Imperator Rome Top 10 Tips 

A korean girl intrest in map warefare? Ultra rare kimchi

When's the last time you played?

@KonglomeratYT I think I played one game after the DLC came out when ever that was.

I highly recommend adding the tera indomita mod. It includes the invictus mod along with a few others.

​​@@jamesmayes4351you should use invictus. They added some things from invictus to the base game alread and made mods achievement compatible.

@@gregc6535 just tried that out, wow thats impressive.

The endgame date let's you go past it without a mod. Did you encounter some sort of hard cap?

@@KonglomeratYT Not yet, and i dont think there is one. But as a small tribe to become great power empire i cannot do this in 300 years. Now i am in the year 1120 or so. Like 400 or more years later than vanilla. And now there are 5 great powers, Egypt, Rome, India, Persia and my Suebian Empire with 2000 cohorts. About 90% of map is part of a great power, really endgame.

Good tip! Definitely worth a read for anyone scrolling by.

It dosent seem to work once allied

Glad it helped!

I suggest watching my military guide (it's in the playlist in the description). I go over it in more depth. These tips are a shorter version of what I say in a lot of my guides. In short though, you don't NEED legions. Legions are just a way to take manpower of levies, and the money of mercenaries, and put it into something that you can modify/customize/train/pre-position. It's completely valid to not use them, but I talk more about the advantages of everything in that military guide.

@@KonglomeratYT I'll give it a watch again. Thanks a lot for your videos.

Glad that you find them helpful.

Later research gives bonuses to heavy infantry. Can train legions for experience which reduces losses. Good for road building. Legions are still a late game luxury though.

-For large powers it lets you fight small/medium size wars without taking war exhaustion and levy maluses. Same with barbarians Troop become elite through legion honors You determine the exact unit composition You can set any character as a commander. Make use of those random 12+ mil score character that enter the kingdom but are unsuitable as governors. IMO not worth it until you are at a particular place in the geopolitical balance of your region.

Glad that you found it helpful! I have a whole playlist with more if you need; in the description.

They can be better under certain circumstances on a 1 to 1 fight, but legions will always be quality > quantity. I've seen newer players rush to get a legion, but now not have enough troops to fight wars, or enough money for mercenaries. This is why I recommended against treating them as being important for newer players. They limit your options due to their price, and require experience to be worth the cost.

@@KonglomeratYT Right. There is kinda linear progression. From full levy to mid game with one legion mixed with levy and late if you have 100k gold and 300+ per month, you can go full legion and training.

i mean thats what he said in the video. legions have room for lots of improvement but are basically levies when they start.

I have not considered it before, but it is a good idea.

Potentially. But currently I know nothing about invictus. So that would require some playtime.

I do have a government guide where I touch upon this while speaking of Republics. Does that cover it enough, or are you looking for a different sort of depth?

I'm New Yawka, but doing his best to enunciate. I could speak faster, but I am doing my best to be intelligible XD

@@KonglomeratYT No problem, I did enjoyed the video, just started playing this game trying something close to ck but different and I believe it's a lot more complex than ck.

Overall I would say the game is simpler than ck. It doesn't even play like it if you avoid monarchies. It is technically an EU game, but borrows from vicky 2, ck2, and hoi3 to some extent.

Glad you found them helpful. There's probably tidbits for that in my other guides, but I feel like I can definitely make a dedicated guide for that. Just to confirm that I know what "playing tall" means: it means to build up while expanding as little as possible, right?

@@KonglomeratYT correct. Making a mighty City State (if you're Greek, such as Massilia, Rhodes, Crete). I mostly play Greek factions. Also, I would like to you do a playthrough as Thebes. I have tried it but failed.

Yesterday I recorded a guide on how to do this. So it will get posted once I can get it edited and the schedule catches up. Plan on making more guides soon.

@@KonglomeratYT great, looking forward to it.

Glad the tips were helpful =)

That's a good tip. Make sure to keep your subjects trading.

@KonglomeratYT PDX has the best games for overlords imo. Another one that took me a while to figure out: keep One Province Minors around even if not as tributaries so they buy your stuff.

The AI does buy food resources. Both your province AI and foreign AI. You do need food as a resource to make high-population locations viable (in vanilla, there is even an exploit on how to do this with cities on certain resource types). Since food resources are commonly traded it is also a good source of income. However, the non-resource version of food is the most important reason why. As populations grow and land is developed, you will need food, or trade routes to support it. If you automate trade then the the automatic food imports should handle this mostly, but setting up food production is always smart to come before this. It is especially handy when you are stationing legions in provinces, as the presence of soldiers (even temporarily) can ravage the accumulated food supply in a province.

How are you coming in here pretending you don't know accents exist lol
