Indulge me my dear audience, just this one more post... Now take a good hard look at all that green on the minimap. That is the colour of an empire. My empire.
I have conquered everything except for my good friends the Scipii, the Julii and the Senate Popularesque of Q Roma (I can't remember what the Q stands for).
Apparently I have to declare war on Rome and conquer the fair city in order to claim victory. Which I do not want to do because I happen to like the Roman Senate, I think they make better rulers than Imperators (emperors). Aside from that, the senate loves me on account of a large minority of my 180 family members disliking the chariot races and being damn good public speakers.
I do wonder what will happen if I just take turn after turn but I suspect the only things of interest in this game will be rebellions in my far cities. The senate will just sit there twiddling it's thumbs I suspect.
This has never happened to me before. Generally The senate asks me to commit suicide by now (and generally by the time I get this many territories, I have to not only wrestle with rebellion but also a depleted treasury), instead I'm in a great position under no threat whatsoever.
Anyway just thought I'd brag about a game which has no relevance to real life. Next post I'll be back writing about war religion and politics.
Conquer Rome!
ReplyDeleteGuess i dont have enough tactical thinking and patience for games like these..
ReplyDeleteI suck at games like this. I'm the worst decision maker of all time. Strategies are really not my thing.... -_-
ReplyDeletefor the record my decision making irl is terrible, but for some reason i get sucked into these games and decisions like "attack!!!!", "TEMPLESTOMERCURYinEVERYCITY!!!" and "loljustgarrisoneverycitywithPEASANTS!!!" end up winning me the game.
ReplyDeleteanyway, Rome conquered. I didn't even have to do the battle manually, just plonked three armies next to rome and went autoresolve.
so whats the name of this game?
ReplyDeleteIf you like games like this give Europa Universalis 3 a go, top game
ReplyDeleteIs this a game about Julius Caeser? It looks pretty cool, I've always liked strategy games like this, shame I don't know what this ones called or I could see myself killing countless hours with it haha
