Re: Any guides or advice on escaping starting decadence trap as Seleucids?

Build Schools, Perceptor's Houses and Tribunals. These reduce Decadence every turn. Also, eliminate and do not build structures that cause Decadence unless these have a big pay off in Culture. Focus on Culture. By turn 100, I was making over 5000 Culture/turn and much less decadence. Don't grow too ...

Re: Recruiting Bactrian Cavalry

You need to have a majority of the regions in that province and then form the province. That should make the provincial units available.

Re: Playing Etruria - How?

Now for something completely different. Take Sardes. You should be able to do that successfully by turn 5 and then declare war on Carthage and take the rest of the island. Make it a province and move your Capital there. The AI may just overlook your new sea faction long enough for you to get somewhe...

Re: FoG Empires vs Alea Jacta Est

FOG:E is not a pure historical recreation of the early Roman era. You won't necessarily get Caesar or Scipio Africanus, although you will have Roman Commanders that lead your armies. Also, Empires allows you to play dozens of different Nation Factions, not just Rome. So, AJE would have familiar face...

Re: Can you defend with army against raids?

The most effective way to prevent raids is to set up a buffer of Client State regions. That way, none of your regions are subject to raiding.

Re: Percentage Max for Health Bonus?

The 65% max limit is correct by my experience. It seems to be the case for AI regions as well.

Re: Coop AAR: Germanic Tribes vs Rome

In SP, one faction is enough to conquer Rome. I hope that the AI Rome gives you a worthy opponent. Be aware that another AI faction may win the game while you're focused on Rome. Good luck!

Re: Grand Strategy AAR

Okay, here's what I do. First off, objectives grant one point of Legacy for as long as you hold the region. Highest Legacy score wins the game. Also, from the manual: "Secondary Benefits of Legacy If you are at the top of the legacy table and in tier III of the CDR then there is an extra 5% cha...
