Greek Cities Campaign Strategy, History and Role-Play - Game Guides - Rome Total War 

This is a very nice video. Thank you for the kind words. I think the best way to become an experienced player is to play blitz campaigns. Maximizing the use of your resources (money and troops) forces you to think about every decision. Even if you run into trouble, you will have learned and you will do better the next time. Also, I think you failed to mention the great archer and slinger mercenaries available to the Greeks at Rhodes or Pergamum. Maybe give them a shout out in the battle video.

If only us Cretan's were in the greek roster properly. Then they would dominate ;)

Excellent stuff! I appreciate your approach so much: you look at what the game gives us, and rather than sneering about inaccuracy, you research what the devs may have been going for, and educate us about the history along the way. Campaign mechanics, building options, strategy, history, and roleplay - this has it all. Looking forward to any other vids you do in this vein! The Britons will be an interesting choice. I like to play in line with history to an extent, so I have a hard time playing for too long as Britannia unless I can get in the headspace of being some pan-Celtic coalition that's a few hundred years out of place... but on the other hand, I'm an unapologetic chariot fan, so I'm curious to see how you'll approach them.

In Rome 2 Syracuse and Pergamum are indeed separate factions so you're likely correct that it was a technological limitation of the time more than anything else.

One of the most straightforward campaigns, 2 words: armored hoplites. the very early game can be tough, you will almost certainly lose thermon but once you start factory producing those bad bois nothing can stop you, force corner camp, bridge or settlement defense fights, noone stands a chance

It's interesting you note their resemblance to a rebel faction. Until relatively late in RTW's development, they had not planned to include a 'Greek' faction and were going to have Thrace instead, so they almost were a series of rebel cities.

Very good video about the Greek Cities. The Greeks are really good economic and military, even when the combats is repetitive and simple. Honestly always going full war against the romes and macedon because they will soon or later be a true menace to you. Macedon have Corinth with is ,by most of the total war players, the best territory in game thanks to the Zeus's Statue who give a buff to public order that will help in the late game. The Scipii and Brutii are the true menace to Syracuse and Greece. Sometimes Carthage accept do an Alliance with me and help to stop their armies from sea until I take their cities. Next time do the Britons. I love smash infantry with the chariots.

Loved the way to play sections at the end. Very interesting.

Thanks for watching and as ever, do put any suggestions for future videos in the comments. Here's a link to Old Total Warrior's Speedrun Greek Campaign. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wpf7cTi2_-0.html

Another great guide! Love the role play idea.

Love these videos! A Seleucids guide would be cool!

In melkor's video he says that or actualy is sparta

It’s absolutely hilarious to me how historically inaccurate this game is. With all the Greek cities united together and Sparta of all places being an important city. I mean at this period in time there where like two people in Sparta it was an insignificant village.

You have a great channel.

Romano British campaign guide would be welcome too! I like the content on them you already have.

Is it just me? I don't really Put Walls in Sparta Huge City and still no Wall's over 600k credits and just quit playing when I can no longer keep Law and order on conquered Cities as even Allie's Agent s Keep sabotaging and having Civil Unrest.

Wasn't the Peloponnesian League the Alliance of Greek City States at this time and Sparta was forced to join because of a major loss of military and political power?

I always play greek cities. Just repel the roman attacks and allied macedon in early then in 5 years slowly destroy roman factions then go and left the rome it self then go for Macedon Then you can slowly siege every settlements in the game and go for roam for last

I think the Greeks are the most overpowered faction in the game. You can pretty much beat anyone with an army of armoured hoplites.
