Beat the game as the Julii Factions and as the Greeks. Cant remember the details of my Julii victory but as the Greeks... Now that was a proper victory, Huge army, all content and a good old balance of 6 million gold to top it all up. Getting 40,000+ every turn, and huge cities all round. At war with 11 factions to the best of my memory at one point. Only discovered the importance of a good navy recently, and it sure has helped.
Temple of Nike for those extra valour points, put that with good old Spartan soldiers, and I took on Rome ad its might in no time... Would like to start a small faction next time, still not sure who, but I am guessing it would be quite challenging with a very small faction. Will see to it in good time.
