Rome: An Introduction to the Civilization of Total War

In Rome: Total War, Roman civilization is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. They have advanced technology, abundant wealth and strong military strength. There is a formula for playing Rome. Luo Hong's general, Roland's boat and Laura's boat tickets are all inexhaustible. Before the outbreak of the Roman Civil War, the Roman Senate controlled Rome and assigned tasks to the other three families.

The primitive infantry in Rome was divided into three types of heavy infantry and two types of light infantry. The three heavy infantry are the Roman Youth Army, the Roman Heavy Infantry and the Roman Elite Infantry, and the light infantry is the Roman Light Infantry and Roman Archers. In addition, it also has cavalry units with average strength, such as Roman light cavalry and Roman auxiliary cavalry. Rome has powerful siege weapons, such as crossbows, scorpion crossbows and stone throwing crossbows.

After Mario's reform (trigger condition: any city outside Rome reached and upgraded to a megacity), Rome's military system has undergone great changes, with auxiliary infantry and legion infantry replacing the original infantry. In addition, the cavalry units have also been strengthened, and advanced infantry, Roman guards and Roman garrison infantry can be recruited. Most heavy infantry can use the skills of the tortoise shell array, and their combat effectiveness is greatly increased.

Rome is divided into three factions, each with different strategic goals, and the three factions will eventually launch a civil war, which depends on the support of the people. If the public support is extremely high, it can take the lead in launching a civil war. But if the support of the Senate is too low, you will be punished, such as asking faction leaders to commit suicide or expel from Rome, then you have to choose civil war.

Roman Julius family

Julius is a legendary family. . .

Fate didn't think highly of the Julius family, which also made the Julius family recognized. Julius vowed to prove their ability by unifying the world.

Julius family is one of the factions that can be used at the beginning of the original version, mainly located in the northern part of the Italian peninsula. The local cities are Aretien and Arimilano, facing the Gauls. The general temples are mostly to increase the security attributes of the city. Gladiator with his own characteristics-Samonet Gladiator.

Julius family is the simplest faction in the overall Roman war, and its main opponent in the early days was Gaul. However, in order to seize the opportunity and restrict the development of the other two families, it is necessary to attack Semin and Corinth, and suppress Greece, Macedonia, Carthage and Sparta from the sea, so that the development of the other two families will be restricted, and the territory of the julius family will also grow rapidly.

Roman Scipio family

The most martial family in Rome is undoubtedly the Scipio family. They worship Poseidon and God of War, and they are unwilling to submit to the Senate. They are the most ambitious of the three Roman families.

The Scipio family is one of the factions that can be used in the beginning of the original edition, mainly located in the Italian peninsula and the central part of Sicily, where there are Kapuya and Messina, mainly facing Carthage and Greek city-states, temples that can enhance the strength of infantry weapons and the navy, and warships with their own characteristics-Crow of Heaven and seven warships, which need to be frequently landed.

The Scipio family has a unique naval advantage, which shows that they can seize the opportunity from the sea. For the Julius family, they can take a boat expedition to Gaul or Spain and capture the gold producing areas of Spain and Lower Gaul. For the brutus family, they can attack Greece and Macedonia, occupy the rich Balkan Peninsula and restrict the development of the brutus family.

Roman brutus family

The most civilized family in Rome is undoubtedly the brutus family. They respect the old and love the young. They are the diplomatic ambassadors of Rome.

Roman brutus family is one of the factions that can be used in the opening of the original. Its main geographical location is in the eastern part of the Italian peninsula, and the enemy it faces is the Greek city-state. Have a temple that can improve morale.

It is difficult for the brutus family to restrict the other two families because of its geographical location. However, its main attack direction is the Balkans, which is an economically rich region. After the occupation, its economic strength was greatly enhanced, and the brutus family could also explore Egypt south. At this time, the world's rich areas are in the hands of the brutus family, and the brutus family can rely on its strong economic strength to accumulate strong military strength.

Roman Senate

The leader of Rome directly ruled the whole of Rome.

Modification available, Roman civilization, opening only accounts for Rome. If you click the Senate option, it will pop up incorrectly. Without temples, people will not rebel no matter how they riot. It's difficult at first, because there is only one city, but if we start as soon as possible, it will be much easier in the future. Greek polis

After the Greek polis was unlocked, it was a playable faction and one of the infantry countries with guns. However, the types of infantry are monotonous, and certain cities can recruit Spartan heavy infantry (in Sparta and Syracuse). The cavalry is very general, occupying two wonders at the beginning (the statue of Zeus and the colossus of Rhode Island), and the temple can upgrade the infantry level. Civilization belongs to Greek civilization.

The towns occupied by the Greek city-states at the beginning were scattered, with the Balkans as the center. Syracuse, the ancient city of Sicily, is likely to be besieged by the Carthaginian and Roman Scipio families. However, the walls of the ancient city of Syracuse can help you survive the initial attack, and dispersion is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Greece, which is blooming everywhere, can fight on multiple fronts. The main local task is to destroy Macedonian and Roman Brutu families by the way. It is suggested that Rome be destroyed before it is too late, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Ace arms: Greek heavy infantry, Spartan heavy infantry

Macedonia

The country where Alexander the Great was born began to decline after his death. Can Macedonia reproduce the empire of Alexander the Great under the leadership of the new Alexander?

The original Macedonian version is not available, and it can only be used after revision. It belongs to Greek civilization and is also a country of rifle array infantry. However, its infantry is obviously much richer, and Macedonia has powerful cavalry. Compared with the Greek city-state, Macedonia's military system is more perfect.

Macedonia mainly occupied the interior of the Balkan Peninsula, and there were not many enemies at first. We should focus on destroying the Greek city-states and Rome, and then do our best.

Ace weapon: Royal cavalry, Royal Macedonian spearmen.

Seleuc empire

After the death of Alexander the Great, the generals divided his huge empire into four parts, and the largest part was the Seleucid Empire.

Seleucid Empire can be used after unlocking. Belongs to Greek civilization. There are not only the traditional gun infantry of the Greek school, but also the cavalry of the Oriental school and the sword and shield infantry of the Roman style, as well as powerful war elephants and sickle-rolling chariots, which can be described as the most abundant faction of arms.

Seleuc Empire has a vast territory and is under attack from all sides. The main enemy to pay attention to is Egypt, which was Seleucu's most powerful opponent in the early days. For attacks by other civilized factions, we should focus on defense. If we have strength, we should eliminate some weaker factions around us, such as Parthia, Bentu and Armenia. After surviving the early stage of confronting the enemy head-on and annihilating the surrounding factions and Egypt, Seleucus will be unstoppable.

Ace arms: silver shield spearmen, silver shield infantry, armored cavalry, royal cavalry, armored elephants.

Thrace

Thrace is a nation living on the coast of the Black Sea. They have both armies of civilized factions and powerful armies of their own nation.

There is no primary color les, so it can only be used after modification. Belongs to semi-Greek and semi-barbarian civilization. The gun infantry sent by Greece also has its own special arms: Thrace Sword Soldiers and basta Nai Soldiers. The cavalry is general, and the starting area is relatively poor. It is necessary to send troops to the Balkans quickly, and at the same time be alert to nearby Darcy and Sicily.

Ace arms: basta Nai warrior, thracian sword warrior Parthia.

Parthia, China's ancient resting place, was founded by nomadic people in Iranian plateau, and it is another eastern empire in West Asia after Persian Empire.

Parthia belongs to the original unlocking playable school, and the civilized school belongs to the eastern civilization. Only the poor infantry, the characteristic cavalry is the bow cavalry, and at the same time has a strong armored cavalry. The temple mainly has a security bonus.

Parthia's starting area was relatively poor, so it was doomed from the beginning that there was no huge army. However, the archer's unique arm allows Pattaya to win the battle even with a small number of troops. As long as the archers are used reasonably and Seleucu is attacked immediately from the beginning, the financial problem will be solved soon.

Ace arms: Persian archers, armored cavalry, armored camel cavalry

Bendu

This is the name of a series of areas on the south bank of the Black Sea.

The original version of this capital can't be used, but it can be used after modification. It belongs to the eastern civilization. However, having the gun infantry sent by Greece made up for the disadvantage of the infantry sent by the East to some extent. Instead of the eastern archers, they have their own javelin cavalry and bow and arrow chariots. At the same time, it also has a chariot with a sickle rolling.

It is very dangerous for the capital to occupy poor areas from the beginning. However, owning chariots means that the capital can rely on them to win automatic warfare frequently (automatic warfare is calculated by computer without entering the battle map), and it should quickly sweep across Anatolia Peninsula at first.

Ace weapon: bronze shield spearmen, Capadocia cavalry

Armenia

In history, it was a servant country of Parthia, which broke away from the control of Parthia with the help of the Roman emperor Trajan, but was annexed by the Roman Empire and became one of the provinces of the Roman Empire.

The original Armenian version is not available, but can only be modified and used, which belongs to eastern civilization. Armenia has its own characteristic cavalry, armored cavalry, and is the most powerful long-range cavalry. The opening is relatively safe, but the occupied area is relatively poor, which requires active attack.

Ace arms: armored cavalry, armored cavalry, heavy spearmen Carthage

From the 8th century BC to the 6th century BC, Carthage began to expand inland to Africa, and took control of most Phoenician colonies in North Africa. At the same time, Carthage also marched into the western Mediterranean, occupied the southern coast of Spain and its nearby islands of Sardinia, Corsica and western Sicily, and began to dominate the western Mediterranean, controlling the eastern and western sides of the Mediterranean with Greece respectively.

Carthage belongs to the faction that can unlock the original version, and its geographical distribution is scattered, so it makes many enemies, and the early infantry is not dominant, but it is similar to the Greek city-state. However, this is also an opportunity to blossom on all sides. This city in western Spain can be used as an outpost to capture Spain. The main city of Carthage should actively fight back against Rome. After the destruction of Rome, the great disaster has been eliminated, and Carthage, with its war elephants and imperial edicts in the later period, will be invincible. The disadvantage of Carthage is that long-range troops are generally close, with only javelin soldiers and catapults.

Ace weapon: holy infantry, holy cavalry, armored elephant

Numidia

Numidia (202 BC-46 BC) was a Berber kingdom in ancient Rome, and now this country has died out. Its territory is roughly equivalent to today's northeastern Algeria and a part of Tunisia (both located in North Africa). It was famous for producing elite cavalry at that time. Hannibal, a famous soldier, won many wars with Numidian cavalry in the early days, and was later defeated because Numidian cavalry went to Rome. Since then, Numidia has become one of the provinces and vassals of the Roman Empire.

The original Numidia is not available, so it can only be used after modification. Belongs to Carthage civilization. The quality of infantry is generally poor, and the overall strength of cavalry is also poor, but if tactics are used properly, it is also possible to win skillfully.

Ace weapon: Numidian legion, Egyptian Numidian javelin cavalry

Ptolemaic dynasty (Greek: π τ ο λ ε μ α? κ? βασιλε? α) (305- 30 BC), or Ptolemy Egypt. After the death of Macedonian monarch Alexander the Great, his general Ptolemy I Soter established a dynasty and ruled Egypt and its surrounding areas. Ptolemy I Soter, the founder of the kingdom, established himself as king in 305 BC and declared himself an Egyptian Pharaoh.

Egypt is the only unique faction of civilization. Its infantry is basically artillery infantry, and the General Guard is a special chariot and cavalry. It has one of the most powerful archers in all factions-archers selected by their parents. At the beginning, the three cities of the Nile were rich and the population rose rapidly, which brought benefits to the soldiers. When Seleucus was pushed quickly, the whole of Asia was unified. It is also possible for soldiers to go north and occupy Greece directly.

Ace arms: French archers, Pharaoh's guards, Egyptian Gaul chariots.

In ancient Rome, Gauls were once widely distributed in Europe and divided into two ethnic groups. In addition to the Gauls living in France, some people lived in the plains of northern Italy, and some Gauls immigrated to present-day Spain.

Gaul belongs to the original unlock playable faction, barbarian civilization. The strength of Gaul infantry is average, but it can strengthen morale and some attack power through the roar of war. Towns can only be upgraded to cities. There is a temple where bow and arrow weapons can be upgraded. The characteristic arms of Gaul are forest hunters, a powerful archer with extraordinary power.

The open area is also scattered. In the face of threats from Rome, Spain, Britain and Germany, dispersion is also conducive to multi-line operations. We can consider destroying the Julius family immediately, and the north can also be destroyed after the British landing. Spain and Germany can't let them develop to the later stage, otherwise they will become difficult to deal with.

Ace weapon: Gaul elite warrior, forest hunter

Germanic

Germanic language is the general name of some ethnic groups (tribal societies) with similar languages, cultures and customs. From 2000 to about the 4th century, these people lived in northern and central Europe. Germans do not call themselves Germans. In their long history, they may not consider themselves the same nation. Scandinavian nations, British people, Frisian and Germans evolved from Germans after the Great Migration.

The Germans belong to the primitive unlocking faction, and they are the only faction with guns and infantry in barbarian civilization. At the same time, they have their own characteristic infantry, axe soldiers and Germanic Berserker. They are all powerful arms and cavalry, with powerful Gothic cavalry. Among them, Germanic Berserker and Gothic cavalry needed temples to build.

The area occupied by the Germans at first was very poor, and the economic problem has always been the biggest problem for the Germans. So we must destroy Gaul or March into Rome at once.

Ace arms: Night Attack Regiment, Germanic Berserker, Gothic Cavalry, Germanic Elite Axe Soldiers, Germanic Spearmen.

Britain, England

The British are considered as the last Celts, and the Romans will never conquer the whole British island.

Britain belongs to the original unlockable faction. The infantry is average in strength and has no cavalry. Instead, it is a powerful chariot, which has its own characteristics and is powerful, and can effectively combat enemy morale. The area occupied at the beginning is relatively rich, so the economic strength is relatively strong, but it will be more difficult for the general infantry representatives to fight Gaul and the Germans. Fortunately, the automatic winning rate of chariots is very high.

Ace weapon: British chariot, throwing head

Spain

The original Spanish can't be played, but it can be used after modification. Belong to the barbarian school. But there are many Carthaginian troops. Infantry and cavalry are ordinary, and advanced infantry can throw javelin. The strongest arms are matadors, and Spain conquered the world by them in the later period. Spain's territory is a gold-producing area, so its economy is OK.

Ace weapon: matador

West Xu Ya

The original version of West Xu Ya can't be played, but it can be used after modification. Belong to the barbarian school. There are only two types of infantry in West Xu Ya-peasants and axe soldiers, and the rest are cavalry. Archers are good, while melee cavalry are average. The opening is in the north of the map, which is very poor. You need to rely on archers to win skillfully.

Ace arms: noble cavalry in West Xu Ya, noble archers in West Xu Ya and noble female cavalry in West Xu Ya.

Dasia

The original Dacia can't be played, but it can be used after modification. Belong to the barbarian school. Dacia is a typical infantry with a long sword and the only barbarian faction with a crossbow gun. The open position is in the interior of Europe, which is very poor and needs to attack the Balkans immediately.
