Let's Play - Rome: Total War - The Seleucid Empire - Episode 46

[niknight99]

You really should consider retreating from the encampment outside Lepsis Magna seeing as you have no reinforcements coming to aid you , the last victory you gained did little to no damage to the enemy army's power and you lost two of the main assets that helped you to gain a victory there in the first place. Also love the links between videos, makes life so much easier.

@niknight99 I have three Egyptian cities capable of creating silver shields and (I think) cataphracts. If I need reinforcements, I can take them. Also that if I allow them to siege me, I can easily win against pre-marian romans if I stay inside the fort.

[niknight99]

@WishMasterPtolemy True, but who will lead the army and also we have seen that the Scipii like to just besiege and not assault.

Ptolemy, why is it that you like thrace so much?

[WishMasterPtolemy]

@SH4RPSHOTZ They're one of my favourite multiplayer factions. People always underestimate Thrace online. They have decent phalanx pikemen, their archers are just as good as any other faction (barring auxillia, forresters or cretans) and the bastarnae are great.

[SH4RPSHOTZ]

@WishMasterPtolemy I see. A lot of my friends think thrace is one of the worst multiplayer factions, but they don't seem bad judging from your description.

[WishMasterPtolemy]

@SH4RPSHOTZ The higher money you go, the worse they become. Because I play at 10k, almost every faction is usable. Thrace does lack in heavy cavalry, although you could use generals bodyguards. But Spain also has no heavy cavalry, and they lack phalanxes *and* archers. Spain are the worst multiplayer faction in the game, undoubtedly.
