A great earthquake has shaken the kingdom. It’s up to Marcus to lead an expedition to reconnect the Roman Empire and gain Caesar’s favor. The following walkthrough contains tips and tricks for the game, as well as the locations of all secret hidden treasure locations organized per level. Welcome to!A subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. Balancing Food, Entertainment and Production is like a minigame within Rome 2: TW.Generally speaking, Food Buildings generate Squalor and Food. Religion consumes Food and Kills Squalor. Production generates Squalor and Income or Units.Some people have a problem with this balance. The system in Rome 2 isn't very well explained up to this point, I will try to briefly explain.Provinces, not cities, are what you must be looking at when you are trying to provide a balance. When starting out, your primary province is normally jacked for everything. This is necessary because you don't have the room to specialize. You are limited by the space in your province to only a handful of buildings per city, and must maximize your food, taxes and ability to produce units to wage Total War.In a Province, there is the Capital, and 1-3 Subsidiary cities. Buildings a Red, for Military production, Green, for Food, Yellow, for Commerce, Purple, for Temples, and Brown, for Industry, and Blue for Ports.The biggest Temples can only be built in your Capital. This is VERY important late game.Commercial Buildings also are built in Capitals only. How about Total War on console now?' I believe the canned-response to that tends to be it's always something that's being considered and it's a possibility, but beyond that no comment,' responded Dom Starr.' Personally I think it would be nice to have Total War on console, get the experience to people who aren't necessarily PC gamers.' Edit:SEGA is considering porting its 'big strategy properties' to next-gen consoles if the systems are a success.Talking to MCV at E3 last week, SEGA West boss Jurgen Post explained that 'if next gen consoles become as successful as people say we can look to move some of our big properties on PC over to those machines'.SEGA owns three major strategy IPs, including Football Manager, Company of Heroes and the Total War franchise. UI is exact opposite of new player friendly. It occasionally gives lot of numbers that don't really tell much to new players. For example it tells exactly what single building does. However it hides things what building opens what unit or what is affecting you current mood.Instead of opening those console friendly little squares it could open proper building/skill tree where you could see what you have in future.For example as new Rome player I would want to try ranged units besides javelins. ![]() How in game I found out what I need to build to get slingers or archers?. Well in my campaign (Sparta) I focused on Infantry training bonus only + morale boosts. It worked out great so far. Download game pamali pc full version. I ignored any workshops to be honest. I guess you could split everything up even more and dedicate your military provinces to specific types of units (archers, infantry, cavalry). It is possible in my opinion to go even more hardcore with the following scenario:. Outsourcing the complete food chain to other provinces. 4 Military buildings in capitol. 6 Temple buildings (If you have 3 minor settlements)Using the temple with the most happiness and the temple of war you can create some ruthless war machines. Opening Moves - RomeBy EnemyofJupitorThis is an Opening Moves article for Rome on VH mode. It'll detail the first 5 turns, and provide guidelines up to around turn 10. Some things will start to differ in your play through- the identity of the conqueror of Epirus for one, or where Etruscan armies will scatter to after you take their settlements- but these opening turns should follow the same rough track. Should you wish to get started on attacking Carthage before heading to Cisalpine, then the guide should hold true for the first 5 turns, as well as various building and technology instructions later on.This guide has been written and tested on Very Hard difficulty and under Patch 3 conditions, but will be updated upon patch releases.Comments? Visit the thread in the. Also, apologies for the small images at present- when we get a gallery working this shall be fixed. In the mean time, all images are HTML thumbs- click to enlarge.Before startingThe objective is to gain the rest of the province Italia within the first 5 turns or so, followed by working on Cisalpine Gaul in the medium term. For the purposes of this guide, I shall refer to the two armies present at the start of the game by their originally-given Legion numbers. Legio II starts near Roma, and will be used to attack Vetathri. Legio I will (force) march north into Italia in order to recruit some Hastati and make for Ariminum, before being used to tidy up any pesky Etruscans still in the area.Epirus will be too tied up in a war against Sparta (and 9/10 times Athens too) to take advantage of the relatively light forces guarding Magna Graecia. Likewise, keeping Syracuse sweet with trade will prevent it from expanding in your direction, and Carthage will not be able to get its act together in time to seriously threaten the boot of Italy.Your main threat will be rouge Etrsucan armies striking at lightly defended cities in Italia- to combat this a Legio III will eventually be formed near Rome. It should be lead by a Triarii general- far better for getting into combat than the more supportive mounted General.Technology-wise- at lower difficulties Hastati are currently very powerful, at least compared to what you'll be facing in the first 20 turns, and so military technologies aren't really needed at present. At very hard, you'll find that they're a closer match but will ultimately triumph against Italian Spearmen, your primary adversaries in the first 5 turns. It's much better to go for economic early techs so that you can get some more income. I also played around with the tax slider but decided not moving it was probably best.Trade routes are quite hard to get without some serious cash, but the Illyrian tribes such as the Ardiaei will sign non-aggression pacts fairly quickly that can then develop into trading relationships. If you're not looking to expand across the Adriatic, then this perhaps should be the route to take.A nice side note- the live update on expected profit for next turn is back! Go to the finance scroll and on to 'summery'- the profits section there takes into account your building and recruitment. Use this to not wreck your treasury.I've also not got any notes about dealing with internal faction politics. That is a long term concern, and this is more to do with the first 10 turns- if you've managed to provoke the civil war before then you're onto something special.Turn 1 Military. Legio I towards the Northern Border with Ariminium on forced march stance. Disband Levees. Legio II - Disband Levees, move to Rome's northern border with Velathri, and recruit 2x Hastati. Fleet I - move west towards Corsica and Alalia. Make sure you have just over half your movement points left, and change stance to patrol. This will combat piracy and increase Neapolis' income. Spy- North, find Etruscan army, then sabotage a building in the Etruscan settlement. She has a trait that makes her very good at burning things, so take advantage of this to gain easy experience.Diplomacy and Technology. Non aggression Pacts with the Ardiaei and Athens. If nations don't accept a diplomatic deal during the turn I first mention, they might in subsequent turns.

Sonic's universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force. Sonic Generations™. Sonic Boom™ Nintendo 3DS™, Wii U™. Rome Total War 2 BuildingsKeep trying!. Research Land Management for reasons I went into above.Building. Expand Rome, make a forum. We're going to use this building chain to keep Italia happy as we expand our industry in the area.Turn 2Military. Before you move the Legio I, change its stance to neutral. This turn you want to move it as close as possible to the front line but also recruit some more men, as it's only 1 hastati and 1 velites. Recruit 3x hastati. Sonic vs shadow scene creator. RGR offers games of every genre including RPG, Platform, Arcade, Sports, Puzzle, Strategy, Simulation, Board, Card, Multiplayer, etc. Move the spy to Ariminum and engage in sabotage there, too. She should hopefully hit or be near rank 2 by now. Legio II - It's time for your first battle of the campaign. Attack Velathri, where the Etruscans have most likely retreated to- the Hastati should carry you through the battle, but run a unit of Velites around another side street to draw off some spearmen from the main meatgrinder and inflict damage. Congratulations- Rome wasn't built in a day, but that's because we weren't organising the job. During end turn, watch for the Etruscan turn- they may have one or two-unit armies that may escape from Ariminum before the Legio I appears. Keep an eye on them- you will have to recruit a general to deal with them later.Diplomacy and Technology. NoneBuilding. In one of Magna Graecia - Expand and build Forum. This chain will be developed along more economic lines. Don't worry about public order effects from taking Velathri- despite what the tool tip makes out, you will not have a rebellion in 3 turns (it only takes into account 'at current rate', which is skewed)Turn 3Military. The spy may either poison wells or sabotage in Ariminum. By now the Legio I should have enough men to assault the lightly defended Ariminum. Go for it- approach from the more open south, and close the gap quickly so missiles don't wear you down. Legio II should now look to sail west- the final Etruscan town on Corsica is your target. Get them to the beach West of Velathria and get on the boats.Diplomacy and Technology. Land Management is now complete. Go for Tax Labour. The Ardiaei should now accept that trade agreement for about 1000.Building. Ariminum may have a spare construction slot, as you might have assaulted during a turn the Etruscans were building something. Build a villa this turn before it fills with slums. Build a villa in Cosentia, too. Get that food rolling in.You now have your very first province! You can now issue an edict- Bread and Circuses will help on the long slow process to restoring public order. This is crucial, as a happy populace will give you more money.Your Imperium has also increased, enabling you to maintain more armies and agents- useful in hunting down small armies that would otherwise pull your Legio I and II away from the front line. Finally, secure the position of Tribune if possible for your general- it decreases the upkeep of his army by 5%.Turn 4 Military. The Legio II should be at sea heading for Alalia on Corsica- should should be able to disembark due north of the city- that's good enough! Take your fleet off patrol duty, and blockade the Etruscans. Then, assault. Use your raiding ships to pelt the enemy with javalins from the safety of the sea whilst your land forces hug the coast for support. When battle is joined, beach your assault legionaries ship and have them flank the Italians. The city should fall easily. In the collapse of their ancient civilisation, the Etruscans could have some forces scattered about- a navy from Arminium is quite common, and may blockade Brundisum, but an Etruscan army or two may also be on the prowl in Italy itself. Should you see one of these armies eluding the Legio I and II, recruit the Legio III in Rome/Neapolis (whichever is closer), and have its general unit of Triarii. This general will hunt down the last remnants of the Etruscans before later embarking for Corsica. Recruit a unit of hastati should you need it, but for now the Triarii and city garrisons should be enough to repel any pesky assault on your city. I will not specify where exactly to move the Legio III during its mop up operations- it seems to differ between campaigns. However, clever use of javalins in town garrisons are the way to go. Legio I should by now have replenished its losses. If there are not any Etruscans that require attention, march towards Genua and recruit another Hastati. They are going to strike at the Liguria before they have a chance to build up. Ahead of them, the spy should move towards Genua so that the Legio I are not marching blind.Diplomacy and Technology. ![]() A non-aggression pact with Delmatae can be gained. They will also do Trade Rights for 400 if pushed.Building. Build a Roman Village in Neopolis.Turn 5Military. The Legio III should continue its mop up operation. Unless any threats are around, move them to Neapolis- make sure you now have or are recruiting that hastati unit into the army. The Legio II shall once more embark on its transport ships, bound for Velathri's border with Genua and the Ligurians. The Legio I will keep marching towards Genua. Do not declare war yet.Diplomacy and Technology. Tax labour is now complete. It is now time to go for Supply reforms- we want those Triarii!Building. Build a herding ground in Cosentia.(Ignore the position of the Legio III- they should be in Neopolis). Build a temple of Mercury in Neapolis. This will again help your public order problems (enabling you later to build squalor-inducing buildings elsewhere) and increase the amount of money you get from all buildings within the province.Congratulations. In the space of 5 turns you have secured Italia, wiped out the last Etruscan town, and are building up a healthy economy. But where next? Well, Alalia isn't happy, and Cisalpine beckons. March on!Turns 6 and 7Military. The Legio III will embark on ships and move to Alalia- they will be policing the settlement and putting down any rebellion with the help of the local navy and garrison. Legio I and II will march to Genua. There is a chance that the Insurbres will be sieging the settlement- seeing as they're next on your shopping list if the siege persists you should consider attacking the Insurbres and beat them off to allow you to overwhelm the small garrison with two legions. Make sure you have all the hastati you need before doing so- these barbarians will put up more a fight than the Etruscans, especially their slingers- close them down or use buildings as cover in assaults.Diplomacy and Technology. As said before, if any of the Illyrian tribes have been holding out against you, continue to try and gain trade rights from them. Athens is a very sticky customer, but if you have a desperate need to trade with them, they will do so for a payment in the excess of 1000. It isn't quite worth it yet in my opinion unless they go on to take over all of Greece.Building. Build a harbour in Ariminum. Again, this will increase your income, and enable you to recruit some better ships, too. On that note, using the 'Patrol' stance in navies reduces piracy in a sea control zone- identify which settlements make the most out of sea trade and recruit a navy to patrol in that area.Turns 8, 9 and 10Military. It is harder to divine what happens from here, but one thing that is certain is that you will face a rebellion from Alalia. Put it down before it gathers strength, rinse, repeat. The Insurbres will have the remains of their army hanging around near Genua. Ignore it, and head straight for their capital, Medhlan with a legion, leaving the other to box in the barbarians so they cannot relieve it or attack Genua (as well as being on the lookout for rebellion). This city is more formidable than anything you've faced so far, and you'll be tempted to make ladders. However, decimating the Insurbres army in Cisalpine and having their only city under siege may trigger them to seek a confederation with some of their northern neighbors, ending your siege just as that final ladder is built. Avoid this happening- assault immediately by burning down the gates with your infantry. If it is a particularly buggy battle, autoresolving usually yields a satisfactory result. Be aware of barbarian tribes from the north attacking in later turns.Diplomacy and Technology. Research Manipular Organisation- you're going to need these troops to take the rest of Cisalpine. Massalia desperately needs help. It will by now readily agree to non-aggression pacts, trade, and after a few turns potentially a Client State agreement. Do as you see fit with this. Across the water, non-aggression pacts and other diplomatic overtures should be sent off to the victors of the inevitable Epirus-Sparta-Athens conflict in order to stave off a seaborne invasion.Building. Genua will be very unhappy at being taken over, and will rebel within a couple of turns. You should look to convert some buildings over to being Roman, but prioritise demolishing one slot and building Hallowed Ground instead- this will enable you to start the conversion of the province to Latin and regain control. A Patrician will also help in this area. The Legio I will be fighting rebels for the next few turns- it is tempting to leave them alone when they spawn, however, as the province gains a +20 Public Order bonus that is greater than squashing them with your military. Be aware, however, that some of the other Cisalpine tribes may trespass and squash your rebels for you instead. In Alalia build a shrine of some kind to aid in public order- I favour Minerva to speed up technology. Build a Manipular Barracks in Rome as soon as technology allows. Finally, you're going to get the heavier infantry, and you'll need it against the Veneti, who usually have a sizable force by now. An amphitheatre built in the forum will also increase public order- useful when you start reaching squalor-inducing buildings. Further south in Brundisium a Field of Mars should be built to enable you to (finally) recruit hastati there and defend the province from attack. It took me until turn ten to achieve the population growth needed- the below screenshot comes from turn 9.And beyond.Unless you are unfortunate with a confederation forming, you should have two thirds of Cisalpine in your grasp, along with some hardened men at your back. Rebellion will happen frequently until you manage to make Latin the dominant culture- do your best with it, build happiness-inducing buildings and soldier through. If you were unlucky and had the Celtic Confederation appear, I would suggest against immediately waging war and instead prepare for a long conflict- the Confederation is able to replenish its forces quite rapidly, and will call in a couple of tribal allies.At some stage, you will want to move your Legions back to Italia in order to recruit some Princepes and Triarii, perhaps before confronting the Celtic Confederation, or attacking the Veneti. The latter will have a sizable army- do not underestimate. Finish them off to gain your second province.It is now up to you to go from here- march into Gaul? The historical objectives encourage you to declare war on the latter, but it is up to you- leave them for a more suitable conflict, or nip them in the bud so they do not have to be dealt with later. The choice is yours.Comments? Visit the thread in the. In Rome 2, Provinces are areas on the map that contain between 2-4 settlements. One of these settlements is the provincinal capital and it is bigger in size, has walls for defence, can have more buildings built within them, and can include some building options that the minor settlements cannot have.No matter which settlement you select in a province, the same interface will show.This is because all of the settlements' building options are shown in that interface and the settlements also share public order, growth and income. They also share the buildings too, so their location doesn't matter to contribute to the province.Try to think of it being the PROVINCE growth and PROVINCE public order etc. Not SETTLEMENT growth and SETTLEMENT public order as the values are not unique to SETTLEMENTS, but they are unique to the PROVINCES.If other factions share a province with you, their settlements will have different public order, growth and income values than yours.If you control all of the setlements within a province, you may pass an edict which gives bonuses to that province, such as increased tax rate, or food. In Rome 2, public order is very important as if it is too low, the public may revolt. This means that you will lose settlements to angry mobs of plebs.Public order ranges from -100 to +100 and each province will gain or lose public order per turn due to certain factors. Growth in Rome 2 is also very important because higher growth means more people, which means more money from tax, and it also means you can expand your settlements to build more buildings, which is a good thing.Similarly to public order, growth is affected by several factors. Some of these can include:-Buildings-Technologies-Food SurplusAnd as you can see, buildings are mutual to growth and public order which shows how vital it is to manage them properly. Buildings will be explained in more detail later on.Food is important for growth and it can be obtained by building farms. The food surplus is for the whole faction, not for just the province. This means you can have provinces that have no farms but you will have to provide for that province elsewhere.Food surplus also affects how quickly units replenish so it is a good idea to be producing as much food as possible. But be careful because some buildings take food such as settlement upgrades. There are several types of military buildings which you may decide to use when playing Rome 2.For unit training buildings, you will have a basic training building which can expand following several other training buildings which vary from one another. This basic trining building will provide you little unit selection but it is the gateway to building more military buildings. Factions have a choice of 2-3 routes to take from the basic building.The primary barracks will be where most of your faction specific units will be trained. All factions will have a primary barracks but you will have to figure out which is the primary one on your own, however it is usually the one that costs more.The secondary barracks is different as some factions have different types. Most of the time, a seconday barracks will build most of your factions' missile units and will also give several bonuses. However other factions such as Rome have a barracks where the recruitment depends on where the barracks is located as they train auxilliary units.See how recruitment is different in these two provinces.Some factions have a third building, usually dedicated for cavalry. This means they have a barracks for each type of unit, infantry, missile and cavalry. All factions have military training buildings which similarly start with a basic building and then split off into different buildings which specialise in different effects. It is recommended to have your recruitment buildings and training buildings in the same province for elite units right from the barracks. These training buildings provide several bonuses to your unitsThe build chain for most factions splits off into 4 where they focus on different unit types. You can read the tool tips for each faction's buildings in game to save me writing them all down as different factions vary. Taxing your populance is a way of getting income. It directly affects public order and you have to tax all provinces the same amount unless you exempt the province from tax.Exempting a province from tax means that the settlements in that province need not pay any tax at all. Rome 2 Emperor Edition Building GuideThis is a good way to manage public order especially if there is no other way but to decrease taxes to all of your other provinces instead.When tax is increased above normal, growth will start to decrease (there is no affect of growth until then) so it is not reccomended to have tax higher than normal for long as it is negatively affecting you in the long term.Taxes will also be reduced because of corruption. Corruption increases as your empire gets larger and it is a factor which is difficult to control. It doesn't really make too much of a difference but some characters and tedhnologies can help to reduce corruption so you can get more money.
