Only their spear warband can do this among barbarian factions.
I crushed it easily of course while playing as the Julii back then but I have to admit. This was a surprise.
Granted I have never seen anything similar like it in other similar strategy games.
Rebels rose up with gold chevrons and a full stack, needless to say I'm not getting the setlement back anytime soon
Hail the new emperor.
I recently bought the mobile version of the game and started playing again, and I realized I'd never played on any difficulty other than normal.
The first time I've played on Very Hard, and I just defended Segestica from an attack of 2200 enemies with the remaining troops I had in the city.
My army had 1 general +55 guards, 160 townwatch, 378 early legionaries, and 97 triarii. At the end of the battle, 13 guards, 1 watchman, and 20 legionaries remained, My general died at the very end, in the third-to-last charge before the end of the battle.
Just discovered that I apparently CAN get mods on steamdeck without a computer science degree a v excited to spruce up one of my fav games, any recs much appreciated.
I got bad happines in settlement due to squalor mostly and then get kicked out due rioting, so I besieged it back and exterminated the people and then I saw that its making more money, at first it was like 1100 coins but when exterminating it was like 2750 coins.
Like why? Shouldnt it be like more people = higher taxes?
Funny stuff
In my Julii campaign I sent two units of equites as military observers to follow Brutii and Scipii armies. Brutii lost every single battle they had against Greece. Scipii barely managed to conquer Sicily. Brutii were doing so bad that I conquered Rhodes, Crete and most of Greece for myself.
Meanwhile I have decimated the Gauls. This campaign has been really fun. I highly recommend military observer equites.
Hey everyone!
I'm just a beginner and have only won on easy mode so far. After annihilating major factions, I sometimes find myself burdened with heavy armies rendered useless by the newfound peace.
I wondered if there was a way to disband a whole army at once instead of disbanding every single unit individually ? This is cumbersome.
Thanks in advance for your answers !
i've tried it for 2 hours on a dacia and spain VH campaign and it feels like the graphics are kinda useless since i don't look up at clashes closely and mostly just micro
Graphics wise it kinda feels weird the OG rome 1 feels like a abstraction while the remastered sits in a weird place in between realistic and abstraction
Instead of sending a diplomat on a world tour to secure trade rights with piss-poor distant factions, why not leave him in Italy and task him with extorting money from your fellow Romans?
Start the game by offering to attack as many factions as possible (eight is the maximum the UI will let you haggle for). Neither diplomatic stance nor relations seem to matter.
The most I've managed to get this way is 1k for 9 turns from the Senate and 1k for 7 turns from my allies. In some versions of the game, once you follow through on your promise, you can immediately ask for a onetime payment in exchange for attacking the same target faction again.
And since the AI receives large cheat donations on higher difficulties, your allies will always have some spare money until you no longer need their help.
I genuinely thought they were "uniquely shaped rocks".
This was one of those things that also "flew over my head". Back turn, at least.
Playing with the REX mod and the first thing I noticed is there are new difficulty levels. Is there a readme or something to explain the changes? I don't use/have discord where I presume (?) there is more information.
So basically while I was Playing the Scipii one of my cities rebelled but after rebelling did this Rebel Diplomat just spawn out of the city does this normally happen? (Sorry I am a little bit new to the game)
I just bought Rome 2 yesterday when it has 80% discount, I only buy DLC related to grand campaign and the only franchise I’ve touched is shogun 2 to;dr I am a new player
They are pretty similar but some are more situational then other.
Spartan Pikemen seems fit in this but their stats are worse than these 3, the only thing it has better than those 3 is 70 health compare to 60 health, and it is from tier 3 barrack.
I think it is better to compare Spartan Pikemen to Thorax Pikemen, Bronze Shield Pikemen and African Pikemen
Even though Bronze Shield Pikemen is tier 4, it is way worse than the trio so I don't include them in here
