Rome Total War - 31K and CWB Rules Explained!

[@CyrusTheGreatTW]

Arguably most needed video for our community nowadays; I already knew rules but it's very useful to send this to some kids which always know better. Good job.

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

Cheers Cyrus, hope your exams went ok!

[@CyrusTheGreatTW]

Great vid. I'm a single player "player" of total war, however I'm intrigued by the online scene but have only played a few games against friends. Thanks for the video biscs and which rule set would you recommend and why? See you soon -V

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

I think cwb is a good basic skill to pick up. But 31K is quicker to learn and i find it more fun.

[@gamingwithslacker]

+Biscuits Total War ok thanks for the advice. Have a nice day -V

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

If it was a competition then I would agree. But we both know we have played many cwb and 31k rule games on other maps etc.

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

+Hannibal Barca Someone call SC, as he's just been burnt!

[@HannibalBarcaRTW]

Biscuits Total War hes a noob honestly, makes a video saying "sythia is good counter for egypt" while he hides in snow and the trees

[@icetea_isgood]

thanks this is very useful!

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

glad it helped.

[@nitsugoYT]

Is it just me that both modes seem to have strong bias towards rome, and greece and elephant free factions with good variety of infantry, and makes factions like Scythia extremely weak due to being forced to rely on infantry with no good infantry, and having all your options filled with mutually exclusive ones where other armies are allowed variety. Some factions like Greece and Rome feel almost know harm they have good redundancy of best units and can do quite well within the established cavalry limits. With this the only good thing that carthage would get to make them stand out is sacred band. Rome however still gets to use maximum number of Urban cohorts that get spammed to infinity and are far more powerful than any of the limited forces on other factions.

[@dogbadger]

Yeah - I'm sure the 31k rules were geared around the exact Roman army example shown.. Some of the greeks can be competitive like this but the cav, berzerker and ele limits fuck up most of the others. But it seems the rules was never designed with any of these factions in mind.

[@roygrutchfield5715]

Great, Thanks

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

Cheers!

[@Dolfy]

I thought Pre Marian was the most commonly broken ruleset.

[@gooscarguitar]

Nah, every bloody time I host a CWB free-for-all, even when I explain the rules and ask if everyone's understood, some wanker brings elephants or ten urban cohorts or something.

[@Dolfy]

Even pros like Biscuits break Pre Marian rules :/

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]

Do i??!? lol

[@BiscuitsTotalWar]
