That one stack in Spain has been there since the game started in 536 and I'm in 540 now and it still has over 4k men. It's rediculous that these armies when their morale is zero can keep running around causing havoc for years and years.
#ROME TOTAL WAR GOLD EDITION SPARTACUS MOD FULL VERSION#
This is supposed to be addressed in the full version I am told. The game itself will literally ping pong you forever with only few losses per battle (like 11 men or so) when your army stacks morale is like zero.
Carthage AI has to keep chasing me around as I sack one province and then wait on them to come. I have one stack of less than 5k men in Spain doing just that. The other bad thing about that ping pong bs is you can keep the AI running around in circles trying to get you. The barbarians come in hordes, but, their combat values are pitiful (like in RTW) and it only takes about 1/2 as many men to defeat them when they have 2:1 odds. Taking care of them with about 15k men split in 3 sections. In the north I am stomping and colonizing the barbarin provinces as well. I have 35000 men at their far eastern provinces one 20k stack and a 15k stack and I'm just marching west one province at a time and the 15k stack is just covering for the rout of the really only carthage army of 12 units, but, hardly 12k men that's playing that stupid ping pong game. It's just a time consumer, the AI can never or will ever win with these zero morale armies it's just playing that stupid DELAYING action most all the AI's in games do that really have no victory objectives.Īlso, the romans have so many ships starting out that it can bring Carthage to a standstill right off the bat, destroy it's income by blockading and then play the ping pong battle wargames until all of them are finally decimated. The AI plays a stupid ping pong game with you, rout it, and it comes right back and if it routs into a province you don't have any units in then it lays siege, then you have to make ping pong armies to push it back into it's own territory or someone elses. You organise your centuries into wings and a centre, and then watch and tinker as the battle unfolds.Well I been playing the EU:Rome demo and I'm finding it pretty simple, really about as simple as RTW as far as the AI goes. Each battle takes place in the geographical territory where it's being fought, giving you mountains, hills, swamps and trees to use to gain the upper hand. The main fun in Rome: Total War is the real time battles that you undertake to win territories and defeat the lords of Rome. Each province owned generates armies and taxes, but the more you own, the more likely they are to rebel, as in the case of the original Roman Empire. There are 8 other families in each game competing for provinces and the first part of the game is to negotiate alliances and trade routes with the other players, slowly picking them off in battle over the course of the game.
A short version of just 15 provinces is available, but much less satisfying. The long campaign version sees players rule their family to take over 50 provinces before taking on the might of Rome itself to be proclaimed emperor.
Each comes with their own pros and cons, but all give a different aspect of challenge. Players start Rome: Total War as the head of one of three families: Julii, Brutii or Scipii. Fans of games like Europa Universalis will enjoy the diplomatic side of growing the empire and forging alliances, whilst those who prefer real time battle strategy will enjoy commanding efficient Roman troops in battle. Fans of the history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire will be pleased with the historical accuracy, with many leaders, generals, soldiers and battles lifted straight from the history books. There are many reasons to play Rome: Total War. Historically accurate game combining diplomacy with military tactics
