Hi there.
I noticed there's only two threads on this forum talking about playing the final Cleopatra mission Actium, but they don't specify the difficulty that the mission had been played on. For the purposes of this thread/question, I'll assume that the previous threads were played on Hard or less.
In both threads, the recommendation is that the player has a significant amount of carry over funds in order to just gift yourself funds to stay out of debt, and also to get the required Kingdom Rating (only really necessary for VH, since it starts at 40, the others start at 50 or above that value). I would only expect someone to need to use the funds for boosting KR on Hard if they somehow got a debt anniversary and not at all on any lower difficulty (Very Easy to Normal)
With the fact that it is basically impossible to get a Ra blessing due to a lack of Festival Square on the mission (I had 10 temples and 56 shrines and he refused to go above 2 ankhs), you have to rely on those funds on Very Hard, as there's only one event to increase your KR which may or may not go above 50 if you have low KR in the first place.
This has got me thinking: has anyone actually played this mission without using the carry over funds from Cleopatra's Alexandria and won? If so, what strategy did you use?
TIA for the responses.
