That's against the rules.

Is it time to invade Sicily? Or does that count as part of Italy?

Full army of bull warriors except for 1 general and 1 false roman infatry? still all javelins and doesn't break the rules.
Also, Head Hurlers are my favorate unit in the game. If only there was a way to get a merc version.

I'm sure that it does not contribute to Marian reforms, and thus i would attack it.. maybe.. I'll give it a thought. (maybe even two?)

I think you already expanded too far. There's no real threat to you in all Total War games once you manage to built up an empire of a certain size. The battle AI is just too god damn retarded and easy to exploit.
I suggest you give away all provinces outside of the Iberian Peninsula and turtle there for some time so your enemies can build up more.  :P

I agree with Kolbur. I'd also like to add a new rules: No exterminating cities. Deal with the unrest.





P.S. In case you're wondering, yes I hate you for being so much better than me at RTW.

Damn, you are fast with these updates.
It's because it's not a roleplaying LP. Armenia was taking a long time, because i had to come up with some pathetic "humor" attempts, that ultimately failed, insulted everyone and left a bad taste in my mouth (like when i was in prison, the bad taste didn't go away)
And it works pretty well. Roleplaying AARs are all right, but I prefer the action itself.

I've recorded the battle with Britons, and will post it - because mistakes were made, people died left and right, and my FPS wasn't terrible.
I just wonder whether i should add some music, or just post it with "General?" "Yes, general" "I'm an incompetent unit and shall charge the WRONG army, General"? (i normally play WITH music, but while frapsing i had to disable it)

Also i wonder if i should post ze whole thing (15 minutes, no pausing) or just a shortcut where stuff gets killed. I'll figure this one out.

As for Sicily, retreating and other stuff.. I have an idea that can make Pro-Sicily members as well as "You advance too fast" viewers both happy. More info after the next update (Today methinks)

Edit : I've decided to post ze whole thing, impatient one can always skip the positioning parts, and those who wish to view zem, will have a chance.
Naturally it'll all be HD and widescreen, so no complaining about quality, or i'll make you a peasant general.

You're playing Spain, all of your generals are peasants.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

SO let's do this! What the hell do legionaries know anyways? Just ram a pitchfork up their ass and they die just like anyone else!

It took six hours to upload, so you better watch it in fullscreen HD!
Ze battle-battle parts are 1;30-3;10, 5;00-end
Siege of Lugdunum

As you can see i make mistakes a plenty. I don't know how we got this far as Spain either.

The LP will continue tomorrow with a proper update. I had some stuff to do today.

I watched it full screen, so you're vindicated.

What was that about no pause? Is that one of the restrictions we imposed, or does Rome not have one?
