#ROME 2 TOTAL WAR EASIEST FACTION HOW TO#

It's even good at attacking, as long as you know how to properly attack with it. 400 hoplites and levy pikemen because of the OPed formation. How are phalanxes wierd? The pike on is amazing, and hoplites on the flanks is impenetrable. I don't like the Macedons and Spartans because the falanxes are just, yeah, wierd (Egypt has them too but the advantage of the nice starting position makes up for that). It seems like Rome is the easiest, the nomad tribes seem to be most likely to be the hardest to play as. Parthia has the real fun of cavalery (as you might expect), so the battles are really fun (the cavalery aren't that much affected by the crappy unit collission).īut yeah, the only real difference between the factions are the starting position and the culture. The year is 399 BC, and Rome is poised for greatness. Parthia is really fun too (in my oppinion), but you get in a total war very quickly.

The Ardiaei have such a roster in the begging that you will soon get stomped by your neighbours, you get the best barbarian fleet in a game where naval combat is broken and meaningless. I'm gonna try it on hard now, and then on legendary. I find the Ardiaei, Tylis and all of the Black sea colonies have a pretty hard start. I played this faction on easy because it was my first campaign and I wanted to know how easy easy is. You even can cross the ocean and invade the greeks. So the most cost effective killing of elite/special units is always missile troops. As long as you can have 2 - 3 minutes to shoot the enemy, they will die, even elites. You can go to Afrika, or defeat the Selucids and go to Pontus, or you can go Asian. An effective tactic is to basically get a few defensive melee units (hoplites for example), and then 10+ javelins or archer units in your army.

They have a huge variaty of troups, and you can really plan what you gonna do early-game. Originally posted by memyselfandY21:I really like Egypt until now.
