For me? Why yes, the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom, of course.
Meroe obviously. Maybe Blemmyes if I feeling like pic related.
Turdetani
Gallaeci BVLL
yes, he looks a bit like castro.
but he looks 100% like his father, like a younger brother, so no point in arguing

God this game was so visually beautiful. It's such a tragedy they ruined the combat, it made it unplayable for me. They did the factions right but they shat all over the combat. They ruined it in other ways too, but it's the combat itself is what makes it unplayable.
The video game "total war rome 2"
thx pham
do you have to play rome, can you play any other tribe?
Yes, you can play most tribes, not all, like in a paradox game, but you have a few tribes from pretty much all different cultures. Especially if you find it with all the DLCs.
>if you find it with all the DLCs
if it wasn't because I'm affraid of videogames addiction I'd defs pirate it or buy it
Also the OP pic is just the "vanilla" campaign. There are DLC with campaigns in other timeframes. Among others
>Caesar conquest of Gaul
>Punic War
>Second Triumvirate war (this one for free)
>Crisis of the Third Century/Aurelian
>Pelloponesian War
Op isnt vanilla, its modded
Yeah it's nice to look at and enjoy all the various tribes of the time, they've made it look very nice, if that's what you're into. The problem is it lacks real battle tactics like in older games like hammer and anvil, flanking, fighting on higher ground, cavalry charges and so on. From Rome 2 onwards these dont matter anymore the fights just turn into mass brawls no matter what tactic you use, it's all about having stronger and more elite units. I am half reviewing it for you and half ranting kek.
do you think the warhammer franchise could pull some good LULZtorical shit? I don't know if I'm saying something retarded.
I don't know if you know, but there is a warhammer total war? If i understood you right. If you mean like how the warhammer factions represent real world cultures i think it's 100% great. I love the comparisons.
Ironically Warhammer Total War solved the mass blobbing problem thanks to magic: putting all your troops/monsters in the same place usually means defeat, if the other army have a caster with AOE spells
I think WH should bet on it and make a LULZpilled videogame, I'd swear I've seen LULZtorical warhammer, but not sure if it was from them or not, same painted toys they had for WH they had for LULZtorical shit
You mean a non fantasy tabletop war game?
yeah, LULZtorically accurate, maybe drink a bit from myths to make it a bit more "magic"
>They ruined it in other ways too, but it's the combat itself is what makes it unplayable.
Such as what?? Btw if Im not mistaken, after so many years with countless mods and patches they say the game can be quite good now.
1.You can only have armies under a general, you can never independent forces.
2.City slots(a feature introduced in Empire but still) instead of a list of buildings to freely build
>1.You can only have armies under a general, you can never independent forces.
They did that because back in the older Total Wars, the AI would either send small armies on hilarious suicide runs or the AI Gets a brainfart and deploys a banner of purely archers or purely catapults.
So to streamline all of that they put all armies under generals and with set parameters wherein the army shall have an even variety of units (cavalry, infantry, missile troops etc).
Yes i assumed its the case. The ai is especially annoying in Empire in this regard. Still its a bad solution, i prefer the older way even with the dumb ai.
Damn OP that's beautiful, where did you get this from?
>choose
well Lusitani cause they probably came from direct Bell Beaker migration
icini
'ate romans, not racist just dont like em
simple as
Rome
'luve me emprah, luv me legate, luv me legion
'ate Greeks, 'ate Persians (not racist just don't like em'), 'ate Germanics
simple as
Why Carthage of course
Fake tacky silent movie nothing to do with actual Carthage
Europa Barbarorum II > Rome II
Europa Barbarorum > Europa Barbarorum II
Bactria and then I become reverse-Alexander and conquer all the way back home to Macedonia
Love me cataphracts, love me Ahura Mazda, ate' Romans, 'ate Greeks, 'ate Arabs, 'ate Turks, simple as.
I choose my own people; the Lusitani.
You know they probably descend directly from Bell Beakers?
Yes, that's probable, which I'm fine with.
I find that super fucking cool 2bh.
But I don't want to play as Pontus
You vill play as ze Pontus, and you vill like it.
Minoans, please.
I will play as the Getae and I will make l*gionaries seethe and I will fuck Thracian women.
For me, it's the Veneti.
Etruscans.
Ate romas (I'm very racist and I hate them.)
Ate gauls
Luv me pre-indoeuropean language.
Luv me kings.
Frisii
Nova Carthago, Lusitani, Veneti, Raeti and ~~*Egypt*~~.
My Ancestors
Boii ma bois.
Minoans and Carthage are not contemporary
Why does Egypt have so much of the Levant? Anyway, I pic EMPIRE SELEUCIDE, hopefully I can manage to make it last longer than it really did.
>Seleucid Empire
This, that unit diversity is unmatched.
Gutones of course
Colchis for sure
Sparta.
Himyar is the only unique and interesting culture on that map, the rest are either barbarians, greco-romans, or persians.
was himyar qahtanite or adnanite?
Qahtanite.
Oral tradition traces the origins of the adnanites to mesopetamia technically, cause ishmael.
i remember there being a thread about the most advanced pre-islamic kingdoms, i remember 2 being mentioned as top-level, one of the qahtanites and one of the adnanites, himyar must have been the most powerful one of the qahtanites, would you perhaps know which one the most powerful of the adnanites was?
EGYPT!
UGH! WHAT IT WAS! ALMOST HALF OF ALL COUPLES ARE SIBLINGS
UGH....
wincest pilled
iirc seleucid was the name of the dynasty, not the state itself
I'm a slav and I think Budini is the closest to slavs. But otherwise either Auduni or Suebi.
Nah man, Aestii is the closest as they were atleast Balto-Slavic.
Aestii were Baltic, at least if we go by that location, besides maybe southern half. Slavs probably chilled somewhere in the area of Budini, Anartes and east of that. It's not like we actually really know how that area was partitioned between tribes so no need to trust that map.
>Aestii were Baltic
And Balts and Slavs are closely related.
>Slavs probably chilled somewhere in the area of Budini, Anartes and east of that
I guess, but those tribes were Sarmatians and Scythians.
>but those tribes were Sarmatians and Scythians.
Are we sure? They might have just been regarded as such by people who didn't know the region well. I seen theories by archeologists that Budini were slavs, or at least area were they are shown on this map was inhabited by them. And for this region you are better off trusting archeologists than scarce writen records.
Athens.
I bow to my African masters
Blemmyes.
