Elite Replay Packs for Many Factions

[Garbad]

This thread is to provide a large list of mid game files for people to try. The packs allow the recruitment of ALL unit types available to the faction with a good income and stable situation. This allows you to expand as you wish and/or try out the units of the faction in an organic setting.

HOW TO PLAY:

File Explorer -> C:\ -> Users -> <Your Username> -> AppData (may be hidden, enable option to see hidden folders if needed) -> Roaming -> The Creative Assembly -> Rome2 -> Save_games

Just drop the file in that folder, start the game game, and select the saved game from your saved game list.

SUGGESTED SUBMODS:

- 12 turns per year (mainly so my generals don't all die before they get lots of stars)
- No unit upgrades pack (makes my troops less overpowered and encourages more diversity)
- Reduced Imperium for Reforms (makes it able to get elite troops without expanding so much)

CRUSADER STATES:

Some replays have a "C" in their name. This means they are a "crusader state" meaning instead of expanding where the faction ordinarily starts I sailed to a new place in the world and carved out a new home. This is intended to mix up factions fighting unusual opponents for variety and challenge. For example, I took Bactria and created a home in Spain to try out afgans and indian elephants against the celtic cultures. Try it out, things don't always work out as you might predict!

NOTE: DEI is intended to be played on normal, but I play on Very Hard/Very Hard to make it more challenging. This may mean AI battles are a lot harder than you are used to!

Arche Bosphorus (greek)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/47iad5l38f...%20E.save?dl=0
One of the best greek factions, featuring strong agriculture based economy and a blend of horselord and greek units. Elite hoplites, horsearchers, companian cavalry, fast moving steppe axemen, elite archers, rhompnirae, even reasonable adequate slingers/skirmishers make this one of the most well rounded greek factions. Ideal for people who like tactical variety.

Averni (celtic)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wvyunwbec...%20E.save?dl=0
Core Celtic culture, featuring excellent heavy infantry, a good assortment of cav, excellent naked shock warriors, and pretty much no missile units of at all.

Bactria - C (greek)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0gdhoqp0j4...%20C.save?dl=0
Powerful Indian Elephants, Greek core with Afgan skirmishers, horsebows, and light cav. One of the most interesting and powerful greek factions.

Basileion Odryson (thrace)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3uawpke9t...%20E.save?dl=0
Noble Falxman murder all other infantry, plus excellent skirmishers.

Boii (celtic)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hmb1wa0ip...%20E.save?dl=0
Pretty typical celtic faction with one interesting twist -- naked longsword/bow shock troops with fear. That one unit changes EVERYTHING.

Cantiabri (spanish)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gu7kdv8mre...%20E.save?dl=0
One of the most powerful endgame rosters in the game, featuring 2h axemen shock troops with fear, baeleric slinger ranged supremacy, excellent cavalry, and fast moving high offense infantry. One of the best hit and skirmish blends out there.

Getae (dacian)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmko1oklw9...%20C.save?dl=0
A wide variety of elite troops include godlike archers, horsearchers, good medium cavalary, falxmen, and many affordable medium quality units.

Galations (celtic)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gnhkhedsv7...%20E.save?dl=0
Common celtic core with probably the best medium cavalry in the game and some roman influenced heavy infantry types. Perhaps the most powerful celtic roster.

Horde (samaratan/horselords)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0dwwer7fd...%20E.save?dl=0
Perhaps the most difficult faction in the game early on, the Horde has superb cavalry of all kinds and very little else.

Iceni (british) - C
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bu3p92wecq...%20C.save?dl=0
A surprisingly excellent blend of heavy infantry, claymore shock troops, chariots, ambushers, and more.

Mamlakatha (arab) - C
https://www.dropbox.com/s/74y361rgtb...%20C.save?dl=0
Often overlooked, the arabs have camels (counter horses), good archers, great horsearchers, and fair infantry. If only they had Hygar Hygar!

Pergamon (greek)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2v85okg911...%20E.save?dl=0
Pergamon has elite versions of the typical greek units, making it a familiar but extremely powerful greek force.

Carthage (punic)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oziiun1iuy...%20E.save?dl=0
Elephants, iberian flavor, and old style hoplites.

Parthia (eastern)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fkkj2cd8gz...thia.save?dl=0
Elite Horse Archers, Cataphracts, Elite Foot Archers, Mediocre Infantry, and Elephants. Probably the best of the cavalry focused cultures.

ROME (sons of mars)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ih55n4tvsu...CTOR.save?dl=0
Carthage is defeated, Legionary reforms are live.

Sweboz (german)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1ibrgfyyj...%20E.save?dl=0
Shock infantry, ambushers, and fair cavalry.

Syracuse (greek)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hoapdnn2bo...usai.save?dl=0
Excellent lancers, the legendary gastraphaltes, and affordable medium quality units.

Taksashila (indian)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e59386hglk...%20E.save?dl=0
So you think the gastraphaltes is the best ranged unit, eh? Also features fast moving cav and fair infantry/skirmishers greek style.

[dahooscarl]

[Garbad]

And one for Hayasadan (a VERY difficult early game):

[Fluke]

Thank you for these!

[Garbad]

Any other nations people would like to see?

I would like to try Egypt if you have it.....& thanks for all the above in any case.

[svisvisvisvi]

Why are there industrial buildings everywhere? carthage can trade so well

Do you have any VH saves by chance?

[svisvisvisvi]

Thank you!

Yet why are there industrial buildings everywhere? carthage can trade so well

Do you have any VH saves by chance?

[Deathchant]

Thanks! As i am primarily a forum lurker I was actually about to come out of hiding and ask if anyone had any files like this for me to have a go at. I find that I struggle to commit to any campaigns, only play a few hours a week and i start something, spot a new mod or additional feature i want, restart again etc so i end up repeating the opening years of various factions but never actually getting to the higher tier units.

Is anyone aware of ever getting a game going where the map has a handful of very powerful AI factions by the end of the game? It is something I have always looked for in all Total War titles but have rarely got it.

Take a look at the Baktricia one. Rome is expanding very quickly and is already into marian reforms. I imagine in 25 turns or so the juggernauts will clash in greece in a true slugfest.

> Yet why are there industrial buildings everywhere?
? I rarely build industrial buildings. Most of it is farms. I'm not sure what you mean.

> Do you have any VH saves by chance?
No, sorry. The AI buffs aggravate the hell out of me in VH. I hate charging levy troops in the back with cataphacts and having them ignore me.

> I would like to try Egypt if you have it.....& thanks for all the above in any case.
I can do that. Any requests or just a general midgame save?

Midgame is fine
Thanks.

Here is an Egypt save. I have killed off the arabs and consolidated power a bit, but am still quite poor. I have four legions of varying quality (numidia/egypt hybrids) and one elite naval fleet. As of the save, I am starving out an ally who wouldn't leave my land, but rome is about to come calling...

Two more:

Cantibari:
http://www.filedropper.com/celtiiberianelite

Often overlooked, the iberian tribes had a great influence on the evolution of the Roman war machine. In this pack, the Iberians have formed a close tie with Rome, consolidated all of Spain, and wiped out Carthage before Scipio was even born. Featuring a potent blend of high offense, high mobility attack troops (including one of the best 2h units in the game) and the extremely powerful baleric slingers combined with elite lancers, the Canibari have all the offense you need to smash your opponents. The question is who...should you stand shoulder to shoulder with your Roman friends and help them conquer the world...or perhaps....

Seleucid:
http://www.filedropper.com/seleelite

After a slogging war against my so called vassals, Alexander's legacy remains intact. Although still relatively poor and land locked, with a secure flank the time has come to see what godlike infantry, overwhelming cataphracts, and armored elephants can do. Reclaim Egypt and Greece and prove yourself greater than your inspiration!

Enjoy.

[Fluke]

The Cantibari link doesn't seem to be working for me?

[dmperu11]

What about one for Parthia? I think it would be cool to play as them and experience how the civilization goes from tiny area to holding a lot of seleucid territory

I'll rehost it later tonight.

I will try, check back in a few days.

[Garbad]

Parthia:
http://www.filedropper.com/parthiaelite

The horselords have subjugated all rebels in the east, scratching out a surprisingly productive pocket...yet they are now totally closed in by the selucid swarm. Money was tight, so I created two medium/good legions and two trash legions. Each is focused around extremely powerful cavalry and missile attacks with limited infantry staying power. Pray it is enough, because you must conquer vast territory! But if you can, more income can help you church out stunningly elite cataphract armies and sweep all before you!

And the celtiberians again:
