Contents.Gameplay As Barbarian Invasion takes place several centuries after the end of the original game, the factions and provinces are very different. While the original Rome: Total War focused on the rise of Rome, Barbarian Invasion focuses on the decline of during the, as numerous and tribes, such as the, the, and the, migrate into Roman lands and the religion of begins to replace. Meanwhile, struggles more with the of than they do with the 'barbarian' tribes. Several new gameplay features were added to reflect the tumultuousness of the era, while most of the fundamental gameplay mechanics are the same as they were in the original game.In Barbarian Invasion, most barbarians are able to transform their faction into a '. When a barbarian faction loses its last province, rather than being destroyed, it becomes a horde and is forced to settle elsewhere (two factions, the Huns and, begin with no provinces, while other factions can appear later in the game as hordes). Barbarian factions with only one province may also choose to voluntarily abandon their province and become a horde. Hordes are very large armies that represent an entire faction, but they do not require upkeep.
When a horde army successfully seizes a city, it is given the option of sacking the city (which does massive damage to the population and buildings of a city and gives the horde a large amount of money) or of settling in the city, which allows the horde to begin anew, with the new city as its capital; the faction is then able to conquer other provinces normally. When the horde settles, a portion of the horde army is disbanded and the population distributed into the city. Horde factions do not 'die out' unless they are totally defeated on the battlefield and/or their major family members are all slain.Barbarian Invasion also introduces the concept of religion. The three religions represented in the game are,. Characters in the game may adhere to one of the three religions, and the religious composition of each province is also stated. Provinces may gradually convert to a different religion in a variety of ways; for example, constructing temples dedicated to one of the religions will help that religion spread in the province. Religious conflict within a province will usually cause a great deal of unrest, which may force the player to either take steps to make the province happier or try to convert the province in order to avoid a revolt.

The mod further improves historical accuracy and introduces new game-play concepts. The last RTR VII series patch was released in 2012.In 2014, a RTR team moved to the Exilian webforums to work on a new Grand Campaign mod, which among other features is likely to include a more in-depth depiction of Steppe nomad culture and a new original score.

( May 2009) Although the original game was extremely successful and has been used to animate several historical TV programs (including the tactical simulation ), numerous gamers expressed disappointment with the historical inaccuracy of the game. These inaccuracies were acknowledged by the game's creators, who admitted the inclusion of numerous and inaccuracies in order to improve experience.The most severe criticism was reserved for the game's depiction of. Rome portrays the faction more as the Pharaonic Middle-Eastern empire of the tenth century BC rather than the to 's empire it actually was in the period of the game (270 BC–AD 14). The developers of Rome stated that a -dominated Egypt that matched their consumers' expectations was considered more fun, and a sounder business strategy, than yet another -based Hellenistic race to match the four already present in the game (the, the and ). The RTR developers concluded that the wildly differing starting conditions and other differences between the Ptolemaic Empire and, for instance, provided sufficient distinction to provide a unique playing experience without having to resort to adding units from previous millennia. The Egyptian faction has therefore been completely remodeled to better reflect its armies of the time.The RTR mod also includes hundreds of minor gameplay modifications, altering both the strategic and tactical fields of the game.Later released was The Iberian Conflict (or T.I.C.), the first in a planned series of 'mini-campaigns' that would lead up to the eventual release of RTR VII: Grand Campaign. The Iberian Conflict focuses on 's conquest of Iberia.
A few months ago the latest release was presented: Fate of Empires (or F.O.E.). It focuses on the western Mediterranean.Major changes. Seventeen playable factions. The original game only offered eleven playable factions, with all but the three Roman families needing to be unlocked by completing the game as a Roman faction. As of version 6.0 gold, the faction roster removes the and, condenses the four factions into one, and adds. The Mod also renamed several factions to improve historical accuracy, such as giving Spain its classical name,. The majority of the units on the tactical map have been given new skins, and several new units have been created.
Total War Barbarian Invasion Factions
Two hundred new textures and models have been added in total. 'Faction colours' have been removed. In Rome, armies were colour-coded by faction, for ease of playability: all of the Egyptian units wore bright yellow clothing, Julii wore red, mercenaries green, rebels gray, and so forth. In RTR these colours have been abandoned, and most soldiers wear rather similar shades of, and, the colours of undyed.
This reflects their probable historical modes of dress, as at the time, for clothing and ornamentation were extremely expensive. The statistics of all units have been adjusted and rebalanced. The effect is to increase the length of battles, by reducing the rate at which soldiers kill enemies, and the effectiveness of most missile units has been decreased. One of the most prominent of these changes is increase in the viability of, especially when charging. This better reflects cavalry's historic role as an influential member of a classical army due to its mobility and the impact of its charge. It is also modelled with much longer lances than those portrayed in, which were too short for a realistic charge. New 'Area of Recruitment' gameplay mechanic.
In Rome, there was virtually no restriction on the units a faction could train in a given province: for example, could train exactly the same units in their capital city of Carthage as they could in their distant colonies in. The exceptions were that Roman First Cohorts could only be recruited in; could only be recruited in Sparta or; and and units could only be recruited in provinces that have those animals as resources.
In RTR, the units that can be recruited in a province depend in large part on the province itself. Gallic infantry, for instance, can only be recruited in, but can be recruited there by any faction which controls it. Still, all factions do have their own typical units that can be recruited in any of their territories once the appropriate buildings have been constructed. Redesigned campaign map. The map was extended east towards.
This shows the historical extent of the various eastern powers, such as and the, the borders of which stretched far beyond the edge of Rome's campaign map. In Rome the Parthians' starting position was split in half by the, with no eastern expansion possible; since a very early war with the Seleucid Empire was extremely common, it made Parthia one of the most difficult factions to play. Due to the absence of Persia and modern day Iran, the Seleucids were also extremely restricted by their small Mediterranean, Babylonian and Asia Minor territories, which often led to them being destroyed by Pontus, Egypt and Armenia early in the game. New, optional music from two composers, including a version of used for the credits.
The RTR website also hosts other mods which stack onto the RTR package; these are also fan-made, but are not officially supported by the RTR designers. The mods make other changes, such as adding factions, changing the game years to four turns/year (rather than two), changing animations and formations, and integrating changes from Barbarian Invasion.Factions Roman There is only one Roman faction in the game.
All four factions from RTW have been condensed into one. The starts out with control of Central Italy. The Romans have many legionary infantry and supporting auxiliary troops but lack quality cavalry. They are still the only faction allowed to construct amphitheatres and construct highways over paved roads, in keeping with Roman history.Barbarian factions have both distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Unlike civilized factions, they cannot build stone walls, nor roads better than basic ruts, which inhibits their strategic movement. More importantly, their technology is limited to only three city levels, as opposed to five for civilized factions. Thus they tend to research their most advanced units more quickly than other factions. Barbarian armies are undisciplined and rely on brute force and numerical superiority. Barbarian infantry have greater attack but lower defence in comparison to infantry of other factions. The start out with a very large territory mainly in modern France and northern Italy.
The Gauls have good swordsmen and archers, but little cavalry and even fewer special units, making the Gauls a rather basic faction. The are a faction that starts out with control of modern-day parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Albania. It has many capable skirmishers and Greek-inspired Hoplites with some cavalry choice. The begin to the northeast of Gaul and the east of Britannia, in what today would be considered The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. German forces include superb but undisciplined infantry, few cavalry choices, and a few different units of axemen. The are a semi-civilized Barbarian nation that begins on the Iberian peninsula, and controls all of modern Spain and Portugal except for the central and southern areas, which are controlled by Rebels and Carthage, respectively. They are a Carthago-Barbarian faction who combine elements of both cultures.
Their units include solid fanatical infantry units with some cavalry choices. The Iberians, unlike other Barbarian factions, have the option to build stone walls in minor cities. The rely mainly on heavy infantry, notably the falx-wielding troops available early on in the game. They are located in eastern Europe around modern Bulgaria. The are overwhelmingly composed of horse archers.
The Sarmatians control an extensive territory but few provinces in Eastern Europe, roughly corresponding to modern Ukraine and the surrounding area.Greek The Greek factions are located in or near the eastern Mediterranean Sea, mainly on the Balkan peninsula and around Anatolia and also in modern Turkey. Greek armies tend to focus on extremely strong infantry which utilize the at the expense of other forms of infantry, cavalry, and archers.
The surprisingly start out with very little control in Greece. They have a good selection of hoplite infantry, including Spartans (the best infantry in the game), but little cavalry.
The 's main force focuses largely on the Phalanx pikemen and hoplites with a good selection of cavalry. Macedon begins with territories in the north and east coast of the Aegean Sea. The 's main force is similar to that of Macedon, containing the same powerful hoplites and shock cavalry. However, its armies can also contain Eastern Warriors, war elephants, and, giving it the most diverse troop selection in the game. The Seleucid Empire encompasses a strip of territory running from the Aegean coast to India.
The is a Greco-Persian faction, with both Greek and Persian troops. They begin the game in modern Afghanistan and West China, and usually expand into India. Their units are made up of war elephants, Greek Phalanx, Eastern units and a wide selection of cavalry.
The has a mixed military; its units consist of Greek-influenced Phalanxes and African infantry. It starts out with control of today's Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, northern Libya, southern Turkey, eastern Crete, and Cyprus, as well as Rhodes. The is a Greco-Eastern faction, with Greek names and Greek gods. Their troops include fast-moving, javelin-armed cavalry, as well as phalanx troops and chariots. In the game, Pontus starts in northeast Asia Minor, in historical Greek colonies.African African armies consist of fairly strong cavalry and, notably, elephants, but usually have weak infantry.
This is a major disadvantage when facing the Republic of Rome, as the Roman legions destroy most forms of infantry. Main elephant and cavalry support is required for Carthaginian success.
The has a variety of units which include a good mixture of infantry, high-quality cavalry and powerful elephants, but a poor selection of ranged troops, including a notable lack of archers. It is hurt by the fact that it cannot get infantry that is on par with the Roman legionaries until late in the game.
It begins with territory in modern Tunisia and the surrounding area, along with colonies in southern Spain, Sicily, and Sardinia. Carthage is a very rich faction, and can often afford to employ units of mercenaries to bolster its ranks. However, under AI control, Carthage rarely gains much territory and is usually destroyed by the Romans and sometimes the Numidians. The has fast mounted and dismounted skirmisher units, as well as some light spear-armed infantry. Many Numidian units receive advantages when fighting in deserts. The faction can train its own version of the Roman legionaries.
Numidia begins the game holding the North African land not possessed by Egypt and Carthage.Eastern The Eastern factions represent the major states of the Middle East not ruled by the (Alexander the Great's successors). Their armies tend to rely heavily on high-quality cavalry, and evidence of Greek influence is present due to Alexander the Great's recent conquest of the area just 50 years prior to the starting date of the game. The 's specialty is with mounted units, such as Persian cavalry and the horse archer. While its cavalry is extremely powerful, its infantry is weaker than those of other factions, which can make sieges difficult. The Parthians inhabit the land in central Asia east of the Caspian sea, and also have holdings to the north.
In a typical game, their borders rarely expand and they are attacked constantly by Armenia, the Seleucid Empire, Bactria, and Pontus. Unlike the other factions, Parthia only receives access to one type of temple: The Temple of Zoroaster.
The, like Parthia, has armies which contain strong cavalry. Armenia is the only faction with cataphract archers and Eastern heavy infantry, the latter being comparable to the. They also have their own version of Roman legionaries.
The Armenian starting territory is located in the mountainous region of what is today Armenia, Georgia, and eastern Turkey.Rebels The are a unique faction. Rebels can be informally divided into three groups based on how they operate on the campaign map: Brigands and Pirates (who raid trade routes and attack fleets), Deserters and Freed Slaves (who attack armies of their former faction), or Independent Kingdoms and Rebel Cities (who generally isolate themselves unless they are attacked).User created mods Rome Total Realism Mod allows mini-mods (sub-mods) within the mod itself to enhance the gaming experience. Some of the most popular mini-mods include MetroNaval, Ancient Empires, Extended Realism, and Imperator. These mini-mods modify even further the Rome Total Realism to sometimes allow a different type of a gameplay or balance the statistical issues within the mod.Newer versions Since the mod's original release, the RTR Team has released several more mods in a series called RTR-VII:. The first, (TiC), focuses on the struggles of to conquer the Iberian Peninsula, setting against. The second release, (FoE), expands upon TiC to include the rest of the Western Mediterranean, including Italy, North Africa, Sicily and Southern Gaul.
It starts in 280 BC, when invades Italy to try and bring about the end of Rome. What happens after that is for the player to decide.: Grand Campaign (RTR VII: GC) has been released. It expands on FoE to include the rest of Gaul, Greece, the Balkan areas, and part of Asia Minor. It aims to max out the capabilities of the RTW Engine.See also.References.
