An appropriate example from M2TW is here where the Roman Empire at its peak is recreated. Whilst I have not seen a RTW AAR on this an example is the Roman XGM campaign where the goals are to rebuild the Roman Empire at its height. Recreate Alexander’s empire as Macedon/Seleucids (you may need Mundus Magnus for this) Find a map of an empire, work out what settlements you will need and play that faction and try to rebuild it. Historical EmpiresĪnother interesting variant is to recreate a historical empire. Whilst unfinished it still gives a good idea of how this campaign style works. Some ideas for migration defensive campaigns are:Īn example of this is General Zavier’s Western Roman Empire migration defensive campaign. I started a campaign without pre setting this and ended up capturing ten settlements before I decided to stop. One word of note: place limits on which regions you will capture and defend before the game starts. I find this one interesting because it allows you to add a challenge to factions that would be easy to play defensively normally (namely ones with good economies). This is an interesting mix between a defensive and migration campaign where you will migrate a faction to another region and then defend it as you would in a normal defensive campaign. Scythia to Italy Migration Defensive Campaigns Once you settle in a new land you just finish the campaign as normal. Migration Campaignsīasically migration campaigns move a faction from one part of the map to another. Ships cannot sail too far from your ports (optional)Īn excellent example of a defensive campaign is SubRosa’s Defensive Scythia Campaign. Spies, assassins and diplomats can move anywhere Not allowed to expand beyond your starting territories Plus late game you will have to face the Roman war train in all its might. Poor starting positions like Scythia will have economic issues through the whole game which will cripple your military. The major difficulties you will face are money, which in turn affects your military. An alternative is to play a civilised faction but only build up to a certain point of military/economic buildings. These games are typically best done with Barbarian factions because near the end game it will be your “top” troops against stacks upon stacks of Urban Cohorts, Scythed Chariots and Cataphracts (believe me, Swordsmen and Woad Warriors don’t stack up too well against these guys). Defensive Campaignsĭefensive campaigns are campaigns where you don’t expand but rather defend your borders from all comers until the end of the game at 14AD. Here are some custom campaigns you can try to add something extra to Rome: Total War. I’ve tried several campaigns with my own rules and, in my opinion, these are the ones that are the most memorable. What are Custom Campaigns?Ĭustom campaigns are campaigns where you impose certain conditions on yourself, whether that includes special objectives or self imposed rules. Now what? Try adding some house rules to your campaigns for an interesting variation. So you’ve conquered everything there is to conquer, and done it on almost every faction.
