The Scipii have the Corvus Quinquireme, the juggernaut of the sea. Indeed, their enemy, Carthage, can only be reached by sea. The Scipii are reliant on their navies their territory is split in two by the Brutii province of Croton. Short campaign goals: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy Carthage and Numidia The patrician Scipii family is devoted to one cause: grinding those Carthaginian scum into submission, and if that is not possible, into the desert sands. This would mean the pointless upkeep of armies that need to be out in the field. Another problem is that, to pacify captured regions, the player will have to garrison their armies in the city, where they can be retrained, but they would not see much action. Extreme caution is required (use spies and assassins). One problem with this is that the dark forests beyond Roman lands can provide perfect platforms for ambushes and the like. If the player so chooses, they can blitzkrieg through the barbarian lands. Not to mention, they won t have very big populations, either, making unit recruitment HARD. Developing these cities will take some time. The barbarian cities are relatively poor and weak. Another perk is that your starting army contains a unit of Roman archers and Triarii! How handy! Disadvantages: Besides, once you gain the upper hand, barbarians flee like the uncivilized savages they are. The barbarians themselves cannot make siege equipment (although there may be a mod (is there?), which, when enabled, will allow barbarians to recruit ballistae and onagers from captured artillery ranges). True, the barbarians field powerful early-game and late-game units such as Berserkers, Foresters and British Chariots, but with the right strategy, combined with the hardy Roman troops, a beginner can deal with these problems. Most of the barbarian armies are not as good compared to the civilized, disciplined legions of Rome. Short campaign goals: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy the Gauls Long campaign goals: Hold 50 provinces including Rome The noble Julii have been tasked with exterminating the unwashed barbarians of Gaul, Britannia, Spain and Germania. This is all outlined in greater detail below. This is indeed a very tough choice, as the three Roman campaigns and families have their disadvantages and advantages. Rome is a good faction, Egypt, Seleucid, Suebi, Arverni, Parthia.If you compare those to say ardiaei, colchis, Odryssia.The three Roman factions that are playable at the beginning of the game (before you have unlocked any other factions) are the Julii, the Scipii and the Brutii.Ī common question that plagues the new player is: Which faction do I want to play? Though i totaly understand people who like to play as underdog and enjoy it i actually enjoy playing, but you can't say Ardieai is a good faction which is not always related to fun. Think we missed one? Give us a Modmail and suggest new Subreddits to add to the lists!Īrdiaei is the Worst factions by far, you have no good cavalry, no decent missile units, people are saying they have good mid tier spears and good elite hoplites that's not a good army at all, the lack of heavy shock cavalry hurt them a lot because they have a good anvil but 0 hammer, there are some unit that can save you desperate battles like cataphract, chariots, oathsworn warriors and the like, there have none their economy is shit and tif that's not enough mercenaries which could be a good way to compensate your weaknesses are too expensive upkeep wise and it is your culture traits which should be an advantage lol.
