Rome 2 total war best faction4/18/2024 ![]() Their only weakness is their poor starting position, but that's plenty easy to deal with. If you like Javelins, then Bactria or Pontus are nice and they still get eastern archers. I hope you mean in campaign, since I don't know if custom or online battles give you those advantages. Can be hired as mercs by everyone with access to Hellas and as auxiliaries by Rome (in Hellas). Eastern factions' range units has an advantage over other range units, they have more ammo by default. In terms of raw damage output, the best I know of are Cretan Archers. Only three factions actually get them, and they are absolutely a game-breaker if used properly. Parthians have a great range of Archers from the very beginning or either Averni or Suebi. But more than anything else? Elephants, of all three varieties. You've got tolerable missile troops with the standard Greek Archers, and you've got Scythed Chariots for when you just need to panic a bunch of enemies on open terrain. You've got both Pike Phalanxes and Legionaries, so you can have your pike-wall cake and eat your excellent-siege-troops-and-amazing-reserves too (that metaphor wound up a bit tortured.). Companions are flawless medium cav, and there's nothing wrong with your skirmishers. Good Cavalry? You've got Cataphracts, and there's no such thing as better heavy Cav. There are 3 major Roman factions available to play: Palmyra, Gallic Rome and Rome, who all receive the Defenders of Civilisation trait, giving them a 15. Seculids are also excellent because they have simply the best army roster of any faction. They also have the best temples of any Roman faction (+exp and +equipment quality are win, basically) and they get Gladiators before anyone else, if that matters to you. In the late game, you've got the Post-Marius Roman army, which is frankly quite good in all respects. The AI is awful at managing the Greeks, so you should be able to easily rip their Phalanxes apart despite your apallingly weak early-game Roman army. The Brutii have an excellent starting position and early expansion into the Greek Cities, giving them most of the wealthiest territories in the game from very early on. The Warhammer mods for Rome and Medieval 2 proved there was an audience for a Total War: Warhammer, but it still felt like a miracle both that it finally. Best factions are either the Brutii or the Seculid Empire.
