He confirmed he ' s keeping Obamacare , and some things like the gay marriage decision , he has no care about . though that could still be really bad , now you pretty much got the traditional Republicans in charge of that . <| sep |> Hocus Pocus , git guda la docus . <| sep |> I messaged you , my username is dion 222 <| sep |> My first turns in DEI with Rome always go like this 1 Make 1 generalonly fleet , disband everything else . Use this fleet to discover every single faction with access to the sea and get every possible trade treaty . 2 One army to conquer and the other to keep public order with the cheapest units and few of them . 3 Take the cities on the north one by one . It ' s possible to receive war declarations by the small factions on the other side of the Alps , in that case do not conquer , make them vassals . 4 Meanwhile upgrade cities and buildings always with money in mind , you only need to build armies in rome and fleets in the port of the capital on the south . 5 Then , make a strong fleet to cut reinforcements from Africa , upgrade the armies a bit and go to war with Cartague . Rome has one of the if not the best starting positions of the game , once you have the three italic provinces the game gets a lot easier . PD Skirmishers are very cheap and very efective in the early game , they will wreck cavarly , very good to snipe generals and infantry from the flanks and rear . They have very few ammo though , so be sure that they use it on the most valuable enemy units . Slingers are good against the early lowarmor units and enemy skirmishers . Both are good options to make the armies cheaper but not less effective , I usually have 6 units of the first ones and 23 of the second ones .
