Rome Total War

[LLXerxes]

I used arcani in a custom battle. i forget what it was like

 

[storealex]

They're not so good in campaign games, like other units which take two turns to create. I'd rather have two Cohorts of Legionnaires, than one Urban or one Arcani.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Are you kidding? Arcani are invisible for so long if you manage them properly. I always use them in campaign games to sneak close to the enemy and hit them hard right after my archers have softened their defenses. Just awesome unit!

 

[storealex]

But wouldn't two units of legionnaires to you better? They're also easier to replenish. If flanking is what you want, build Legionnary Cavalry. Because of the stupid AI, they'll ride around the enemy flanks with ease, and once they charge they're even more deadly than Arcani are.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Probably, but it's more fun and sneaky to do it with the "ninjas".

 

[Shabbaman]

I like the game, but unfortunately it crashes a lot. I'm getting another fan to look if it's an overheating problem.

If I didn't like MTW, will I like RTW?

 

[LLXerxes]

If I didn't like MTW, will I like RTW?

probably. I dunno, never trying MTW before...

 

[WickedSmurf]

Anyone here use the assassin-agent? I trained one once, sent him on 10-15 missions, he failed all but was never caught. Finally he failed, got caught and executed. Was I just that unlucky or are they generally worthless?

 

[Thrawn]

You were just unlucky. I had one with it's skill up at around 10 or so, 2 or 3 others down areoun 4-5.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Aight gonna train some more of them and give it a try!

 

[Shabbaman]

Try sending them on missions with a high success rate (like, rebel captains) first, so they gain some experience.

I went out to get Call of Duty today, and came back with RTW.

Played a two of the tutorial missions, so far the game looks great.

unlucky. Send them to kill diplomats and destroy re3bel buildings.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]
