its a fun game. and i'm getting better and not expanding too quickly and tanking my loyalty and thus my country.

i'm using the auto pop allocation (thanks CC and Max), but still don't trust the autobuild feature.

This is what I've started doing.

I just started as Rome, took the province from the Senomes with the fort, am attacking their last province with my 16 legions to their 3, but I lost the battle because their combat number is magically bigger, the battle goes intro pursuit with 1 death what gives?

Further along - in a civil war as Rome, several Italian provinces declare for the usurper.  I slowly slog them back into Rome, but it seems my allied Gallic friends who fought in the battle get to claim the provinces (Rome had by far the larger combat elements)...

Not sure this seems right...

How does MP look?

It's asynchronous, using the Slitherine PBEM server.

Region, not province. :P Province is a group of regions here. :P

They got extra units from buildings that give garrison troops. That region is a bitch to take, too.

:hmm: I assume you are running the latest version. Sounds odd indeed.

Is there a serious goldsink other than army upkeep?

Why doesnt the autobuilder build a building in every region? Some regions are left alone.

Those regions might be at their building limit, or perhaps the AI thought there was nothing on offer that'd worth dividing up the province's Infrastructure pool further.

Latest version, restarted now.

The army for the battle was listed as both, with the Gallic being first (then Roman).  I assume that was what led to the division, but in one turn 2 Italian regions became foreign after large Roman and tiny Gallic armies marched in...

Rome is so overpowered. It's not that I've never seen them do poorly, it's that I've never even seen them do mediocrely.

This game has great potential, but it's a little rough around the edges. I especially like the decadence mechanic, too few games attempt to model the rise and fall of empires like this.

In my last game Macedon became a superpower.  It had almost achieved a reconquest of Alexander's empire with the exception of Egypt and they are allied with the Ptolemies.  The Romans had a lot of trouble with them.

I had a game where the selucids hit superpower status super early. like 5000 legacy while I was at 1000 as rome. then they totally collapsed and ceased to be.
