stoic , this will end in a competition again wouldn't it? Nah, you will crush me using your overpowered Hannibals Nah, 1 general won't carry me to victory. You'd really accept defeat that easily . Besides, it's a score based one, so it's optimal to only use 1 or 2 |

 Instead of defending at first. I went straight for Bithynia and found an almost consistent way to eliminate them before turn 5. In turn 1 send your general north and orate him. Don't let Crassus discover you. In turn 2 destroy Ancrya. Move your infantry first to scout the general, then archer, then cavalry. Attack Nicromedia with your general, and build a light infantry in Iconium. By turn 3 you should be able to capture Nicromedia with your archer, if not, restart. Mithridates VI should also be attacking Ancrya, if not, restart. move your infantry towards Ancrya and destroy it again. Next turn most likely Bithynia will fall.    For general paths and advice, I suggest researching philosopher first and getting governor asap of course, also bribing Mauretania is more helpful than Illyria, so when you only have 150 gold left, give it all to Mauretania. I used 2 generals, Spartacus on swordsman in Salamis and Vercingetorix on a light infantry. Your starting cavalry general is decent, and he can single handedly take out Crassus and Caesar, just replenish him in Athens. Having a successful Egyptian expedition is also crucial. I sent Spartacus along with other infantry and built a camp near Salamis. I evaded the Egyptian generals and took Memphis. From there on, Egypt should fall right around when Cleopatra is spawned. Never accept protocols from the neutral nations, especially if you're on the anti-roman side. Pirates and Skythia join in about turn 15 and they declare neutral again at around turn 30, so they wouldn't obstruct the speed of the conquest. |

Nasamones is the hardest conquest, so my statement of Seleucid empire being the hardest conquest of Caesar's time is false |

All you have to do as Nasamones is take out Egypt, which is one of Rome's best allies in Caesar Time. Send your general to Greece and weaken Crassus, then you can auto run it with the conquest ending in about 50 turns. I even believe that Nasamones could be a good speedrun country due to its location. Numidia is usually the last country to survive on the Roman side, and Nasamones can clean them up in 20 or so turns. |

Never really had issues with conquest so far, and all can be beaten quite simply, but the problem with Nasamones is that it's pretty painful to play. I find it pretty dull, and i had more problems playing it that other nations. That's why i dislike playing it, and prefer Egypt or Numidia rather than Nasamones |

Just blitz averni and start sending the majority of your generals to spank the Dacians. Egypt carries your allies in Asia Minor. Also, declaring war on Nasamones turn one is great. |

Actually just beat nasmones in 35 rounds! Basically, go ham on egypt as fast of possible. And then once you have money, bribe illyria and mausetamia and start invading your enemies to the west.
