Here’s the build order of the successful game. Franks Deity – Contain Celts and Goths and conquer Rome Franks Deity – Build Order
So Lutetia must be our priority early on. And they put up a much more fierce resistance compared to the Romans.
While this felt like a good step into Northern Italy quite early in the game, I learned: Unless you focus on Lutetia right from the start – it will fall to the Celts. In a branch of my successful playing the Franks on Deity, I turned on Castra Regina, right after capturing Trier and Gesoriacum. So the strategy was clear: Other Barbarians Germanic peoples needed to be contained, but must not distract from the goal. Score leader were the Huns who left not much of the Eastern Roman Empire and scored 12200. My conquest ended with the siege of Ravenna. Time that I lacked in the end to capture Roman cities. It took quite some time despite the lower level of difficulty. In a first attempt I played on Fall of Rome – Franks on Immortal difficulty only and invaded the Celts. Focusing on the West, the historic Franks weren’t as restless as the Goths, who matched their conquest and focused on Italy, taking Rome (Ostrogoths) and even surpassed the Franks on their southern flank, settling in present-day Spain (Visigoths). The Franks, our historic example, conquered or rather claimed most of Gaul, the Northwestern Part of the Roman Empire, basically today’s France. Playing the Franks in Fall of Rome basically sets the foundation for what historically became both France and the Holy Roman Empire: Starting East of the Rhine and in the lower Rhine region with the cities of Duisburg, Cologne, Betuwe, Tongres and Tiel we’ll start our long march through and supporting the end of the Roman Empire.
