whats your fav special unit
mine is arcani :hide:
:bump:
I like Velite gladiators, chanting units, Hounds of Cullain, RTW German berserkers, Arcani/Pravetorenes are great too.
Pravetorenes
what are they
...
Can you not get the edit button to click? If you can't hold you cursor over edit right click and pick open link. I have to do this because for some reason I can't click to open it.
Any how, Pravetorenes are from BI's Arcani but have sword/shield and a kick ass hooded cloak. They are a WRE unit.
Praevatores are a slightly bigger unit of arcani, and look better too imh.
But they are indeed the counter part of the Arcani seen in 1,2
:balloon2:
ok 1. what is WRE
2. what u mean 1,2
3. does BI mean bruti
1. Western Roman Empire, a BI faction (see 3)
2. The previous RTW patch.
3. BI stands for Barbarian Invasion, the expansion pack for Rome.
can you get patches for rtw non expansion on this web site

Hounds of Culann, tear through any infantry unit like it was butter.
Sassinad Immortals, tear through any unit like it was butter, plus you get a free general
Velite gladiators roxors my soxxors ~:cool:
taking on 400 enemy alone without taking a loss, being my main wall stormers i luv'em ~:)
i love lombard berserkers. lol
Clibanarii Immortals for me. What don't they do.
Other than go fast... ~:rolleyes:
Well I just had 2 units of Wardogs see off 9 stacks of Britania Warbands and Swordsmen :P
Excellent v lightly armoured enemies like Warbands - When assaulting Gaul. Germania, Britannia - never waste good soldiers. These Wardog Breeders get the numbers up fast again without the need to retrain. So cost effective and saves population use for peasant Garrisons...just use 1 inf unit for sieging, have some cav backup (General so no need to retrain again)...actually they are better at seiges as they dont just chase down 1 enemy - they got to the centre of town and kill all :P
i like iberian infantry, but i dont think they considered special ~D
my favorite is the SPARTAN but i think TotalWar should have made them look cooler, i mean come on, where are the tight ass spartan helmets!!!! lol
how do u get the arcani or prav*** in bi
hello, does anyone know
I think you need to be the WRE and have a 3rd or 4th tier barracks toi get praves in BI, you should be able to get Arcani in the usual way.
I haven't played a Roman faction in BI yet, well not for long anyways. But... can you still get Arcani? They kind of blew monkey chunks apart from the fear factor. If I remember right, they weren't armour piercing and as the game went on, became more and more obsolete.
If they exist in BI I guess they are even more obsolete even earlier.
You can get Praventori (sp?) as the WRE, I have an Urban Barracks as the ERE and can't get them so I think you can only get them as the WRE. They are basically Arcani but with a sword and shield.
Its easy to see what units an army is capable of producing
Just go to custom battle and select all the factions you want to view - bearing in mind that the green units are mercs and not producable in campaign mode
Clibinarii Immortals, Hounds of Culann, and maybe some Armoured War Elephants.... ~D
Clib immortals really rock! I haven't found yet a unit as versatile and devastating. They can take out a half stack army on their own and seem to get exp points easily.
