Starting out on which level?

[Zalym]

Hey all,

I just picked up this game and have patched to 1.2 and picked up Rome Enhanced to try out. I've played HoI 1 and 2 and I picked up but never really got into EU3, though I still have it floating around my hard drive.

I was just wondering which difficultly level would you suggest starting out on and which country is best for a new Rome player.

if you want to slaughter play very easy if you want an even match play normal if you want the ai to try and kick your ass then play very hard

Start on easy

I've played a few strategy games -- none by paradox -- but pleny of RTS and turn based games. And the AI in Rome: EU is seriously a challenge on easy, playing as Macedonia.

The thing is, there is so much to this game that it takes a while to learn it. Playing the easy AI will make up for the time you let a general with a huge army, go rouge.

Or the time you accidentally reliquish hard fought provices to the AI, because you failed to understand the 'Sue for Peace' interface.

My 2 cents anyway, uninformed as it is. WTF am I doing on this message board, I must get back to Macedon.

easy seems challenging to beginners but compared to very hard difficulty its a piece of cake, very hard=Death on a murderous scale

don't worry

and I play 1.2 Normal.

Don't pick Rome to start with. I would choose Macedonia.
