Gallic Rome will look to build a strong base at the start of the game, using public order buffs to keep cities happy whilst their armies are away fighting.Īurelian, the feared leader of Rome, benefit from the "Iron Fist" trait, giving his faction a -50% resistance to foreign occupation. Led by the fearsome Tetricus, Gallic Rome benefit the "Romanisation" and "Administrators" traits which grant a bonus to public order when Latin culture is present and -20% political action costs respectively. Zenobia begins as the smallest Roman faction and will need to rely on her superior technology to keep up with Rome and Gallic Rome.

So better wait guys, though legendary campaign doesn't take that much time, something around 1 week.Learn how to play the Roman factions in the Empire Divided DLC for Total War: ROME II with this handy guide. :)Īlso another thing, you could make you first enemy as your client mate by force, his army will help to protect your lands, if you're playing with a totally hated faction, never needed to do this with Rome nor Athens, but still a valid option. Seek for allies/trades/non agression with you don't want to attack, later they could become your client mate by their own choose, also will ensure you a safe start to expand freely, and the another rule besides diplomacy is target the weakenst and expand as faster as possible, do this and the game is done.Īt least that would be my play style if I pick Gaetae, the same as always but more freely and with more resources to be offensive, so for me at least seems a really good passive. On very beginning of the game, there's only 2 rules. Then on next turn you attack another faction and take his city with help of your previous faction army + turn faction army + another wave of mercenarys, and keep pushing forward. You would only hire the amount you would need, put all mercenarys on front lines and win the match with less support from your faction army as possible, after the battle all mercenarys would be probably dead or near it, if you've used them correctly, while your faction troops would be all alive. So, with one general you'll keep making 3 units every turn, then send those units to another general who goes expand, with this general you could hire mercenarys as well, for 2 reasons.Ģ - with 50% discount it will be very cheap. Mercs also dont respawn every turn and some areas have nothing but dribble.Īs parthia i destroyed them nomads :) I love parthian archers. Originally posted by SHADOW OF THE BAT!!:No you couldn't as mercs dont fill a full stack and youd lose cities to rebels by not having a big enough army to suppress. those mercenarys could be recruited to conquer factions with 1 city, then disband then, with this option, you could take 1 city per turn which is pretty amazing, also give a option to use them for defense in emergences if needed, though it would be pretty expensive. Yup, that's why I spend more gold against those folks, than any other faction, actually I can manage to kill 1:2, 1:3 even 1:5, but agains those I tend to use 1:1 army, cause archers die so quickly, and infantary can't reach.īut I was playing with greeks, with toons of pikes against those horse archers (lol) The nomad factions are decent the ai is the best in the game as they spam horse archers with heavy cav and yiu need archers to counter them otherwise they will shred heavy infantry spam. So if you scrap all the mercs after winning a battle sure you can win some battles but thats like once in a blue moon and better to have a full stack.
