Rome Total War Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits

Welcome to Rome Total War a brilliant strategy where players are expected to expand the roman empire or dominate the sea and trade as Carthage. You can build giant armies of gladiator units, elephants and Persian cataphracts. Now we are going to go up against the barbarians of gaul and legions of rome but with a little challenge! But we will be playing as the british / britons today and using only peasant units! These peasant units are the single WORST UNIT in the entire game. They will flee at the first sign of combat but we will somehow use them to conquer rome and maybe do a world conquest using the worst unit in the game only. I have done archer only runs and sycthian horse only runs but no today this is going to be something special!

steam description: Total War: ROME REMASTERED lets you relive the legacy that defined the award-winning strategy game series. Remastered to 4K with multiple improvements to visuals as well as refinements to gameplay, it’s time to revisit a true classic. Not everyone gets a second chance to conquer the Roman Empire.

*I am sure the developers perfectly balanced the games auto resolve to factor in how weak peasants are relative to unit size...*

[danielhale]

Spiff: They're affordable!
Spiff: They're replaceable!
Spiff: They're highly expendable!
Me: I wish you wouldn't call me out like that

You clearly haven't seen the best offer the AI does in this game

Our offers: Please don't attack us

Their offers: Accept or we will attack

[XtreeM_FaiL]

-What are your orders, sir?
-Kill their strongest units and the rest will run away!
-Sir! Enemy doesn't have any strong units.
-Wait what?

Spiff, destroying Roman Empire by using civilians with shivs: how oddly british...

P.S.: I have a feeling that the "real" representation of battles would have been all roman legionaries being simply mugged in the night.

Imagine being an elite soldier, trained only by the best and in an army of equally qualified and equally elite comrades and somehow you guys fight the average farmer armed with nothing but a rusted sword and the clothes on their back… and get absolutely manhandled

[Poweraded]

He’s back with another amazing total war game never thought I’d live to see this again

[budwyzer]

Chariots were SUPER overpowered in Rome: Total War's autoresolve so your general unit probably did a lot of the heavy lifting. That's why Britain and Egypt always took over their sections of the map.

This makes me remember the days when I conquered half of Europe with my legendary "Belenus the Conqueror". This game makes you so much intrigued with your generals career.

[jordanhooper]

Love this game, currently destroying the Romans as Britain.

I managed to kill 1100 Romans with 6 heavy chariot units losing only 75men

Back when the original game first came out one day I decided to do a small reconnaissance in force with a group of 3 or 4 cavalry units (the lowest of the Roman ones, likely was Julii) and decided to autoresolve everything. It took something like 10 battles without any reinforcements before they were finally defeated. No named unit, no upgrades, only the experience gained from the battles themselves. Near the end something like 20 people were defeating armies of several hundreds.

Ah, yes, the timeless tactic of throwing endless amounts of under supplied combatants at your enemy

This had me rolling 😂😂

Gauls be like :
" Accept our demand or we will attack "

Their demands :

" Please do not attack "

[GoErikTheRed]

I think my favorite cheese campaign I did was as the Egyptians. No units, only generals. Egyptian chariots are a little OP in melee, but they also have the range and speed of horse archers, so you can kite indefinitely. I basically sent diplomats all over the world bribing generals then using said generals to take out entire enemy armies. With no army to maintain I was swimming in money

[richardfarrer]

If it worked for Boudicca in Colchester, I see no reason it wouldn't work for Spiff in Rome.

I guess they changed the population thing due to the population-moving feature: recruit dirt-cheap pop-heavy units in one town, and then disband them in a city you want to grow.
It's really useful early on, when you can power-level your new cities with just a few units of peasants (like Segesta and/or Patavium if you play Julii) from your main settlements.
Late game it's more useful to let a city rebel just so you can enslave them.
It really keeps the squalor down 👍
