![]() No matter how good you are, you'll find it difficult to keep happy cities with 30,000 plus population. The key is to keep your population growing at a stable level but not too high the aim is to preserve public order. Farms increase income somewhat, but by the mid game trade routes are FAR more important for this so you wont miss it at all. A much better mod is Lusted's Terra Expugnandae which is more focussed on gameplay tweaks, it doesnt try and overhaul the entire campaign map or anything like that.Īnyway the solution to your problem is NOT to build higher than the first/second level of farms anywhere except your really agriculturally poor cities. RTR is excessively anal and has way too many provinces - the game becomes a MMORPG-like grind of neverending siege battles. Did Creative Assembly just forget to pay somebody to playtest the campaign side of the game? I wonder why everybody raves about Total War. Over the whole of my gaming time I am sure spent more of my time trying to deal plague and revolt in towns due to growth than on anything else. at 9% per turn (!) (turn = six months) it's obvious I am going to repeat the slaughter every ten years. ![]() Public order is good, then I look at population growth. Take over those towns again (reduced to about 5,000 each) and put taxes up to the maximum. I go in and slaughter maybe 60,000 innocent townspeople (oh, and all of a sudden the 'proletariat' loves me ). I made a save game called 'Population Control' and put all taxes up to the max, recruiting millions of thugs and gave about 250,000 gold as a 'gift' to the other Roman factions. The last thing I did before uninstalling was try to reverse that. Cities should never go above 20,000 and you should never have more than 50,000 in cash. I go on gamefaqs and the guy there says that the number one priority is to keep population and money both down. All my kids are fat, corrupt retards because of growing up with so much money and only the worst generals want to marry my daughters. (I paid some tiny greek city I was tired fighting with 30,000 just to sign the cease-fire). My treasury is 280,000 gold even though I basically throw money out of the window. Meanwhile my income is about 30,000 gold a turn (this is still with lowest possible tax everywhere). Every five turns I get a plague breaking out somewhere and public disorder. Take over a town, don't kill or pillage anybody and start investing in farms, roads, public health etc.Īnyway by 240 BC I have eleven towns. That along with taking over independent towns with my one big attack army was my basic strategy: ![]() First thing I noticed was how huge the revenue was from each town and that you could put taxes right down to lowest and still have enough income to recruit new troops. So I thought I'd play this game in a kind of intelligent way. I'm not talking about the battles because I didn't bother with them (I'm just there for the empire building). I started on easiest level as the Scipiians. I just got Rome: Total War today so I was playing it. ![]()
