Update: This video does not endorse any political candidate or party. It is just a shitpost, meme video demonstrating the glaring flaws in the secession & civil war mechanic in Total War: Rome 2. The message here is that it is incredibly easy to exploit the ancestral update by swapping armies between generals which allows you to squash political rivals within your republic. Please do not interpret this video as any form of propaganda or political endorsement. In light of current events in the United States, I felt it necessary to clarify this. Political and civil tensions are extremely high. The intended humor in my video, in combination with the authoritarian strategy I implement, bears no resemblance to my political views.

Hey, your video was well done and accurate as to how the game works. No need to make clarifications or disclaimers. By going out of your way to say "The intended humor in my video, in combination with the authoritarian strategy I implement, bears no resemblance to my political views" makes it obvious that your political views are liberal, and that's perfectly fine with pretty much everybody. Conservatives don't much care if you're liberal and don't hate you for being that way. It's when you're openly conservative that you have to look over your shoulder and worry about being hated, cancelled, and deplatformed. So you're fine bro.

Honestly, they need to fix that shit. It's like some rule of "always 3 other parties" for roman faction. And as soon as you win against secessionists party the new party is formed that is also negatively relates towards you. And as soon as protection expires you need to do the same shit again, it's annoying as fuck

Game was practically unplayable at launch. There were a ton of map bugs and graphical errors. The game overall was just bad. Secession wars at that time were where your capital would secede and spawn 10 stacks of quality units, stuff that you normally couldn't even afford. The navy's were really just an army that was a full stack of levies that could build their transport ships and still have full movement range all in one turn. And this navy was the strongest in the game since transports had stupidly high health and would defeat anything early game with ramming, and even if you lost a ship you only lost one levy unit.

I love that civil war mechanic it’s makes the game more fun. Back when I was a noob and a civil war happened in Sparta. One of the houses broke off and the leader of that house attacked my heir to the kingdom. My son fought valiantly destroying the enemies forces. But unfortunately the enemy general had much more experience. So when I go to play as DADA I only took 300 of my best Spartans and finished the battle off 500 vs 300. And avenged my son. And ended the civil war in a a single stork. Much drama such wow
