Another Rome 2: Total War Evolutionary idea

**karlyp123** · July 22, 2011, 05:22 PM

Just another thought on the campaign; after conquering a certain faction, the faction you control gain's/changes that kind of troop, troop quality or faction ability either temporarily or permanently. Say if the Romans conquered the Etruscans they gain the use of Hastati, Principes & Triarii, etc. but the Triarii fight in the fashion of a Hoplite unit until the Romans either conquer the Samnites or the Italian Gaul's from which they learn the importance of flexibility before and during their army's deployment, to change the Hoplon/Clipeus shield to an early form of Scutum shield, to change the length of the spear from a 10ft. Greek style Dory to a 6.5ft. Hasta and to change the style in which the Triarii fought in battle by changing from a Greek/Macedonian phalanx formation to a standard formation due to the terrain of the Italian Peninsular which is rough and hilly. I may not have the exact fact's here but do you see where I'm going with this?

Lol, you could have posted this in your other thread.

It is a very good idea which I hope they will add it to RTW 2.

No, what I meant was that you get regional unit's as well but once you conquer a FACTION then you gain either some that faction's troops, troop quality, troop abilities or campaign abilities. Do you see what I mean?

neat ideea

In history, people learned from their enemies .. so the more enemies you have, the more you learn! LOL!

.. hasn't worked for me!?

Once the Roman phalanx face the Gauls, Romans learn the benefit of allowing more plebs to fight & keeping your elite citizens as reserve!, once an enlarged Roman phalanx army faces a samnite army, Romans then learn the benefits of flexible maniples & javelins
