![]() ![]() i thought i was occupying other civs but those must have been isolated citys then, as u said. There are mods that have been released that increase the army limits, so if you feel that the game is too punitive in that regard, head on over to TWcenter and browse the Rome 2 Mod Threads until you find one you like. A general is indeed required for every army you have, yes. When you reach the next Imperium level, your faction's cap will increase, allowing you to create more armies, fleets and agents. You do this mainly by conquering, and conquering entire provinces rather than isolated settlements seems to add more (Or at least that's what I've observed). To increase your faction's limits on armies, fleets and agents, you need to increase your Imperium level. Ranging from the Spanish coast to the far-flung, exotic kingdoms of the east, the campaign map for Total War: ROME II is breath-taking in scope, and a study in detail and variety. And also, do you need a general for every army, if not how do u raise them? Originally posted by Fear2288:From a historical perspective the Spartan faction's roster in Rome 2 makes perfect sense.When i play i capture city after city but i can only enlist max 4 armies and 4 fleets. Thus, that is why the Spartans in Rome 2 have the best hoplites but weaker skirmisher and cavalry units. So while citizens were first-and-foremost hoplites the Spartans relegated the new and different roles to the less deserving - i.e. And while most made the transition to the new breed of warfare Sparta, as was their conservative nature, continued to rely on the hoplite and kept that idolized and heroic status alive for their Spartiates (Spartan citizens). This style worked for the Greeks for a couple hundred years until Phillip II/Alexander and the Macedonians came along and wiped the floor with the known world with a new style of warfare that introduced pikes and re-emphasized a varied military force composed of heavy infantry, skirmishers, light infantry, and cavalry.įrom that point forward the hoplite started to lose its dominant favor in Greek militaries as more and more city-states started to experiment with and use skimishers, horsemen, and light infantry. The hoplite and specifically the phalanx also became a respresentation of the evolving polis socio-political culture but that's another matter. Just like any athletic sport (which the Greeks LOVED), victory or defeat was decided by the strength, skill, intelligence, willpower, and bravery of the men - not by military tech or who had the better arms and armor. There was nothing more heroic and "manly" then being a hoplite and since most city-states' forces were hoplite-centric it brought an air of competitive "equality" to the battlefield. In a nutshell, Greeks from the 8th up through the 5th century BC idolized and relied upon the hoplite - though they certainly knew about and occastionally used skirmishers and cavalry. I drea that i got to fight macedon, they have so many armiesįrom a historical perspective the Spartan faction's roster in Rome 2 makes perfect sense. As for losing, i havent fought many hellenic factions, i managed to get every hellenic faction to join me and fight carthage and her allies, making a world war. Total War: Rome II is a strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega.It was released on 3 September 2013, for Microsoft Windows as the eighth standalone game in the Total War series of video games and the successor to the 2004 game Rome: Total War. Im playing a legendary campaign with them and they have the worst start by far. There had to be more tto sprtan warfare than hoplites wasnt there? haha yeah sparta doesnt have much unit variety. my cavalry flanking manuvers get destroyed by the superior shock cavalry. my hoplite wall will hold but my skirmishers get wiped out by the much better peltats. Pitted against a well balanced athens army i only manage to get phyric victories. hoplites are a great defensive unit but they arnt much for attacking. ![]() But I also played and enjoyed a whole lot Macedonia, Parthia and Media. You start with 2 whole provinces, surrounded by pansy factions who rely on horse archers (which your slingers vaporise in seconds). But then again, I am also subjective because I like that period of time in the Roman Republic a whole lot. sparta has the best hoplites in the game.and thats it. For me, the most interesting faction is Rome because of the way they did the auxiliary units and the way to recruit them after the Marian reforms. i always get about 50 turns into it and realise that the units i have will pretty much be the only units i get to use.
