Damn you Barbarossa, I wanted the Belgae (Julius Cesar once said "From all the people of the Gaul, they are the bravest." Since it's basically the only thing Belgium can be proud of in its history, I was told that dozens of times in school).

Well, I'll take the Brigantes then.

Looks like it'll be the British after all!  Before I begin, does anybody know a decent screenshot program that will function when RTW is up?  The ones I've tried so far don't work when the game's loaded up.  >=/

Edit:  Nm.  FRAPS.

Edit 2: Not FRAPS.  Not paying £25 to take screenshots that aren't .BMPs.

Orders for Eburacum: build as much of the cheapest non-guard and non-peasant unit available. Build economics buildings.

Barbarossa, our tribes should be friend. Let's make a fest in honour of whatever gods we worship. I promise not to murder you (Or only a little bit).

Use FRAPS, honestly the effort of going through and reformatting and resizing will reduce your bandwidth usage to about 1/3 per picture, and you'll stop using unnecessary pictures. I really think it's worth it because it improves the quality of the shots you do use.

The Belgiae agree to this truce, friend Sheb. Let our foes quake in terror!

Start's probably going to be a day yet, I didn't realise when undertaking this how much book-keeping I'd have to do.  o_o

This might actually be unsustainable.

So we can only choose from the British tribes?

Please have the pretanoi increase their garrison with non-peasant or town guard units, the one immediately above those two.  Please build a shrine.

Waiting to give instructions until I know that it's 1) sustainable, and 2) What starting units/building/money is available to each town.

Alright, the book-keeping of trying to manage individual accounts is a nightmare, so I'm not going to do it.

I could possibly manage just assigning tribes towns and letting them determine construction and hiring (then do it as and when they can afford it).  How would we feel about that?
