Hehe. I love all good games that has to do with ancient civilization ie romans and specially battle tactics. I downloaded the clone but I just trashed it and started downloading the cracked release.

Too bad you cant destroy cities, takes away alot of the fun of being a conquering nation.
You can invade Brittain right??

Hmm you can't destroy cities? But shouldn't you be able to install castles and other bases etc? huh?

Damn, this game is very enjoyable. I didn't like the other Total War games much, but this one seems really good.
I like the scale of the armies and the controls are decent enough (I hate games that have horrid camera controls, but this one is ok  ).
It's such a shame that there is no multiplayer yet again for what the single player takes you through... how cool would it be?
I know what you're saying "But sTo0z, there is just no possible way!" Not with that attitude there isn't! There has got to be a way...
Maybe they could have had a server option. One program to host the world and accept commands from the players. The world would not progress until each player got his commands in. Then once the server sees all players issue their stuff, the world would progress and they could take their next turn.
Maybe when a battle engages an alert could be sent to the players and they would collaborate a login time on a timer, if the players don't log in in a certain time frame (like a day or something) the AI would take over and decide the battle.
Sure the game would take forever to complete, but it would be really cool to have that option. 
Oh well, a guy can dream can't he?

Well it could just work as Age of Wonders games, multiplayer in the campaign game is NOT as impossible as some of you think =)
Anyway, as for the game itself..
The ONLY single thing i was a bit let down on was the fact that there are like 10 (???) other factions you DONT get to play, such as uuh...whatstheirname and so on 
I would really dont care if they just have the same unit types and building types as the others, most of the desert folks would have middleeastern stuff etc, i just wanna play AS them, not just by conquering them. Oh well perhaps someone can make a mod.
It's definetly the GOTY, i've sat down with it last night for 8-9h straight, just some piss-poo pauses ;D It's friggen crazy, i usually want a break after 2 hours, 3 tops, no matter the game.
So i got a friggen headache because my campaignmap was choppy when sidepanning, as if there was a "nooot-smooth-at-all-scrolling" option active, figured it out now, the entire settings for the entire game are stored in preformance.txt or something in the gamefolder..
Was some campaign map scroll speed setting at 30, too slow for the game so thats why it chopped 50 is fine.
You can even change the unit sizes so instead of either having it on Large (base size 80 men) or Huge (base size 160 men), you can even it out at 100 for example.
OMG im rambling again, shiet.......
Damn damn you Rome, dammn you!!!! I want to sleep, blaaargh, i cant, i CANT!!!!!!!!1one I gotta go conquer sicily.. *sob*
And well you can build forts, they are basically a square of wooden palisades and some tents to protect a bottleneck like a bridge or valley, just so your troops stationed there will be "safe" behind a wall for some added defence.
And no you cant destroy cities, but thats just good, you cant in real life either, at least not big ones as the ones in Rome (the game not the city LoL).
You can either occupy and let the population be under militaristic control, or theyll revolt, or enslave and spread em out to your other cities, 200 ppl are much less to cause 7000 people to revolt than 7000 revolters........ :S
OR you can exterminate it, basically just the city foundation is left, no ppl etc, lol kinda like hitler  Yay i can be the new Italian Hitler, awesome..... :S
And as i sidenote, its HARD to assault cities or even just towns, without getting some serious hardware like onagers and stuff, its a very slow process of having 3k soldiers climb ladders or siege towers, so as a defender its good to get as many archers as possible to be honest.
Gah play now!

You can destroy cities. You just need to use something like an onager and you can level down every single building in a town.

How do you get new units and stuff?! I know this is a really stupid question but I've just started a campaign and it won't let me attack some city because I don't have any units that can attack buildings.
