[@maruisaiahnapa7381]

As a total noob, I learned a whole lot more from this guide than I expected! Please consider making more Rome 2 guides in the future, especially on topics that haven't had much coverage like economy, province specialization and beginner battle tactics

[@Bubinni]

I do have future plans! Im working with my editor on an economy guide!

[@daanda1666]

helpful little guide, I never really know what to do with the whole politics system in Rome II, so I mostly just ignore it

[@Bubinni]

I usually ignore it as well but some of those little intrigues can be quite nice. Especially when the AI gives you a free town cause you control most regions in a province. Avoiding a war.

[@maarekstele2998]

You can ignore it? Oh thank goodness

[@nokedlih9141]

@@maarekstele2998 As far as I know not entierly because even if u dont interact with it it will still do its thing on its own and it happened to me on many occasions, while ignoring politics, that a random rebel army just spawned out of nowhere and turned out it was one of the factions rebelling or something so unfortunetly u cant really ignore it.

[@frodobaggins9752]

On hard difficulty, ignoring it leads to inevitable civil war. I learned the hard way.

[@Sukuun]

@@BubinniI planned my secession perfectly. House of Cornelia was becoming too hard to control due to Thirst For Power. However, they had only 4% influence and only controlled Magna Gracia. I made sure they had no generals commanding any armies, and I put 4 of my armies in the province to immediately attack after they seceded. I crushed them in one turn.

[@TheFishwargammer]

sometimes if I want to start a war with another faction I'll send a diplomat from another party - win/win. But most of the time I focus on levelling up authority/zeal (>7) and spam the rally support, can use the buy gift, marriage and diplomat to counter the loss of loyalty from rally support. But yh sometimes a boat in the middle of no-where is my favourite :)

[@Bubinni]

"Theyre trying to leave the faction, sir." "Send them to the deep."

Dude finally some high quality guides for Rome 2 Its shockingly hard to find quality content

[@Bubinni]

[@colbystrange3552]

Thank you so much man, a year or two ago I was doing a sparta campaign but I gave up after fighting my FOURTH cival war. i just saw no point in playing after I gain a few regions my entire army would flip on me.

[@serek_heterogenizowany]

Its really simple but of course I was totally clueless for a long time before I actually understood what I should do. But a good civil war is vitail when you want to quickly change your government type, especially when you want the Empire type.

[@salzmann4207]

Good vid dude, keep it up. Really enjoying your guides. One question tho: if I conquer a new province, whom will they be loyal to? Is it random or the conquering general's faction or what? Keep it up tho bro, I hope to see more of that soon.

[@Bubinni]

From what I've seen, its usually random. However, the more influence you have the more likely it will be yours. But, if you do see a party with no land at all, the next province you reach out to may end up being in their control. For example, if you have 3 political parties but only 2 provinces, the 3rd province will then be theirs.

[@salzmann4207]

@@Bubinni alr thanks bro

[@YubelTheLovingDefenderForever]

Does using the cheese way prevent the party from spawning with a ready army? For example, I played a campaign as rome and the party took a few settlements but also spawned in with an army consisting of praetorians and other higher tier units while my current best were Princepes...

[@Bubinni]

Im pretty sure they will separate, and any politicians of the party will become generals. But if they're in an army already, they should just take the armies/fleets theyre apart of.

[@Maxrodon]

Silly questions from me, is the key goal of the politics system to keep other parties loyal, while maximising your influence? So in simple terms, so long as all my rivals are constantly kept loyal, I don’t have to worry about civil wars and as a back up, by ensuring the rivals have low influence, it means a smaller amount of territory that would rebel and hopefully a less messy civil war as it should be easier to manage. Is that right? And are civil wars inevitable in the Game or is it fairly feasible to avoid them?

[@Bubinni]

@@Maxrodon Youve got it down! As for them being inevitable, you can manage them and go a campaign without a civil war, but sometimes they will be inevitable given the parties traits. Especially on harder difficulties. There is a balancing mod that better works the loyalty system and levels called "More loyalty, less succession" on steam if you prefer mods.

[@Maxrodon]

@@Bubinni Just want to say a massive thanks for the response and all your total war videos. I've just started playing the game in December and your videos were a refereshing bootcamp to help me get my head around the systems of the game. Thank you, thank you thank you.

@Maxrodon Glad to help! Hope you enjoy the game.

@@Bubinni Sorry to hassle, but did you ever cover how best to use the different agent types in Rome 2? Thanks

[@Bubinni]

@Maxrodon I have not, but that's an excellent idea!

Appreciate the support!

[@Hardlett]

Any tipa how to prevent another politic party to form?

[@Bubinni]

The larger your party gets; the more parties will form. There is no way to prevent this from happening.

[@gregory5395]

Nice video

[@Bubinni]

@@gregory5395 appreciate it

[@LeonardoFiesel]

I do have a question, it's possible for your political party be the solo ruler of a faction? Because when I force a civil war another party spawn and so on.

[@Bubinni]

Im not too sure if it still occurs, but currently there are secessions. There should also be an actual civil war that breaks out where you lose your capital and a bunch of armies spawn on your capital city. Defeating those would allow you to form just your own political party as the sole ruler. However, I havent seen that occur in a long time.

[@valbenedictdalaza9097]

If a secession happens or provoked a party, once you beat them another political party will spawn on your government after a few turns.

[@Yaahzy1]

Your best bet is to completley get rid of all other parties untill you get one that is docile.

[@lh-hw7il]

Alternatively, just install the mod that disables political parties. The idea is great but it's designed for failure. Literally no way to avoid civil war eventually.

[@Bubinni]

@@lh-hw7il I agree

[@onyxcrusader9536]

Sorry Just a clarification, If I am house Julia in this example If I use a general from house Junia, will house Junia gain gravitas, and therefore loyalty towards me as House Julia or will they gain more control over the government increasing their control

[@Bubinni]

Using a member from an opposing political party to fight as a general will give their party more gravitas when that general wins battles. However, you do get a small loyalty bonus that will be called "General wins battles". It's about 2 loyalty per battle won and lasts for about 2 turns. So, you do get loyalty from them, but they gain influence and increase their control.

Hello man Your video was so helpful But i have a problem My new king although he has a wife But he doesn't porduce babies 😅 What do i have to do ?

[@Bubinni]

@@DiscordDiscord-y5i There's usually a base % chance of having kids. If it's been a long time and they're not having kids, one of them could have a trait that lowers their chances of having children. But producing babies is straight up a chance thing. You could try and make him a politician so he isn't leading a military force and see if that helps.

[@samym1694]

I found a useful bug in "Grand Campaign" a campaign where all Characters age every 1 turn last longer even over 200 Characters recalled from Army & sent on missions like Opening Feast,Organise Games,Vacation & become Ambassadors cannot die whilst being active even at the age of 80. Send & Recall as Generals or send them on Missions & then repeat every turn because once at the age of 70, chances of Natural Death is 100% I highly recommend to keep Auto-Save on in case you forgot to keep it active otherwise that Character especially with 8+ Faction Loyalty trait dies permanently.

[@Bubinni]

Never seen that before, interesting.
