Help needed: General's Special Abilities

**Welsh Dragon** · April 13, 2019, 12:24 PM

Hi everyone.

I'm currently working on an up to date list of the General's Special Abilities in Rome 2 for the TWC Wiki, and I'm hoping the community can help fill in some gaps please.

Ideally what I'm looking for is details of the tooltips for each Special Ability, either as text or a screenshot (so I can transcribe it,) and/or descriptions of what they do. And also if there are any abilities I've missed off this list? Thank you.

Also if any modders happen to know the exact figures with these abilities and would be willing to help with those please, I could also include them on the page for those looking for concrete numbers. Thank you.

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

Good idea! Your thread prompted me to give one of my Saba generals the 'Judge' trait which gives him the Second Wind (Group) ability, the tooltip is:

Your general removes the fatigue of any friendly units within his area of influence.

Thanks Alwyn. That presumeable gets a Green Fatigue as well, like the single target version?

That's right, the word 'Fatigue' appears in green.

Currently on the phone, but I have some screenshots of ability descriptions on my pc. (Most of them are already covered here)

I am currently building up a Cimmerian cunning general that will have Brace, Push and the Taunt abilities.

I will update this when I am at my pc.

Thanks MaxMaker13.

Those are all really useful (both the new ones and confirming the existing ones.) Adding them to my master list now, and will hopefully add the wiki page itself in the near future. Your help is very much appreciated!

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.
