Sounds like fun. Will try it out! Edit: My first impressions. - Starting army way to small. Takes forever to get enough forces to conquer a single region. - Leaders seem to be dying EVERY turn. Don't believe i ever had a general on an army for more the a turn or 2. Also faction leaders died very oft...

Hey all, I don't know if it has been done yet (and i know it is not the main objective of the game), but I wanted to see if a world conquest was possible! I am abandoning the game now, so I thought I share what I had accomplished. The reason i'm abandoning the game is two fold.... The first and most...

Oke, think i figured it out.. You are referring to the Zealot barracks you got from the event right? I went back to my old saves and looked at what i could build... 1. Only a Zealot barracks doesn't do anything. 2. A Zealot barracks and a training ground unlocks Phalanx, Hvy Inf and Zealots. 3. Only...

To recruit zealots you need the zealots barrack,s a Tier II military structure, which has a prerequisite of a Synagog, a tier II religion which is an upgrade of the worship place...
I've gotten plenty in my judea campaign.. but truth be told.... zealots are lousy units...

Some goverment tiers, like Young Empire don't have any aging penalty.. that's probably it... So you could stay in that tier for ever if you manage to not to have +5 or -5 tokens and never suffer aging... In reality this is quite difficult cause without aging you likely have a good ratio and will be ...

The picture ingame only lists the changes... the strategy guide lists the building.. the difference is the quarry already present in the province...
So for infrastructure the large quarry adds an additional 6 infra for example..

thz for the reply Pocus... let me see if i get it right... I have a region with only Iranian pops (lets say 10 pops all unrest 8 ). I'm playing Judea and have a national modifier of -30% conversion. I assume only one pop at a time is converting(or is the conversion checked every turn for every pop?)...

Hey all, question... Does anyone know the nitty gritty of how Ethnicity conversion actually works? There are buildings which modify at "of current rate" but i can't find the base rate anywhere and what it depends upon... I have the feeling that culture output factors in somewhere, but does...

Oh cool. I knew legions could build a Public Works for money, but didn't know they could do the Regional Roads :) The best part for me is that they also can build Paved Roads... Since Paved Roads are Commercial their chance to pop up is quite small. Having a legion do the work makes it sooo much fa...

Sorry, but i disagree... the fleet number might be high compared to army numbers, but they in no way interact. A 400 fleet is "only" 16 warships... not even heavy warships. That is a decent amount in the Greek seas where naval dominance is paramount... If Egypt cranks out a decent amount o...

Pretty sure it is just Public Works and at least two additional T1 infrastructure buildings. That is a different thing. The question was about the ability of Roman Legions to build roads, not the ability for a region to build roads :) In case you are not aware of what is being discussed: A roman ar...

I played a Scythia campaign myself, and they are in sort of the same mess... What I did was full out war! Conquer the Sarmatians, thereby getting your objectives which staves off regressing, then focus on building up while letting conquest decadence ebb away... Getting the Sarmatian Capital aswell ...

There is a bonus of having more units in the frontline like in your example.. namely flanking! Flanking is one of the most devastating effects during combat. So if you would have send along say 4 light cav they would have deployed on the wings, the skirmishers in the second line and you would have a...

I'm actually still not seeing how to gift a region to another faction. Also: how to tell what my national "Military Expertise" is? I think this was a feature patched into the game, and the manual doesn't turn up anything searching on either expertise or experience. for gifting/trading reg...

The region you can trade with slowly pulse white-ish on screen. In your example the west coast of greece, the region with honey is within trade range, the regions above it with the metal deposits (iron/copper/silver) aren't. In your screenshot your trade range is 5. So a total of 5 "hops" ...

Will do... more to come from this judea campaign

Bribing also makes for good buffer states and the ability to "sell" and "buy" regions to make a province complete/get rid of unwanted regions... In my last Rome game i bribed a few nations in the alps, killed a few and gifted their provinces to the ones i've bribed.. viola a stro...

Is the region part of a province? If so, then infrastructure and food gets moved around within the province, which will impact the amount available (for good or worse) in that region.

Hey all, I got a bug where there are units in a lake tile which don't vanish.... I control all the area around it (have been for >10 turns) still the units are there... There where a few different factions near the lake, don't know which one it is... I conquered all except one (Parthia) and they wil...
