Coming Back to RTW

[Bartholemew-Varath]

Im coming back to RTW, i was wondering if there were any campaigns (that you can think of yourself) that you might suggest i try to get myself into RTW again. I havent played RTW yet, im waiting around for something to spike my interest.

Also in the faction wise option, i would prefur something heavy and barbaric, with lots of opportunity for Expansion, trade and Total War!

If you want Barbaric you're out of luck. You have to first beet one of the roman campaigns that they give you then they give you the other factions playable on the game. Although there are mods that let you play as all factions.

No, you don't have to play Romans first to be able to play for Barbarians. And you don't need any mod to solve this problem.

All you have to do is simple editing a certain file. VERY simple. If you're interested, ask.

Try Germania, they'd fit into heavy and barbaric perfectly. They've got crazy infantry plus shocking cavalry and melee archers. But their trade is a bit lacking...

[anelious phyros]

Germans are pretty funny with all there shock infantry, but I liked the gauls for they're location. They start out right infront of the progressing Romans. One time I took over all of the Italian Peninsula and Sicily. It was really fun destroying the Romans.

[Bartholemew-Varath]

Now that that has been cleared up, i also think i would like something a distance from the romans, but still barbaric, although im not really really bothered about this part. It just has to be heavy and warlike.

p.s Im not new here, i have already done this ages ago, ive edited the files before, i can play with every faction apart from the Roman Senate, as i hear that faction has bugs and makes your game crash

[anelious phyros]

Well I still suggest Gaul. But Germany and Briton are pretty kick -***.
I suggest you start them do a few turns on both then decide which one you like best.

[Bartholemew-Varath]

Ive played as the Britons before, and i completely steamrolled the Gauls without advancing into Germanic territory. But the problem with this campaign was that whilst i was killing barbarians, the Romans built a load of awsome soldiers and started wiping out everything that stood in their way in the Italian Penisula, i want something near the Romans to deal with them quickly. Im not sure about the Gauls, as i dont particularly like their units, what about Dacia?
