The joy that RTW gives is both in it's quirkiness as much as it's greatness. Still a fantastic game in my view. A game I've purchased several times as time and operating systems have gone on. I've waffled about it on and off over before.
Getting back to the game for a quick battle or two saw me reload an older save. It's a fun thing in it's own right to asses what stage a save is in; Especially when you've not seen it in years. This save was from an Armenian late stage campaign(Dark Green).
It looked like I had loaded up a best of the best army on a boat. My guess is that they were going to be headed for Egyptian lands to cause havoc behind the lines. But as I was in this save for some 'relatively quick' fun; I decided to take them to capture Rome and see how long they could hold out.
Surprisingly the Roman civil war was distracting the factions. So it was easy enough to take Rome and fun to hold out until the Julii got their act together in overwhelming numbers.
I like to sally out from cities I'm defending on the same turn they are besieged. The attackers have nothing to attack walls with that turn and the A.I. does be bewildered. Quirky but true. Sitting ducks.
