If you refuse, you will initiate the Civil War, a gameplay mechanic unique to the Roman factions. It should be noted that, once your popularity with the people is high enough, you can simply initiate the Civil War by attacking another Roman faction.

<p>81.227.49.148: /* So you wish to fight the romans as Macedon? */</p> <hr /> <div>===So you wish to fight the romans as Macedon?===<br /> This task will not be easy sence 4 factions are romans and are loyal brothers in arms to other romans.<br /> Fist we must take a look at your Kingdom.<br /> <br /> Your Kingdom is fairly rich but has a weakness in infantry compared to Hoplites in the early stages but you have the best light cavalry in the world along with good heavy cavalry in the beginning.<br /> <br /> First you must build up baracks at your capital so that you have decent infantry that can delay your opponent long enough for your cavalry to hammer and anvil your opponents to the death.<br /> <br /> Indeed stay calm and prepare for your mission never rush to a war against a opponent that you know little about!<br /> <br /> First before the great war begins we must secure our flanks so Athens must be taken first build up baracks so you can replace your losses and exterminate the population.<br /> <br /> This is because you will need experience in street battles so that you can keep going with momentum and strenght and be able to afford a huge army!<br /> <br /> Once you have retrained your good infantry and cavalry Sparta is next.<br /> Here you will face superior infantry that excels in bottlenecks but only in bottlenecks.<br /> Even spartans are vulnerble for flank and rear attacks.<br /> <br /> So lets starve them and force them to sally their infantry and cavalry will be devided and a massive infantry assault against the gates will rout any unit that goes through that gate just remember to attack both flanks and the fronts to massacre them and then withdraw a little bit now repeat!<br /> <br /> The reason you should do this is that the computer only sends 1 infantry unit out from the city at a time in order to stay organised to crush them before they are ready will greatly minimise casulties.<br /> <br /> If they do not sally congratulations you have gained a city without bloodshed but blood is requied so exterminate and then uppgrade baracks if they haven't already!<br /> <br /> ===Whats going on with the romans?===<br /> We don't know, we must send spies to inform us on what they are doing since we dont use cheats we fight with honour!<br /> <br /> The Julii is problably establishing a powerbase in Italy and prepares for a war against the Gaullic towns that borders them. The Julii never attack without first building up economic and military buildings so they have a balance of troops and a good steady income just in case!<br /> <br /> The Brutii, well they are expanding into Greece and lets 2 small towns taste the benefit of roman rule after that Thermon is their next prey!<br /> <br /> Why? Because the Julii have by now captured Patavium and by capturing Thermon the Roman factions gets an increased income by sea trade along with tax and other money making things!<br /> <br /> The Brutii worship war and has experienced troops from the beginning but no established military buildings it will take some time to get those buildings and then produce units but once they have started they will not stop untill they are the masters of the world.<br /> <br /> The Scipii has captured Syracuse and with it all Roman factions gets more income by sea trade and soon Lilybaeum will fall with more sea trade to the romans.<br /> <br /> == The Roman way of war ==<br /> The roman fights with swords and javelins they are more flexible and mobile than a phalanx unit.<br /> The romans know that a phalanx head on is virtuallly invulnerble so they are going to outflank you with heavy infantry along with cavalry to break your cavalry that is the decisive arm of your army.<br /> <br /> They will then attack your phalanx units from the rear and flanks since your sarissas will not be effective anywhere but from the front and since their length and the ability that 5 rows can fight in the same time also is a protection, your troops will die like flies from these attacks if your not ready!<br /> <br /> In the center they will count on that their generals inspiration shall keep their center units from breaking.<br /> <br /> ===How do we counter this?===<br /> First we must know our strength and that is that Phalanx pikemen can beat swordsmen head on!<br /> We must use this to our advantage by allowing the romans to attack our cities as long as those cities has 4 phalanx pikemen along with 2 archer units and a light lancer.<br /> <br /> Just be careful and watch that pikewall kill anything in front of it.<br /> City streets are ideal for defending pikemen sence they cannot be flanked if some of your pikemen switch to swords immideatly press halt and your unit will switch back to spear and while your enemy with swords keep on fighting your troops will stand fresh your enemy exhausted and when in a street your enemy breaks send the light lancers and kill them but stay out of the tower range and pull back your cavalry to the city center and repeat.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile you besige their big empty cities with minimal losses soon Brutii will be wiped out!<br /> <br /> <br /> ===How to fight the romans in a field battle===<br /> Phalanx pikemen in the center along with heavy cavalry behind them.<br /> Rear Guard of Phalanx pikemen but ideally royal pikemen to support the light cavalry on the flanks.<br /> And archers to weaken the enemys missile support and 2 units of Onagers.<br /> <br /> The majority of your troops should be phalanx pikemen so more enemy units routs and less enemy troops will be able to outflank and envelop your units.<br /> <br /> Exploit the vast gap that the enemy leave in the center who says that cavalry should attack only from the flanks then hammer and anvil the enemys left or rigth flank with all your heavy cavalry to make them rout let light lancer units that is on your flank taked down the most important enemy units and rush to the next flank with the rest of your units.<br /> <br /> ===Why this formation and its purphase===<br /> As you know the phalanx pikemen are not supposed to be the desisive arm but since 5 rows can fight at the same time they will crush any swordsmen from the front along with the enemy general when they rout kill their combat effectiveness by reducing their numbers from 160 to 15 men in a unit.<br /> Royal pikemen has shorter spears but that makes them more flexibe and they have a bigger shield the light cavalry should lure the enemy cavalry into the spears and then you turn and hammer and anvil them from behind and if possible flanking the enemy cavalry that now dead!<br /> The onagers are there in order to kill heavy cavalry from afar and reducing this dangerous threat from bodyguards with 2 hp.<br /> <br /> Now mop up and kill all enemy family members on the battlefield kill all infantry that are on the field simply kill everything.<br /> <br /> The better troops of the enemy is on the field sence the weak has routed from the start these losses are one that this Roman faction will never recover from.<br /> <br /> ===What to do next===<br /> Congratulations Brutii is wiped out only 3 strong roman factions to go.<br /> Syracuse is your next target and will deny its resourses to the romans while reinforcing your own.<br /> <br /> When you have the island under your control we must send diplomats to scout ahead of our army take the small island now Scipii has a severly limited income.<br /> <br /> Mass produce 2 fleets composing 10 trimenes in each now the romans are isolated when you have blocked their cities harbours and this will hinder the roman expansion plan.<br /> <br /> Take your army and attack any Scipii town exept for Capua and then attack Arretium.<br /> By know you have recruted a second army and that army is marching along the coast towards Patavium.<br /> <br /> Thrace and Dacia may attack your cities earlier but let them!<br /> Your phalanx pikemen have longer weapons than what Dacia and Thrace can field.<br /> They can never compete with your advantage with 5 rows fighting at the same time.<br /> The only thing these faction gains by attacking your cities is a lower population and therfore late to reach next development level. <br /> <br /> Because they have too replace casulties.<br /> Crush Julii and know loock at those Dacian cities when you have them your empire become 1 once again not 2 seperate empires isolated from eachother.</div>

<p>81.227.49.148: /* How to win on the battlefield */</p> <hr /> <div>A popular RTW commoner, and host of many popular RTW online tournaments. Under the patronage of [[Hader]].<br /> <br /> Prince of macedon as the name applies plays as Macedon in online battles and he never play campagn and this is because the computer always repeat the same misstake and after a while their is no challenge in it anymore.<br /> <br /> A human player on the other hand is unpredictable and quick to learn new thing and as a result you get a rush when playing rtw online because everything can change in a instant.<br /> <br /> ===Prince of Macedons figthing style===<br /> Prince of macedon as many players is a big fan of the hammer and anvil tactic where the cavalry has a decisive role.<br /> <br /> He likes to use light cavalry against heavy cavalry just because if the enemy heavy cavalry pursues well then that cavalry is wasting time and also gets tired and if that units stops pursuing then Prince of Macedons light cavalry will charge that heavy cavalry units back and then retreat before the enemy heavy cavalry has recoved.<br /> <br /> Some times he lures the enemy cavalry into an isolated position on the battlefield and uses his light cavalry as the anvil and the heavy cavalry as the hammer.<br /> <br /> The units he uses for this role is Light lancers and companions.<br /> <br /> His favorite infantry close combat unit is Royal pikemen because they can beat any phalanx units exept for hoplites and they can also be the anvil of his army a very flexible unit.<br /> <br /> Royal pikemen are also good swordsmen unlike phalanx pikemen and they have the same number 241 men on huge scale and a big shield that protects the Ryal pikemen soldiers better than the aspis does to the phalanx pikemen.<br /> <br /> Prince usally bring both creatan and normal archers to the battlefield so his Creatans can stay protected for a longer time and take out closecombat units from afar while the normal archers takes care of enemy missile troops.<br /> <br /> ===Formations Prince uses ===<br /> Princes batte line is usally as with so many players with the infantry in the center.<br /> The flanks are evenly distributed with both light and heavy cavalry.<br /> And normal archers behind the royal pikemen and further to the back Creatan archers.<br /> <br /> ===The battle starts...===<br /> Prince of Macedon starts running towards his opponent in an ordered fashion so that his enemy has less time to adapt to Prince of Macedons formation and to minimize casulties from missile fire from his enemys archers.<br /> <br /> He then flank his opponent with ligth cavalry to lure the enemy cavalry away and then attack them from behind with heavy cavalry to gain the edge that cavalry bring to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> This tactic is copied from Alexander the greats tactic of luring the enemy cavalry away to allow his heavy cavalry to gain a better position on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Watch the movie alexander in the battle of Gagumela same tactic.<br /> <br /> He then make a flanking action with some Royal pikemen to free up his cavalry for rear attacks and to prevent his opponent to make a new batteline further behind.<br /> <br /> When his infantry units that made the flanking action has engaged his opponent infantry in the flanks he crashes with his cavalry against the enemy archer to lower the enemys troops morale making them rout and to massacre their numbers so that Prince of Macedon has an overvhelming superiority in numbers and quality.<br /> <br /> ===How to win on the battlefield===<br /> Use troops in the manner they are supposed to do know the strenghts and weaknesses of each unit for example peltast quickly runs out of ammo and dont kill anyone near as many enemy troops than the number of the peltast unit itself brings to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> A better option than peltast:<br /> <br /> Archers with long range and armour will kill 5 times their own number if properly protected and used let some archers fire at cavalry or close combat infanry while others kill other archers.<br /> <br /> Make a good battleline from the start and keep reserves in place.<br /> <br /> If your infantry is better than your opponent no infantry melee reserves is needed but place 2 heavy cavalry behind the center to exploit the gap that will emerge when your infantry rout the enemys but remeber keep flanks safe!<br /> <br /> Note a phalanx is invulnerble from the front against a non phalanx unit but you can hold them in place with 2 legionary first Cohort 3 ranks deep.<br /> <br /> Use the rest for flanking actions to limit enemy cavalrys room to manouver.<br /> <br /> Never attack with 10 legionary cohorts behind one another because most wont even fight in the battle instead attack flanks with one unit in each flank and then rush with other units against the rear also bring some troops to protect the rear of your flanking units so that they cannot be crushed from the rear.<br /> <br /> Have both light and heavy cavalry.<br /> <br /> Light cavalry lures the enemy cavalry away and when your heavy cavalry charges the enemys back you charge in with the light cavalry.<br /> <br /> Use terrain and weather to your advantage.<br /> <br /> Attack enemy flanks and rear the reason for this is obvious a unit is strongest and has the higest number of fighting men at the front in a line but the line has an end and the tropps behind the figthing line of the first rows are there to fill any gap caused by casulties.<br /> <br /> That is why the amount of soldiers in the end of a line has only as many soldiers on the flanks as in how deep your line is and if that flank faces the front of an enemy unit that unit that is attacked from the flank will break a lot faster amd with higer casulties on the player that didnt flank but was flanked himself.<br /> <br /> Always make a balanced line never make your line too thin or too deep.<br /> If a line is too thin then the casulties will leave a gap that the enemy can exploit.<br /> A too deep formation will decrease the number of troops that can fight at the same time and also make your formation vulnerable to flanking actions.<br /> <br /> Never attack an enemy flank if enemy cavalry is nearby because if you dont react and control your inpulses than the enemy cavalry will attack your cavalrys rear and annihilate it.<br /> <br /> ===Common misstakes an Rtw player does online:===<br /> <br /> Most players never bring light cavalry to the battlefield because they assume heavy cavalry is better in a way that is true but remeber that light and heavy cavalry have diffrent roles.<br /> Light cavalry can choose when to figth but a heavy cavalry cant do that against light cavalry.<br /> <br /> By bringing more ligth cavalry to the battlefield the melee type they can give you that advantage in mobility that your heavy cavalry can exploit with devestating affect.<br /> <br /> Many players when they see that they have greater number of cavalry especially heavy they immidietly charge with the cavalry with the opposite results than the player expects just because the enemy cavalry attacks from the rear and flanks and massacre the routing players heavy cavalry just because they arent fast enought to get away.<br /> <br /> Always have an anvil before deliver the hammer!<br /> <br /> Now play Rtw online with greater knowledge and better skill!</div>

<p>81.227.49.148: /* How to win on the battlefield */</p> <hr /> <div>A popular RTW commoner, and host of many popular RTW online tournaments. Under the patronage of [[Hader]].<br /> <br /> Prince of macedon as the name applies plays as Macedon in online battles and he never play campagn and this is because the computer always repeat the same misstake and after a while their is no challenge in it anymore.<br /> <br /> A human player on the other hand is unpredictable and quick to learn new thing and as a result you get a rush when playing rtw online because everything can change in a instant.<br /> <br /> ===Prince of Macedons figthing style===<br /> Prince of macedon as many players is a big fan of the hammer and anvil tactic where the cavalry has a decisive role.<br /> <br /> He likes to use light cavalry against heavy cavalry just because if the enemy heavy cavalry pursues well then that cavalry is wasting time and also gets tired and if that units stops pursuing then Prince of Macedons light cavalry will charge that heavy cavalry units back and then retreat before the enemy heavy cavalry has recoved.<br /> <br /> Some times he lures the enemy cavalry into an isolated position on the battlefield and uses his light cavalry as the anvil and the heavy cavalry as the hammer.<br /> <br /> The units he uses for this role is Light lancers and companions.<br /> <br /> His favorite infantry close combat unit is Royal pikemen because they can beat any phalanx units exept for hoplites and they can also be the anvil of his army a very flexible unit.<br /> <br /> Royal pikemen are also good swordsmen unlike phalanx pikemen and they have the same number 241 men on huge scale and a big shield that protects the Ryal pikemen soldiers better than the aspis does to the phalanx pikemen.<br /> <br /> Prince usally bring both creatan and normal archers to the battlefield so his Creatans can stay protected for a longer time and take out closecombat units from afar while the normal archers takes care of enemy missile troops.<br /> <br /> ===Formations Prince uses ===<br /> Princes batte line is usally as with so many players with the infantry in the center.<br /> The flanks are evenly distributed with both light and heavy cavalry.<br /> And normal archers behind the royal pikemen and further to the back Creatan archers.<br /> <br /> ===The battle starts...===<br /> Prince of Macedon starts running towards his opponent in an ordered fashion so that his enemy has less time to adapt to Prince of Macedons formation and to minimize casulties from missile fire from his enemys archers.<br /> <br /> He then flank his opponent with ligth cavalry to lure the enemy cavalry away and then attack them from behind with heavy cavalry to gain the edge that cavalry bring to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> This tactic is copied from Alexander the greats tactic of luring the enemy cavalry away to allow his heavy cavalry to gain a better position on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Watch the movie alexander in the battle of Gagumela same tactic.<br /> <br /> He then make a flanking action with some Royal pikemen to free up his cavalry for rear attacks and to prevent his opponent to make a new batteline further behind.<br /> <br /> When his infantry units that made the flanking action has engaged his opponent infantry in the flanks he crashes with his cavalry against the enemy archer to lower the enemys troops morale making them rout and to massacre their numbers so that Prince of Macedon has an overvhelming superiority in numbers and quality.<br /> <br /> ===How to win on the battlefield===<br /> Use troops in the manner they are supposed to do know the strenghts and weaknesses of each unit for example peltast quickly runs out of ammo and dont kill anyone as many enemy troops than the number of the peltast unit itself brings to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> A better option than peltast:<br /> <br /> Archers with long range and armour will kill 5 times their own number if properly protected and used let some archers fire at cavalry and close combat infanry while others kill other archers.<br /> <br /> Make a good battleline from the start and keep reserves in place.<br /> <br /> If your infantry is better than your opponent no infantry melee reserves is needed but place 2 heavy cavalry behind the center to exploit the gap that will emerge when your infantry rout the enemys but remeber keep flanks safe!<br /> <br /> Note a phalanx is invulnerble from the front against a non phalanx unit but you can hold them in place with a single legionary first Cohort 3 ranks deep.<br /> <br /> Have both light and heavy cavalry.Light cavalry lures the enemy cavalry away and when your cavalry charges the enemys back you charge in with the light cavalry.<br /> <br /> Use terrain and weather to your advantage.<br /> <br /> Attack enemy flanks and rear the reason for this is obvious a unit is strongest and has the higest number of fighting men at the front in a line but the line has an end and the tropps behind the figthing line of the first rows are there to fill any gap caused by casulties.<br /> <br /> That is why the amount of soldiers in the end of a line has only as many soldiers on the flanks as in how deep your line is and if that flank faces the front of an enemy unit that unit that is attacked from the flank will break a lot faster amd with higer casulties on the player that didnt flank but was flanked himself.<br /> <br /> Always make a balanced line never make your line too thin or too deep.<br /> If a line is too thin then the casulties will leave a gap that the enemy can exploit.<br /> A too deep formation will decrease the number of troops that can fight at the same time and also make your formation vulnerable to flanking actions.<br /> <br /> Never attack an enemy flank if enemy cavalry is nearby because if you dont react and control your inpulses than the enemy cavalry will attack your cavalrys rear and annihilate it.<br /> <br /> ===Common misstakes an Rtw player does online:===<br /> <br /> Most players never bring light cavalry to the battlefield because they assume heavy cavalry is better in a way that is true but remeber that light and heavy cavalry have diffrent roles.<br /> Light cavalry can choose when to figth but a heavy cavalry cant do that against light cavalry.<br /> <br /> By bringing more ligth cavalry to the battlefield the melee type they can give you that advantage in mobility that your heavy cavalry can exploit with devestating affect.<br /> <br /> Many players when they see that they have greater number of cavalry especially heavy they immidietly charge with the cavalry with the opposite results than the player expects just because the enemy cavalry attacks from the rear and flanks and massacre the routing players heavy cavalry just because they arent fast enought to get away.<br />

<p>81.227.49.148: /* What to do next */</p> <hr /> <div>===So you wish to fight the romans as Macedon?===<br /> This task will not be easy sence 4 factions are romans and are loyal brothers in arms to other romans.<br /> Fist we must take a look at your Kingdom.<br /> <br /> Your Kingdom is fairly rich but has a weakness in infantry compared to Hoplites in the early stages but you have the best light cavalry in the world along with good heavy cavalry in the beginning.<br /> <br /> First you must build up baracks at your capital so that you have decent infantry that can delay your opponent long enough for your cavalry to hammer and anvil your opponents to the death.<br /> <br /> Indeed stay calm and prepare for your mission never rush to a war against a opponent that you know little about!<br /> <br /> First before the great war begins we must secure our flanks so Athens must be taken first build up baracks so you can replace your losses.<br /> <br /> This is because you will need experience in street battles so that you can keep going with momentum and strenght.<br /> <br /> Once you have retrained your good infantry and cavalry Sparta is next.<br /> Here you will face superior infantry that excels in bottlenecks but only in bottlenecks.<br /> Even spartans are vulnerble for flank and rear attacks.<br /> <br /> So lets starve them and force them to sally their infantry and cavalry will be devided and a massive infantry assault against the gates will rout any unit that goes through that gate just remember to attack both flanks and the fronts to massacre them and then withdraw a little bit now repeat!<br /> <br /> The reason you should do this is that the computer only sends 1 infantry unit out from the city at a time in order to stay organised to crush them before they are ready will greatly minimise casulties.<br /> <br /> If they do not sally congratulations you have gained a city without bloodshed but blood is requied so exterminate and then uppgrade baracks if they haven't already!<br /> <br /> ===Whats going on with the romans?===<br /> We don't know, we must send spies to inform us on what they are doing since we dont use cheats we fight with honour!<br /> <br /> The Julii is problably establishing a powerbase in Italy and prepares for a war against the Gaullic towns that borders them. The Julii never attack without first building up economic and military buildings so they have a balance of troops and a good steady income just in case!<br /> <br /> The Brutii, well they are expanding into Greece and lets 2 small towns taste the benefit of roman rule after that Thermon is their next prey!<br /> <br /> Why? Because the Julii have by now captured Patavium and by capturing Thermon the Roman factions gets an increased income by sea trade along with tax and other money making things!<br /> <br /> The Brutii worship war and has experienced troops from the beginning but no established military buildings it will take some time to get those buildings and then produce units but once they have started they will not stop untill they are the masters of the world.<br /> <br /> The Scipii has captured Syracuse and with it all Roman factions gets more income by sea trade and soon Lilybaeum will fall with more sea trade to the romans.<br /> <br /> == The Roman way of war ==<br /> The roman fights with swords and javelins they are more flexible and mobile than a phalanx unit.<br /> The romans know that a phalanx head on is virtuallly invulnerble so they are going to outflank you with heavy infantry along with cavalry to break your cavalry that is the decisive arm of your army.<br /> <br /> They will then attack your phalanx units from the rear and flanks since your sarissas will not be effective anywhere but from the front and since their length and the ability that 5 rows can fight in the same time also is a protection, your troops will die like flies from these attacks if your not ready!<br /> <br /> In the center they will count on that their generals inspiration shall keep their center units from breaking.<br /> <br /> ===How do we counter this?===<br /> First we must know our strength and that is that Phalanx pikemen can beat swordsmen head on!<br /> We must use this to our advantage by allowing the romans to attack our cities as long as those cities has 4 phalanx pikemen along with 2 archer units and a light lancer.<br /> <br /> Just be careful and watch that pikewall kill anything in front of it.<br /> City streets are ideal for defending pikemen sence they cannot be flanked if some of your pikemen switch to swords immideatly press halt and your unit will switch back to spear and while your enemy with swords keep on fighting your troops will stand fresh your enemy exhausted and when in a street your enemy breaks send the light lancers and kill them but stay out of the tower range and pull back your cavalry to the city center and repeat.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile you besige their big empty cities with minimal losses soon Brutii will be wiped out!<br /> <br /> <br /> ===How to fight the romans in a field battle===<br /> Phalanx pikemen in the center along with heavy cavalry behind them.<br /> Rear Guard of Phalanx pikemen but ideally royal pikemen to support the light cavalry on the flanks.<br /> And archers to weaken the enemys missile support and 2 units of Onagers.<br /> <br /> The majority of your troops should be phalanx pikemen so more enemy units routs and less enemy troops will be able to outflank and envelop your units.<br /> <br /> Exploit the vast gap that the enemy leave in the center who says that cavalry should attack only from the flanks then hammer and anvil the enemys left or rigth flank with all your heavy cavalry to make them rout let 2 light lancer units that is on your flank taked down the most important enemy units and rush to the next flank with the rest of your units.<br /> <br /> ===Why this formation and its purphase===<br /> As you know the phalanx pikemen are not supposed to be the desisive arm but since 5 rows can fight at the same time they will crush any swordsmen from the front along with the enemy general when they rout kill their combat effectiveness by reducing their numbers from 160 to 15 men in a unit.<br /> Royal pikemen has shorter spears but that makes them more flexibe and they have a bigger shield the light cavalry should lure the enemy cavalry into the spears and then you turn and hammer and anvil them from behind and if possible flanking the enemy cavalry that now dead!<br /> The onagers are there in order to kill heavy cavalry from afar and reducing this dangerous threat from bodyguards with 2 hp.<br /> <br /> Now mop up and kill all enemy family members on the battlefield kill all infantry that are on the field simply kill everything.<br /> <br /> The better troops of the enemy is on the field sence the weak has routed from the start these losses are one that this Roman faction will never recover from.<br /> <br /> ===What to do next===<br /> Congratulations Brutii is wiped out only 3 strong roman factions to go.<br /> Syracuse is your next target and will deny its resourses to the romans while reinforcing your own.<br /> <br /> When you have the island under your control we must send diplomats to scout ahead of our army take the small island now Scipii has a severly limited income.<br /> <br /> Mass produce 2 fleets composing 10 trimenes in each now the romans are isolated when you have blocked their cities harbours and this will hinder the roman expansion plan.<br /> <br /> Take your army and attack any Scipii town exept for Capua and then attack Arretium.<br /> By know you have recruted a second army and that army is marching along the coast towards Patavium.<br /> <br /> Thrace and Dacia may attack your cities earlier but let them!<br /> Your phalanx pikemen have longer weapons than what Dacia and Thrace can field.<br /> They can never compete with your advantage with 5 rows fighting at the same time.<br /> The only thing these faction gains by attacking your cities is a lower population and therfore late to reach next development level. <br /> <br /> Because they have too replace casulties.<br /> Crush Julii and know loock at those Dacian cities when you have them your empire become 1 once again not 2 seperate empires isolated from eachother.</div>

The kings after him continued to establish control of Macedon, until the reign of Philip III. Philip expanded Macedonian influence into Greece.He planned to invade the Persian Empire,but was assassinated. The task fell to Philip's son Alexander the Great. After retaking Greece, and campaigning against the tribes to the north,Alexander invaded and seized the Persian Empire,as well as parts of India. His empire fell apart after his untimely death. Macedon survived as a kingdom until the reign of King Perseas, who was defeated by the Romans.<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> Macedon is a challenging faction to play, as plague will soon strike Thessalonica. They usually fight against Thrace, the Greek Cities and later on, the Brutii.<br /> <br /> One possible strategy as Macedon would be to take over the Greeks, then attack the adjacent Romans, before eliminating the Thracians to the north. While fighting the greeks your Phalanx Pikemen will tear them to shreds. They have much longer spears. Longer even than Royal Pikemen. Thermon is the most important city to capture as that is the first place that the Brutii will attack. A good strong garrison is needed as the Brutii won't stop attacking even if you destroy their armies again and again. Solution? Attack the Brutii in Southern Italy and wipe them out. As you will now be at war with all the Roman factions the capture of Capua and then Rome is crucial. Make sure that the Scipii are now either none existent or too weak to be a threat. I recommend non-existence. Leave the Julii for now. By now you should control all of Greece, Southern Italy,Crete and the Balkans area. Thrace should also be destroyed and the capture of Byzantium before they get it is crucial.

<p>81.227.49.148: /* How to win on the battlefield */</p> <hr /> <div>A popular RTW commoner, and host of many popular RTW online tournaments. Under the patronage of [[Hader]].<br /> <br /> Prince of macedon as the name applies plays as Macedon in online battles and he never play campagn and this is because the computer always repeat the same misstake and after a while their is no challenge in it anymore.<br /> <br /> A human player on the other hand is unpredictable and quick to learn new thing and as a result you get a rush when playing rtw online because everything can change in a instant.<br /> <br /> ===Prince of Macedons figthing style===<br /> Prince of macedon as many players is a big fan of the hammer and anvil tactic where the cavalry has a desisive role.<br /> <br /> He likes to use light cavalry against heavy cavalry just because if the enemy heavy cavalry purues well then that cavalry is wasting time and also gets tired and if that units stops pursuing then his light cavalry will charge his back and then retreat before the enemy heavy cavalry has recoved.<br /> <br /> Some times he lures the enemy cavalry into an isolated position on the battlefield and uses his light cavalry as the anvil and the heavy cavalry as the hammer.<br /> <br /> The units he uses for this role is Light lancers and companions.<br /> <br /> His favorite infantry closecombat unit is Royal pikemen because they can beat any phalanx units exept for hoplites and they can also be the anvil of his army a very flexible unit.<br /> <br /> Royal pikemen are also good swordsmen unlike phalanx pikemen and they have the same number 241 men on huge scale and a big shield that protects the Ryal pikemen soldiers better than the aspis does to the phalanx pikemen.<br /> <br /> Prince usally bring both creatan and normal archers to the battlefield so his Creatans can stay protected for a longer time and take out closecombat units from afar while the normal archers takes care of enemy missile troops.<br /> <br /> ===Formations Prince uses ===<br /> Princes batte line is usally as with so many players with the infantry in the center.<br /> The flanks are evenly distributed with both light and heavy cavalry.<br /> And normal archers behind the royal pikemen and further to the back Creatan archers.<br /> <br /> ===The battle starts...===<br /> Prince of Macedon starts running towards his opponent in an ordered fashion so that his enemy has less time to adapt to Prince of Macedons formation and to minimize casulties from missile fire from his enemys archers.<br /> <br /> He then flank his opponent with ligth cavalry to lure the enemy cavalry away and then attack them from behind with heavy cavalry to gain the edge that cavalry bring to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> This tactic is copied from Alexander the greats tactic of luring the enemy cavalry away to allow his heavy cavalry to gain a better position on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Watch the movie alexander in the battle of Gagumela same tactic.<br /> <br /> He then make a flanking action with some Royal pikemen to free up his cavalry for rear attacks and to prevent his opponent to make a new batteline further behind.<br /> <br /> When his infantry units that made the flanking action has engaged his opponent infantry in the flanks he crashes with his cavalry against the enemy archer to lower the enemys troops morale making them rout and to massacre their numbers so that Prince of Macedon has an overvhelming superiority in numbers and quality.<br /> <br /> ===How to win on the battlefield===<br /> Use troops in the manner they are supposed to do know the strenghts and weaknesses of each unit for example peltast runs out of ammo and dont kill as many enemy troops than the number of the peltast unit itself brings to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Archers with long range and armour will kill 5 times their own number if properly protected and used let some archers fire at cavalry and close combat infanry while others kill other archers.<br /> <br /> Make a good battleline from the start and keep reserves in place.<br /> <br /> If your infantry is better than your opponent no infantry melee reserves is needed but place 2 heavy cavalry behind the center to exploit the gap that will emerge when your infantry rout the enemys but remeber keep flanks safe!<br /> <br /> Have both light and heavy cavalry.Light cavalry lures the enemy cavalry away and when your cavalry charges the enemys back you charge in with the light cavalry.<br /> <br /> Use terrain and weather to your advantage.<br /> <br /> Attack enemy flanks and rear the reason for this is obvious a unit is strongest and has the higest number of fighting men at the front in a line but the line has an end and the tropps behind the figthing line of the first rows are there to fill any gap caused by casulties.<br /> <br /> That is why the amount of soldiers in the end of a line has only as many soldiers on the flanks as in how deep your line is and if that flank faces the front of an enemy unit that unit that is attacked from the flank will break a lot faster amd with higer casulties on the player that didnt flank but was flanked himself.<br /> <br /> Always make a balanced line never make your line too thin or too deep.<br /> If a line is too thin then the casulties will leave a gap that the enemy can exploit.<br /> A too deep formation will decrease the number of troops that can fight at the same time and also make your formation vulnerable to flanking actions.<br /> <br /> Never attack an enemy flank if enemy cavalry is nearby because if you dont react and control your inpulses than the enemy cavalry will attack your cavalrys rear and annihilate it.<br /> <br /> ===Common misstakes an Rtw player does online:===<br /> <br /> Most players never bring light cavalry to the battlefield because they assume heavy cavalry is better in a way that is true but remeber that light and heavy cavalry have diffrent roles.<br /> Light cavalry can choose when to figth but a heavy cavalry cant do that against light cavalry.<br /> <br /> By bringing more ligth cavalry to the battlefield the melee type they can give you that advantage in mobility that your heavy cavalry can exploit with devestating affect.<br /> <br /> Many players when they see that they have greater number of cavalry especially heavy they immidietly charge with the cavalry with the opposite results than the player expects just because the enemy cavalry attacks from the rear and flanks and massacre the routing players heavy cavalry just because they arent fast enought to get away.<br /> <br /> Always have an anvil before deliver the hammer!<br /> <br /> Now play Rtw online with greater knowledge and better skill!</div>

where the cavalry has a desisive role.<br /> <br /> He likes to use light cavalry against heavy cavalry just because if the enemy heavy cavalry purues well then that cavalry is wasting time and also

that didnt flank but was flanked himself.<br /> <br /> Always make a balanced line never make your line too thin or too deep.<br /> If a line is too thin then the casulties will leave a gap that the enemy can exploit.<br /> A too deep formation will decrease the number of troops that can fight at the same time and also make your formation vulnerable to flanking actions.<br /> <br /> Never attack an enemy flank if enemy cavalry is nearby because if you dont react and control your inpulses than the enemy cavalry will attack your cavalrys rear and annihilate it.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Common

units from afar while the normal archers takes care of enemy missile troops.<br /> <br /> ===Formations Prince uses ===<br /> Princes batte line is usally as with so many players with the infantry in the center.<br /> The flanks are evenly distributed with both light and heavy cavalry.<br /> And normal archers behind the royal pikemen and further to the back Creatan archers.<br /> <br /> ===The battle starts...===<br /> Prince of Macedon starts running towards his opponent in an ordered fashion so that his enemy has less time to adapt to Prince of Macedons formation and to minimize casulties from missile fire from his enemys archers.<br /> <br /> He then flank his opponent with ligth cavalry to lure the enemy cavalry away and then attack them from behind with heavy cavalry to gain the edge that cavalry bring to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> This tactic is copied from Alexander the greats tactic of luring the enemy cavalry away to allow his heavy cavalry to gain a better position on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Watch the movie alexander in the battle of Gagumela same tactic.<br /> <br /> He then make a flanking action with some Royal pikemen to free up his cavalry for rear attacks and to prevent his opponent to make a new batteline further behind.<br /> <br /> When his infantry units that made the flanking action has engaged his opponent infantry in the flanks he crashes with his cavalry against the enemy archer to lower the enemys troops morale making them rout and to massacre their numbers so that Prince of Macedon has an overvhelming superiority in numbers and quality.<br /> <br /> ===How to win on the battlefield===<br /> Use troops in the manner they are supposed to do know the strenghts and weaknesses of each unit for example peltast runs out of ammo and dont kill as many enemy troops than the number of the peltast unit itself brings to the battlefield.<br /> <br /> Archers with long range and armour will kill 5 times their own number if properly protected and used let some archers fire at cavalry and close combat infanry while others kill other archers.<br /> <br /> Make a good battleline from the start and keep reserves in place.<br /> <br /> Have both light and heavy cavalry.Light cavalry lures the enemy cavalry away and when your cavalry charges the enemys back you charge in with the light cavalry.<br /> <br /> Use terrain and weather to your advantage.<br /> <br /> Attack enemy flanks and rear the reason for this is obvious a unit is strongest and has the higest number of fighting men at the front in a line but the line has an end and the tropps behind the figthing line of the first rows are there to fill any gap caused by casulties.<br /> <br /> That is why the amount of soldiers in the end of a line has only as many soldiers on the flanks as in how deep your line is and if that flank faces the front of an enemy unit that unit that is attacked from the flank will break a lot faster amd with higer casulties on the player that didnt flank but was flanked himself.<br /> <br /> Always make a balanced line never make your line too thin or too deep.<br /> If a line is too thin then the casulties will leave a gap that the enemy can exploit.<br /> A too deep formation will decrease the number of troops that can fight at the same time and also make your formation vulnerable to flanking actions.<br /> <br /> Never attack an enemy flank if enemy cavalry is nearby because if you dont react and control your inpulses than the enemy cavalry will attack your cavalrys rear and annihilate it.<br /> <br /> <br /> ======Common misstakes an Rtw player does online===<br /> Most players never bring light cavalry to the battlefield because they assume heavy cavalry is better in a way that is true but remeber that light and heavy cavalry have diffrent roles.<br /> Light cavalry can choose when to figth but a heavy cavalry cant do that against light cavalry.<br /> <br /> By bringing more ligth cavalry to the battlefield the melee type they can give you that advantage in mobility that your heavy cavalry can exploit with devestating affect.<br /> <br /> Many players when they see that they have greater number of cavalry especially heavy they immidietly charge with the cavalry with the opposite results than the player expects just because the enemy cavalry attacks from the rear and flanks and massacre the routing players heavy cavalry just because they arent fast enought to get away.<br /> <br /> Always have an anvil before deliver the hammer!</div>

<p>81.227.49.148: /* Some Strategy and Information */</p> <hr /> <div>{{FactionDetails}}<br /> <br /> ==Some Strategy and Information==<br /> <br /> ====Unique Units====<br /> [[Image:Persiancavalrybruti.JPG|thumb]]<br /> Parthia has two completely unique units that no other faction has.<br /> <br /> The first of these units is Persian Cavalry. Persian Cavalry is a horse archer unit with long-range and melee capability. They can shoot their enemies at a distance or be used as light sword-armed cavalry. They also have the Cantabrian Circle ability allowing them to circle in front of an enemy to avoid missile fire.<br /> <br /> The next special and unique unit is the Camel Cataphract. The camel cataphract is like it's armoured counterpart but with camels instead of horses. Having camels allows these particular cataphracts to pack an armoured punch and also fight other cavalry due to camels, which scare horses.<br /> <br /> ====Strategy====<br /> <br /> [[Image:Parthianarmy.JPG|thumb|Persian cavalry, cataphracts and war elephants are the perfect Parthian mix]]<br /> A good Parthian strategy should be to conquer the eastern part of the Seleucid Empire, and Armenia. Take out Armenia fast!!!! Capturing the Caspian Sea would be great for trade as well. Their armies would rely on Heavy Cavalry (Cataphracts), and Horse Archers.<br /> <br /> You can also use your weak infantry in a role that it is ment to be used in absorving arrows in order to protect foot archers while you crush the enemy flank and rear with catafranks and missile fire.<br /> <br /> do this by having your eastern infantry in loose formation and you can place 2 foot archer in that formation but as it already been said only bring few infantry units and dont allow them to enter melee.<br /> <br /> Sound strange but this will allow you too shoot them in the rear with horsearchers for a longer time as well as creating an even bigger gap in the enemy formation.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Parthian_Empire.JPG|thumb|Parthian Empire]]<br /> <br /> ====History====<br /> <br /> *[http://www.allempires.com/article/index.php?q=war_roman_parthian Rome and Parthia at War]- Article on All Empires<br /> *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthia Parthia] - Article on Wikipedia<br /> [[User:Augustus Lucifer|Augustus Lucifer]] 08:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)</div>

<p>81.227.49.148: /* How to fight the romans in a field battle */</p> <hr /> <div>===So you wish to figth the romans as Macedon?===<br /> This task will not be easy sence 4 factions are romans and are loyal brothers in arms to other romans.<br /> Fist we must take a look at your Kingdom.<br /> <br /> Your Kingdom is fairly rich but has a weakness in infantry compared to Hoplites in the early stages but you have the best light cavalry in the world along with good heavy cavalry in the beginning.<br /> <br /> First you must build up baracks at your capital so that you have decent infantry that can delay your opponent long enough for your cavalry to hammer and anvil your opponents to the death.<br /> <br /> Indeed stay calm and prepare for your mission never rush to a war against a opponent that you know little about!<br /> <br /> First before the great war begins we must secure our flanks so Athen must be taken first build up baracks so you can replace your losses.<br /> <br /> This is because you will need experience in street battles so that you can keep going with momentum and strenght.<br /> <br /> Once you have retrained your good infantry and cavalry Sparta is next.<br /> Here you will face superior infantry that exells in bottlenecks but only in bottlenecks.<br /> Even spartans are vulnerble for flank and rear attacks.<br /> <br /> So lets starve them and force them to sally their infantry and cavalry will be devided and a massive infantry assault against the gates will rout any unit that goes through that gate just remember to attack both flanks and the fronts to massacre them and then withdraw a little bit now repeat!<br /> <br /> The reason you should do this is that the computer only sends 1 infantry unit out from the city at a time in order to stay organised to crush them before they are ready will greatly minimise casulties.<br /> <br /> If they do not sally congratulations you have gained a city without bloodshed but blood is requied so exterminate and then uppgrade baracks if they havent already!<br /> <br /> ===Whats going on with the romans?===<br /> We dont know we must send spies to inform us on what they are doing sence we dont use cheats we fight with honur!<br /> <br /> The Julii is problably establishing a powerbase in italy and prepares for a war against the Gaullic towns that borders them the. Julii never attacks without first building up economic and military buildings so they have a balance of troops and a good steady income just in case!<br /> <br /> The Brutii well they are expanding into Greece and lets 2 small towns taste the benefit of roman rule after that Thermon is their next prey!<br /> <br /> Why?Because the Julii have by now captured Patavium and by capturing Thermon the Roman factions gets an increased income by sea trade along with tax and other money making things!<br /> <br /> The Brutii worship war and has experienced troops from the beginning but no established military buildings it will take some time to get those buildings and then produce units but once they have started they will not stop untill they are the masters of the world.<br /> <br /> The Scipii has captured Syracuse and with it all Roman factions gets more income by sea trade and soon Lilybaeum will fall with more sea trade to the romans.<br /> <br /> == The Roman way of war ==<br /> The roman figths with swords and javelins they are more flexible and mobile than a fhalanx unit.<br /> The romans know that a fhalanx head on is virtuallly invulnerble so they are going to outflank you with heavy infantry along with cavalry to break your cavalry that is the decisive arm of your army.<br /> <br /> They will then attack your fhalanx units from the rear and flanks sence your sarissas will not be effektive anywhere but from the front and sence their lenght and the ability that 5 rows can figth in the same time also is a protektion your troops will die like flies from these attacks if your not ready!<br /> <br /> In the center they will count on that their generals inspiration shall keep their center units from breaking.<br /> <br /> ===How do we counter this?===<br /> First we must know our strength and that is that Phalanx pikemen can beat swordsmen head on!<br /> We must use this to our advantage by allowing the romans to attack our cities as long as those cities has 4 phalanx pikemen along with 2 archer units and a light lancer.<br /> <br /> Just be careful and watch that pikewall kill anything in front of it.<br /> City streets are ideal for defending pikemen sence they cannot be flanked if some of your pikemen switch to swords immideatly press halt and your unit will switch back to spear and while your enemy with swords keep on fighting your troops will stand fresh your enemy exhausted and when in a street your enemy breaks send the light lancers and kill them but stay out of the tower range and pull back your cavalry to the city center and repeat.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile you besige their big empty cities with minimal losses soon Brutii will be viped out!<br /> <br /> <br /> ===How to fight the romans in a field battle===<br /> Phalanx pikemen in the center along with heavy cavalry behind them.<br /> Rear Guard of Phalanx pikemen but ideally royal pikemen to support the light cavalry on the flanks.<br /> And archers to weaken the enemys missile support and 2 units of Onagers.<br /> <br /> The majority of your troops should be phalanx pikemen so more enemy units routs and less enemy troops will be able to outflank and envelop your units.<br /> <br /> Exploit the vast gap that the enemy leave in the center who says that cavalry should attack only from the flanks then hammer and anvil the enemys left or rigth flank with all your heavy cavalry to make them rout let 2 light lancer units that is on your flank taked down the most important enemy units and rush to the next flank with the rest of your units.<br /> <br /> ===Why this formation and its purphase===<br /> As you know the phalanx pikemen are not supposed to be the desisive arm but sence 5 rows can fight at the same time they will crush any swordsmen from the front along with the enemy general when they rout kill their combat effectiveness by reducing their numbers from 160 to 15 men in a unit.<br /> Royal pikemen has shorther spears but that makes them more flexibe and they have a bigger shield the light cavalry should lure the enemy cavalry into the spears and then you turn and hammer and anvil them from behind and if possible flanks the enemy cavalry is know dead!<br /> The onagers are there in order to kill heavy cavalry from afar and reducing this dangerous threat from bodyguards with 2 hp.<br /> <br /> Now mop up and kill all enemy family members on the battlefield kill all infantry that are on the field simply kill everything.<br /> <br /> The better troops of the enemy is on the field sence the weak has routed from the start these losses this Roman faction will never recover.<br /> <br /> ===What to do next===<br /> Congratulations Brutii is viped out only 3 strong roman factions to go.<br /> Syracuse is your next target and will deny its resourses to the romans while reinforcing your own.<br /> <br /> When you have the island under your control we must send diplomats to scout ahead of our army take the small island now Scipii has a severly limited income.<br /> <br /> Mass produce 2 fleets composing 10 trimenes in each now the romans are isolated.<br /> This will hinder the roman expansion plan.</div>

Julii never attacks without first building up economic and military buildings so they have a balance of troops and a good steady income just in case!<br /> <br /> The Brutii well they are expanding into Greece and lets 2 small towns taste the benefit of roman rule after that Thermon is their next prey!<br /> <br /> Why?Because the Julii have by know captured Patavium and by capturing Thermon the Roman factions gets an increased income by sea trade along with tax and other money making things!<br /> <br /> The Brutii worship war and has experienced troops from the beginning but no established military buildings it will take some time to get those buildings and then produce units but once they have started they will not stop untill they are the masters of the world.<br /> <br /> The Scipii has captured Syracuse and with it all Roman factions gets more income by sea trade and soon Lilybaeum will fall with more sea trade to the romans.<br /> <br /> == The Roman way of war ==<br /> The roman figths with swords and javelins they are more flexible and mobile than a fhalanx unit.<br /> The romans know that a fhalanx head on is virtuallly invulnerble so they are going to outflank you with heavy infantry along with cavalry to break your cavalry that is the decisive arm of your army.<br /> <br /> They will then attack your fhalanx units from the rear and flanks sence your sarissas will not be effektive anywhere but from the front and sence their lenght and the ability that 5 rows can figth in the same time also is a protektion your troops will die like flies from these attacks if your not ready!<br /> <br /> In the center they will count on that their generals inspiration shall keep their center units from breaking.</div>
