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???????

yeh being defensive is not the best for that game, unlike ETW, but that's a different thread


It's always a bummer when you're one turn away from capturing the town, for an enemy army to land next to you. A real ''sod this'' moment.

also the lack of field defensive fortifications, i can think of a few for that time that would cool

I find RTW to be easy to defend... I also prefer RTW over the others because of all the unique abilities, like Phaylanx, Testeudo, Warcry, etc.

when you have a big wall, yeh

but out on teh field, getting attacked by a large army, generally means death (unless your army is equally large or high end units)

Range those slow moving testudos and phalanxes. You can make it harder by starting the game with the Migration Strategy. Just to spice things up a bit.

Tactic > Army number,unless you are automatically resolving your every battle.

For the first time in franchise history, players will be able to step on to the hallowed grounds of Augusta National to experience the rich history and tradition of the Masters Tournament. Rely on the advice of your caddie to strategize and focus your game while feeling the intensity of the PGA TOUR season. Embark on the âRoad to the Mastersâ as your career begins on the amateur tour and work your way through Q School, Nationwide Tour, and finally, the PGA TOUR. If you need a break from the grind of tournament action, play a round of mini-golf on one of five fun-filled layouts. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters has something for every golf fan and is the must-have title this year!

The Masters is one of the most prestigious events in Golf History. The name itself carries with it a lot of history and tradition. There have been a lot of solid reasons as to why the popular golf course of Augusta, Georgia never saw itâs landmarks in any golf game to date, but in this yearâs version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour, that all changes. In Tiger 2011 we saw some changes that were not so pleasant, but this year we get a slicker look of a more polished golf game that has been growing in popularity for years. Do the changes to this years mechanics and the central point of the Masters out swing the year prior? Easily.

My bro somehow manoeuvred his general, one velite unit, and one hastati into a small space between two large rocks, and almost held off his Gaul opponents. I don't know how he plays his battles so well; I administrate and direct the overall game strategy, he does the tactical work. Siblings ftw.

i will usually either do a battle of attrition (especially if i'm on BI) or just commence in a standard fight to the death (walk, charge and hope to jeebus your formation holds)

I once defended a settlement with a depleted Hoplite Mercenary unit, two Merc Peltasts, One velite unit, and a hastati with one man in it XD. Plus my general. Won against 1300-1500 enemies XD

any faction with hoplites are ridiculously good
but romans are also amazingly good, great defence reasonable attack and amazing morale.

Post Reform Romans are just overpowered. They kind of spoil the game for the rest of the factions!
