I have the more diplomatic options sub mod enabled as well
Is it all grown blokes watching women in little outfits sing cheesy pop songs living as like Z list celebrities? Is this like realistic portrayal lower leagues of J-pop artist?
Will I lose any of the units if I start without the DLC?
Played as the Iceni, which my only sidenote is the barbarian factions feel like they had little less love than the Italian and Greek factions.
Took me a while to get use to the mechanics and I made a few mistakes. Population, supply and public order are constant issues which require planning or face quick distaster. Slowly united the British Isles, then joined with our celtic brothers Arvernin to attack the Germans. After singing 'two world wars, one world cup' at them we slowly divided the German clans. Then I had German colony of my own. Two regions under my direct control and another one under partial control with a german puppet in control of half the region.
Normally at this ponit in total war you snowball so fast that it's between you and one other superpower to paint the map however the Mod made dealing with even minor factions require planning and strategy. I like the way if you negelct an area it can become a huge problem across your entire. So over extension and binding painting the map are real concerns.
Everytime id plan for the inevitable showdown with Rome, Scythian raiding threatened me with losing all of Germany and then a very bloodly civil war broke out. Scoland and Ireland succeeded and threatened to take all of england.
The stakes felt like a defining moment of when the Empire and my campaign could have easily ended at ponit, where normally it gets boring.
After reuniting my empire I preprepared for the final showdown with Rome. It felt suitable epic as their armies were legion and their units superior tomain in mine in nearly everyway.
I had betray allies to not get pull into fighting on another font, lose regions, sacrifice my best generals to bring Rome to heel, and sack the eternal city itself. Not long after taking all of mainland Italy i wom the cultural victory.
Big fan of this mod, made me love the game again. Look forward to playing the Greeks next who the Mod feels better suited to.
Their arrows block out the sun, my archers seem to be nowhere near as good and require 3 units to take down one of their Cav archer units and the Iceni lack decent amoured units which seem to make it a duck shoot. Is there any army composition that will help or is it a case of just using meat stacks with bad teeth till they run out of arrows and charge head on?
Dont really want to start wars with allies unless its the very last option. Is all just a question of massive gifts? Want to finish this campaign and move and to a new one so just looking to end it no matter how cheesy the diplomacy.
Just as thought exercise if you had to defend one as a successor, who would you pick? Clever and wiley Ptolmey? Crafty Antigonos?underdog Seleucus? Or maybe even more left feild Olympias and Alexander other family members?
Been play pharaoh dynasties, love the game but the Aegean dont feel quite right here.
I know this is long shot but I saw a post claiming they brought weekend ticket for rock retreat but were able to set up camp on the Wednesday, just couldn't enter the actual festival site due to 3 day wristband. Does anyone have any experience with this or is it bullshit?
