Apologies for not responding to this sooner! As ever your commitment to spectacularly well considered commentary and consideration for the modding of Rome deserves a moment or two (or a week) of thought! 😅 In short: I like much of this I would quite like to see a more powerful Seleucid Empire: perhaps seeing the likes of Pergamum and Armenia as vassals of the Seleucid's (although that would involve diplomacy being more sophisticated than it is in Rome). I do in particular like the obstacles to Rome idea - a few key cities or even factions putting up strong resistance to rome would be particularly interesting. Honestly CA should just employ us to make Rome 3 with them.
@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH *Thanks, Thomas! Well, I'm glad you like those suggestions - I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD ON IDEA of changing the name of Armored Hoplites to "Theban sacred band".

New mercenary ideas Mercenary Pikemen: These are mercenary versions of Phalanx Pikeman. They are recruitable in Greece, Macedonia, Alexanderia, Costal regions of Anatolia, Syria, Assyria and Babylonia. Mercenary Eastern Archers: Archers with long range and decent range damage but low morale, weak melee, unarmored and have the unorganized formation of peasants. Recruitable anywhere in Asia Mercenary Thureophoroi: A highly versatile infantry unit with good melee similar to being a roman legionary but armed with a spear instead of a sword. They have pilum like javelins which they can either throw before charging or they can be set to range mode and skirmish though they are limited in the amount of javelins they can carry. They are hardy, relatively fast moving for infantry and have combat bonus against cavalry. Their only weakness that while they are capable of doing many roles they are not as good in one particular role as specialist units. They can be hired anywhere in Greece, Macedon, Costal Antolia, Syria, Assyria, Babylonia and Alexanderia Wolf Warriors: These are extremely wild men made out of outlawed warriors wearing wolf pelts that can be found anywhere in the Forests of Germania. Think of them as lite Beserkers that are relatively rare but are extremely powerful if fragile. They cause terror, armed with pilum like javelins which they can throw before charging, having very good melee stats and equipped with shields armour piercing one handed axes which allows them to make short work of any infantry unit they manage to outflank. They are also experts in hiding in forests and can hide in tall grass. They also gain combat bonuses in forests, very good stamina and have very good morale however they are impetuous and undisciplined. They are also poorly armoured and only have normal unit health meaning they are vulnerable to range attacks and cavalry charges. Mercenary Thracian Cavalry: A highly versatile medium cavalry unit. Fast moving with very good stamina which allows to chase down enemy missile units and light cavalry. They are capable of quick and very powerful charge whilst still capable of fighting in melee. They are recruitable in Macedonia, Thrace, Paionia, and Propontis. Thrace and Dacia can recruit normal units of these from level 4 stables Campanian Equites: A rather very strong and uniquely versatile heavy cavalry unit. They are heavily armoured and have very good shields they are fast enough and have decent amount of stamina to outrun most medium cavalry, good at flanking charges and quite capable in melee thanks to their armour piercing kopis shield. These are a highly versatile heavy cavalry are hirable only in south western Italian regions of Latium, Campania and Bruttium and fairly expensive in hiring costs and upkeep but they provide Roman players a good heavy cavalry unit they otherwise would lack until the Imperial era.

*Factions Rome never conquered to be made next to unconquerable:*
- provinces that were never subdued to be made UNCONQUERABLE or at least REALY hard to ocuppy (Eburacum for Britons; Bordesholm, Vicus Gothi, Vicus Marcomannii for Germans; Campus Sakae, Campus Alanni, Campus Sarmatae for Scythians; Susa, Arsakia for Parthians) with best defensive architecture and other means...
- those factions to moded to strive for most powerful defensive units on their desposal instead of attacking ones
- Pontus, Carthage, Macedonia strenghtened since they were Romes hard enemies
*Rome:*
- all 3 family factions Banners to be changed to golden eagle, just on different colour
- 3 family factions to be changed into those of roman civil war when Cesar, Pompey and who was the third clashed (so we could play REAL civil war!)
- or we should go for simplification - all 3 Roman factions merged into 1 with golden eagle on red colour and family names kept... and then all settlements except Rome raised to low level and best units to be made expensive to buy to hendicap Rome
*Other:*
- Barca family (Hamilcar, Hannibal, Hazdrubal, Mago) and Maharbal is a MUST
- Banners change: besides Rome all to eagle change, Macedonia needs some sun, Greeks need to get Macedonian red Lambda on gold, Parthians ned flying lion, Carthage also changed if possible and maybe Numidian eye to Egypt
- names of factions: Republic of Rome, The Ptolemaic Empire, The Greek City-States, The Kingdom Of Armenia, Gallic tribes, Germanic tribes, Celtic/Britannic tribes, Iberian tribes, The Kingdom Of Pontus, The Republic of Carthage/Kart Haddasht, The Kingdom Of Macedon, Dacian tribes
- build up Sparta so they can have Spartans, make them cheap, make basic unit at least 100 men, if they actually had armour on them historically give them those, maybe even change name from „Spartan Hoplites“ into „Spartan Pentecostys”
- change name of „Armoured Hoplites“ into „Sacred Band of Thebes”
- make Egypt weaker or Mod it into not conquering mode
- erase Numidian faction (they were just tribes anyway, never regular State)
- if it is possible, remove the FACTION DESTROYED by bankrupcy option
- if it is possible, remove the DESTROY NATION option (occupation instead)
- mode factions relations with neighbours and make them have at least 1 settlement VERY HARD to take so they can last untill Rome comes
- find out if Parthians kept „Immortals“ like their predecessors and make them if they did out of Eastern Infantry

This would make for a great vanilla-like mod!
Enjoyed the ending in particular! Nice job!
I remember when you only had 30 subs great stuff bro
Delighted to still have you on the channel! There's a proper comment section and little community going now. It's quite lovely.
@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH is there any way i can change my rome total war game into your map in your roleplay rome campaign?
Any way to make the mercenaries refillable?
Almost second xD
iPad version player crying lol
Sad indeed. But if i had Rome on my phone or ipad I would never get any work done. Too dangerous! 😂
Almost first
you deserve MUCH more subs, excelent quality content mate
Much appreciated!
I only here to make spawn the elephant mecernaries more common than a shiny pokemon or something else.

Doing a mod right now that adds tons of mercenaries (all vanilla), will be soon on the workshop for remastered.
Some great ideas here - I'm particularly fond of the cheap eastern archers for some reason. 😅
Can you make a tutorial to bring back Yubstebs into the game?
How did I miss this comment!? Yes, I think I can do that fairly simply actually... I have a hunch anyway!
