Be prepared to reload a lot, abandon Britain if you must, but otherwise fight desparately and hold onto everything because they other factions will never have enough.

@@Meade556 on legendary you don't get to reload mistakes are permanent. You were right about most things but actually affording to fortify every front is unrealistic. On high difficulties it's best to retreat from Britain and the Balkans then fortify Venetia Africa and northeastern France. In my experience puppet states are highly unreliable and at some point if you actually count on them they gonna betray you so they are best used sparingly. 1 army in hispania 2 in Africa and the rest split between Venetia and northeastern France is ideal. By turn 30 you should be adequately fortified and public order should be solidified in your important areas allowing you to reexpand rapidly from that point is super easy even on legendary

@Michael Maeva @​ Kevin Wilson , I would sure hope that you would be able to beat an AI of a certain faction with any other faction, otherwise the game wouldn't be fun if it was impossible. I wiped out Himyar and the Garamantians as the Sassanids, but you don't see me bragging about it. I defeated Alexander the Great as Darius III in the Alexander the Great mod for Rome II. The Total War games (and any RTS or turn based strategy for that matter) is meant for history to be changed from your playstyle (or random events). If you couldn't beat a faction, then what's the point of playing?

I see that many people chose to abandon the border regions and turtle up. Maybe it is good advice, but for me it worked a LOT better to just go on the offensive. Solve region after region, using the money you gain by dismantling churches and level 2 and 3 settlements. Subjugate/raze the Celts in Britain, then the desert assholes in Africa. Britannia and Africa are your most important strategic positions. As long as you can hold them, the rest of the empire is completely safe. No annoying Celts and Vikings in Spain. If you see a horde passing through your territory, GIFT them a region. In 2-3 turns, they usually accept trade and military alliance AND will take care of your rebellions in regions close to them. Pretty sweet deal. When your economy gets back on its feet and borders are secure, you can destroy them at your pleasure. It´s even easier, since their entire faction is concentrated into that one region. Fish in a barrel. Build farms and non-religious public order stuff, industry is mostly not worth it. You can maintain religion with the "Ecumenical Matters" Edict. It´s AMAZING for province conversion.

Lord Of Cheese I would argue that ERE is even harder, despite the fact that the WRE will most likely have a lot more factions attacking it, because they only start with 28-30 regions or something as opposed to the WRE's 68. Granted, those are likely impoverished ones, but at least you can cede a few regions until you get a large enough army to make the barbarians pay for it. Or, if going Graeco-Roman pagan, demolish all churches and get additional income. And the ever present threat of the Sassanids, should they beat the White Huns and declare war on ERE. What you get in return, are powerful units that aren't even unlocked until you are either destroyed, or 120-odd turns have passed, as well as additional trade income. Not that the WRE doesn't - namely Herculiani or Cornuti. Matiarii and Noble Foederati are solid, too. Feel free to disagree. But I hope I've made a solid point :p Edit: Sorry I just realised the ERE starts with 37 regions...

Surprisingly, I thought taking down Carthage and its client states was a bit tougher than the rest. But once they're dealt with, Rome is pretty much on the steamroller imo. (I much prefer playing on the Carthaginian side instead, but that's for another time.) You're so right about it being the complete opposite in Attila with ERE and WRE though. It was a constant circle of getting destroyed for 90-odd turns, especially if you choose to keep the Christian churches in there XD

Most of the food is in Italy, and unless you go pagan you really don't need the food anyway. If you're struggling with money then you really need to build more ports, as trade ports will give around 750 each as a flat rate at level 2. Don't go through the construction tree and you'll be able to build fully levelled aqueducts and your ports will become the mainstay of your economy. They're safe as well because the AI is dumber than anything on the water and if you ever get attacked navally just snipe off the enemy commander with your garrison ships, you'll win almost all naval combats as marines are very very strong against land units. Also Spain is easy af to re-take but it's a drain on your early game expenses. You really want to just build up Italy beyond any level of sense because if you do then you'll never ever struggle to hold it.

The WRE is more a matter of patience than skill, because fighting in real time is VERY useful when defending a settlement. A total game changer. But fighting every battle in real time is a tedious and absurdly long ordeal since you will be invaded on average 3 times each turn, and sometimes you might be forced to hold out a massively outnumbered siege and win due to time limit. Which again takes time and patience.

Defeat the barbarian hordes trying to enter in your territories 5. After stabilizing the situation, get a legion and conquer one province in Denmark/North Germany 6. Start making military buildings there, and use it as a base to spam legions and raze the barbarians' provinces 7. Never reseach the civilian technologies that block you certain technologies, as you will need to build aqueducts, libraries and stuff

After playing the Western Roman Empire and brutally losing, the Eastern Roman Empire was so refreshing and much more "balanced". Like it had the perfect level of difficulty. It was especially easier to get the economy under control and actually make good money. The borders were also better although the Sassanids were a big problem. I guess with the ERE it was a race against time to get your shit together before the collapse of the WRE so you're ready when attention turns towards you.

Ah yes, a tale as old as time: An empire that grew too large, too fast, and so it collapses from within as it tries desperately to hold what can't be held. In the earlier years of the Roman empire, the main reason that a single city could control so much of the world was specifically because of the fact that they kept their logistics firmly under control.

First Last The Roman Empire didn’t “grow too fast”, it reached its full size throughout 500 years and was comfortable for like 300 years afterwards. The collapse came from instability in political organization and the decay/exploitability of urban centers. You say in the early years they kept logistics under control but the Late Republic was already almost as big as the empire would ever get.

No, the Roman Empire doesn't fit in that category the Mongols, the Umayyads and the Alexandrines did. Like the Ottoman, Byzantine and Neo-European Empires, the Romans converted cultures, organized successful civil administration in conquered lands, founded lasting cities and were the status-quo for half a millennia in Europe. In fact, the fact the first "non-seasonal" Empire is why it's so important to history.

It's ironic, as Rome frist wanted to avoid growing to fast, so they slowly built an Empire. They learned from Alexander the Great, that if an Empire is to last. It needs time to grow. But because, of Roman Elites wanted to control the Roman Republic, it lead to Rome's downfall instead, as people like Ceaser, and Pompeii forced the Republic to grow faster then they would have liked, and it lead to Ceaser's Civil War, and to the Empire.

It's what happens when rulers die with a bunch of territory and multiple heirs. The heirs would rather go to civil war than share peacefully. Also the Praetorian assassinations of Roman Emperors certainly didn't help.

@@MK_ULTRA420 Rome's fate is like a Greek tragedy. A Republic that become, hijack by Political ambitions, from both the Elites, and Poor. As Rome grow, it's problem's grow with it, and the once mighty Republic, become a brutal conquering Empire. Even, though the Roman Empire had many good years, it evenly lead to it's own down fall, as the Empire became compatible, and overstretched. Too much land to hold, to few Soldiers to hold, and crippled Economy that never got fixed, or got much-needed attention. The Roman Empire, become Alexander's Empire.

If you can handle the early game endless siege battles, it's not that bad. I did a Western rome campaign on hard difficulty and despite the constant sieges, it wasn't that bad. the only territory i actually abandoned was Britannia. 30-40 turns in i was ready to expand romes boundaries again, Despite endless assaults on my territories in Gaul.
