@@truffelnootjeNever had this problem lol sounds like a problem on your side look if all your mods and the game are the last version and if your mods are in the correct loading order i have 4 (the max you can get as AoR) of them running around in my roman armys right now
@@Immersaholic bit late, but, they disappear at certain reform levels, not sure if its thorax global reforms or marian/imperial reforms from rome itself.
From Nomadic Steppes must have are: Roxolanoi Haploi (Roxolani Levies) (max 8) and Paya Hinam Dunai Purma (Subeshi Archers) (max 8) . Both are very good even after last reform. From Gedrosia, Aria & Bactria: Thureophoroi Indohellenikoi (Indo-Hellenic Thureos Spears) (max 4) and Kamboja Asvaka Ksatriya (Indo-Iranian Light Cavalry) (max 6) are awesome. Dhanurdhara (Indian Longbowmen) (max 4) are like Subeshi Archers. But are much better in melee.
Agreed, Indo-Iranian Light Cav are disgusting, they can 1v1 much heavier cav and crush shock cav if they don't get charged. Have taken out a parthian general unit with them.
This was really helpful! I appreciate you doing this, I hadn’t appreciated a few of these before. Maybe you could do a top 10 mercenaries in the future?
My favourite AoR unit has to be the Apulii extraordinarii. Beautiful armour/shields, staggeringly high melee defense for a sword unit, and an interesting bonus vs. infantry of 2. Quite mediocre melee attack of 11, which makes them a slower killing machine than some other assault troops; but their durability is not to be underestimated. As Epirus, I used them as a hybrid attack/defense force on the left flank of my phalanx, who would absorb and repel flanking enemy infantry, before mounting their own flanking manoeuvre on the enemy line with the support of agrianian peltasts and shock cavalry.
I like to get 300 man mercs or AoR units that are decent. Just to pump my numbers up. The sica bearers, I believe?, from illiyria have really high attack but low armor
do you know why i can no longer recruit apulian heavy infantry ? i was able to have them in my early armies but after some time it says "different type of reform needed" that was after some further development of my faction and highest level of reforms already reached ... am i actually only able to have them in early game with low tier reforms ? i play as massalia . also after i captured some steppe regions i was able to recruit 4 cataphracts , but i only recruited 3 (wanted to have 1 unit available to recruit later) but they actually completely disapeared from the recruitment roster - why is this so ?
God this is USEFUL, on the dei site it tends to show wrong info... for example it says that sarmantian cataphracts are recruited on suebia/all germanic provinces but i got just 4 of them on LUGIA, FUCKING LUGIA DUDE! Also i need to get MORE, can you do a guide on how to get those as western factions?
I just got a good amount as Rome by leaving the nomadic main building so I can recruit cataphracts then I converted to a Roman main building and I could recruit the romanized version of cataracts. That’s probably only possible with Rome tho I’m not sure
@@poutykeiki2574 yea maybe it was nomads who had that area and so once you converted it you couldn’t recruit them anymore or possibly it was mercs you got there. I haven’t been into the German areas of the map for while tbh
Lmfao me over not knowing that the baleric slingers exist 😂. Thank you for this btw. I’ve played hundreds or hours and I never really understood Auxiliaries.
Great guide as always my man! Question: I'm playing as Rome and currently in Marian Reform, like turn 125, with Taras level 3 but I can't recruit Apulian Heavy Infantry. Is it bugged or locked behind Imperial Reform? Suggestion for video: Roman Auxiliary Units, best/worst etc. For someone new (like me) neither me nor my mother knew about Belearic Slingers for example ;)
Thanks very much mate! Those Apulian troops may be locked behind a reform for you. Although I thought they were an early game unit, early game units get left behind after some reforms occasionally so that may be the reason. I’m honestly not sure why you can’t see them. You might have to check the yellow immigrant building chain if you don’t see it in your main town center building Thank you for the suggestions too!
Can you do a vid about building effects. Like sometimes i leave buildings of a different culture in a town I take and i can still recruit units and I get the effects seemingly. Recently I took part of sarmatia as Rome. I left the main building as nomadic so I could regular sarmatian cataphracts then once I reached the limit like 5 or 6 units I converted over to a Roman village so I recruit more of cataphracts but these were (romanized) with slightly worse stats but still good. So I could fill out more than 2 armies cav component with cataphracts. Then I converted to a Roman kingdom and had my Rex return to Rome and he got a Triumph lol.
I can definitely try to cover the noteable effects. There are thousands for effects so I couldn’t cover them all but at least unique ones or a general guide
@@Immersaholic yea like the mechanics possibly, idk I was just confused because the little alert thing on buildings of a different culture say you won’t get the effects or something but they still seem to provide food or happiness or whatever the building is. I think they increase the old culture population tho rather than your own so that is a negative
Absolutely! Some of the big outstanding ones would be Thessalian cav, Tarentum cav, and then of course the Scythian horse archers of the east. In Anatolia you have some amazing Capadocian shock cavalry as well.
there used to be some amazing cathaprhact horse archers and heavy melee cav in armenia back in the days too (mercs also), median heavy melee cav (persian provinces) is also amazing to counter cathaphracs/heavy horse archers in the region too
And the most important thing was not aired in you guide. AoR units are drawn from Foreigner's pool of inhabitants. These units must be the ones who are suffering the most casualties in your offensive battles. So these units are in those armies, who are at the tip of your spear, getting you new provinces. Usually on turn 2 after capturing a region these armies get some replenishments.
*solved* ROME2 update - broken .exe Hows everyone playing DEI at the moment? Ive been using the ROME2 launcher but its not working atm. Load straight into an unmodded game
played DEI just one hour ago with all mods and the game on the newest version sounds like you broke it Do a wipe and complete reinstall of the game and your mods sorry :(
Thank for everyones input. I was able to fix by verifying files and changing the launch options. It wasn't a compatibility issue but the launcher itself disabling the option to use mods in ROME2

Wow! It's was just days ago this was requested! Your on fire
Great Video! Maybe supply system?
@@michal2547 I may, I know the DEI team posted their on guide on it but I could also focus on tips for you all :)
kartli
Maybe a startguide for some factions?
Averni for example😅
Love these kinds of guides going over game mechanics!
Thanks mate :) Hope they help!
Crossbows of Syracus! 👀
YES AND HOW TO GET THEM! As rome… their there one turn and next turn their gone!

For sure, although they were slightly nerfed since they shoot extremely slowly now

Still OP Unit @@Immersaholic..
I utterly decimate the enemy missile units leaving the battlefield open to cav rear attacks on the mainline.
Fantastic! You are the one and only one DEI UA-camr I like,keep up the good work!❤❤❤

Awesome work!
Thanks very much!
great guide very useful
Great viewer right here 😜
you have forgotten the scordisci heavy infantry for the tier 3 of the capital town of the panonie region
No I didn’t. There are only 6 aor units in the whole game 🤪
They’re pretty good but nothing too special

Very nice unit for sure! I like their axemen that is a merc unit
do you know why i can no longer recruit apulian heavy infantry ?
i was able to have them in my early armies but after some time it says "different type of reform needed"
that was after some further development of my faction and highest level of reforms already reached ...
am i actually only able to have them in early game with low tier reforms ?
i play as massalia . also after i captured some steppe regions i was able to recruit 4 cataphracts , but i only recruited 3 (wanted to have 1 unit available to recruit later)
but they actually completely disapeared from the recruitment roster - why is this so ?

What is a mod for unit abilities icons? In my DeI game all icons are black and white.
Oh thats what that marker means
Currently playing Hayk. Can't recruit my units from tier w barracks. My culture is majority. Anyone able to tell me wtf is going on?
You may not have researched or reached the correct reform level for that specific unit
Is there any interesting AOR cavalry?
Absolutely! Some of the big outstanding ones would be Thessalian cav, Tarentum cav, and then of course the Scythian horse archers of the east. In Anatolia you have some amazing Capadocian shock cavalry as well.

Why would you ever be able to recruit Illergetan units in Lusitania? That's ridiculous. There were never any Iberians there, much less Illergetans.
YO!!! You forgot the (insert unit name here) which is my favourite AOR unit in the game!!! Insta dislike! 🤪
No one cares about the aor danish unit, the Toxborgian Plebian Falxmen
