Just got to Fort Tiryns, I completed all the objectives ( 1 Polemarch, 3 Captains, 3 War Supplies, 4 Treasures) but I didnβt get the βLocation Completeβ thing to pop up, and on the map the icon for the Fort isnβt checked off. So I got myself killed and went to the last checkpoint. Now itβs saying none of the objectives are done yet none remain in the Fort, all treasures are looted all captains are killed etc. Does anyone know how I might fix this?

Hey all. I'm writing a paper on the LBA collapse, focusing specifically on what happened in the cities after the palaces were destroyed. My professor suggested I focus on Mycenae and Tiryns because there's plenty of evidence that they continued to be inhabited in some shape or form after the collapse.
Could you suggest any good/relevant sources for me to use? I have some but I could definitely use some more.
I ask this because I was looking at some linear B and it dawned upon me that it was only a snapshot of what the Mycenaeans were, and it would be so hard to try to assess development from them!
I only played the first Rome Total War many years ago, so I thought I'd start with the tutorial, as Agamemnon, everything on easy. I quickly conquered everything owned by the Corinthians and Tiryns - you start at war with both - then just followed the missions. I colonized a few Islands to the east, explored the Greek coast, and focused on peace-time stuff.
I get Mycenae to level 5, build some of the best military buildings, create a serious army. I'm ranked 2nd power in the world. Pretty early on you already get a mission to declare war on a neighbor, which I finally do in turn 60 or so. Argos is first, they only own two settlements, next to my lands. And no allies or anything. I beat them very easily, and conquer their settlements in two turns.
The turn after I peace out, 3 small nations in the Macedonia area (pretty far away) declare war on me. Our relations are neutral, and they were not allied with Argos, or with each other, so I have no clue why. I'm still number 2 power, and have a steadfast (0) diplo rating, as I had no agreements with Argos so I got no malus. But my allies Sparta and Salamis drop their alliances at the first war declaration on me, while I had good relations with them also.
Next turn, more nations declare on me, and the next, and the next, and soon I'm at war with over 20 nations. I checked their relations towards me and they're all neutral, just get negative modifiers because I'm at war with them. I don't understand why this started? Argos is not one of the 'Danaan Pillar' nations, and anyway my direct neighbors don't declare war on me, it's all nations pretty far away. All enemies get an average -10 relation modifier because I have Troizen as vassal, not sure why...
I thought of a few things that might have ruined this tutorial playthrough:
- Agamemnon is not supposed to conquer, but should only use diplomatic play (but then why do you get a mission to declare war on someone?)
- Agamemnon is not supposed to conquer any of the Danaan nations (although I have no clue how to find out which nations these are exactly)
- I powered up my armies too fast. When I started the war against Argos I had a 20 strong main army, made up of mostly elite heavy units, some archers and some chariots. All top tier units, with lots of bonuses from my hero, +15 from temple of Hephaistos and stuff like that. I also had one army exploring with about 10 units, and a defensive army with another 10 units. It might be I became so powerful so fast

Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.
.
.
He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
And then you will all be sorry.
No it doesn't.
Now itβs syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
I will find you. You have my Word.
She said how do you know he was headed to work?
βthank you for your cervix.β
Made me smile
Mods said I'm a cereal reposter...
But now I stand corrected.
Wait. Sorry, wrong sub.
Theoretical Fizz-ics
Because you canβt βCβ in the dark
I said, βThat makes two of us.β
so I had to ground him.
He's doing better currently.
And conducting himself properly.
Me: Can we change the subject?
My wife: Okay. More chores around the house need to be done by you.
(It was suggested to me that I post this here. Considering I'm writing this paper for an archaeology class, I feel silly for not doing this earlier.)
