I wish to verify the victory conditions in the online strategy guide. It says I need
3 cities in Italy - I don't like this too much because the southernmost city takes a long time to become really viable, you really can't get by with just 2?
2 cities in Spain - I don't like this because I'm going to lose those cities when the Spanish and Portuguese civilizations start. Can I get by with just 1?
2 cities in Germany - this isn't even historical. Can a city in the no man's land between Rome and Greece count? The Romans did expand into Romania, so that would be historical. The Romans only briefly attempted to expand east of the Danube.
3 cities in France - no complaint here because the cities are started for you by the Celts. The 4 legions you start the game with are more than adequate to take these cities.
