Especially with the conditions I mentioned, it's a nightmare IMO. You think the Western Roman campaign in BI is easy ?!? I'm a sucker for this type of warfare - which I suppose is pretty obvious by now. They're really fun to play as, and I don't even need that strong infantry, since I pretty much kill anything approaching me with my cavalry armies in the open field. The Sarmatians were the first faction I ever beat the campaign with - that is, fulfilled the victory conditions. I do love their cavalry choices (including women cavalry), and since they were such a challenge, I reckon I will go back to them. Oh, I think I will play as the Sarmatians again, but I didliked how they had such little choice in terms of infantry. I prefer a challenge, and I prefer to defend more and conquer less, so I look forward to playing as the Western Roman Empire. I have found all Total War games, except for my Barbarian Invasion Sarmatian campaign, a bit easy (I didn't finish it because I moved house and had computer problems). with infantry, pretty much any of the barbarian factions will do, with units like the Chosen Axemen, Golden Band and Lombard Berserkers of the Alemanni, Burgundii and Lombardi, Gallowglasses and Hounds of Coulann of the Celts and the Heerbann units of the Franks. Originally posted by T4HM MoshonN:If you're looking for brute force, esp. If you actually manage to reunite the Imperium Romanum, defeat your enemies and force them to accept the Pax Romana and quench the rebels both in the east and west with the Western Roman Empire on VH/VH, you can not only say you won the campaign, but you bested the game. Clibinarii, Comitatenses First Cohorts, Scholae Palatinae or Auxilia Palatina, or their awe-inspiring siege weaponry. The Romans do have some heavy hitters, infantry and cavalry alike, but they are constantly struggling against so many enemies, inside and outside their borders, you might want to think twice about playing them just so you can field Equites Catafractarii, E. Also, in the campaign, they have this opportunity to build up an empire from pretty much nothing. Personally, I like these best, with the Vandals as my favorite, a good base of infantry for defense and absolutly devastating cavalry for offense. The desert and nomadic factions require a little more finesse, being cavalry heavy with a focus on horse archers. I've also noticed that Kartli Axemen beat triarii and many hoplites 1v1 so I immagine that they can save cataphracts from some tough situations.If you're looking for brute force, esp. I've chosen Armenia over Parthia because they have the Persian cav, which means that they have some shock cav that can carry them while waiting for the eastern cataphracts. I've discarded Macedon because the companions are unlocked in the very late game. The hellenic cataphracts are better than the eastern, so for the majority of the campaign the Seleucids will actually have better cav than Armenians. Armenia has the best cataphracts but they are unlocked very late in the campaign, whereas the Seleucids have slightly worse cataphracts but are unlocked a lot earlier. Hello, I was looking at the unit rosters and the campaign requirements for some factions and was wondering: what's the best faction in the game if I want to rely on cavalry charges? From what I've noticed the 2 main contenders are the Seleucids and Armenia. Think we missed one? Give us a Modmail and suggest new Subreddits to add to the lists!
