i wonder what your computer specs are to be able to run this slow mod...

krieger546 · Nov 10, 2009, 04:07 AM

BTW The reason why there's only three defenders in Byzantion is the plague, which doesn't help.

I run a Dell Latitude D630 packed with Core2 T7300@2.0GHz, 2GB RAM and NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M.

The huge amount of barbarians is party caused by the Romans having the Great Wall. A little while before the European civs start to spawn the mediteranean ones get bombarded by huge numbers of barbarians to represent the fall of the Roman Empire to barbarians. However the Great Wall is protecting the Romans' cities (very good strategy) and funelling all of the barbarians that would be attacking them towards you. So basically what you're seeing is the Greek-smashing barbs AND the Rome-smashing barbs descending upon you.

Good luck

EDIT: But at least they killed the Roman army en route

Yeah, what will happen to you? Did the the barbs and Romans wipe each other out?

See the Roman Great Wall.

I don't envy Greece here. How many turns from that moment did the plague last?

Ethiopia is trying to screw you over!

HUSch · Nov 26, 2009, 01:35 PM

Nice to see; was there a barb-uprising?

WookieeChef654 · Dec 05, 2009, 05:29 PM

So. Many. Barbarians.

What difficulty was it?

smanxmonkey · Dec 22, 2009, 12:38 AM

The Romans only survive with the Great Wall. They get destroyed without it. Also you research fast, I usually get caught with just spearmen and phalanxes when the barbs come down.

El Bogus · Jan 21, 2010, 09:23 AM

Never knew, it's good not to build the Great Wall... Maybe, even plague could help to get rid of your black friends... =)
