When you go to the game details (for pc from slitherine's homepage) there is no mention of GBR being a LA clone, and according to that info. there are "more than 100 of the most significant battles of the Roman Empire". Where are they? my version only came with the original LA campaigns, 6...

GBR isn't even a Legion Arena clone, it is Legion Arena with some minor adapations. The same flaws haven't been fixed and I paid $40 just to play a game I played before. (Beat GBR the second time thru only the very hard level). Now what? The general is stupid, the skimmishers don't skirmish, there a...

velites are far superior to skirmishers and very useful if upgraded properly. I have had very tough velite units take out lower level heavy infantry in rough terrain and they are excellent as back-ups to light infantry as they can fight when out of ammo, but they are nearly useless in CoM. skirmishe...

I haven't played this game in months, having figured out how to win at the hardest level. However, it certainly is very frustrating at the start of CoM and there is only one way to defeat the game that I know of. You must have a small, but very powerfull army that is a hardend, killing machine. no m...

thank you sum1won and honvedseg for the reasoned and detailed advise. certainly playing the roman campaign with a larger, but weaker per unit army, will work and is more fun than using a small, but stonger per unit army. i am wondering how it would be possible to get thru CoM with a large, but weake...

i've played thru mithras five times at the very hard level. actually, it is getting a little boring. what is your score? btw, reading skills do come in handy when attempting to master these trivial computer games.

the easiest way to get thru mithras at the very hard level is to have a very stong, small army. 1 light infanty, 4 heavy infantry, three archers (celts) and two heavy cavalry. concentrate on swordsman, armor penetration, feign, and anti-infantry specialists for all infantry. buy an much up grades as...

make sure all your infanty have master swordsman l or better, it helps to have two strong heavy cavalry to take out those nasty archers. keep all your heavy infanty in the leadership ring of the general without getting the general killed of course.

the only way i know how to play completely throught the very hard level, including Mirthras, is to be very observant and constanly correct for the stupidity of your units, especially the leader/general. otherwise, i can't think of how it would be possible to play through with a large, but weak army....
