Story time:
One of my very first games I played, I was Arabia and I had Rome as my neighbor. They asked for friendship, and I, as a newb, was all like: "Sure! I would love an ally!" I expected him to defend me in my wars, if I ever was in one, so I focused on my infrastructure with only 2 Warriors and an Archer to defend my 2 cities from the occasional barbarians.
Eventually, I got mad at him when he forward settled right next to my capital. I trained a few more archers, but really if just let him be. He declared war on me a few turns later, after seeing how weak my army was.
I held on with my capital and tiny military as I shifted all of the production and funding of my three cities towards more military units, and sent my workers to hide I the city walls. Thanks to a very convenient river, and my city being on a hilltop, I survived long enough to build a force almost as large as Caesar's. He had both of his UU's at the time, so it was a bit tough, but I pushed back his Legions until they retreated past his city of Neapolis, the one he settled next to my capital.
By this point, he sees his weakened army versus my strong one (and my religion is helping me with the tithe belief + my UA buffing my trade routes, so financing my army isn't a problem at all), so he starts spamming White Peace deals every single turn. I have my sights set on taking this crappy city of Neapolis and burning it, and then moving towards the much nicer city of Cumae to the west.
As I begin steamrolling the now vanished army of Caesar, he begins freaking out, offering me all the cities he can afford to give. I, of course, accept, and keep my army camped outside of Rome for ten turns, until the truce expires, when I attack to finish the job this backstabbing scumbag started. Rome falls without a serious challenge, though this time he had a few more Ballistas set up to defend himself.
After completely wiping out another Civ right as I enter the medieval era, I bide my time until I unlock my Camel Archers, when I will really start to go to work. William of the Netherlands is complaining about my "warmongering," but what can he say when he's about to be taken over by Japan, as well as the fact that I was the one who spread my superior religion to his borders (how are you going to get mad at access to Pagodas when you only have Monasteries and no Wine or Incense?)?
I ended up winning Domination, but with all the city state allies I mustered, a Diplomatic victory would have been a very viable option for me. Sure, I was only playing on Prince, but this was a very special moment for me. I learned to not always trust people who wanted to "ally" with me. I learned that focusing on a larger defensive milita can be more important than building wonders and shrines early game, especially with more militaristic neighbors. I also learned that I can still win wars with a smaller and lower quality army, if I can take advantage of the terrain, and use cavalry and chariot skirmishes to destroy their infrastructure and harass their units from the flanks.
Thank you Caesar, you annoying traitor. I may hate you, but you taught be some valuable lessons about Civ V.

Wow. Maybe you need your eyes checked, or quit being so judgmental.

1) I NEVER said Rome wasn't a great military power. Wouldn't I have to be an idiot to say that? No, I said Rome was not a "perfect" military power.

2) Fordham University's article, "The Vast Power of Mithridates", sums up his legacy with the first sentence:
"Mithridates, king of Pontus (reigned 120 to 63 BCE), the Romans found their most formidable enemy, save only Hannibal."
Mithridates VI was a major enemy of Rome and power in Asia Minor. 'Nuff said. Case closed.

3) Number of Roman (Not including East) Civil Wars (counting the Crisis of the third Century): 20+
Just to list a few:
Social War
Republican Crisis
Sulla's Civil Wars
Julius Caesar's Civil Wars
Liberator's War
Sicilian Revolt
Fall of the Republic
Year of Four Emperors
Year of Five Emperors
Year of Six Emperors
Crisis of the 3rd Century
Tetrarchic Wars
The United States has stood for 236 years, and in that same time, we have fought 1 civil war. Rome had issues with solving internal disputes without civil war.

4) Romans not only faced trebuchets in combat but used them in battle. Traction trebuchets, descendants of the fustibalus, were used by the Roman army. The Strategikon of the late 500s, details their use by East Romans. It was also written that future emperor Andonikos I Komnenos used the counterweight trebuchet.

5) I am not just some rube who watched Barbarians on the History Channel and became an expert. Do not insult my intelligence. I have studied Latin and Roman history and culture for nearly 10 years. I even speak fluent Classical Latin (ac de re, te amice non fallo). When I say Rome was imperfect, I know what I am talking about.

I had City-State Diplomacy which makes city-states less unless and a bit more tricky to ally with. Never play a game without it.

I also had a mod that has certainly become one of my favorites. Advanced Air Units which makes having an air force a lot more fun. Dozens of different planes/carriers/helicopters unique to each civ are added and a new tile improvement: The Airbase!

I should have also mentioned it but Rome was last in world literacy. They had the least amount of tech. This is pretty much where it stood.

After trying to get the achievement so many times, I find this to be the most saddest theme in civ 5. You are trying your very hardest to hold onto a crumbling empire. You are broke, constantly depressed and even though you get those brief moments in which you think you are going to make it, your enemies push back twice as hard. As time goes on, your enemy gets stronger as you get weaker until you eventually cannot take back what you lost and your enemy takes more.

One of my favorite themes in the game.

Story time:
So, after several rounds of peace. I decided to set up a new city at a place where a source of sugar and quick trade routes were. After setting that up, Morroco that started bitching that I was setting up too close to his territory... although he had NO neighboring cities, the closet was about 50 blocks away. Then Augustus had a problem. I promised both of them that I would not expand any further. Morroco was convinced, but Rome was all like "I'm worrying of your expansionism." although he had THREE NEIGHBORING CITIES, one to the east of it, west, and north!
After a while, he declared war on me. And I'm a little flattered he prepped two legions, three spearmen, and THREE BALISTAS. After slaughtering my men and razing my city. I told my workers to flee. And I tried multiple times to negotiate peace with this finger-interested unworthy emperor. The only time he accepted was AFTER he razed my city. After that, he got a FRIENDLY reputation with me. FRIENDLY, and he tried to offer embassies to me. I knew where his capital was, but he didn't know where mine was, but I could tell that this... man... here, is trying to hunt me down and finish the job.

@frisianmouve

When i was playing as him i quickly build up my empire, Legions build the entire road system between 7 cities and once they were done they build forts at the border with Germany. Germany had about twice as many units than me and they hated me for settling too much and being close. Naturally i figured an attack from them was inevitable that's why the fortifications at the border came in quite handy. Lost some units, but the lines held with them having far greater losses. The counter-attack wasn't pretty for them as i conquered their measly 4 cities because they weren't as expansive as usual for some reason. Rome can into German lands and no Teutoberg Forest for me! I needed them to attack me first into my fortifications as otherwise i don't think i could've won that war as my cities were still underdeveloped and the Germans had a tech advantage (as is normal in the early game on higher difficulties). Longswords vs legions, but we both had xbows
The Celts, Venetians and the Carthaginians fell soon thereafter.
When the Roman Empire was established as the sole ruler of the western hemisphere i became bored and i quit:p.
Funny thing was that the French beat out the Huns in the east when the Hunnic empire stagnated in tech. Even after the Huns wiped the Greeks off the map. I guess they just couldn't keep the momentum going and therefore stagnated while France was teching. It was probably a costly war for the huns as well as Greeks also build units early and have good unique early units.

Having like two legions and three Ballistas immediately attacking your cities is alarming, I literally tried deity and Augustus rolled over my western cities with great ease, even with quickly built walls and archers in my last three cities, they were no match for the Roman war machine.
They've conquered the nearby Arabian cities before they got the camel archers, for some this Rome was relentless and dominating.

@maxwellgarrison6790

10y↑81

You have to remember: Rome was not a perfect military power; their strength lay in the ability to absorb huge military losses only back it up with another army.
Throughout her history Rome was gravely challenged by major powers: Carthage and Mithradates early on, then Huns, Persians, Arabs, Slavs and the Germans and Turks which ultimately crushed the West and East respectively, not to mention an inability to solve internal disputes without resulting in civil war. By the time trebuchets and horsearchers came around, the legionnaire seemed something of an archaism on the cusp of the middle ages.

@Szgerle

10y↑50

No it wasnt, the organization and the equipment of the legions werent outdated for a good millennia after the fall of the western empire. It wast certainly miles about anything the medieval feudal warlords fielded.

@maxwellgarrison6790

10y↑7

Firstly, Constantinople, the last legitimate heir to the Roman Empire fell to the Seljuk Turks in 1453. At that time, the Byzantine Empire fit within the walls of the capitol; legions had been abandoned for about seven centuries. Before that, West Rome fell to barbarian kings, the East largely to organized states, such as the Umayyad Caliphate and Turkish Sultanate. Neither fought proper feudal warlords (considering the Roman estates and villas were in part a source of feudal manors, hence 'village').
Granted, legions were still a relevant notion well into the Middle Ages, and the military organization scored Rome many late victories against the Huns, Goths, Saxons, and Persians, but the whole enterprise was not very practical later on, and abandoned for the thema for a couple of reasons:
1) It requires a lot of men to fully man a legion. Things like plagues, famine and manpower shortages due to frequent civil wars and constant barbarian incursions make this difficult to execute, drawing directly from Roman stock, or loyal provincials. This is why barbarians composed a great deal of the enlisted men in the late empire; they were cheaper to hire, were already warriors and were motivated by promises of wealth and freedom. Conscription was also highly unpopular among the general populace.
2) The necessity of trained barbarians in the ranks of the legion foiled the effectiveness of the legion somewhat. In this way, barbarians knew the weaknesses of the legion and how to exploit them. Such weaknesses were A) the need for long and orderly marching trains. The more mobile barbarians could rush the unprepared line from the woods or a hill, or harass the supply wagons in the rear; B) the legion's dependency on strict order and discipline was a weakness if the barbarians were able to cause chaos, fear or hesitation, in a cohort or entire legion, or goad soldiers into attacking without orders. The fiasco of Adrianople exemplifies this.
3) Legions were very expensive to maintain, requiring each soldier to be equipped with at least half-decent weapons, sword, shield, and spear, clothing for summer and winter, daily necessities, food, and pay. Conversely, many enemy armies used their own weapons or ones they stole, and could pillage for what they needed, fighting often for a cause (such as freedom, a homeland, or religion) rather than an oppressive government.
This is not to say that legions were totally ineffective, but they were insufficient to handle changing tactics and enemies in the long run (obviously).

@maxwellgarrison6790

10y↑4

I absolutely agree that Rome was destined to fall. I would even argue that Rome sealed it's fate before the Empire. Appius Clodius' free grain program, Marius' reforms, the dictatorship of Caesar all led to dangerous political, economic, and military veins that hurt the empire later on, even if they helped it initially.

I will say that the legion was effective as infantry when applied properly and trained half-decent, but it wasn't practical later on for the smaller, weaker states of the Late-Classical and Medieval Eras.

you're trying to counter a commonly-held historical view (that the Romans were a strong military power) to show how knowledgeable you think you are about history, but all you're doing is making it painfully obvious you need to read more Mommsen and watch fewer mediocre TV documentaries.

I’m playing with a large earth map mod with true start locations as arabia. Africa was wide open for him to colonize but he didn’t go there until I had settled North Africa. I had conquered Spain’s coast, and after noticing Spain’s large military movements I had moved my own military in preparation for a war that never would materialize. In my militaries absence, Rome declared war on me and took one of my North African cities. (Benghazi). I retreated the few troops I had to Egypt, after inflicting some damage. Meanwhile, as my Spanish troops returned, I decided that instead of trying to retake Benghazi, I would start by taking his North African city in Algeria. This works marvelously and by now Rome is begging for peace. But I’m not having it. I took several of his nile cities and raised two of them to the ground. Unfortunately now I need to deal with the Zulu and Songhai declaring war against me, which means I can’t deal with Rome once and for all. I also have the English, Russians, Indians, and Indonesians all at war with me but I’m not too worried about them. I have an excess of cities that I could use as diplomatic leverage for negotiating peace, but I want to find away to keep the Songhai and Zulu at total bay from me

And also every civilication has made a contribution to the world, the romans were from the ones who worried of how a state should be ruled taking away power from the emperor, and giving more to the senate, sometimes the emperor had more power than the senate and had influence over it like cesar and cesar augustus but that's another deal

No matter what Civ I play as, no matter how prepared my defense is, no matter how far away my civilization is from his, as long as this asshole is in game and has the intent to declare on me, always ends up shitting fury all over me in the end. For example; we were on sort of a snakey-map, I was playing as China and I had 5 or so cities. At this point I had mechanized infantry, infantry and tanks. He had 41 cities, had conquered Carthage, Greece, Egypt, Mongolia, and The Huns, and had rocket artillery, jet fighters and destroyers. I had an army of about 51 soldiers lined up across the Roman-Chinese border. He attacked with about 20. After I barely scooted by his onslaught he came in with 11 rocket artillery. fml

I don't know about you guys, but I always found him so patronising and irritating.
Sure, I did learn early on that I should never trust him (after all, that's how his famous empire was built), but what got to me were the "peace treaties" he wanted me to sign continuously. They generally involved asking me to hand over everything I had, regardless of whether or not he's posing any immediate threat to me, or even if he's been severely losing his previous attacks.
All this, while he decides the best thing that he can look at is his fingernails. It's almost like he's saying "Will you please hurry up and let me conquer you? I have an appointment at 3 that I don't want to miss". The first 5 seconds of this music will be forever ingrained into my mind with memories of irritation, and the fear of accidentally misclicking and accepting the treaty.
tl:dr; Caesar's a massive jerk.

@ACircusRat

10y↑38

I found him fascinating. He's so cold and careless, just like an emperor should be. His line for DoW is something along the lines of "My treasury is empty and my soldiers are bored sigh therefore you must die". This guy hasn't a care in the world and is one of the leaders I think Civ 5 portrayed best.

@SSFhighcommandJOHN

It's fun because this guy isn't even the best Ceasar. That role goes to Julius. This is the guy who was left to pick up the pieces after Julius was killed, for supposedly wanting to turn the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire, in the end Octavius, later known, as Augustus Caesar, did that.

@GKhan410

My most hated enemy in Civ V is probably Pocatello. He and I always end up in a sort of Cold War towards the end of the game, with me usually being USA in military strength and Russia in technology. I'm no racist or anything like that, but those goddam Shoshone (Civ V only, the real guys were pretty cool) are always the biggest hump in my conquest of the world. I usually just end up nuking them towards the end of the game lol. At least they have a really good war theme though, definitely in the top 3 in my opinion.
P.S.: Poland is the almighty, all powerful civilization that surpasses the gods themselves! 😁

@GKhan410

noelwym123 The only time I met him in a game was when his land was divided by Caesar and Pocatello. Maybe it was unfortunate circumstances for him lol. I have played 6 games with Pocatello in them, and every time his score is either nipping mine in the ass, or is way ahead of it, and I get ahead only by conquering more than he does. Every game devolves into Mutually Assured Destruction, and thankfully I usually build more nukes than he does. I have also met Gandhi the World Destroyer, Augustus Caesar the Nail Admirer, and Gajah Madah the Stupid Motherfucking Capital Nuking Asshole, to name a few.

The United Republic is in a golden age. The people are happy and are sure that nothing could hurt them. Reality quickly showed itself when the Roman Empire declared war on the Republic of Carthage. After their sound defeat in the First Roman-Carthage War the Carthaginians signed a defensive pact with their Republican Allies. What would have been a small war between two nations had now escalated. Messengers had reported that the other two civilizations of the world Germany & Japan had also gone to war. The First World War had begun.

The United Republic had never fought a war before had the advantage in being the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. While Carthage and Roman attacked each other with Swords & Muskets the Republic bombed Roman Cities with B17s and B24s. Roman sailing ships were numerous but the tiny Republic Navy consisting of 4 destroyers, 2 Battleships, and 2 Submarines made short work of the once mighty roman navy.

The Republic knew that in order to bring a quick end to the war the fight had to be taken to Rome herself. A UH-1 Huey helicopter codenamed 'Inglorious Basterd' was sent into the Roman heartland where it reeked havoc destroying and strategic and luxury resource's it came across and spotted for the planes stationed at Sierra Point Military Complex. Roman troops were cut down by P-51 Mustangs, P-40 Warhawks, and A-20 Havocs. With his nation in ruins Caesar signed a peace treaty. The Republic got a very large sum and of gold and would continue to gain gold as reparations despite not losing a single man. The Republic also gained one on Caesar's cities which they immediately gave to Carthage as repayment for the city Rome burned down in the last war.

Republic Scientists soon built something called an Atomic Bomb which would make any war against very short indeed. A new plane called the B-29 Stratofortress was also built which would let the republic strike anywhere.
