Some stakes, we'll put on the...I don't know--whatever, we'll just put some stakes here. OK, just throw 'em around--it doesn't matter--it should be fine." Roman soldiers: "Sir, yes, sir!

Playing WRE is an art.. i figured out that keeping a cheap navy in the area were you have vulnerable coastal settlments is very nice. So when an enemy army is in the sea or attacks your settlement you can just ram their transport ships in one hit and sink their entire army in seconds.. they also stack up alot when they are about to disembark wich makes it easy to pick them of with onagers from land

[@jaywerner8415]

Good to know.

[@Fffffffffffffffffrfrf]

Hi, I totally agree, Britain can be held easily with two fleets and one army, building two garrison in the north will stop enemy from Scotland and Ireland, also due to the low food production of that provinces after the first "climate change" event they are pretty screwed.Two armies for Africa and the rest in East Europe should do the work. I think that the game changer move is the demolition of churches, in my runs i've never had problems with the unrest for religion and getting rid of the churches free a lot of money which can be used for more useful buildings like garrison o acqueducts.

use defensive testudo apollo when you're defending settlements and cities it's very helpful and its very effective against cavalry, archers, and is a bit effective against infantry as well

[@TheAurelianProject]

Attila is like the last somewhat decent total war game

[@jeffthemercenary]

My Attila is one of my favorites including Shogun 2 and Napoleon

[@alexanderfish3407]

Spain is pretty easy to hold onto actually, you just need like a 1/3rd stack army to move around for public order and to hold Gibraltar. I usually abandon the British isles and north africa right away, but I hold onto all of france of and Illyria. I have played western rome many, many times. I think its my favorite setting, it just gets repetitive after a while, and frustrating because of the shit quality roman troops. also the city burning mechanic is way overdone, it makes holding onto even a well fortified settlement nearly impossible. I wish they would have toned it down a bit, and maybe even add a firefighting mechanic to combat the flames. and the Huns arent even very fun to fight, they have ridiculous combat stats, and the respawning army stacks are absurd, pretty sure the Huns didnt have heavy artillery in real life, yet every freaking stack gets like 3 of the best in the game, yet the AI is retarded, so all you have to do is take a high tier army up north and set camp in front the Hunnic horde, then kill them all in one climactic battle... over and over again. additionally, this would have a been a perfect game to use an intrigue system similar to what they eventually put into 3 kingdoms, which is probably the only good thing to come out of that game. I just want this game, but with the whole world to conquer, I want to really bring rome to all corners of the planet, that would be amazing.

[@amirhosseynmahqany3063]

fight them in fortifications and tech up to herculiani seniores real soon real fast, otherwise they'll just tear through your legions really easy, and scholae gentiles are marvelous against their cav

[@C0NSTANTINUS]

Wwell we don’t know. The Huns probably built them for sieges . Artillery was never used on battlefield only sieges. But total war has to add that . Who wouldn’t want artillery on the battlefield.

[@C0NSTANTINUS]

Anyone who knows war knows how to siege

[@isaacemanuel152]

@@C0NSTANTINUSwell said. The use of any sort of artillery on the battlefield is purely for effect in these games but the Huns were especially noted for their knowledge of siege tactics by the Romans. However, I have to disagree and say that not everyone who knows war knows how to siege, as the Huns knowledge and usage of siege weapons was considered exceptional among “barbarians”. In fact it was precisely their ability to take cities with seemingly little effort that astounded and terrified the Romans so much initially, as the prior barbarian invaders had always been able to defeat field armies just fine but struggled with walled cities.

[@rexmoar5946]

in that first battle, you could have used the archer ships to ram their transports and make sure you put your units in testudo because entity mass helps protect the unit from charges, protip for next time.

[@matthewdavid908]

I’d recommend putting your guys holding choke points into testudo formation, makes them much more effective

[@domotrizz5710]

“Oh yes! Cream.”

[@seabear_5312]

Apollo, testudo prevents cohors and other sword units from throwing javelins, try placing them on the walls close to choke points to allow them to pick off units and be close enough to support the line

[@TheCoal27]

You've gotta remember in Atilla archer ammo types actually make a difference. If your archers had been on heavy shot that first battle they might have been able to kill their general and lead to you winning the day. So standard shot is good against light infantry like archers. Flaming shot is good against cavalry (unless that cavalry has too heavy of armor in which case I think it's about even with heavy shot). Heavy shot is a god send against heavy infantry (cuts through them like a hot knife through butter). And whistling shot does massive morale shock (I don't know that I've ever really seen whistling shot used effectively). Also, on the governors not getting assigned on the first click, click the governor, then click the empty portrait slot on the province you want to assign them.

Apollo, if your cavalry is not useful in a siege situation you can have them dismount and fight on foot and have them remount when needed.

[@jasons.7506]

At settlements, what I do is place my legio and legio comitatenses at the choke points in stationary testudo. It prevents them from getting hit by missiles, and it ups their defense and bracing ability. I have been able to hold off hordes of enemies with one unit of legio in stationary testudo.

[@Fffffffffffffffffrfrf]

Hi Apollo, the secret of this campaign lies in the first turns; First of all you have to destroy all the churches, you will save loads of Money because these buildings cost Money per turn. You Will also earn Money from the demolitions. The free slots should be used to improve hygiene food production and public order. Boost the defences in the border buy Building garrisons, these buildings give u troops without Need Money per turn. Once ready the defences u have to hold for the First 20/30 turns, this should stop some migtations. By the time Attila shows up you May have build 3/4 strong armies to reinforce the garrisons when needed. Also you have to spam the assassination of the enemy leader to make things easier...last advice, dont research technologies from the middle line of the Civic tree, in that way u can use Roman technologies to improve public order and prevent deseases in the cities. I've won this campaign by doing so and I found It One of the best campaign in a Total War game. I Hope this helps...keep going on, you are great!

[@gs7828]

In the last NTW tournaments you tried not to thin your lines: here it would work even better.

[@lesliverspy3095]

I know it seems super hopeless but take the time to set up traps and make choke points, fight amd fight till the very last your first ever defeat, you thought about it, and placed your traps and troops well to where by the time the enemy won, their army was nearly destroyed, you gotta just keep fighting like that and the enemy will lose mire tham they have gained

[@amirhosseynmahqany3063]

hey man, for your next WRE campaign i'd play way more agressive if i wanted to hold all my territories (which is a good challenge, not the best option thou), use the vandals to get rid of alamans the first 2 turns (offer vandals to join war against alamans) train 3 cohors and w8 for the quadians to attack you in savaria smash that army ( you need to cheese the game a bit, w8 for them to exhaust their cavs and then use your cav to get rid of their missiles (you need to cheese the AI skirmish mode, constantly click different skirmish units as they get ready to loose arrows), use your skirmishers to kill the axe infantry and then cycle charge) meanwhile in britain if you are great in field get rid of the caledonians first turn using mercenaries ( you need to kill their generals), sack and raze eildon get back to eburacum and weather the storms if you can't deal with the caledonians just weather the storm or better yet leave brittania to them, merge the two armies in belgica train them to a full stacks and go for the saxons use the legion in gallaecia to deal with the suevians ( do not force march train as you move) and yes you need to dismantle lots of buildings just like you did in this game or leave every fucking province all together and just keep liguria venetia italia magna graecia and insulae occidentalis ( not a challenge basically makes the campaign one of the easiest campaigns of the game.)
