    When available (not all factions seem to have it), I rather like Unrelenting Force for the extra movement range, which is always useful.

    Of the combat-related traditions, I tend to avoid situational traits which need particular battle types in order to be activated (ambush buffs, etc). I prefer buffs which will always be in effect. I also tend towards melee/spear infantry buffs over missile/cav traits, but of course that's playstyle-dependent.

    Always go for unrelenting force, like i said in my starting guide back in autumn. The most value you can get out of one army is if it is fast enough to get where you want it. Preferably it can hop from one settlement to the other in one turn.

    I'd consider ambushes if i am ever on the back foot, i.e. I'm a gaul or german and the Roman war machine is methodically pushing inside my home provinces. I was expecting this to happen, but it hasn't so far. Sometimes I actually miss the cheating Roman AI from R1.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
