This is a forum comparing the factions in Rome Total war...
Contribute if you have the game!

If you dont, it costs like 10 bucks for Windows on Amazon, but quite a bit more for Mac... What are the best factions???????

And the Sassanids were definitely not barbarians.

The West Romans you mean. The ERE came out quite unharmed.

i dont know about the berbers, but the ERE annhilated the Sassanids, and the ERE later became the byzantines. They declined, but lasted up till 1476 when the Ottoman Turks took constantinple or whatever it is called. They almost survived until the rennisance.

Why are you even talking about the Berbers? Unrelated to ERE and later Byzantine history.

Some Berbers got wiped out by the Visigothic Kingdom, those that survived existed alongside the ERE which anyway soon lost its African provinces. Same Visigothic Kingdom that sacked Rome once. It was destroyed by the ERE later on.

The ERE were quite powerful in comparison to their western neighbors

Question: Has anyone attempted to conquer the Amazons? I'm just too bogged down eating up my other neighbours to step foot in that hell hole.

No not a mod, but a small isolated province right on top of Scythia which is defended by a faction called the Amazons. Or Amazonians. It's a town called Themiskyra, pretty tricky to conquer due to their chariots.

Right that link doesn't work. So here's another one. The Amazon province is the red one in the top right hand corner.
