I'll take a family member, please. :p

Give me lots of hoplites! Screw cavalry, archers and anything else useful! Hoplites and javalineers is what I want!

Good, because that's what you're getting.

This is the way you play RTW, grab on to your sides shtich and stick with it for as long as possible while barely useing anything else. That or buy lots and lots of mercenary hopilites, becouse Hopilites are monsters in this game.

Good, because that's what you're getting.

Thank you, sir.

Can I have some more please sir?

[Tarran]

Good god, the AI is absolutely retarded for charging cavalry into a phalanx.

Give me a group of Spartans when you've got the chance.

...

It says Egypt in the most advanced screenshot...

Did I set off a Total War LP boom? That's awesome. Great work, you're doing better then I was, but I think I've got stuff under control, meaning my plans aren't being constantly changed and screwed over at every turn.

You should run down the fleeing enemies when they are routed, otherwise they just regroup and attack again

[Zrk2]

Then execute them! They're only barbarians, they're not really people...

Exactly!

[Zrk2]

Yeah! I know, right? Like the Milanese dogs and the idiot Byzantines. Also, I got FRAPS working, you guys can now have images to go with the walls of text I throw up. /derail and/or shameless self promotion

Nice. My Thracian warriors shall follow you to the underworld, for the love of money!

Since they are mercenaries however, you cannot retrain them to give them their full strength. May I ask that you hire thracian scythes as soon as you find them and use them to replenish my numbers?

That was what I shall be doing.

Yeah, because a fully armoured hoplite can run down cavalry.

I'll do it when I get the chance.

EDIT: Though if they routed in the first place, it's not like they'll be much of a problem if they attack again. Our battles so far have hardly been close. (Except the first two.)

[Zrk2]

Yeah, I hate when troops regroup after you rout them fair and square. That's cheating.

[adwarf]

I will take 2 groups of archers plz

[KaguroDraven]

Where are my Spartan Hopilites? Or did they die before I could claim them?

[Akigagak]

Abusing the Red Line of TRUTH and Impassibility, I see.
