They also get some faction specific mechanics, as well as the special "Government Actions" which also add to faction variety, as it means each gets ome kind of special ability that the others don't. Plus of course there's Rome, who are a more spear centric faction at this point (and have the unusual situation whereby your basic units from the Grand Campaign are your top Tier elites in this.) You have your classic Hellenics (Syracuse & Taras,) and Barbarians (Senones & Insubres,) but you also have Samnites, Etruscans, Italics, and the Iolei who are the only faction in Rome 2 that can literally punch someone to death with their spiked fists. Rise of the Republic factions have a surprising amount of variety, despite the narrow geographical focus. While they aren't faction specific, the addition of Cults, Banditry and Squalor/Sanitation in Empire Divided campaign also add new elements to the campaign gameplay. Even the three Roman factions play quite differently, as Aurelian Rome has the classic Roman Legionary style backed by some surprisingly good cavalry Tetricus' Gallic Rome is more a merger of Roman and Barbarian ways of fighting for a more aggressive style while Zenobia's Palmyra draws on Eastern and Hellenic styles of fighting, with for example her basic Legionaries being spear armed. The Empire Divided factions are probably closer to Grand Campaign in terms of basic mechanics, though I would say there's a fair bit of diversity to them as well. (For example Corsica is a 4 region/settlement province in Rise, rather than a single region/settlement in a province shared with Sardinia like in Grand Campaign.) While the basic geography is familiar from the Grand Campaign, because of the tighter focus the same area can be covered by a lot more regions/settlements. Rise of the Republic is on a new map of Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and a small part of North Africa. It's kind of tricky, as both offer factions and settings which are different in their own ways.Įmpire Divided is on one that's similar to those used in Grand Campaign and Imperator Augustus, though in each case the actual factions on the map and the territories they own vary due to what they were like at that point in time. I guess i mostly want one that difer from the original game a bit, as starting faction and all. Unfortunatly as for now i can only buy one of them, and they both look pretty cool. Originally posted by Da Emperor:That's what i call a descriptive answer ! Oh and the romans still haven't adopted the legionary system Your task is to either unite it again, or create a separate state - if you're playing as Zenobia or Tetricus, - or seize the opportunity and meet some goal of your own - if you're Shapur (the Sassanids) or Cannabaudes (the Goths) or something.ĭont Forget it was recently sacked by the gauls in rise of the republics timeline Originally posted by Sabhotep:Empire Divided is when the Roman Empire grew so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ large and complicated that it nearly collapsed under its own weight. I'd simply buy them both if had the money Or worse: the Celts come from the north, and these people only want to loot and pillage. Here it's a bloody village in the middle of nowhere, and all around are ancient and powerful peoples who all see Rome as a potential new town in a country of their own. This campaign is the absolute opposite of Empire Divided: Rome is here too on the brink of its destruction, but not because it's too damn large and powerful, no. This is the old Italy, the age that Ancient Romans deemed 'ancient', when Etruscans were like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aliens with all their money, tech and knowledge, and Samnites blocked expansion to the south. All playable factions here are absolutely different in their cultural background and goals. Rise of the Republic, on the other hand, is when Rome was but a bloody Etruscan/Latin/Sabine village and everyone around looked down on it. Your task is to either unite it again, or create a separate state - if you're playing as Zenobia or Tetricus, - or seize the opportunity and meet some goal of your own - if you're Shapur (the Sassanids) or Cannabaudes (the Goths) or something.
