Yeah, rarely am I fond of the hardest level in a game (with the exception of shooter games where the AI is just way too unintelligent and you need the higher difficulty to compensate). But my towns/cities do fairly well. I'm down to the 200bc timeframe of the Total Realism mod and only lost one location (gave it over to the Carthaginians after it was the last surviving Gaul position). Now I'll be hammering into the Macedonians and the Carthaginians and press outward a bit more. I've spent WAY too much time consolidating and building up my core instead of branching out.
This game is great in the overall scheme... I just wish I had unlimited time and a means to control more specific elements of the game. It annoys me when I try to save an Empire (I did with the Gauls only for a sake of my core building) by giving them a truce and then the next turn they attack me. One would think it should last longer.
Everytime I play the game it becomes a "who can push more forces across more land faster". I completely and utterly enjoy decimating other forces, but I don't like CONSTANTLY fighting a battle every turn.
