I've looked through my cards, and I only have 5 emperors, which wouldn't be too bad, except that there's only 4-5 enh. that are decent that are actually NT.  I need some advice on what cards to put in.  Thanks!


My only emperors that I have are:
Galba
Otho
Tiberius
Caius Caligula
Augustus (I think I have him, but I can't seem to find him right now)

I also can't really put much money into buying cards.  So, what should I add to the ECs to make them better, and what enh. should I use?  Thanks!

Well first you put in Romans. And then you put in cards that go with romans (matching brigades is always nice). Then you make an offense and play. 

Four steps...

1) Go to Redemption NE: Wildcard, and check out last years Nationals winning deck.

2) Build a defense similar to that one.

3) Tweak it until it matches your play style.

4) Unleash it.

Step 2.5 - Add RoA cards. 

I would recommend against relying too much on Rome (or Ashdod) and putting in tons of off-color enhancements. But then again, I have a tough time playing with even two main colors in an offense or defense, while many people get by with five different colors having just as many cards as each other, so that may just be personal preference.
