Hope that justifies my chosing Parthia a bit clearer.Click here to set your flair! Welcome to /r/TotalWar!Ī subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. The Client states will be poor and without a decent military to defend them, pick on the ones which the Selucids break away from until you are strong enough to take them on properly.īest part is a lot of them have valuable resources like silk which will be really profitable in the long run. I think as parthia you could probably take advantage of this without much trouble, they are bound to cause issues for each other and you can sweep up some easy prey. Yes Selucids will be a strong faction but I think they will struggle early on, their client states will likely to end up declaring war on each other and creating a kind of selucid big civil war. Thank you for the map, my opinion is (i may be wrong) that I dont think the client states will be particularly challenging. Originally posted by Chaunsey:parthia is maybe tough at first, because although its true that you're backed up to the edge of the map, which allows you to isolate and defned yourself well, you start out in the shadow of the seleucids, there are a ton of seleucid client states surrounding you. To illustrate what im talking about heres the campaign map, i filled in all the seleucid regions and baktria to give you an idea of what the organized opposition to expansion in the region could look like.Īll the gray in the east is what i highlighted, also ignore the egyptian provinces, for some reason the link changed them around some even though i didnt, i only highleted the seleucids and baktria in gray. so as parthia, you have to maintain a defence from southern invasion, but your best early bet is gonna be to expand north Then you have baktria next door controlling 2 provinces. The seleucids and their client states control 7 entire provinces and about half of 2 more, thats like 30 regions. Parthia is maybe tough at first, because although its true that you're backed up to the edge of the map, which allows you to isolate and defned yourself well, you start out in the shadow of the seleucids, there are a ton of seleucid client states surrounding you. Rome and iceni are definitely good starting factions, as the iceni your isolation will make it relatively easy to conquer the whole of the british isles and build your strength to make inroads into the mainland in full strength. Originally posted by Fluffy Fishy:Parthia, Rome or Iceni are probably the best begginer factions, they have the easiest starts and can isolate themselves fairly early on.
