Just to differ, Yes I do have it. And I had most teams because PCM showed me something how to do it, but now I do not because my computer downstairs died and I am hoping that not all the software did not get uninstalled..

Depends on your perspective of cheating. Is going into the game's files and altering their contents considered cheating?

Selucids have a really bad position. They're trapped between 3 or 4 aggressive factions, but you can do very well with them. The computer, on the other hand, can't. In the first 40 turns the "Faction Eliminated" scroll usually appears with the Selucid's name on it.

On the plus side, they do have the advantage of being able to take out Egypt easily, whereas if you don't, it'll be a pain later. And if you do that leads to a 2-fronted war with Rome. War with Rome is bad enough, but on 2 fronts it's a nightmare.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant. BTW, your sig is too big.

ya, Im not a big fan of the seluecids because they are sandwiched between parthia, pontus and egypt. I prefer middle european faction like gaul and germania, although I can settle for Macedon because they have relatively weak neighbors.

Out of the barbarians I'd pick Britannia. Germania is weak and has a lot of towns without walls, and Britannia can easily exploit that. Gaul's also pretty good because they start close to Rome. IMO, the farther you are from Rome, the harder the game is. I've beaten the game with Carthage and The Greek Cities, both of which start relatively close to Rome.

I dont really like the Greek cities because ight from the beginning you are attacked by Macedon and Scippii, plus sometimes carhtage and the Seleucids. Also, they dont have the greatest units.

I really only like them because of the Spartans, which are easily one of the best units in the game.

Why do you think they start with 2 diplomats? And the best strategy is to build a ship and leave Syracuse, then send that army to Crete and conquer that.

I love Parthia! The only thing about them is that their whole "neighborhood" has lots of horse archers. If you try and attack them they just run away. :(

Do u have to defeat the armies to unlock them, or just win the campaign?
