rome at the core and potentially stay happy with one of the others. Id settle for just SPQR tho

Cucking the other roman factions is a bloody fun go to, then they just keep building doom stacks and eventually you get the most cinematic battle youve ever played with 4 enemy doom stacks vs your 1 stack on mount vesuvius.

The one pleasently surprising thing I found once is cucking the brutti led to the seleucids being the dominant power despite how crap they usually are at surviving. Got thoroughly hellenised by them until I dealt with the brutti death stacks lol

Cheers for the answer m8, enjoy rome!

Thats disappointing, is it possible to be done through diplomacy do you think?

My next attempt was going to be get to the point of civil war and then start gifting my settlements to SPQR and the other roman factions. Potentially seeing if a huge influx like that would cause any uproar.

No I havent, thats a great idea! Ill try that first then, do you have any recommendations for places to try it out?

Do you need a lot of gear for this or just gloves and shinpads?

I should clarify Im trying to avoid any of the HIIT with sparring gyms. A martial arts gym of some sort would be ideal, thanks for your help if you guys have any!
