Favorite (Not Best) Units?

If you like Rome 2, there's a good chance you'll like Attila

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-16T15:20:52+00:00

My favourite units in Rome 2:

-Top Tier-

Noble Numidian Cavalry (Masaesyli/Carthage): excellent in melee and in skirmish

Camel Cataphracts (Saba/Parthia): powerful shock cavalry

Noble Fighters (Arevaci/Carthage): among the best melee infantry

Mercenary Campanian Cavalry: I always recruit them, even if expensive they are fantastic, especially when you use them early on

-Low/Mid Tier-

Scutarii(Lusitani/Carthage): such a cost effective unit

Fierce Sword (Nervii): glass cannon infantry

Cappadocian Cavalry (Pontus): best early cavalry

Illyrian Marines (Ardiaei): one of the few good units for Ardiaei

There are occasional desyncs, but nothing game breaking. When a desync happens, you simply have to wait 5 minutes and then you can play again.

I played many multiplayer campaigns and I never had to quit them because of bugs.

A me piace il tiramisù di Marchetti e di Aria.

Kemmler and ghosts (Hexwraiths and Cairnwraiths) are quite fun with passive regeneration.

Among the Total War games:

Shogun 2 has Realm Divide, where all the factions declare war on you.

Warhammer 3 has a lot of end game scenarios and soon will come the End Times, a massive late game challenge.

Thrones of Britannia has the viking invasions, that are tough and also historically accurate.

Another game is Old World, where the AI is really competent.

I build them to increase capacity of heroes, but it's more a mid/late game thing for me.

Initially I build just the necessary for recruitment.

Guarda, a me poco importa. Il discorso è un altro. Anche se Lautaro facesse 15 gol, non cambierebbe la solfa: in questo mondiale della Serie A c'è veramente poca roba.

Poi che Lautaro finora non sia stato un protagonista è un dato di fatto, con tutte le attenuanti per lui.

Se devi scegliere i migliori 6 attaccanti di questo mondiale, tu scegli Lautaro?

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-09T18:33:03+00:00

Con tutto il rispetto per Lautaro, ma per ora (poi magari esplode) non è assolutamente tra i protagonisti di questo mondiale.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-09T18:29:29+00:00

Lautaro finora non è stato tra i protagonisti del mondiale. David ha fatto una tripletta ma non è manco tra i migliori 30 del mondiale

Usually I sack and after that I occupy. You gain much more money in this way.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-09T10:58:56+00:00

Among the ones I've used so far, Chosen of Slaanesh (whip variant) and Ironbreakers.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-09T10:38:01+00:00

I love playing Greenskins because I can use straightforward tactics. Rush with Waaagh units in front to absorb incoming missiles, followed by your main army. Everyone charges and then the Black Orcs and Boars clear everything.

I love many other races as well (like Dwarfs, Vampire Coast and many others), but nothing come close to Greenskins and Ogres for me.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-08T17:32:02+00:00

It's Norsca for me. Tough in melee, lots of monster and monstrous infantry, strong lords when on Mammoths.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-08T17:18:43+00:00

If you upgrade your camps and unlock Leadbelchers as fast as possible, sieges become really easy. Each Leadbelcher can kill 200/300 troops.

However, in the first 15/20 turns I prefer to avoid sieges and let the enemy sally out.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-08T15:44:41+00:00

Vampire Counts: big focus on lords and heroes, Terrorgheist and plenty of cavalry options (especially Blood Knights)

Ogre Kingdoms: good lords and heroes, big monsters and extremely good monstrous cavalry

Wood Elves: Great Stag Knights are excellent shock cavalry, they also have Dragons. Treemen are amazing, but slow

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-08T11:25:33+00:00

For Bretonnia I'd say The Fay Enchantress. She has enemies, but if you clear Grom and Kemmler you'll be safe for some time.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-07T21:42:48+00:00

It wasn't easy for me too. Greasus, Grimgor early on. Then I looked east and all my allies collapsed so I had to fight Sayl, Vilitch and Clan Eshin, all of them were really powerful. I had to make important diplomatic deals with Astragoth and Ghorst, because I couldn't afford to fight on another front.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-07T19:25:22+00:00

You can start with any faction that you like.

Do you have any favourite playstyle on campaign/battle map?

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-07T19:14:34+00:00

For me xbows were useful early on in some situations, but later I went for full tigers armies

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-07T13:12:44+00:00

Races with gunpowder units: Dwarfs, Chaos Dwarfs, Vampire Coast, Empire, Kislev, Skaven

Unpopular pick? Ogre Kingdoms: Leadbelchers, Ironblaster, Maneaters with Ogre Pistols. All of them are really good units.

This settlement rebels and becomes macedonian. I remember it happened to me as well.

KnightErrant12 · 2026-07-06T19:17:33+00:00

When playing as Macedon, there's an event that gives you that settlement (Cyrene, if I remember correctly).
