Rome Total War- Battle strategies

[M. Demetrius]

You can change it, even, during a campaign, by leaving the game, and going to options, making your new selection and reloading your game...I think. So I suppose when you come to that hump where practically all your towns go red, usually after you have 40 or so, and your balance drops alarmingly below zero, you could change to an easier level to get past that. I've never done that. On the hardest setting, it's just silly hard, because all the enemies seem to have endless money, and it appears that all their soldiers are taking performance-enhancing drugs. Yikes!
