Well it seems like a tour de force for Miserableman and Co.
This is probably going to be the first PC game I'll have bought since Warcraft 3 came out. Who else is likely to pick it up?

I managed to maintain it pretty well by just filling those unhappy towns with peasants. If a town is getting too big and too unruly, just give some ship the plague, and give the damn city the plague. Should reduce the numbers, increase the public order and therefor allow you to raise taxes. Other than that, I'd say get some provinces closer to home and move in on Rome quick sharpish.
After completing it I started again with the Seleucid empire, but I haven't played it since. Methinks I will sometime soon.

How far has everyone got on this?
My latest game as the Brutii (haven't played for a few weeks now) I have something like 25 provinces, mostly over the sparse territories to the east/Northeast.
The trouble is, those on the outskirts are now so far from my capital (which has been moved to make it more central) that they're recieving a good 40% or so order penalty... it's becoming tricky to maintain order in places, even with 80% garrison.
I wonder how much further I can go before the magnificent collapse of the empire?

my family is popping sprogs all over the shop lately, it's wonderful. Also, I'm expanding at a frankly disturbing rate, massacring weak rebel peasant farmers and exterminating populae wherever I tread my toughened leather sandal.
This game is teribble-y addictive

Aye, they do tend to die rather easily.
Weak blooded Julii!
They are nothing compared to the might of Gaul!
Asterix forever.

Yeah, mostly the Gauls and rebels.
My faction leader has passed away now, but I have plenty of family members to keep things running. Shame though, he was an amazing commander and above average in managment and influence as well.

Yeah I have read since that it is a bug that will be fixed in 1.2.
The actual movements of the individual units is quick it is just the camera movement.
It isn't to do with the 3D engine it is down to the fact they have capped it for all resolutions but a fair few people have reported it as frustrating and they are looking into fixing it.
