Securing our North - ROME 2 Total War ~ Let's Play ROMA [Divide Et Impera] #3

[@ev3rnight356]

Absolutely love the intro giving the story a nice background story and of course gives great immersion.

[@TWSummary]

Thank you bruh I really appreciate the compliments.

[@user-gn8op2yb3y]

It is a shame this type of video intro isn't popular because I am loving it! The story/lore building is truly a great addition IMO and I am glad to have found this channel, keep it up!

[@TWSummary]

Thank you, bruh, that really means a lot to me.

​@@TWSummaryI bet it takes some time editing it lol.

[@WrappedOnion]

The 41 unit armies make the battles feel much more larger than they are.

[@TWSummary]

Absolutely love it from my experience even the AI performs better.

[@xMcNultyx]

is it correct that the garrison army stays the same?

[@jlz2106]

​@@xMcNultyxyeah good question, it seems like it.

[@willnox1]

Yes so it makes taking settlements supppper easy @@xMcNultyx

[@ShadowAngel7]

@@xMcNultyxno it can get larger as well. I know this is 9 months now but maybe other people that end up seeing this may want to know and I got the answer to that. Garrisons also get bigger with 41 units, just got to build the settlement level up first. Some major cities can have 30+ garrison units

[@SergeantSleepy]

The intro is what keeps me coming back, I only play WH3 but watching you play RM2 makes me think about coming to this game and starting my own campaign!

[@TWSummary]

Thank you for the compliment. Especially coming from a person who is into the fantasy titles of CA, that means a lot to me. R2TW is good, and DEI makes it worth it.

[@lvcaslemos]

Ave Romani ✋ Usually videos with more than 1 hour are tiring, but the way you play or build the atmosphere of the game is enjoyable, especially the details you highlight, like sewing alliances before starting a war (just like you did with Masaesyli after Medhlan conquest, preapering the up coming conflict with Qart-Hadasht), this is how the Romans acted - most DEI players ignore this and simply forget that there is a diplomacy option, only use it to extort other factions or sign peace agreements. Keep up the good work.

[@TWSummary]

Ave and thank you.

[@loquetes1887]

Ok man, this is epic.. thank you for the history lesson

[@TWSummary]

Most welcome bruv

[@PapaShep]

Really good video, I really enjoy the incorporation of history/information included with the gameplay. It definitely adds to the experience.

[@TWSummary]

Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate it. 🙂

[@blitz3391]

Absolutly awesome video. Given your in depth knowledge of the mechanics for Rome, would you consider doing a tutorial or a guide on the political and familly system? I have watched several videos on the topic but it still remains quite nebulous to me. You seem quite versed in it :)

Will absolutely 💯 Thank you for the request and suggestion.

Are you planning on putting all of the intros into one video to show the entire campaign once it's done. Cause that is the video that will get the most views from all of this.

[@NumaHippie]

I started watching your Roman DEI campaign and so far I love it. I just finished my Athens DEI campaign and might think to do a Roman DEI campaign sometime this week.

Thank you for the kind words bruh. Yes I will surely make a series on the Economy as well.

[@awesomefinnbro6190]

I have a suggestion/advice; Depends how these nations progress you may want to try and get an alliance with Ptolomei (Egypt) and Macedonia. In couple of my Rome runs I've noticed that either: A) If these nations are not yet destroyed and are doing well than Epirus may try secure alliance with Macedonia and Carthage with Eqypt. B) It is likely that if Epirus and Carthage are doing well, they might declare war on them and in possible worst scenario gains more land boosting their own war efforts against Rome.

[@TWSummary]

Firstly, thank you for the write up and keen insight. (A) excellent suggestion really, an alliance with the Ptolemaic Kingdom would really be a fruitful one, and will last until the Marian reforms and perhaps even into the Imperial reforms. The Antigonidai however, will soon be under the Republic after the Second Punic War. Especially since the Kingdom of Epirus is no more. (B) Total agree with this, and will consider this.

Thank you bruh

[@jadegreen438]

I've Really been enjoying the series, and i got a question in regards to setting up my own game with same mods. I was curious about the (My version for 1.32, with Peregrini Allies, Unlimited Auxilia, more army caps for AI and Player, Better banners for 41 unit stacks) If there was a video or instructions on this. I assume it has something to do with editing a script or something within the game. Any help would be lovely thank you, And keep up the good work.

[@eternalanglo1528]

How do you get the Socii troops to use the foreigner class? is it a submod or a change in the new update? I started my own Rome campaign just before your first episode so its perfect timing. Really like the series btw. In my campaigns I always try to stay relatively close to history so this is perfect for me.

[@TWSummary]

Hey there, I hope you're doing well. I made a submod for this series that converts the Socii to Peregrini class. But you can find a submod in the steam workshop that does the same made by Rhetor.

[@dominicsayoco40]

Love this man! Ive been playing rome for a while now, what submod did you use to have that many units under a general?

[@TWSummary]

It's not a submod. You need to use the save gave parser to amend the save file to allow 41 unit stacks. The link to a video tutorial is there in the description of my first video. Made by a Total Hardcore Player.

[@Spectification]

A couple of questions: Why do you keep leveling up the zeal of political characters for example? How do you fight against armies with stretched-out frontage, if you keep a narrow frontage?

[@TWSummary]

Hi, I hope you are having a good day. Good questions. Firstly, zeal and authority are important to unlock cunning, and cunning can be used for various political actions. Such as assassinations, entice, etc. Keeping a narrow front allows you to have more troops in reserve. The AI doesn't change width and stick to the default width set by the mod. Reserves have several advantages, as seen in my battle against the Veneti. - You can use them as reinforcements when the Frontline is exhausted. Remember, an exhausted troop suffers from 50% strength, which means they hit half as less and get hit twice as much. So replacing them with fresh reserves means you get a 50% advantage against exhausted enemy troops - You can react to unforeseen circumstances like in the battle against the Veneti you can see me apply two different strategies on the left and right flank. On the left flank, I use my reserve prinicpes samnitici to extend the frontline and prevent encirclement. On the right flank, I use the reserve principes samnitici to encircle the enemy. In other words, reserves allow for greater tactical flexibility. - Reserves are a great way for preserving you more expensive heavy hitters from taking losses and using them to swing the balance with greater effect against a tired foe.

[@Spectification]

@@TWSummary Of course. I was just wondering, because I fought a lot of Nomad tribes in the last campaign and they had they whole armies streched out. I was wondering, if narrow frontage wont get encircled.

[@TWSummary]

When fighting the Nomads, you have to stretch out, they are the only exception. Bunching up will only make your troops eat more missile damage.

[@BeefLoverMan]

Do you explain your choice of temples in any of the videos (and I missed it)? I tend to only use Mercury in money provinces, Mars in military provinces and Minerva (research rate) absolutely everywhere else. I noticed you always build the tree (forgot the name). Any reason for that? It always seemed the least useful to me, but while I've played my fair share of this game I'm no where near your experience :D

[@TWSummary]

Best for public order.

Dude I have watched plenty of channels I definetly glad I found this one. Never knew about the 41 troop stacks that seems like the way to go more realistic. Gonna have to start my rome campaign again And use that realistic mod to get that scripted peace with Carthage because they usually do not peace until they are down to 3 settlements 🤦🏽‍♂️ makes it impossible to try and make it a historical campaign this way

Sorry mate another question, your mod list states it should have expanded the army cap etc, yet it hasnt. Also I followed instructions as per this video to do it myself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4qsnZ2spJaCbKs (though i couldnt get mod manager to work so just added a bunch of '@@@@@' to the front of the name so it goes to top of the list on the standard steam mod manager.
