The guide is valid as of patch 1 and will be updated if/when I discover discrepancies with the most current patch. Note: some of these things might and probably will be changed with subsequent patches. I'm playing the game on Legendary so if you are playing on an easier difficulty you might find your faction more rich or stable and thus adjust accordingly. I will illustrate what and how to do with the Roman faction (because this is Rome II: Total War, and because we must bring glory to the S.P.Q.R.!) but once you get the hang of it, you can easily transfer your knowledge to another faction with minimal adjustments based on their building and tech trees. You have played through the introduction campaign if you are a brand new player move on the campaign map, lead battles, recruit units, conduct diplomacy etc.) Then read up and feel free to experiment (and contribute) to this mini guide.įor the purposes of this guide I will assume that: Or maybe you played a lot of Shogun 2 but the changes to the food system don't make sense to you.
So you got Rome II, installed it, patched it and are ready to seek glory in the ancient world! But you're stumped - everything is different! What is going on? You haven't played since Rome 1, or Medieval 2.
