I've just installed Rome Remastered, the original was easily my favourite game when I was younger.

What are your favourite battle tactics when attacking and defending in open battles and sieges for each faction?

For example, when playing as the early Romans vs Gaul and other factions that have huge stacks of warbands, I often find I have a smaller army of mostly hastatii - I often win these battles, but what's the best tactic in this situation? Walk the hastatii up and hurl all the javelins you can then play defensively (guard mode) and wait for the warbands to tire and break / flank them with cavalry if you have any?

And during sieges, what's your move? Flaming arrows on the walls to set fire to the rams and concentrate the enemy into fewer choke points?

How outnumbered do you have to be before you just sit it out in the town square?

Tell me your favourite tactics!

I've been pretty much insta-buy on every dlc that came out since I started playing, starting with Taurox's dlc, and this is the first one I'm gonna sit out I think.

Pricing for chorfs could at least be argued but the math for Shadows of Change pricing just doesn't add up. Especially for other regions.

Any thoughts on a favorite unit in particular?

Hello to any Total War Fans stopping by the community. I am a reddit refugee that wanted a new place to talk about the Total War series, so I created one! I am not experienced when it comes to moderating and, to be honest, I was more of a lurker when it came to the subreddit. So, if anyone else feels comfortable moderating this community and wants to take over then let me know. Otherwise just be nice, keep things Total War focused, and have a nice time!
