Having trouble spreading the glory of Rome? Hopefully these tips help! The game has pretty solid on-boarding, but I found some things weren't stressed enough, and other aspects had interesting tricks to them that might easily be missed. If you have any thoughts or tips of your own, feel free to share 'em! Enjoy!

I love this game. It’s like everything I love about games in one package

[greyroo]

Much appreciated. The tips were very well explained. It gives me a great foundation to start playing the game with.

I just bought the game (it's downloading as I type) and this was all very good to know. I've watched a couple of let's play channels and this video explains things a lot more clearly than what I've seen of the tooltips alone.

[Evilysilly]

Thanks for the tips, played a hour so far felt a little overwhelmed this helped.

Thank you for acknowledging that a lot of these "10 things I wish I knew" stuff are usually already explained in the tutorial. But don't worry, your beginners guides are nothing like that :) I was able to jump into quite a few games thanks to your careful explanations.
You're a peach and please never change

Very good video! Kudos! I' d like to see more about the legions and strategy layer. Keep up the great work!

For your archer, it is essential to get the BARRAGE skill (hunter, last line). With 2 archers in a group, you get 12 attacks (and more with other skills like quick shot) and the MARKSMAN skill (sniper). Two archers can easily decimate a group of enemies all by themselves. Best group : 2 tanks, 2 archers, 2 assassins (cheap shot, assassinate, sneak attack, marathon is very useful to get to a leader right from the beginning to lower the moral & the weapon attack One-Two-Three to resplenish Focus).

Excellent video PE! I started playing the game yesterday and even though I'm a veteran of all types of wargames and have played Expedition Vikings, I found myself really having to learn E:R's combat and tactic management. One thing I was very frustrated by was the game really doesn't elaborate on how to switch weapon sets or that going unarmed gives benefits like healing abilities during combat. The Q and E hotkeys are your friends!

[AlleyCat]

Excellent recap of important aspects of this game. Thank you.

[telibaldero]

Excellent video. Maybe the most detailed and to the point guide to date. Good job and thank you!

[giannifiori]

Very helpful overall guide with some tips, mostly on the turn based combat.
I would very much appreciate also a in depth guide on the strategic battles and its parameters (I'm a little lost on the "army experience", because I can't understand what affects it to increase or decrease on the end of a battle)

[jacknrdampedersen]

Thanks. This game is way more complicated as I thought - in a good way :)

[mindcraft]

Yessss many thanks man, i been waiting for this video.

[ssmith]

Great video with clear explanations! Yes, please do make some on in -depth strategy guide.

[MrGBags]

Thank you for a great video. I saw the demo and played it over the weekend. I've now bought it as from what I have seen so far, this is going to be a great game. I can't wait to play the full version now, and your video has helped with the stuff I didn't know.

[jonaswaever]

This is great video man, I'll be holding onto this link to share with anyone who asks for tips on the Steam forums or elsewhere :)

[spaceman]

Thanks! Love this game but a leg up is always appreciated.

[scotch_mist]

Looks really fun! I'm downloading the demo even as I watch this. I hope you decide to do a lets play at some point if you have time! Thanks for these tips vids!

Something that you could include potentially is that when you have ironman mode enables with perma death not sure if perma death makes a difference specifically or not but there's a quest where you talk to a giant cat while tripping on some drug. If you choose the door on the right you get a game over and it deletes the save. Fun.
