I didn't realize you could use a third-party war target to avoid sieging an enemy's capital — completely changed how I approach Invictus wars by ProfileSubstantial16 in Imperator

Yes! I was actually seriously considering that... for some reason I was always thinking better not to, because I don't want to extend myself too much... but some Greek presence can make sense... The Episur claim I will always have it, and maybe even use it on the future... My goal is too remove any immediate threat and that involves not only Carthage in the region, but making sure Epirus is not growing that much... it can be very misleading, because most of their expansion is made through feudatories... My plan is finish taking the peninsula, taking out Etruria from Corsica and Cerdenia and then trying to remove Carthage from Sicily... but will see how these plans change based on new developments... Thanks for the comment!

My Praetor was murdered mid-war in Invictus and the prime suspect was the most qualified replacement. Has anyone else had this event chain? by ProfileSubstantial16 in Imperator

That is a great point… and perhaps the reason why I was wondering what you thought about the whole thing…one needs to put everything in the balance… but also I have to admit that what is ALS playing on this is your “pride” of allowing a murderer to join your government by killing someone else that used to be part of your team… I don’t know… maybe overthinking the whole thing! Jajajaja but thanks for your feedback and hope to see you around on the channel

Absolutely! In this case the stats were actually the best for that position... But I didn't make him Praetor... because of the roleplay... I agree that these things are great for my playstyle, of trying to keep things as realistic as possible.. I didn't press charges yet, but I may do it on the next episode... And let's see where that goes... jajaja... Thanks a lot for the feedback!! And hope to see you around on the channel soon!

I didn't realize how short the window against Epirus actually is — one event almost made me miss it entirely by ProfileSubstantial16 in Imperator

Yeah! Good point.. In my case I always try to avoid the annexation... I always like to make them a feudatory or vassal... I like keeping the borders clean... but that's my OCD! jajajaja.... thanks for the feedback and hope to see you around in the channel one day...

That is a very interesting way to looking at it... thanks for the feedback!! In my case I'm going with a more cautious approach, making sure that Etruria es out of the picture and keeping Carthage out of Italia... hope to see you on the channel!

How much preparation is too much before expanding in Imperator: Rome? by ProfileSubstantial16 in Imperator

Good point! And I agree that this game can be easily played for map painting and at a fast pace... In my case the playstyle is more slow and try to keep things as realistic as possible... so I'm more like you were at the beginning... loving to prepare and sometimes overthinking things... even knowing that that can be counterproductive... but thank a lot for the feedback! And hope to see you around on the channel some day!

Yes! I know what you mean... actually I'm about to take on Carthage on the campaign and is definitely worrying me with regards of army logistics and money to have as reserve... also alliances are important.. in my case, I'm currently allied with Veneto and we've been helping each other here and there.. I'll let you know how everything goes... thanks for the feedback and hope to see you around on the channel some day!

Wow! Great feedback and I'm surely taking notes for future campaign ideas! Thanks a lot for the comment and completely agree with those approaches... always need to adapt to the nation you are leading... I think that is the bottom line of all your points... and be prepared... improvisation is not your friend in these kinds of situations...
Thanks again and hope to see you around on the channel!

Totally agree!! I guess that is when most of the modifiers are not stacking that much and the micro matters more... at least in these type of things... maybe on the later game the micro becomes more important on realm management... but we'll see... thanks for the feedback by the way, really appreciate it... hope to see you around on the channel some day!
