Rome Total War-Barbarian Invasions

[JagLover]

I finally got around to playing this game and I am playing two games at the moment. One as the Huns the other as The Western Roman empire.

Has anyone succesfully completed the game as the Western Empire, on the hardest level of difficulty?. I am trying at the moment and it is hard. You have no money, your cities are always on the edge of revolt, and your infantry, for the most part, are useless.

I suppose that is the point; because it was all these reasons that the Western Empire was doomed. But has anyone managed to reverse history?

I am part of the way through and have used a similar strategy.

I looked at how likely some cities were to revolt and simply moved all of my soldiers out of the ones I thought couldn't be kept in order to concentrate on ones I may have a chance.

I am also trying to survive on pillaging towns (using the exterminate option).

I am still in minus funds at present. I will have to look more closely at the religous aspect.
