I actually found the VC easiest followed by the Empire. Haven't finsihed the Dwarves yet but can't compare as I'm playing them on hard. Mannfred is a beast of a lord and the Vampire lords are very...

I usually place gunners on the flanks and crossbowmen in the middle. Crossbowmen retreat behind the melee line and focus on enemy ranged, flying or large units when the fighting starts. I protect...

Things don't always go as planned. I'm playing the Empire on turn 100. I ended up fighting Brettona because they had expanded into the Empire and took Marienburg, Middenland and Nordland and...

Karl Franz was the Elector Count of Reikland and Prince of Altdorf and was chosen as Emperor like his father before him. The Emperor is chosen from among the elector counts. He isn't hated by...

this is why we have fast forward button.

I need some tips on playing Chaos.

I have no problems winning battles but the horde mechanic is irking me. I took my Chaos horde to ravage Norsca but got into trouble after I built my second...

I enjoy it, I wish though it's true potential could have been realized.

I wish that sieges had been properly implemented and fixed
I wish that the political faction system would have made it into...

What happens if you have a 41 unit army and bring in a stack of reinforcements? Do they all participate in the battle or do they just trickle in when you have lost a unit?

A) Pikes
B) Archers
C) Heavy Cavalry

The only threat to pikes is skirmishers and pikes. Use archers or cav to take away those threats and you will win...BIG

Working Siege, Better Siege A.I

Let's face it CA is never going to fix sieges in R2. Giving the A.I free siege equipment is just a quick fix.

I reported it to Steam, there is a flag under the mod for all of you who wish to report, don´t forget to leave a link to the original mod

Are there victory conditions? Never looked at them

In Rome 2 I usually have no problem with FF but the trick is not to order your troops to fire into melee just let them pick targets by themselves. I only manually pick targets in melee when I have to...

I just wish they could fix the damn sieges!!!!!

I'm actually playing the ERE but have the same problem because I've kept my alliance with WRE I am at war with everybody.

It was hard enough with nomads attacking Greece and Thracia and I was...

I just hate that almost every army I face has Onagers and I never employ them unless I'm besieging.

Guess I'll have to start every battle with my scout equites running around dodging rocks

I noticed the same while using my shock cavalry as the Sassanids against slingers. Didnt understand how they trashed my hvy cavalry but seems you have found the reason

Are you kidding me, if they use rocks they can still devastate a light cavalry unit on a full gallop. Last battle I rushed the A.I and it only got 250 kills with its one unit of mercenary onagers.

Yeah I got the diplo penalty in abundance as I'm the 4th strongest faction. Nobody wants to talk to me and as relations detoriate, treaties get broken and soon I'll make no distinction between friend...

I gave up after 3 tries with my factionleader who is a widower with one son, guess I'll just adopt instead. Feel sorry for a guy who conquered the British Isles and rules Denmark, South Sweden and...

To say that Attila UI is better than R2 is weird and that someones opinions should be ignored based on his taste in UI is childish.

Attilas UI has significant problems like the UI in battles when...

If the OP was fighting axemen on VH battle difficulty his Legio is going to get shredded because most of their damage is going to ignore armor. Then on VH the A.I gets buffs on their stats not only...

I think most of the realists and veterans of the franchise noticed that Rome 2 was terrible at launch. I just remember my first battles with ships sailing across land all the time and units getting...

Lost the first battle I played on VH. Took my Geats and assaulted Høfn, the Danish settlement, my damn levies broke and ran, couldn't grind through the Danes superior numbers, so I recruited more...

Oh well...found a toggle for the unit stats /shameful dispray

Ok first thing I noticed that irks me is the info panel for units....they ditched stats for...for... a summary which is for imbeciles!!!! Now I have to go to the online encyclopedia to get hard...

Disillusioned I guess. Dont feel the rush to play it

I think you can even just select the city and attack the army with your garrison, I have done it plenty of times at least with blockades

Troll around the forums is a good start....or wishful thinking might help too

Higher than where? I make more money than the average australian per year and I have no education to speak of but still I pay for my games in € on steam. I preordered Rome for 55€, according to...

I think he meant one per stack....roman stacks are called legions

Yup pretty much, I work as regional manager for a large corporation who screws over it's customers when it can. The sales division sprouts lies all over, there isn't communication between...

Yep I time traveled to the future and got it early.......or I got bad information from wikipedia. Which is it?

What will you choose...the fish or the box?

The problem is that Total War has no direct competition in the genre, the only game I know that has come close is Imperial Glory. The people at CA did probably not decide to make a sub par Total War...

What he said /\

Your army stack of praetorian guard is unhistorical so you must disband it immediately

You are a bit late, Empire was released the 21. of april 2008

It will update at 12:00 Galactic Space Time, this has been confirmed with the moon people so bring out your pointy hats

But...wait you can! You can send your replenishments piecemeal with a general! I actually do this when I lose units, I send my go fetch general with reinforcements

It is ridiculously effective, If you poision enough you will get a trait which comes in 3 levels which will make your spy inflict around 50% casualties. I once decided to see how effictive it was and...
