The first is CampLooвЂ™s Diplomacy AI improvement, which doesnвЂ™t make the AI easier to deal with, but allows it to make better decisions to ensure itвЂ™s success and survival.The second is вЂњTraits, Talents and ToadiesвЂќ which is a great mod that makes the perks/retainers that generals and agents get more robust.

So as it stands, the great regional powers, (other than us рџ‰ ) are the Kingdoms forged by the Carthaginians, who have proved that they are just as much warriors as traders,ДЄnd the Spartans, who clearly display the exploits of their military prowess, having expanded to take the whole of the western greek coastline.Д«oth the Spartans to our east and the Carthaginians to our south may prove to be fearsome adversaries and may make for worthy opponents.Д«efore going any further, I will point out IвЂ™ve got a few mods running that are going to be hard to spot. Together, they should bring the story we are playing through to life, so that we may go through it together. Welcome to my first campaign blog post! Now, being the first post ever, I ahd already started playing as Rome for a while before blogging it here so we are a few dozen turns into this one, but we still have miles to go!ДЄs a summary, I hope that every new blog post can have some details of the dramatic progressions taking place, coupled with images from the beautiful game itself. Why should we settle for Patavium?ДЄfter all, the prize of the city of Noreia is but a stoneвЂ™s throw away. Having taken Patavium, we hold the clear initiative, and our spy continues to wreck havoc in the Nori army camps wherever they may be. We have smashed the armies of their tribe, and pushed them back into the mountains of their homeland. The Nori, having lost Patavium to our Roman legions, begged for mercy, even offering gold for a peace, but our position looked so good it seemed like a waste to agree to peace. We had a couple of our agents get wounded trying to hit the enemy agents, but after a couple of battles we had the Nori down by 2 armies, while we still had both of ours in serviceable condition. The ensuing fighting was skewed towards us, with our armies being able to meet the Nori in the fieled 2 vs 1 thanks to the havoc our spy was causing in the other army. So, after much consideration, we shored up our defenses on our southern coast, with a navy that felt like it could prevent Hannibal smashing down our gates if it came to that and we moved to attack the Nori. And as the saying goes, вЂњDivide and conquerвЂќ What this means in the game is that two enemy armies cannot face you together if you attack at night reinforcements are disabled.

What I mean by 1v1 is that if you choose to attack at night, the enemy army is caught off guard, and there is no wayfor them to send message to supporting armies that the enemy(us Romans) are attacking. Using our generalвЂ™s Night attack ability, we could fight their armies 1 by 1 if need be and march to take Patavium. With all things considered, the Nori seemed to be the greatest threat on our borders. Carthage looks very fearsome and Spartans are not a people we want to cross swords with unless we have to. Now, having built our army, whereВ exactly does our future lie? Looking at the map showed that we have fairly good relations with our surrounding factions. Coupled that with the strong roman infantry and we have a very solid army in the making. The cavalry should be able to really cause some damage against the sword wielding barbarians and skirmish units, while the velites exploit the lack of armor our northern neighbors have.

So as Rome, the second army I built had a large cavalry contingent and a good number of velites. The barbarians in the north have fairly solid light cavalry, with strong warriors that dish out a lot of damage on infantry. I have found from experience that it really does help to build armies loosely based on what your future enemies will field. With the powerful roman economy, I felt it was about time to increase our militarily capabilities. The Veneti dead, the Etruscans wiped out, and a consolidated Italia province. So we last left off in a pretty solid situation. I love interaction and would welcome your opinions on this whole adventureВ рџ™‚ Welcome to the second post on this campaign!
