This game is pretty fun but to make it funnier, when the enemy attacks, instead of them just taking the land automatically, there should be battle. An npc fights for u on that land and then who wins gets the land.

I only have one point in this game; When you deploy Mounted archers, they stop being mounted archers when the horses stop moving. The point of having archers on calvery is that the speed of the horse will make the arrow more deadly, if the horse stops moving, well then its just an archer with a bigger target.

Finally I did it in 5 years, conquering one country per turn. For this you need to concentrate on macedonian pikemen and upgrade them to the maximum as soon as possible. I didn't use any cavalry until the end ... only for the last country (Persia) i bought a couple of silver shield guards, because i already had 99 macedonian pikemen with all upgrades and didn't know how to spend my money elseway.

Finally completed it. Was challenging at the start, I almost wanted to quit of frustration once... but when I conquered Persia it all went easy. No strategy needed anymore, just spam Companion Cavalry. All-in-all, fine game! :D

all though it would not be historicaly accurate, they should make a sequal to the game but from a persian pespective. Fun to try out their troop types

after a long while, the enemy will stop making armies and attacking you. instead, king Darious III will show up as the leader

Wow this is a really good game. I felt like i had my whole army and could conquer the world, kinda like Genghis Khan game, except this one is better

heh??? evertime i try to start a 'new game' there comes a window that tells me 'game over' just right in the face. wtf?!?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
perhaps a way to customise the troop numbers...i hate it that whenever i replace one unit with another better one the number changes...i would rather i be able to assign the number to the troops in the battlefield so i know which troop im actually sending out

Bug: If you lose a game and then restart right away you leadership research stays with you on the battlefield, even if it doesn't show in the research panel (I guess that's why I finished so quickly that time)

Finished hard level in 7.75 years.
This was a little lucky, but I hardly ever had a full army. If you can try to win by morale, you will save a lot of money on not having to replace your army.
I fought mostly with Pikemen, Hypaspist and cavalry (scout first 1/3 and scout/lancer the rest). Only towards the end (to face Bactrian cavalry) did I get the silver shield guard. I focused on defense until I had enough to send a cavalry wave.
I did the 7.75 once, previous try it took me 10.25.
Fun game, but I think that Persia should be better defended.

despite what all of you have said, you need more than companion cavalry to win quickly. my strategy for getting units is first get hypaspists and dump all the others by disbanding them for money, and if nessecary fight the first enemy army with 75 hypaspists. then get companion cavalry as fast as you can, then dump the hypaspists for the silver shield guard. hope this helps!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
as travdog said, just get the best cavalry (companion cavalry) as first step and only use these to fight, you'll win in no time :)

If you get companion cavlary maxed out you can defeat almost any province with less then 5 casualties using just cavalry.

my thought is like if u had more countries,another empire to fight with(this is actually teryiaki and nacher idea only that first part tho)and if u destroyed a providence,the enemy can no long produce that kind of troops like:Kurdish javelin and Medean soldiers
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
teriaky, you're a total dumass, that would be Rome Total War........ you seriously have never played RTW before but you have played this....... That's just sad.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i agree with teryiaki there should be more countries, but also i would like other countries besides persia attack me and i would like to be able to fight back, also, you could make an army for every state and you can choose how many ppl 2 attack with.

I just relied on the standard hoplites (spearman), no need for Silver Guard against enemy Cavalry, place an archer behind them and bam, almost all enemies are dead.
The bug is due to keybindings (if you get 9 types of units)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
should make that game with all the civilisation. Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Persian, Babylonian etc. They all start with 1 province(Persia, Greece, Egypt etc.) and try to conqueir the knowed world and beat the other civilisation.
Press + if you think it's a good idea.

This game seems to be broken, i started the game, and in the tutorial and after, i wasn't reciving any command points, nor my enemy, i couldn't look toward my enemies side, they wouldn't deploy units, and after i send my units, they dissapear and i gain no land, please fix.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
could use some archievements, persia land should be hell so you need the rest of the world be4 you can stop the persia forces, maxed upgraids what now?

srry for double posting, but u should be able 2 move ur units around when ur arranging them. sometimes, i have 2 units i use a lot, and a bunch that i need, but dont use that often, in between them. its really annoying cuz when u try 2 select them, their 2 hotkeys are really far away.
