#TOTAL WAR ROME 2 ROME UNITS SERIES#

There are some other units available like siege units, but the campaign win conditions seem to be met before I can ever research and unlock them. If you are looking for a large unit roster and you have selected the Spartans as your faction, bad news bearвЂ™s my friend as the Spartans have around 6 ground units to choose from вЂ“ light and heavy spear troops, short and long range ranged units and light and heavy cavalry. If you wish to train a strong unit, like a battalion of Royal Spartans, a whole four turns are required before they will be ready to set loose on your enemies in the spring time. No longer will training units take only one turn, in fact the quickest you can train a unit in Wrath of Sparta is two turns. So what do you do in those four months of reduced wealth and movement speed? Why you do what any good spartan does, you train armies of course! This brings us to one of the other changes in Wrath of Sparta, build queues. So much like the clever squirrel in those childhood stories, it pays to store your food and money for those cold harsh winter months. Much like the replenishment rate in winter, your factions income will take a dive in these winter months as the fields canвЂ™t be worked and the oceans are too rough to trade in.

Waging war in winter will reduce your troops morale, army replenishment rate, as well as the amount of distance that they can cover to put your enemies to the sword. Charging into a line of phalanx troops? Make sure you have your floppy hat equipped! The additional turns have flow on effects on all things military and financial. As well as the revised world map, the game also progresses a lot slower, with four turns for every season instead of the single turn. With the cut-down world map, the areas of land that were previously uninhabited now have new outlying towns, provincial capitals and of course a whole new set of factions to kick down wells. Wrath of Sparta nowВ focuses on the area around the greek islands and skirts the Persian empire, because what good is a game about the Spartans without the Persian empire being right dicks about things. No longer will you have the entire world to bring to heel, as in the vanilla Rome 2 campaign.

The first thing you will notice about the Wrath of Sparta campaign is the revised world map. Following on from the previous вЂњImperator AugustusвЂќ campaign which focused on the Roman Empire, вЂњWrath of SpartaвЂќ gives the much loved warrior nation a chance to kick some foreign dignitaries down a pit.

The latest refinement brings us to the latest addition to the series of Grand Campaigns DLCвЂ™s, this time focused on the might of the Spartan Empire around the time of the Peloponnesian War, or for those of you whose ancient Greek history is a bit rough, the time when the Spartans gave the middle finger to the Athenians. Funny what an additional year of refinement can doвЂ¦ As such the Rome 2 we have in 2015 is quite the fantastic little nugget of RTS.

However since its launch in September 2013, the team at Creative Assembly has pulled out all the stops to make everything that was wrong, right. Plagued by horrid load times, terrible battle AI and many other issues, it was a pretty lacklustre addition to the series. There is no denying that Total War: Rome 2 (which we will now refer to as Rome 2) had a pretty rough start in its life as a Total War game.
