Rome total war 2 unit guide

broken image

These are like bulldozers, smashing everything in their path. Typical horse archer unit, barely armoured, relying on swiftness and hit-and-run tactics. One of the best general units there is, matched by the Roman General. Camels are scary (for horses, that is), plus armoured as tanks. Really wierd mix, but seems to yield results. Rock and roll baby! The best cavalry unit there is, matched perhaps only by other Cataphracts and roman Praetorian Cavalry. However I massacred 3700 of them with Cataphracts, losing only about 20 people - so you have to rely on the cavalry. But these two are the only infantry available to this faction! So you must learn to combine them both in an army to achieve maximum efficiency. Low-class infantry however, cheap and okay for the start of the game. However, it's useful if you want to 'transfer population' from one settlement to another (Show me How).
