![]() ![]() One problem with this is that the dark forests beyond Roman lands can provide perfect platforms for ambushes and the like. If the player so chooses, they can blitzkrieg through the barbarian lands. Not to mention, they won t have very big populations, either, making unit recruitment HARD. Developing these cities will take some time. The barbarian cities are relatively poor and weak. Another perk is that your starting army contains a unit of Roman archers and Triarii! How handy! Disadvantages: Besides, once you gain the upper hand, barbarians flee like the uncivilized savages they are. ![]() The barbarians themselves cannot make siege equipment (although there may be a mod (is there?), which, when enabled, will allow barbarians to recruit ballistae and onagers from captured artillery ranges). True, the barbarians field powerful early-game and late-game units such as Berserkers, Foresters and British Chariots, but with the right strategy, combined with the hardy Roman troops, a beginner can deal with these problems. Most of the barbarian armies are not as good compared to the civilized, disciplined legions of Rome. Short campaign goals: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy the Gauls Long campaign goals: Hold 50 provinces including Rome The noble Julii have been tasked with exterminating the unwashed barbarians of Gaul, Britannia, Spain and Germania. This is all outlined in greater detail below. This is indeed a very tough choice, as the three Roman campaigns and families have their disadvantages and advantages. Obviously factions that will battle mostly on forest maps won't profit as much as factions on plains or desert.The three Roman factions that are playable at the beginning of the game (before you have unlocked any other factions) are the Julii, the Scipii and the Brutii.Ī common question that plagues the new player is: Which faction do I want to play? Personally, I would probably look for a faction with high damage artillery pieces, strong spear+shield infantry to play battles defensively with, possibly heavy cav to counter AI light cav assaults on exposed artillery. ![]() What factions, tech-wise and gameplay-wise, would profit most from arty? How would you use them most effectively in battle? Would you research siege tech, which I never do? What's your take on artillery in Rome 2? So now I was thinking about really focusing on artillery with my next campaign and get some input from you guys. And even though their damage is on the lower side compared to other factions and I didn't invest any research (not even ammunition I believe) those 2 ballistas usually wipe out 1-2 units each if I count together the numbers, more than my elite infantry on average. In Rome 2 I usually run 2 ballistas per stack and have done so with Parthia, the Iceni and now the Suebi. Which makes sense considering the game covers that historical period when field artillery first became a central element of every battle. I started using it heavily the first time during Stainless Steel campaigns and in Empire (and I believe Napoleon as well, didn't like it) the potential of arty became very obvious. I've been playing the series for a long time and one thing I love is using artillery. Think we missed one? Give us a Modmail and suggest new Subreddits to add to the lists!
