Boii! - Faction Overview - Divide Et Impera (1.3.3) - Total War Rome 2

[@TWSummary]

It's actually a pretty hard start as the Boii. You have to assault two or even three major settlements (Sweboz, Leugoz, and Norii, who most often renege on their treaties declare war on you). I find a good strategy is to rush the Sweboz by turn 2 or 3 while appeasing the Leugoz. Complete the conquest of Suebia and then Magna Germania, then complete Hercynia. After this counter-clockwise expansion, you have a very solid position. Also, those "Early Boii Medium Swordsmen" are very, very good. They don't have Armour Penetration, but are the only early game pop2 unit with 30 Base + 2 AP + 2 Infantry Bonus (Total 34 damage) which is amazing against lightly armored Germanic units that you will face off against in the early game. By the mid-game they become the "Late Boii Heavy Swordsmen" which is yet another amazing unit, as you correctly pointed out. Not to mention they both have really high Melee Attack at 15 which can easily reach 25 to 30 with the right Army Traditions and General Skills.

I think the Kimbroz have access to a pop2 heavy sword unit of the same weapon damage, without any reforms.

[@TWSummary]

@@cerdic6586 that has been changed to pop1 now.

Nice to see a stronger celtic faction start position, as for example Scordisci can be quite feeble a bit south - southeast

[@Immersaholic]

I agree! It’s nice to see them not be so desperate. Not super safe but definitely more potential with them

[@King.Leonidas]

Scordisci is a pain but it arguably has the second best hoplites next to Carthage

[@Zombie_King93]

Please please please! Do another play through. I binged watched your Carthage series and loved it. I would love to see you get back on that train and make another one. Maybe one off the beaten bath, a barbarian faction or someone like Kush would be awesome! Love the videos!!

[@tovarishleninade9436]

just wanted to say that I hope you are feeling better friend. I miss your factions reviews so much, much love ❤

[@Immersaholic]

Thank you very much, I miss doing them and plan to resume them SoonTM :)

[@houlinfan4140]

Empire maintenance is never a problem late game, just pop some general governors down early game and just let them gain xp through the whole game, once you hit about 80-90 percent EM use all the skill points you have saved up on the lower EM skills, one level four general can get EN down to 6 percent. Always wait until the EM is pretty high before you start lowering it because it’s a percentage based, so if you start lower it at around 50 percent EM the skill that lowers 2 percent EM will only lower one percent in reality. The empire governing type is the best for late game, the increase party loyalty and 2 more edicts are worth it. Plus it’s always nice to create a empire when you have painted half the map

[@joeromano7902]

Oh snap, the boiis are back

[@Immersaholic]

guess who's back... baack again

[@MsMirekPL]

Broo I haven’t seen your video in a while and suddenly it popped up. I do really miss your conent😢

[@KOSJ153]

Cavalry = Horse Troops Calvary = The place Jesus was crucified Just about pronunciation

[@AWearyExile]

I usually take out the little german faction that owns the last part of your province to get a united province + leather resource. They also usually end up at war with the Cherusci, who then become your only german friends. Biggest issue is dealing with suprise war declaration from Leugoz, who go straight for your gold province the first chance they get.

[@BeefLoverMan]

Oh yeah, the Boiis are back

[@Immersaholic]

Yeahhh boiiiii

[@CalebAdams]

Bro we miss you and the videos!

[@dietricklamade7417]

I miss you

[@ldm3669]

Hope you will still post, i love your content

[@Immersaholic]

Thank you, I plan to soon! :)

[@ojko12345]

Nice video. Still waiting for third part of cesar in mithridatic wars campaign 😅. Already watched it twice.

[@Immersaholic]

It's 100% coming I swear :D I've been recording a few more episodes before I upload the most recent one. Sorry for the delay, pls dont hate me

[@thegermaniccoenus2525]

Yeeee boiiiiii

[@tillercaesar-kq4ou]

Can you do like some general DEI content. Like that mercenary or AoR units.

[@Immersaholic]

That’s the plan, there is just SO many units that it’s hard to narrow down. I have already done a AoR guide though 👍

[@ostrodox9705]

Can we do a pontus overview? Its been ages since the last one

[@tillercaesar-kq4ou]

Bro where you at

[@thelightwithin7121]

Thank you for another overview mate, keep them coming. Also will there be any new DEI updates coming?

[@Immersaholic]

Thank you! Do you mean will they be updating the mod? If so then yes 👍 more are on the way

[@lukagigani1]

BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@Immersaholic]

Yeahhh boiiiiii

[@DominaRatio]

I wish they changed all the faces to the Attila TW's ones. They're much better imo.

[@trowachess]

Ya Boii !

[@tankbear2402]

The Boii are back in town XD

[@Immersaholic]

yeeaaahhhh boiiiiii

[@bigthoughts2644]

I think immersaholic is dead... 😢

[@mrstlb8780]

It’s ya boii Immersaholic 😆

[@hisholieness7037]

I'm leaving this here to see if I can't get a response but is the unique populations techs for massilia not a thing anymore because I played the Antigonids, and they literally have the same population techs.

[@TWSummary]

First. Bo-e-e is correct Latin.

[@Immersaholic]

What I was actually correct? 🫢

[@Konrad_IV]

Spot on mate 😅

[@Konrad_IV]

Visited Boiodurum (Boiotro) today, a roman castellum in Passau which is probably named after boii auxiliary troops or the former inhabitants. Boii have a nice starting position along the danube, you can go in any direction and inhabit the heart of Europe.

[@NIKE082085]

Two hitter quitter 😂😂 👍 👌

[@Immersaholic]

I should’ve tried it with the Seleucids lol 😆

[@Konrad_IV]

Next up Mauyrians please 🐘

[@andrewfish3141]

IT is indeed Hard with the Boys...but yday played as Colchis and OMG the Caucasian factions are kinda left behind form DEI team and is rly hard to play with them :P

[@kmanniac]

Boii

[@batyrmuzafarov8917]

Good afternoon. For some reason, I do not have all the factions in the company open that you have. Does anyone know the reason?

[@codyfikes8999]

Come back!

[@Immersaholic]

Am working on it :)

[@nicecomment7956]

Why I can't play other faction? Can anyone help me

[@sanguineaurora8765]

Turn 90 is late game? BRUH that's barely the beginning of the mid game in DEI.

[@tillercaesar-kq4ou]

Gotta learn Latin and Greek to pronounce these Rome 2 names correctly lol
