1)you need to spread greek culture to recruit greek hoplites( eg from massilia to lugdunum). Unit from massilia enters lugfunum -> lugdunum is greek. End turn or save and load the game. And Lugdunum becomes greek. You are able to recruit greek units right now 2)rebel armies die when they lose a battle. Be careful

Good faction review, I always wondered how the rebel campain works and how to win with them, the way you explained it was very well done.

Not really difficult. In my opinion, Phraaspa is a trap, taking it gets you into immediate conflict with Parthia and they will come at you with a stack of 2 cataphracts and several horse archers. It's much better to ignore it and go deal with Pontus since it opens the whole Turkey up for taking and Pontus initial army is the easiest to deal with, just kite everything with horse archers and finish off with cataphracts and general

It can happen, usually very late game when you have most of the world conquered. Btw, spqr and rebels are immune to riots. Their settlements cant rebel no matter what

In Medieval 2 I turned up max tax to what felt like 62 settlements and sent EVERYBODY to Rome and Jerusalem.

If a faction is destroyed while there are still generals available in the field, those generals become rebels, too!

I really enjoy playing as the rebels, is really unique and every turn can be a surprise with the spawing armies. It can also be pretty fun and challenging in barbarian invasion or medieval 2.

Pretty interesting to see that Rebels can recruit, spies diplomats and assassins. I modded some files which enables rebel spies and diplomats to spawn throughout the world.

Thanks for this. Tried it out and it's a genuinely fun campaign. Stakes are very high all the time because you lose your whole army if you lose a battle, which really makes every engagement feel high-risk. Deciding which units to keep vs disband and which settlements to write off is an interesting problem as well. Feels almost like the WRE campaign in Barbarian Invasion, but more extreme. On the tactical side battles are more interesting because you're on the back foot more often, and varied unit types means a lot of variety in battle styles.

This was a really good guide, one of the best I have seen in RTW. Interesting topic and clever tactics.

my favorite campaign. so desperate and epic since nearly every turn is an outnumbered last stand

Thanks, hope you enjoy the video!

Very cool! Thanks for the video. There's one thing you didn't mention here (I think you mentioned it in the rebels campaign video). You can't recruit at all in Barbarian settlements regardless of what buildings you have, so most are not worth fighting for (except Massila, which is Greek for some reason). You can recruit Eastern, Greek, Egyptian, and Iberian troops in settlements with those cultures, but nothing beyond second level troops and not all settlements can recruit every first/second level troop (for instance, none of the settlements in Spain let me recruit ships, and only Carthage let me recruit second level Iberian cavalry). I'm not sure how the game determines which troops you can recruit in each settlement (what the building tells you is often not accurate), and sometimes it changes if you lose and then reconquer one. After retaking Massila from the Gauls I couldn't recruit anything, and some Egyptian settlements let me recruit chariots with a blacksmith and others don't. One crucial thing I found was that some Egyptian and Parthian settlements (like Jerusalem and Suza) let you recruit horse archers, which are probably the most useful unit you can recruit, so taking those if you get the chance will make things much easier (once you have horse archer production you can clobber the Seleucids and put up a good fight against Armenia, Parthia, and Egypt). I played a VH/VH rebel campaign after watching your video on how to make them playable, it was super fun! I focused on the Aegean, Middle Eastern, and Southern France/Epirus/Northern Italy (a couple large armies spawned in Italy early on and I was able to take and hold two Gaul settlements and one of the Julii's). I ended up conquering the world by around 245 BC. Now I'm trying the campaign again where I don't allow myself to do anything (autoresolve all battles too) for the first 5 turns. It's super challenging--I managed to hold on to some Aegean settlements and expand a bit there, but have lost pretty much all my northern and African settlements and have had to consolidate my forces and retreat in the Middle East (I'm planning on heading east and trying to take Selucia and the Parthian settlement east of it to get out of the way of the Egyptians--once they approached Bostra with a 20 stack army on turn 7 I knew I couldn't fight them :). One last annoying thing is that the better you do early on, the less other factions fight each other. In my first rebels campaign no one was ever at war for the entire game except the Romans with the Carthaginians. In the second campaign some factions have taken all the surrounding rebel settlements (I only have a couple settlements left west of Athens, and I don't think they'll last long), so hopefully they'll start fighting each other soon :).

Hey Lugotorix, great to see you channel growing. I've been subscribed since the Greek Cities campaign, and really like the fact that you keep putting up RTW vids, even in 2019! I just had a question, what are your PC specs? I've tried to play the Steam version of RTW on my laptop, which has decent specs, and Windows 10. When I play it, my campaign map has a frame rate of 10! Dunno if you can help, but thought I'd ask anyway.

@lugotorix6173

4 жыл бұрын

Hey man, thanks for the kind words and the support. I have a laptop that doesn't even have that good specs tbh (i3 core). The problem with RTW is that it was designed to run off old pcs with a single core, so sometimes having good specs is a bad thing for playing this game. There are several things you can do though. One thing is download a file called d3d8.dll (search it on google). This removes certain assets like the trade ships which really slow the campaign map down (only problem is that sometimes it causes graphics problems, if so just remove the file). That file works for me and sped the game up greatly. Another thing you can do is play with the graphics settings (for example turning of shadows really helped me). Best of luck, and if you need more help let me know

There was one thing you forgot to mention about the rebels, which is those rare times where there’s a “gladiator revolt” and you end up with a settlement full of Velites Gladiators and the “Yubtseb” elephants (Bestbuy backwards!). How effective are the elephants and the gladiator units?

This will open the folder Rome is installed in. In the Rome directory, click on data, world, Imperial campaign, you'll see a text file called descr_strat. Open it and you'll see the list of factions, rebels will be under unplayable. Cut the word rebels from unplayable and paste it in the playable section. Launch the game and rebels should be there.
