#Rome total war 2 unit guide update#

Start trading and creating pacts with at least one faction on the mainland. Congratulations, you can easily take the rest of the isles without fear of a two-fronted assault. Take Northern settlement with both of your armies up there. T4: Move army #3 into range to support the southern siege (on the Northern side if possible). T2.5: When you are attacked by each base, just retreat. T2: Move home village army to Iska, queing up a few more units. Build a new army at home with levy spears and slingers. Send your top army to Moridunon and your province army to Iska. Build a fishing village and the bronze forge. This strategy is not my own and is executed perfectly in this video by TheGoldfishNation. For household slots on family generals, prioritize research rate, as there arenвЂ™t many ways to improve it otherwise.Д¬heese factions Dumnonii and Demetae to avoid a 2-front war later. Due to agent nerfs, I use diplomats for reduced army maintenance and scouts for scouting where enemy armies are and meeting new nations. Keep them on your highest tech army and rotate upon reaching near max exp. Tribal oppidium is the best capital except for Industry oppidium in gold mining provinces.ДЄgent/Household Tips: Recruit a champion ASAP and focus on the Drill sergeant (far left) tree for sweet exp. Avoid yellow buildings unless youвЂ™re into slavery. Mix in an upgraded workshop and stable here and there to round out recruitment options. Always prioritize the capital-type buildings in both tech and construction. The infantry % improvements are nice but unnecessary if youвЂ™re constantly on order-duty.Д«uilding Tips: For Iceni I prefer in every province to have Grove of Rosmerta (purple), Wells (blue), Bronze Forges (red), and all things agriculture (green) through level three except for unit tech. I finished construction first then druidic council for the order and $$$ bonuses. Tech Tips: Focus construction, then war exercises, a little bit of siege, then druidic council, filling in gaps as needed. Chosen Spears for the flanks.Д¬avalry: Each level is significantly better at combat and worse at catching routing units. Mix in 2-4 a heroic nobles to your center line once you have the tech and excessive funds. Infantry: Chosen Sword Bands are your bread and butter.

Giant Ballistae and Heavy Onagers are great but are not required to rush. Start with 6 units in a max stack and reduce to 5 once you start mixing in artillery.

The most important part of the guide is the Game Start section created by TheGoldfishNation.

I will update this after completing the campaign on higher difficulties, so please post your own advice as this guide is incomplete. These tips are largely Iceni specific, but some can be applied to other factions as well. To be honest, this as my first campaign on Hard. After nerfs to chariots and improvements to AI play (i.e., more aggression toward human players, especially early on) this statement is really only true after youвЂ™ve fully taken the first two provinces in the isles and have established a foothold on the mainland. At release folks often called Iceni one of easiest if not the easiest factions in the game.
