Introduction
Let me set the scene: You're in your most comfortable chair, sitting in front
of your PC, with the lights low, the significant other out of town, and the
phone off the hook. You're about to conquer Rome. The sun has just gone down,
and you're not planning on stopping until long after the sun has come back up.
I'm assuming that you've already put on your toga (see instructions,
below.) It's time to crush anyone who stands in your way. But how?
I
wrote up this strategy guide because there was a definite lack of basic
Rome: Total War strategies anywhere else. Even the 'official' strategy
guide is just page after page of pictures of the units. Great -- that's what
they look like -- but how do you use them? We want some vici, not just
the vidi!
Fear not, Roman. Whether you're new to the game or you're an
advanced player who just wants to compare notes, this strategy guide will go
over what it takes to win the single-player campaign game. It'll also cover some
general strategies that you can apply to the historical missions and even
multiplayer, although the online crowd will prove to be your toughest opponent.
The cornerstone of my strategy is a little something I like to call,
"Smackus Maximus." The secret is to always apply the most pressure to
your enemy's weakest point. It's all about having the best economy, the best
generals, the best governors, and the best battlefield tactics -- a fight fought
on your terms is a fight you can't lose!
Read on to discover how
Smackus Maximus can work for you.
