Let's Play Rome Total War: Never trust a Greek! And keep increasing the naval pressure!

Coming off the heels of a bda technical trip, we keep on keeping on by adding more coal to the furnace as we turn up the heat on the Roman naval front. Our goal is to blockade them for now and start limiting their expansion (although they will keep materializing armies and monies... every little bit helps). And then we get a surprise from one of our own settlements in a rather comical fashion!

Using Fleet on Rome is pretty much useless. They are hardcoded to generate wealth out of nowhere so they can expand and be the "Roman Empire". Ofcourse this applies to battles too. If you let AI take control you will lose battles that seem one sided towards you. Focus on building your economy by capturing key cities in Italy, preferably from the Scippi or the Brutus. You will have to play the battles themselves, despite how small they might be, because the game is just biased towards the Romans.

Oh I get that - the computer just has that magic money option. I am doing it mostly just to reign them in and make sure that any naval operations I do are free from being contested by them!
