I've had this game for some time but never really played it more than once or twice. So I decided to load it up and have a crack at it.

Thus far I'm on what I believe are the tutorial stages (the game refers to it as the Prologue). I have liberated the city Tarquinni from some heathen barbarians. I did not exterminate the populace during the liberation, and few buildings were damaged.

In other news I also partially burned down a town during my first assault on it. Flammable ammunition stands a chance of setting fire to buildings as well as enemy troops.

Good luck. RTW is hard, I conquered half of Europe then my economy collapsed when I played it.

Already the way has become clear to me. Expansion must be relentless.

The army needs funds to run, so you must conquer. To do this you must build a larger army, conquer, gain more funds, build a larger army and continue onward, keeping just ahead of the inevitable economic collapse.

It is how I intend to play this, and there shall be no mercy. THEY SHALL FALL LIKE DUST BEFORE THE WIND!!!!

That's how I played, I was moving loads of armies around the map, conquering all in my path. It causes a collapse.

Awesome stuff! I'm too scared to play it in multiplayer with anyone right now, I need to get a bit better at it first. :P

I still remember the time I owned an army of pikemen and general soldiers with an army consisting entirely of cavalry (was a reinforcement army that got ambushed) and took very few losses.

Ohh i've got RTW, bit of a babe of game, that what got me into medieval and empire total war (well the whole series really). I never did that well on it, i was only like 10 or something when i played so i had a good idea what i was doing with armies but no idea when it came to the economy. I just took at slow and eveything was fine :D

Try going on the nile map, play as a nation with pikemen and then set up 2 units of pikemen at one end of the bridge, 2 units will kill everyone in their army... they just keep running into the spikes. *improve ai* eh hem cough cough.
