In a series called Total War, violence will come sooner or later, so it should be on the player’s terms. The Roman Empire did not become as large as it did through peaceful means. Managing settlements is important, but so is fighting and winning battles. It’s important to train up their successors before that happens. Be sure to plan ahead because generals get old and die, provided they don’t die in battle first. They could even be decent in managing settlements in addition to their military prowess. Besides, experienced generals have more bodyguards and better traits which can make the pre-battle speeches more exciting. An experienced general can win against an inexperienced one even when the odds are not in his favor. The better he is at command (indicated by the stars), the more effective he makes the army in battle overall. ![]() One of the most important aspects of any army is the general. Remember, all is fair in love and war, and the game is not called Total Love. Yes, civil war is inevitable, so best to be prepared. As history suggests, that was not done peacefully. To achieve victory, the player needs to become the supreme ruler of Rome and control 50 provinces. One Senate mission is worth ignoring, but that happens much later and begins the final act of the campaign. Be careful about failing Senate missions too often though, because the Senate won’t like it, and the player becomes less popular with them. Sometimes it’s better to ignore the missions if it won’t be immediately advantageous or puts the player into a war that they aren’t prepared for. Generally, it is worth it to complete Senate missions in the beginning. The Senate will give the player missions to conquer these settlements, with a reward if they do. ![]() They serve as the introductory weak faction so the player can become familiar with the game. When the campaign begins, the Brutii are already at war with rebels. The Brutii begin in southern Italy, and they will begin conquering eastward towards Greece, Macedon, and beyond. Each of the playable Roman factions has its own starting location and suggested direction to begin conquering. To obtain campaign victory in the normal campaign, the player needs to control 50 provinces, either directly or through vassals.
