ROMETW http://rometw.120host.net Your number one Rome Total War resource Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:09:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.0 en Credits http://rometw.120host.net/2006/10/27/credits/ http://rometw.120host.net/2006/10/27/credits/#comments Fri, 27 Oct 2006 20:01:18 +0000 rometw solution http://rometw.120host.net/2006/10/27/credits/ Unlike Oscar night speeches I shall try to make this short and relevant. I also promise not to cry and thank my non-existent pet cat.

Keeping a list of individual credits for all those handy titbits I have collected on the org and official forums has proven to be nigh on impossible, as well as very time consuming. If I credit every single person who has said even one line of vaguely helpful text I will have literally pages of credits and it will take me longer to write than the economy section! Instead I shall just say my grateful thanks to the communities of both those forums for playing, posting and researching.

A second general thanks goes to all those who have answered my questions; again it’s quite a long list and I am sure people would rather I spent time writing the guide rather than the credits. Thank you all for your help.

A respectful bow to those who made this guide possible, namely CA for making the game, and TosaInu for the usual help battering the forum into cooperating with this massive document and for arranging the picture hosting space.

Finally specific, named credits for people I have directly quoted or who have done something which is actually here in the guide in raw form.
Duke John for my nice, snazzy title.
Ebannon for providing the ancillary and Vices and Virtues lists.
Epistolary Richard for the unrest map.
Maltz for a few handy quotable bits and pieces.
Sinner for the kind loan of his temple guide.
Steppe Merc for the brief quoted guide on modding playable units.
Suladan for providing the mercenary list.
Tamur for the kind loan of his diplomacy guide.
therother for a bundle of miscellaneous aids, including a few tables and quotes I have included.

The lava flows kill any agents nearby, as well as causing heavy casualties to any nearby army.

To set a rally point for newly constructed units on the campaign map, select a settlement with left click, then hold alt and click on the place you want the troops to gather.

Mods
I am not going to list and advertise mods here, however I will note a few unofficial patches. These do not attempt to alter the game, but to fix errors and bugs in the vanilla game, just like an official patch. I shall clearly state that not a single one of these patches is official or linked with CA. Use them at your own risk. I cannot provide support or advice on any of them; they are not my work and nothing to do with me.

In BI it is possible to fight night battles if your general, or the one leading the army attacking you, has the relevant trait. This trait is quite hard to gain: you need a general with the level 3 general ability (the one which gives 3 command stars), or your general needs to be attacked by someone who does have the trait and then win the battle with a good result. A common mistake is thinking that three command stars total gives the ability; it does not. The three stars must come from the basic general trait, and so it must reach level 3.

All armies not led by someone with the night battle trait (except for the one being attacked) cannot take part in the battle, so it is possible to isolate and destroy one army without needing to fight others at the same time.

Command stars
In BI command stars are far harder to gain, which is a very good thing in my opinion. Now most command increases come from the more specialised traits (such as good attacker, infantry commander of worth, etc), titles (Roman factions only), or retinue members. This is why night battles are so rare – it’s very hard to get someone up to the necessary level for the night battle trait to be awarded. So if your generals are no longer 8 star supermen, don’t worry. But you might want to pay more attention to shuffling battle related retinue members (and titles!) around from very old generals to younger ones.

To stand the most chance of gaining stars in the ‘good commander’ family (the basic, baseline general trait which eventually gives the night battle ability) you should fight a normal field battle (not a night attack, or a siege, or an ambush) with your army’s numbers equal to or smaller than your enemies. No longer will you win points for crushing rebels with a far larger, better equipped force

Hordes
There is quite a bit on hordes in the manual, so I suggest you read it.

Certain barbarian factions can turn into hordes, either automatically when their last settlement is captured, or on the player’s command (when you only have one settlement open up your settlement details screen. There should be a little wagon/hut/thing icon which is not normally there. Click it to go into horde mode.). On entering horde mode all existing units stop charging upkeep, excerpt mercenaries. Extra units are generated, the numbers of which are dependant on the population of that last city; more people in the city means more people for your horde. Generally at least several full stacks will be generated, often more. Factions in horde mode have a little wheel on their faction banner.

Because all the faction victory requirements specify the holding of provinces, factions in horde mode cannot win the game. They must settle down.

Hordes have different options after attacking a city. They are offered a choice between settling or sacking the city. Settling will take the city as yours, putting you back into normal faction mode; sacking is like extermination but with more death and loot, plus the destruction of buildings.

When you choose to settle a city you will begin paying upkeep for all your units as per normal rules! You can bankrupt yourself easily this way if you are not careful. There are several main options.
-You can build up a very large treasury via looting, and hope you gain more income before you run out.
-You can take a very lucrative province and hope that the income will be enough.
-You can use up most of your ‘free’ horde units in battles and city attacks to weaken your enemies while padding your treasury and gaining experience for your generals and core troops. This requires great care, because if your horde gets too weak you will find it very difficult to capture a new home, and may even be destroyed.
-You can arrange matters so you have armies in place to capture several cities in one turn, settling the lot of them. This, combined with a treasury built up from sacking, is probably the best way to go.

When you settle a city you lose 1/3 of your total horde units. This means you lose fewer men for each successive city, but all the combined losses from battle and settling mean you will probably only get about 3 cities before you run out of horde units. There is no way to choose which men you lose; you could end up losing a good unit and keeping peasants, or vice versa.

Horde units are randomly generated. They contain the word ‘horde’ in their name, and tend to be slightly weaker versions of normal units. Most horde units are of the low level variety, or even peasants. Turning into a horde might give you numbers, but it does not give you an invincible army.

Going into horde mode is a viable, even powerful strategy for the factions which start with just one settlement. Image: a huge army, no need to defend or build up a home, no upkeep to pay, and the chance to bust up your neighbours to your vast gain. If you don’t like your starting location, then you can move on to somewhere you do, perhaps to face enemies you find more interesting, to take better lands, or to occupy a more defensible position.

The factions capable of turning into a horde are: Franks, Goths, Huns, Sarmatians, Vandals, Burgundii, Lombardi, Ostrogoths, Roxolani, and Slavs.

The Romano-British.
The Romano-British will emerge when both Eboracum and Londinium are taken from the Western Roman Empire. It does not matter who captures them, even if one province is controlled by one faction and the other by another. I have heard that the faction can also emerge if either of those two provinces rebels from the WRE.

Tech trees and maps
No version of BI came with a printed tech tree or map. I don’t know of any available online either. You can find a faction’s tech tree in-game by opening the city screen, going to the buildings page, and clicking on the little icon with the compass and set square. This was mentioned earlier but it bears repeating given the add-on package’s lacks.

Changing my name
In BI you can change the names of settlements. It’s a rather hidden option, not included in the manual. Open up the city screen, click on the city’s name, hit backspace, type the name you prefer, then exit the screen. The city should now be renamed.

Legendary weapons and religious relics
They appear in a character’s retinue listing. Once lost they cannot be regained, unlike titles. There are not many of them, and they are very rare; relics seem to be easier to find than weapons. If you want to find out what items are available and what triggers them, check your export_descry_ancillaries file in activions/rtw/bi/data. The assorted titles are contained in the same file.

End date
The BI campaign ends in summer 476AD.

Now you might want to try playing as one of the other factions in campaign mode; they will provide a very different experience and you will have to use everything you learned to adapt and tackle their unique challenges. You might want to try a longer campaign, if you played a short one before, or perhaps a short one if you did a long campaign. You can try ramping up the two difficulties. You could go and give multiplayer a go. You could try the BI campaign, if you have it available. Really from here on you have plenty of options.

In both of my previous Medieval: Total War guides I went into some detail on the battle side of the game; I won’t be doing the same here, at least not in such depth. You see we don’t know the combat calculations, the unit stats are only just being discovered, the bonuses are mostly hidden, and generally it is all very vague. I will pass on what I can and note a few dos and don’ts.

RTW is a more dynamic game than MTW, to me at least. It relies more on logic. I find that on normal difficulty, without any bonuses to either side as given by difficulty, that logic and historical knowledge provide plenty of basis for what really happens on the field. Of course there are some exceptions to this rule, but overall what you thin should happen does. If you think of a cavalry charge against a ragged, strung out unit you expect the cavalry to mow the infantry down. That’s what happens in RTW. If you think of a cavalry charge against a solid, well formed and disciplined infantry force you expect them to get bogged down and killed. That’s what happens in RTW. I am sure you are getting the picture now.

One very small yet oh so important note on difficulty and battle: On harder difficulties the AI gets bonuses, to the tune of an extra +7 to attack on very hard. That means that when playing on any difficulty except normal you should expect to see odd outcomes, such as cavalry riding over your phalanx as if they were not there.

Rank and file.
A quick intro in terminology for those of you not already acquainted:

 

Say hello to our happy little Roman cohort. As you can see I’ve clumsily labelled the various parts of the unit. The front and rear are obvious. The flanks go on both sides, predictably, and are also obvious if you are familiar with the word in a military context. The rank is a little less easy to point out on this diagram; it’s a row of soldiers standing side by side. For more on flanks and the rear of the unit read the next little section.

Rank is a less … concrete concept then in MTW. In MTW I could, and did, say how to optimally deploy each and every unit in all situations. In RTW rank is so different that’s not really possible. Instead I get to tell you general guidelines.

The deeper a formation is the larger its flanks become and the less ground it covers with its front. The thinner a formation is the more fragile it is. It is a balancing act, playing depth and coverage off against each other, and the needs vary quite a bit depending on what unit you are using and what is about to happen with that unit in the battle. I can offer one firm bit of advice here: using a unit in just one rank is asking for trouble; your enemy will tear right through the heart of the formation and destroy it faster than you can blink. Ok, two firm bits of advice. Some units have nice, orderly formations, such as the legionaries in the picture above. Others have looser, more ragged ones, especially barbarian units and missile units. The solid formations are more effective at resisting charges than the more disorderly ones. That out of the way it is time to go to the vaguer bits.

For infantry (not phalanx).
When facing cavalry or a strong infantry charge rank is key; four ranks is a very good depth for infantry to repel charges with. If you are facing chariots or elephants five, even six ranks can be needed to stand solidly and dispatch the charge. I would say that the absolute minimum you want to use in any situation is three ranks; I myself have settled into using four ranks almost all the time, with the exceptions being when I need to cover a lot of ground (drop to three ranks) or need to repel a very dangerous charge (increase to five or six).

For cavalry.
Depth is a little less important for cavalry, and they tend to be charging, not receiving charges. I like to use my cavalry in three ranks for smaller units, and four ranks for larger ones. This makes the formation sturdy (thinner formations collapse on impact) and gets the maximum number of men slamming into the enemy as the charge hits. Sometimes I use five ranks, generally when I need the unit to be more mobile.

For missiles
Since there is no line of sight accuracy penalty in RTW I have taken to deploying missiles in short, squat blocks about five ranks deep, sometimes more. It makes them easier to position, and this way they are a little better at pulling back on their own without human intervention if left to skirmish.

It is also good to remember that unlike MTW the advantages of a few of your men wrapping around the enemy formation are minor. In MTW this would cause the enemy unit to crumple quickly; in RTW more often than not a few men will simply turn around and start fighting on the flanks while the others fight on the front. That means there is no longer a very good reason to string your formation out to be a little longer tha
