Sharkbait
Warlord
Finished at 430 AD and didn't suffer any probs with the scenario - except for those of my own making.
I built a temple (or was it a barracks - I forget) and then sold it straight away and bribed Rome. Never had a barb attack me. Built a palace and started conquering.
I should have finished sooner (maybe 300 or so) but my management of my ships and crusaders was lacking - I tended to put too many troops on an invasion, then had to ship a few which were never needed off to the next battle. They should have already been there if I worked a bit harder at it. Oh well...
A fun game though, with most of my trading done with India.
