The Getae! - Faction Overview - Divide Et Impera (1.2.6) - Total War Rome 2 

Time Stamps for you all! Part 1 - Campaign Overview : 1:20 ( Or for 4:40 if you want to skip the faction bonuses) Part 2 - Military Overview: 19:05 Part 3 - Verdict: 35:36

If I remember correctly, the special thing about the late game Getae sword infantry is that it draws from freeman population. So I guess that's why it's considered an imitation legionaire.

Sorry for no Sparta today all, had some issues with the video so I'm gonna be aiming for Tuesday or Wednesday to get it uploaded. (Its also a bit longer than normal to compensate!) What factions would you like to know more about? Comment below!!

Another great video, very thorough and very entertaining! I'd like to see a Parthia overview next, it is by far the most frustrating campaign in DEI in my opinion, I've had no luck whatsoever in my tries. It'd be cool to see you have a shot at and reviewing it.

The overview in short is that basically, Gatae is a piece of paper surrounded by wild fire

Been started playing Rome 2 for the first time and tried to play with this faction for like 10 times, but don t want to give up yet, I like this faction as they were the only ones to opose real threat to Rome for centuries up untill the day Traian send all the roman might and conquered them, eventualy 😒 Oh and another cool fact about this was that Great Rome was paying tribute in gold for them to stay within their borders. Also they were the only civilisation back then to believe in immortality of the soul and rebirth on another world after death, so much alike the vikings, they were happy to die in battle to be reborn

Nice video. A little on the quiet side but still good. Maybe more volume in the future.

I am actually playing Getae. Eventually I use the ancient thracian pattern migration so i migrate to macedonia or bythinia in asia minnor and i charghe capital pella or nicomedia or sometimes pulpudeva ... during this time i hardly try po keep navisus and make war with ardiaei for epidamnos .main tech building chains so in a short time try to acel lvl 3 capital units as phalangitai or thracian specials.

I wonder how much of this overview has changed since we are now on DEI version 1.3.

Ive never played DEI. Looking forward tho. I played a lot the original version of RTWII, and Getae was by far the most dificult campain to play. I was not even once able to sruvive more than 20 or 30 turns at top dificulty.

I think daco is pronounced As “da-co”, not “day-co”. Apart from that, great overview about one of my favourite factions in the mod, next to the entire Gaul/Celtic factions and the steppe nomads. Though I can never commit to finishing a campaign with them in the grand-campaign as starting economy and military is hard to balance for me, even on normal EDIT: I wonder if you should go over the starting mission chapters of the factions you overview, and go over whether or not they might be worth it. And also maybe go over the victory conditions, as I think they can influence the way you play out your campaigns as well as how it affect your decision making.

''Donut of Doom'' XD

Very cool and diverse faction, almost always gets into manpower/population problems tho

By far the most difficult start in DEI.

will u pls do one on nabataea

Is the mod available on the Steam Workshop?

Their king starts with very very harsh traits -10% unit replishment

hey mate, great content, thanks for your work ! I'm struggling a lot with getae on very hard difficulty on 1.33. First time on my life I find a campaign just impossible. I did multiple restarts with lots of different strategies and all failed. Daci and Apulii have just a better infantry at the start, that they can recruit turn one, no need of military building : carpe infantry. Same price as my peasant, but very very strong. That's unfair, I can t compete :/ It is very bad idea to consolidate because we have no money and neighbours will have 2 full stack each if we let them. So we have to rush. Even the first rush against daci is tough but doable, by recruting mercenaries. Then Apulii... The only time I manage to take the big city was because of a great luck. Apuli declared war against celts and was beaten, then I took the city quite undefended et even there, it was a challenge because of the big garrison. Then, I never managed to take bastarnes territory because of revolt, and celts declared war on me. So I'm unable to consolidate, being constantly under pressure. With 3 provinces (2 small and 1 big city), my best was to afford 1.5 full stack. And all the neighbour with only 1 settlement, can muster 2 or even 3 full stacks with better infantry. And when I say I can have 1.5 full stack, it is with full komatai cheap unit, some falx to flank, some archers, and 4 generals with heavy cav. 1 vs 1, I managed quit well with this build, but ennemies are just too numerous and their infantry so strong. Am I missing something ? Maybe you or someone else have some advices to help me :)

When you do a unit overview,could you do it in real battle,like set the entire roster on a line in flat plain or a special map from multiplayer and you do a overview in pause After that you could just click the play button and while continue the review we could see some cinematic shot of the faction being reviewed clash with full stack of of roman best legion and unit😂😂😂😂

I m massgate from india in India we are called ourself Jatt have about 8 crore population in India and 4 crore population in Pakistan

Dacians and Getae were a Thracian tribe divided în two by the Danube. Dacians were close to the Carpathian Mountains and Getae were below the Danube together with the Thracians. The closest nation to Getae-Dacian-Thracians, are the old Iliryians, which are the nowadats Albanians.

The " dacian chosen falxmen " are the most overpowered infantry that ever exists they will destroy almost everything, I don't know how you kept hovering over them and also kept intentionally ignorning them when they are the best infantry unit they have essentially 😂😂😂

Actually i find the getae to be a little bit lacking apart from the cool falxman. Infantry they r worse off than the celts/germanic neighbours and cavalry wise they cant hold a torch to nomadic factions/ hellenic shock cav
