no
difficulty is balanced based on how much you cheat

Bump for interest.

shitter

TOTAL WW LATOT
ATTITTA

its okay pretty much the same as all the new total war games, way too much to rome 2 to be worth buying though

Best historical TW.

Better than Rome 2 and the new shit 3K.

Unironically Western Roman Empire is the best Total War campaign ever created. You reach the point of becoming invincible very late game and even then, the campaign is about to end anyways.

this is the main reason i'm thinking about it. how much of the difficulty is actual management problems vs fending off the ai's cheated doomstacks?

WRE is very hard to manage in that game unless you follow specific strategy (give up the far-reach provinces, destroy Church, restore ancient roman pagan religion).

ERE is the easy mode though because money.

I say the most interesting faction are the Huns and the germanic tribes.

Both in equal measure, a little bit more to settlement management when climate change happens

Is this the TW game with the most varying opinions?

Nah, that'll be Rome 2.

Autoresolve simulator, though less than Rome 2
Battles are worse than Shogun 2, Medieval 2, and Rome 1
Horde mechanics are cool
Razing shit is cool

Also the AI cheats a lot, but that’s par for the course for TW games
Has the best unit in any total war though, Spet Xyon Archers,
Melts everything

RAAR
ALILA

yeah its pretty good

Yes, but it's the most unlike Total War in the entire franchise. You could almost say it's a survival game because you're less painting the map and more trying to survive the Huns.

I liked it. Alliances actually worked, too. I bought the Total Warhammer shit and was bored by it in comparison.

Why do people always meme that the WRE is "so hard" when you have really good garrisons, loads of towns to lose and excellent troops for defensive warfare.

That's because
>economy's fucked
>more settlement lost =more public order penalty
>lack of axe infantry
>surrounded by enemies but not as bad as ERE
>Europe is more affected by climate than the east
>Huns will despise your ass and peace is most of the time non-negotiable
>1 patriarchal seat compared to ERE
>no pike infantry
>inferior cav compared to ERE
The redeeming value is that WRE settlements are more defensible than ERE and there are less frontiers

>really good garrisons
Lol
> excellent troops for defensive warfare.
LOL
WRE has the weakest roster in the game

got this with the WRE. Wouldn't say they are the best faction, but once you get familiar with how easy it is to defend towns they become super easy.
You are the only faction with the luxury of building super cheap garrison encampments in small towns. Legio/cohors form an excellent anvil and have good ranged weapons to boot. Just rush the research to upgrade them, takes like 10 turns or something.

Economy is easy to fix. You want 2-3 provinces with all your economic buildings and have spies in them, they counter corruption.
Settlements don't have to be lost.
You basically have 3 fronts to fight on. The long germanic line, africa and brittain. You want 4-6 smaller defensive legions you place in towns where they will attack.
Climate is no big deal. Just build sheep pens.
Huns don't show up for a long fucking time. When they do, you should have loads of large onagers ready for them.
Lategame cav is a meme. Stats on cav barely fucking matters when even horse archers are good enough to slam into the ass of your enemy's lines to make them rout.

>destroy Church, restore ancient roman pagan religion
Didn’t know that religion had an impact in TW games

Because you have last stand battles for your cities every turn which gets old quickly.

only after the first 10-20 turns depending on your skill. After that its time for some PUNITIVE EXPEDITIONS

Churches cost money to be mentained and Christian factions have a morale penalty when facing the Huns. You get a 7K gold income per turn bonus for just demolishing them

Oh shit, guess I’m going to sin now

praise jupiter

Attila, Empire, Rome 2, and Shogun 2 are the ones where it matters

Also, forgot to add, Latin Christianity is a piece of shit. Greek Christianity is one of the better religions in the game

I liked it. Some mods, like the 1212ad, are great
