literally every second custom battle lobby i join has some guy who box-camps in the corner of the red line with pikes and heavy missiles. it’s so annoying to play against.

normally i try to just bring heavy artillery or wait them out, but it completely ruins the fun of the match.

was talking about this with my campaign/battle group last night and we couldn’t agree on the best way to crack them open without taking massive losses. what’s your go-to strategy to deal with these guys?

transitioning from vanilla to dei was a massive reality check for me lmao.

in my first campaign as rome i literally marched two full stacks through the alps in winter with zero supply trains. obviously they all starved to death before even reaching the town and got wiped by a simple garrison.

then i won a pyrrhic victory with triarii and sat there for 15 turns wondering why they weren't replenishing, not realizing i depleted the entire province's patrician class.

to top it off i expanded way too fast trying to get imperium 5 for marian reforms, triggered a massive civil war, and got rolled.

what was the stupidest campaign-ending mistake you guys made when you first swapped over? trying to see if my buddies and i in our campaign group are the only ones who struggled this hard starting out lol

Hey guys, I’ve been playing Rome II for a long time and I’m honestly just tired of starting campaigns that die after a few turns.

Feels like nobody really plays Rome II properly anymore, especially long campaigns or consistent multiplayer without rage quitting.

So I made a Discord called The Grand Forum for people who actually want reliable co-op/MP partners, proper long campaigns, and battles that don’t fall apart after a few turns. We also run Divide et Impera (DEI) mod campaigns.

If you’re into Rome II and still actively play, join here:

Hey guys,

Every time I start a Rome 2 co-op or head-to-head campaign with a random, they end up quitting by turn 10. It's almost impossible to find a reliable partner.

A few of us started a Discord server called The Grand Forum specifically to find reliable campaign partners, run clean 4v4 battles, and just talk history/tactics. We treat it like a gaming family—no toxic randoms or ghosting.

If you want a campaign that actually reaches the late game, or just want to run some matches, you're welcome to join:

Hey everyone,

Most of us log on to play Rome 2, look at the dead lobbies or toxic randoms, and end up logging off without playing. It’s hard to find a regular group of guys who just want to play campaigns, run clean 4v4s, and talk history.

We started a Discord called The Grand Forum because we miss that old-school clan feeling. We aren't trying to build a massive server; we just want a real group of brothers who have each other’s backs.

If you're tired of playing alone, you don't have to. You're welcome with us.

See you there, brother.

Hey everyone,

I've been playing Rome 2 for a while, and honestly, playing campaigns solo or dealing with random multiplayer lobby toxicity gets pretty old.

A few of us started a Discord server called The Grand Forum (TGF) to find people who actually want to play co-op campaigns, run clean 4v4 custom battles, or just chat about history without the usual internet drama.

We treat each other like family here. We've got a couple of organized teams (just waiting for the members) to make staging custom matches easy, and we even have a daily history bot that posts interesting facts to talk about.

If you're looking for a chill group of brothers to play with, discuss tactics, or just talk about ancient history, you're more than welcome to join us:
