Top 5 Possible Factions - Barbarian Invasion + Alexander Total War

Ойындар

Welcome to Top 5 Missing Factions for Rome Total War's Barbarian Invasion and Alexander Expansions.
In this video, we will look into Factions that could have been and would have worked well with the game.
These are factions that I would want to have seen, for either historical, or gameplay reasons.
Overall though, I am Not saying these expansions are Bad Games. because it lacks these. Nor am I saying these Factions will improve the game. But they could have been interesting.

    For the Romano-British event: it could be interesting for a Romano-Gaul faction to appear in Gaul when Gaul falls to the barbarians. They could represent Syagrius, a Roman General who reigned for some years after the fall of Rome itself.

    It's a shame there are no Romano-Gauls or Romano-Illyrians popping out when Rome loses those regions as the last Western Roman stronghold to fall in the west was located in Gaul. I personally had a blast playing as them on The Last Emperor. And for Barbarian invasion i would have added Armenia or some Caucasian realm

    Barbarian Invasion map should be larger Factions missing in Barbarian Invasion. White Huns Kidarites (Red Huns): Pretty much what if you get to play as Huns who have settled down. Gupta Empire: Would have required having the map expanded far to the east to include Transoxiana, Altani Mountians, Tarmi Basin, and the Indian Sub Continent. This can serve as another interesting challenge for the Sasanians. Askum: Would have required the map to be expanded in the south to include the rest of the Arabian Penisular, Ethopian Mountians and the Horn of Africa. A sub Saharan African faction located to the south of Egypt. Another gameplay challange for Eastern Roman Empire

Also events where independent regions break off like romano British with Armenia, Bactria, Sogdiana, and Cappadocia being able to break off from Persia to survive Persia’s conquest as Armenia and Cappadocia survived the end of the Persian empire.

    In RTW Alexander the Indian region is shown as such because at the time of the campaign that region was, in fact, a Persian satrap, although in the Indian subcontinent (modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan). Alexander's campaigns against "India" were not primarily against the faction represented as the Indian faction serves as a placeholder for what in fact be more influenced by Perisa (for example Arachosia in RTW 2)

    That sounds like an excuse for rushing a game out without properly finishing the campaign. It's clear that there was no historical reason as why else would Persia own Arabia? The whole campaign of Alexander is a mess both in it's badly drawn map and the fact important factions like India are no where to be seen but were suppose to be as why else would they make the most eastern province that makes sense for them to be in be untouchable?

    I dont agree. You simply want to add factions that are already present in other TW games. There must be place for Frisians, since that germanic tribe from modern Netherlands built separate kingdom in early middle ages and resisted frankish expansion for some time. So, if there are burgundians, alemans etc, then there must be frisians too. But they never got attention from CA-neither in BI, nor in Attila, even though they were one of the 4 main germanic tribes that settled in CA homeland-Britain :D Also, Alans and Sarmatians are the same people.

    The campaign was an annoying rush that had zero replayability that was clearly cut due to certain factions not being in there and the crappy 100 turn limit meant you could not take any time pacifying your regions that did not involve exterminating them all and the map looking like crap. The only things worthwhile about that expansion was the historical battles and the narration of Brian Blessed.
