![]() Rome works best as an army, but when they are separated, the “Divide and conquer” principle comes into effect. Their biggest disadvantage is when they get separated you will see why mainly if you play the historical battle Teutoburg Forest. Overall, it is average, but unlike other factions, Rome cannot boost it using abilities (unless you have purchased the Caesar in Gaul DLC). Also, one must take into consideration their melee defence. Relying too much on auxiliaries or lighter units makes your army less able to hold off enemy attacks, something that the Hellenic factions will use to their advantage. Relying too much on very heavy infantry makes you much more immobile than the barbarians who can use this as an opportunity to flank and hit your rear. Numidian cav are great for harassing enemy cav or elephants and perhaps making them run amok into their own lines. The Balearic slingers and Syrian archers enable Rome to engage at longer ranges. Auxiliary cav are heavy but are quite useful and better than Legionary cav. Because they rely on very heavy units, it may be a good idea to invest in lighter units in other places, such as skirmishers or cavalry.

I hope you guys enjoy this guide because I enjoyed writing it. ![]() Nevertheless, with every Total War game, you learn just a bit more, and after a while I bought Attila and the tactics that I used in Rome 2 worked quite well in Attila for a while. The very first one I had was Napoleon, and I brought my experience from that game over to Shogun 2, then that experience (which was pretty bad because of the game speed) over to Rome 2, where I found out that I could not always have the same approach. 2.5k hours into the game later and I have been able to take a lot from this game and now I want to share my knowledge with you.Īs stated in the description, this is not my first Total War game. I was very skeptical about investing so much time into Rome 2 at first, but when Emperor Edition came out, I enjoyed the fully optimized game and quickly took this opportunity to learn the most I could about the game. When the game was released, weapon damage was introduced. After a few patches, the game speed was returned to normal. Nevertheless, the mechanics that Rome 2 brings is different than its predecessor, Shogun 2. ![]() Rome 2 has gone from a game that was poorly optimized yet received critical acclaim to a game that is pretty nice, even though it took a complete year to fully patch it.
