@@RobertusMaximus I think its for "balance" and to solidify that the rebels are meant to be a second rate faction comprising only that: poor rebels, unkempt deserters, and thieving mercenary bands. At the beginning their units are comparable to any other faction's and this is because they still have settlements and represent actual peoples/city states. But as time goes on the rebel faction actually is just representing normal rebels and thieves and thus it makes sense for them to still have weaker troops, as they can't afford to have higher end equipment. Though it would be nice to have a rebel faction with some actual power to them. Up the spawn rates, up the troop counts in spawns, every rebel city starts with at least double the garrison as before, and hell maybe even somehow make their economy not a total mess. Though that last part doesn't matter too much so long as they increase spawn rates.

Samartians: The Huns and Vandals goes: "Move bitch, get out the way" Goth: All the Huns see Goth is free real estate (Huns really like to settle on Goth territory for some reason) Alemmani: Our archers are better unarmored Berbers: Somehow, people at the other side of the map chose to join us (There's a settlement at the east where a loyalty revolt may happen and changes into a Berber settlement) Western Roman Empire: You either die after the first turn, or live long enough to die from barbarian hordes. Eastern Roman Empire: I wonder how many times we must fight in the same two bridges in one turn. Romano british: Rome set foot in britain again? Guess I'll die.

I conquered most of the known world as Germania. Just Egypt was able to resist because of how far away they were and how powerful they had already become.

Dacia is my favorite

With whatever faction you start, build ships and grab as many island territories as possible right in beginning of the game. These island territories will not be attacked often and generate great income!

Hope to see more like this one

I would love more of these

I love playing as pontus lol, and great vid had a good laugh

I love Parthia, and so when I decided to mix it up as them and do a Migrant campaign, I booted Thrace out and settled in Northern Macedonia. Cause gotta face them pikes as ponies I guess. PS: that actually was my favorite campaign I've played in any total war game, in huge part to, despite having been allies since I settled up in Thrace, Greece betrayed me the second we bordered. And what followed what an absolutely massive war that had me get more attached to a general than I ever have in a total war game, and was genuinely sad when he died of old age the turn before the siege of Sparta

thanks for reminding me my childhood.

I’ll be entirely honest, playing as Thrace has been a blast so far. In the beginning I use my diplomats to offer up trade rights, alliances, and map information all for 3,000 denarri each deal with each and every faction. I knew of how powerful the Romans were, so I sent a daring military expedition to Illyria and Epirus, and was able to decimate the infant Brutii colonies and got filthy rich, because of my actions; the Roman expansion was permanently stalled to where they only wanted to expand as far as Thermon. Fast forward to 173 B.C.E., I had conquered the Britannia’s Isles (including Ireland), I am the ruler of all of the Black Sea, conquered all of Anatolia (Turkey), conducting beach assaults upon Macedon-Greece, and take away Cyprus, Tarsus, and Antioch from Ptolemy-Egypt.

Playing a game as Parthia after Egypt steamrolled the Selucids consisted of waiting for them to lay siege - setting their ram on fire, battering down my own walls from the inside with catapults to destroy their ladders - then waiting for the timer to run out. Worked like a charm.

@Ibrahim Awad I haven't played any more recent Total War games than Medieval 2 (played Med 1, Rome 1, Med 2 and a demo for Empire I think) and Rome 1 is my favourite of those, followed by Med 2. I did admittedly give up after Med 2, the ones following Shogun 2 (which I think looked good, but didn't really capture me enough to buy it) started to lose what made the series great. Diplomacy is one of the problems in the series, it's not very in depth and whether due to a bug or design it is basically meaningless as it almost seems hard coded for everyone to hate you and you will go to war with basically everyone over the course of a campaign whether you choose to or not ("allies" will often back stab you eventually) The Total War AI is bad enough across the series that it is basically a meme at this point. Rome 1 is no different, the battlefield AI is basically brain dead, it can throw away generals, poor use of phalanxes, and it's even worse in city sieges, especially attacking cities. Also Med 2 has great music, but Rome 1 has the best music in my ears, although not historical at all. Rome 1's combat is often very fast paced, especially when cavalry is involved. Imagine the cavalry from Med 2, except with a slightly less powerful charge, but you can charge 2 metres and get the bonus for it. Phalanxes are also hilarious when defending a city or bridge, even militia hoplites (the worse phalanx in the game) can hold it's own at a choke point against decent enemy infantry and cavalry. Under prolonged fighting they will eventually flee, but that's when you have another phalanx of Spartan hoplites (arguably best unit in the game) behind them. HoI definitely wins in terms of diplomacy (although I've heard other Paradox games are better than HoI in that area), AI and overall war strategy. However I feel like Rome 1 still has it's place with the very fun (if often one sided) battles.

@@Saintphoenix86 Did I offend you somehow ? It would be great if I had the honor to read your next answer. You know sir, the tradition of my country forces me to improve the ability of being kind and gentle.

lol always thought Dacia is just a generic barbarian faction without anything special comparing to similar (barbarian) ones. well, i guess ballistae is one hell of unique (and NOTICABLE) thing for barbarian faction to have. Is Pontus that bad though? I think pikemen automatically push their faction up to viable tier at least.

Zero Suit Samus I would probably make a Total War: Attila version over a Barbarian Invasion one. Even in the Attila version, I would blatantly reference Barbarian Invasion.

Briefly and to the point.

well thank you for this

The Armenian one had no right being that right 😰

Truly painful to play a faction with crazy units that you never get to use Cough Isengard.. cough cough.

The numidian part KILLED me jesus! HAHAHAHA this video is just Perfect!

Look up a tutorial on how to unlock all the Rome TW Factions. It’s very easy. It just requires you to go into your local game files and switch some text around. Careful with playing the Rebels and SPQR. They can easily make your game crash

The Carthage one is so true omg I keep trying to keep them as one of my allies but they keep declaring war against me a few turns later even when I have total control of Europe lol

You sound just like sir swag

Julii steamroll! The scipio one had me rolling. One elephant unit and that's it. Why I like the Brutii campaign the best
