Hey Guys, I've read all the post here and now I wonder, is it really just me?
I used to play this game when I was a kid, but back then I didn't think about changing difficulty levels, and finishing this game on the easiest one is, I agree, a very simple task.
Now I'm back to the old world and I switched to "legionaire", the second level. People in this forum are telling me this would be still easy, but I can't seem to advance to the point where you are powerful.
1) I conquer alpes.
2) I conquer Narbonensis and get promoted to centurio.
3) My second army attacks Germany.
This is as far as I get at legionaire... Right after reaching this point, the first barbarian armies spawn. Usually they come from across the sea, so I get my 2 armies to Italy and defend against the intruders.
I am still centurio at that stage, no horses, no chance! The intruders have war elephants and sqash my first army easily. My second wins (with a lot of effort...).
And then, one round or two after that, the next marauder comes in. From now on all I can do is protect myself until finally I'm destroyed.
How you guys do that??? I'm pretty experienced in strategy but this is just not possible...
PS: I tried the melee trick too, but it didn't work, the 8 horses swarmed my troops and soon enough I was running away.
