Then it means you should make treaties only with factions that like one another
I figured out a way of avoiding that enemy cavalry units outflank your main infantry line in open field battles against the AI. I don't claim it's the only tactic that works ( other players might...
The mistake of not unticking the box "Call your allies for help" was something I learned the hard way.
Another additional measures you can take in order to try to keep alliances and client states is...
I'm thinking about giving Sparta a try in the "Wrath of Sparta" dlc. Did you ever try it? What do you suggest me to do in the early stage of the campaign? Should I make non-agression pacts with some...
I think I got to figure out why alliances or client state treaties tend to break in the long term in a campaign:
- One reason could be that the different factions with whom you have alliances or...
That doesn't make much sense. It is unlikely ( But not impossible ) that they get drunk before a military duty or drill or test because they know they would risk their reputation or expose themselves...
In case some of you people never heard of it:
A time slip is an anomaly of time: It is like an unexpected/unplanned and involuntary time travel.
Even though I can't prove that time slips are real...
Did you ever get to win in a city defense battle by using only the DEI garrison units? I'm currently in a DEI grand campaign as Rome and I indeed won several city defense battles only with the...
I already tested it in a DEI campaign recently:
An army doesn't suffer attrition both in the desert and in the snow in case that army has a baggage train attached and if it's in the fortified stance...
One way of greatly reducing the odds that an admiral from a rival party dies in battle is this:
If you fight a battle far from a city of you and you still have room for retreating during battle, you...
I think I found out something in the Divide et Impera mod:
All political rival parties suddenly rebel (even if their loyalty was ok ) even if just one party rebels. I don't know if the mod makers...
I'm currently playing as the Gens Julia. Why not the others?
Gens Junia: The problem is the diplomatic penalty it has with all factions which would make harder to get non-agression and trade...
At least these are the features of each of the 3 Grand Campaign Roman Gens in the latest DEI version ( 1.3.2 ):
All the three have these things in common:
- +1 food in all provinces
- +1...
Do you prefer having melee cavalry units over missile cavalry units or the other way round? I'm finding out missile cavalry units ( as long as they aren't too weak ) are better to have specially in...
Another addtional tip would be saving your slingers/archers ammunition to use them against the strongest enemy infantry melee units. And having a few cheap units for absorbing part of the enemy's...
Yes. Sometimes the AI is smart ( and even smarter if you play DEI mod ): when an enemy army is besieging your city doesn't start the attack immediately yet is because it's waiting for reinforcements...
Several possibilities there:
- Maybe you started that campaign when you didn't have all the official game updates or dlcs yet
- Or you could have corrupted the file when you opened with a text...
A question for members who have enough experience playing the DEI mod:
In Divide Et Impera, does an army suffer attrition in the desert or in the snowy winter even if the army is in the fortified...
According to my experience in playing Rome 2 vanilla, I found out these are the cases when you should sally out ( either you have just a single general unit plus the garrison or a small army inside...
I think that applies in case you play vanilla. But what about DEI? In DEI you have one ciy in Italy. Maybe you can try rushing Rome
In your case, would you try to rush Rome?
And what about playing as Carthage? Is there any need for rushing any neighbor faction?
In order not to create another thread that has to do with Bruce Lee, I'm going to share a video here about a guy who is one of the last few surviving people who got to meet Bruce Lee. He tells about...
One mistake I see some gamers make is when they need a city to complete a province: a defensive ally or military ally or a friendly faction ( with whom the gamer has treaties ) has the city he needs...
Do you agree that you might not need a full stack army in your first few battles? Would you recruit for the most part cheap units plus some mercenaries? I refer to both vanilla and Divide et Impera.
If you want to play by Lan by using just two computers, you just need a LAN cable to connect two computers ( No need for a hub or switch device ). But you need to make some configurations in both...
I see. However you might reach a moment in the campaign where you should slow down your expansion ( at least temporarily ) specially when there is no hostile neighbour faction anymore and start...
However if there is an enemy spy or champion specialized in discovering hidden armies near the place where you want to catch an enemy army in an ambush, your ambush could fail. In this case I suggest...
There are certain grand campaign factions that I believe they should be played offensively right from the start such as the Romans, the Lusitani, the Arevaci, Colchis, Ardieii, Odrysian Kingdom,...
How do you usually draw your enemies to an ambush? In my case there are examples:
- If I see an enemy army not very far from a city of mine and within a one turn reach, I put an army in ambush...
If you are a barbarian faction you would have to look for another way of fighting the battle because you won't be able to ram enemy transport ships. In your case how would fight the battle more...
It is kind of easy to win a naval battle against enemy transport ships even if you are greatly outnumbered ( even 4 to 1 ). This strategy can be useful in a campaign where you want to defend a...
If you mean punishing a whole platoon or company by making them perform exercises such as push-ups or other type of exercises until getting them tired, that's normal in practically all armies in the...
Specially if you are a Greek faction and you fight from a camp it would be a problem because the infanrty greek units don't have the testudo mode like the legionaries. Then in this case when you are...
Note:
If you want to skip the tactic of creating 2 extra generals for blocking VEII from recruting more units, that's ok. I don't claim it is the only tactic that works. But you should still create...
What if the enemy is a nomad faction that brings many horse archers and you are Rome or a Greek faction?
Or if the game installer you have is multilingual you should uninstall the game and then reinstall it in the language you want. But don't forget rejecting deleting your preferences and saved games...
Do you refer to my first message? if so, maybe it doesn't happen nowadays. Maybe it happened in some armies in world war 2 time: everyone's weekend pass canceled because of a few men's infractions or...
A little advice for people who are thinking about joining the army ( I think the advice should be relevant for any country's army ):
I was never a military but my father was. And that's why I'm...
If you play DIVIDE ET IMPERA another alternative is when all the enemy melee infanty units are all piled up at the front entrance is to set your range units at "concentrated fire" mode. You set a...
Also specially if it's early in the campaign ( You know economy is tougher to manage in the early stage of the campaign ) you could use some of your generals and admirals for raiding a trade route in...
