Nope. I believe only items that have faction-wide effects will do anything when assigned to someone's wife.
My current king is considered a "Bad Leader" (despite having a high rank and being quite the force in battle), which is giving me some faction-wide nerfs. Is there anything I can do to turn him into...
More often than not, I tend to peace out with them, and usually they're either willing to go for a non-aggression treaty or outright become client states of mine (you will have to chip away at...
Hah! You are exactly right! Just went to buy the DLC and voila, there's the Arche Bosphorus faction. :)
I'd like to play the Grand Campaign as the Bosporan Kingdom (that little Greek state at the northern shore of the Black Sea), but I'm not offered that option in the faction selection screen when...
I wish the game didn't have 20 units per army but maybe 24 or 26. That way one wouldn't have to spread stuff out over 2 stacks. With only 20 units, it sucks losing valuable unit slots to supporting...
I love to play as Rome (obviously), Carthage or the Suebi. The latter faction is particularly rewarding because it's a lot more challenging (though still not super difficult).
The AI usually has a lot of these in its armies, a lot more than there should realistically be if they really are so "elite".
EDIT: Which, by the way, is something I noticed about DeI in general....
I have a question about the Kaledoni (that Gallic faction from Scotland). They have a lot of very heavily armored units (some have 80 armor). Now I know that the Celts in Gaul and especially the...
Yeah, I'm with you. The amount of game-breaking bugs that are STILL in the game is quite staggering, considering this has been out for almost 7 years.
P.S. Set battle time limit to 30 minutes to...
Is it really a bug? It has been my impression that one of the recent patches changed the ancillary pool from one global one for all political parties to each party having its own pool.
Ironically, while your own cities' control zones won't necessarily stop enemy armies from moving through them, it takes your armies 3 to 4 turns to move around a friendly city that belongs to a...
I think that depends heavily on your diplomatic reliability rating and your relations with that faction (you can have negative relation points if they hate you from what you did to a previous...
Why not? That's what would most likely happen in real life. If you capture a region you don't want to rule directly, you should at least have the option of installing a puppet regime.
My guess is that you want too much too quickly. Spend a few years keeping a low profile, building up your economy and making alliances / trade treaties. In the time it will take to do these things,...
Yes, pikemen are kind of hit and miss. Sometimes they seem fairly useless, other times they absolutely slaughter the opposition. Today, my Markomanni pikemen completely obliterated a bunch of Nervii...
How long did you wait? I've had cases where, for some reason, a faction takes like AAAGES to complete its turn, leaving me to think that the game has locked up, but then, after a few minutes, the...
Meh, naval battles are literal cancer in Rome 2. Flawed as they were in NTW / ETW, at least they were somewhat manageable and actually quite fun in those titles. In Rome 2, they're 100% pure suckage....
Markamannoz Speutagardaz (Germanic pikemen) have 300 men, but their manpower cost when recruiting is only 200.
All I can tell you is that, every time I get an Extreme Blizzard event, all my Suebi units in the same province suffer 10% casualties. All of them, without exception. So either none of the Suebi...
I feel like the whole personality trait system was designed by an incorrigible cynic. For instance, I have never seen a happily married general / politician. Even if one of the spouses has good...
Ooh, I LOVE ballistas. Given how much easier they make winning battles, I almost feel like having a bunch of them in an army is cheating, but I don't care ... the AI can go sod itself. :tongue:
As far as I know, there aren't any units in the game that are immune to extreme-blizzard attrition. If there are, I haven't encountered them yet.
IMO, the reason Rome didn't sue for peace with Pyrrhus and later to Hannibal is that they knew that, despite having suffered serious defeats, they still had a lot of fight left in them. In a...
Playing as the Suebi, these are really getting on my nerves, and I'm quite fed up with how I'm getting them basically every darn winter. Is there a way to disable that event or at least lower the...
Cool, I thought as much. Thank you. :)
In my new Suebi campaign, I just noticed that the movement speed value for both Skutjanz and Sakutones (Germanic archers) is shown as 4 in the unit stats display, but the little bar next to the...
The heaviest that I have encountered so far are those 2 Roman auxiliary cataphract units recruitable in Pannonia.
Interesting. I wish things like these would also be shown in the unit stats display. :yes:
Oh, is that a thing in DeI? I was under the impression that early versions of Rome 2 had 2 separate armor value for shield and body-armor but that that was later done away with in favor or just 1...
Question: Why are Apulii Extraordinarii so damned good?
Apulii Extraordinarii (an AOR unit recruitable in southern Italy) have insanely good stats. Compared to Veteran Marian Legionaries, they...
You may already know this, but one thing you can do to get some relief (if your financial situation allows it) is to find out which of your provinces run the biggest food deficit and then exempt...
I have that all the time. Many of my allies / client states love parking their armies in my territory, sometimes even if it's the other end of the world to them. If there is an easy fix I'd love to...
IA map? What does IA mean in this context?
Sadly, no. Because I would love to know what killed my general. His unit was an Imperial Praetorian Cohort, and he was posted a little behind the main line. Must have been a stray javelin from one of...
Is it possible to change how spies / governors / etc can prevent an army from moving someplace just because one guy is already sitting on that spot? I've had occasions where an agent prevented an...
I just had an amazing battle, where literally EVERYTHING went exactly as I had planned. My army (consisting of my 2 best legions) completely smashed an Egyptian army + garrison force. Due to my...
