They're all honestly kind of meh.

I guess I'd put the Hulk ones somewhere at the bottom and the Iron man ones somewhere at the top and the Thor ones don't even factor in to it because Thor's beard is pitiful.

Guardians of the Galaxy was alright, though the ending was kind of cringey.
So when you saw Thor in theaters the first second you saw his beard you got up and left the theater in a fit

No, I never saw them in the cinema.

Is there a "God's Not Real" trope? Anyway, this is cool, mate.

I think it would fall under a parody of the Hollywood Athiest trope.

Help me out.

Alright, I hope the context I'm assuming this is in is the actual context, and not something else, I'll try and whip up a quick character sheet for Cheat, and anyone else I can be bothered to do it for.

Cheat
Ambiguous Gender: Dude looks like a lady.

Asskicking Equals Authority: Or at least as close as one can come to it on an internet forum. Noted pedophile Alakazam said some nasty things about Cheat's forum, which Cheat caught wind of. So he decided to change all the images on Alakazam's forum to pictures of Rick Astley and have it play "Never Gonna Give You Up" on repeat. Apparently Alakazam couldn't fix it on his own and had to hire help.

Hollywood Athiest: Parodied. Probably. Cheat has made a habit of telling one-time, Monitor and devout Christian Rocketman287, that "god's not real". However, since he doesn't do this to any of the other Christians on the forum, we can assume that this is just friendly teasing. Probably.

Oh and one more thing, can anyone give me a brief overview of the DLC? The humble bundle came with all of the expansion packs included, so I have access to all of them. Should I still just play a grand campaign first? Does the DLC add anything to that general grand campaign, or are they completely separate? Should I play one of those instead?

Caesar in Gaul is pretty much what it says on the tin. You play as the Romans, or some of the Gallic factions, and there may be a Germanic one, the map is covers just France, I think.

Hannibal at the Gates is set in the early days of the Roman Empire. You can play as Rome, Carthage, and I think a coupe of Iberian factions. The map covers the Western half of the Mediterranean.

Wrath of Sparta is set during the Peloponnesian War. You can play as Sparta, Athens, Corinth, or the Boeotian League. The map covers Greece, some of the Balkans, some of the Black sea, and the Western tip of the Anatolian peninsula.

I think the rest are faction DLCs, which you can get a good idea of by looking at the grand campaign faction screen and through the custom battles faction unit rosters.
Do any of these somehow tie into a grand campaign? As in, do these factions / maps / new units / buildings get added to the massive main map or are they completely stand-alone?

Also just realised that apparently the Hannibal one was not included in the Humble Bundle. Oh well.

I think some o them do, like the Hannibal one added a couple of Iberian factions to the Grand Campaign. I'm not so sure about the units, though it's a possibility.

However, I did forget one, which you probably should have gotten with the game, the Imperator Augustus campaign, which is set during Augustus's lifetime and you can play as one of four parts of the Roman Empire, or a couple other factions not yet a part of it. I think it's map is more or less the same as that of the Grand Campaign.

He's only talked about for never losing, which is amazing in itself.


Although it probably helped that he was rampaging around an empire that was past it's prime. If I recall correctly, his biggest challenge on the battlefield was Memnon of Rhodes.
I wouldn't know. I can't say I know an incredible amount about his battlefield exploits. I do know though that the Phalanx was still a new concept, so the fact he used it so well meant none could really figure out how to beat it.

I think it was just the use of the sarissa pike in the phalanx that was new, since the phalanx was used in the the battles of Marathon and Thermopylae against the persians.

I have a personal love for the Sparta faction <_<  Just make peace with Athens and steamroll Epirus to start off with.
My friend hates Sparta because he's wet for Makedon and Alexander-senpai,

I feel like Macedon is a crappier version of Egypt.
But Alexander-senpai~



That fuck really split Greece. They never did form an empire after that and thus the ROMANS came and took em over.

I don't think he wanted to really. I reckon he was mostly in it for the glory, and that he would have made a better general than an emperor. Perhaps if he'd made it past his thirties, he might have given some thought to ensuring that everything he'd done didn't go to waste. But that neither here nor there, since his empire still probably would have been steam-rolled by the Romans once they'd started looking eastwards.

Better music

To keep it painfully short, I will say this. The music in Rome 2 (and Attila too, but it's slightly better) is horrible. The composure is an absolute joke and the music fails to make you excited, or fit the setting at all. You may THINK this is a little thing, but it's not. It makes a massive difference, and this mod helps. You have to download the music from the Dropbox as well, and then just drop the folder (don't unzip it, just the entire folder) in your Total War Rome 2 Data folder. It's very simple.

I've been needing this, thanks.

If you're playing as cavalry heavy faction, like the eastern or nomadic ones, you'll probably end up relying on the slow motion and pause buttons a fair bit during your battles. I think Pontus is the exception though, since they're very greek in their unit roster.

Hellenic factions like the Greeks and Successor kingdoms (and also, Carthage, I think) are very good for defensive tactics due to their heavy use of pike and spear units.

Pressing the spacebar during battles will show you where your units are moving and the hit zones for your ranged units.

Shock cavalry is for charging units, and is best used in a repeating cycle of charge and retreat, melee cavalry is for more sustained melee fighting, but they are not invincible and are best used for charging into the back of units stuck into it with your own infantry or hunting down ranged units and artillery.

Avoid leaving single units on their own, it's easy pickings for your enemy. Keep your melee infantry near your ranged units, and keep your cavalry moving when they're near the enemy to avoid them getting sucked into a fight with spearmen/heavy infantry.

Avoid using your general in fights unless you're losing or you're enemy has more or less lost. And do what you can to kill the your enemy's general for its heavy effect on the morale of your enemy.

Flanking and attacking units in the rear will reduce morale as well as kill the unit faster.

Pikemen are generally weaker against ranged units than spearmen, so factor that into your army makeup when your fighting people with horse archers.

"Let everyone one in love come and see.  I want to break Venus’ ribs with clubs and cripple the goddess’ loins.  If she can strike through my soft chest, then why can’t I smash her head with a club?"
