The Eastern Roman Empire are one of the playable factions in the Barbarian Invasion for Rome: Total War.

Its primary enmeny is the Sassanid Empire to the East, though Barbarian Hordes encroaching on Rome may prove a problem in Eastern Europe.

Historically, the Eastern Roman Empire survived the fall of Rome. It is playable as the Byzantine Empire in Medieval II: Total War.

Historical Overview

Formed in 395 AD, collapsed in 1453 AD.

The Eastern Roman Empire start the game as occupiers of much of Southeastern Europe, also holdiang land in Asia Minor, the Levant, and North Africa.

Hold 34 provinces including Thracia (Constantinople), Aegyptus (Alexandria), Northern Italy (Rome) and Africa (Carthage).

At the start of the game the Sassanids to the east will pose the biggest. However, you are rich and strong enough to take them out in 10 - 15 turns.

Once the Sassanids have been taken care of, invade North Africa. The WRE will have few troops here and it's four more provinces.

After that just head into Illyria et Dalmacia and Southern Italy.

The Huns and Vandals may pose some threat to you, but the ERE can survive without its European provinces.

Overall the ERE is a relatively easy faction to play as, provided you know what you are doing.
