Hello everybody,
I'm posting a new topic because i want to speak about the strategy guides.
I know this is for help the gamers (and i want to thank the gamers who did the different guides) but i'm very disappointed about how this guides are done.
They're too vague and imprecise.
The advice are too theoretical.
We can't apply and think about this advices during we're playing because in that way, the game is no more fun.
But this is just how i see the guides, you've probably a different opinion.
(Am i in the right forum's section ?)
(Sorry for my english)

Any aspect of the game you'd like to discuss, feel free to share it with us and we'll do what we can to help. Strategy guides can get you off to a flying start at the beginning of a game, with a few captured territories and the foundations of a solid economy laid down. But they are only useful in the first few turns, because each game starts with the same troops in the same positions - their behaviour in the first few turns is therefore predictable. After that, things become a lot harder to predict with factions declaring war on each other that weren't at war in a previous game, and armies appearing in places where they didn't before. No meaningful guide can take any of this into account. The very most that can be done is to warn you of things to expect, e.g. the Scipii will always try to capture Sicily and will expand into North Africa but if denied will go to Greece instead.
