How to play as the Western Roman Empire

After playing the Western Roman Empire and brutally losing, the Eastern Roman Empire was so refreshing and much more "balanced". Like it had the perfect level of difficulty. It was especially easier to get the economy under control and actually make good money. The borders were also better although the Sassanids were a big problem. I guess with the ERE it was a race against time to get your shit together before the collapse of the WRE so you're ready when attention turns towards you.

Honorius : "what sort of maniac start a seabound invasion at 3 AM?"




Hengist : "OH BOY! 3 AM!"

I just delete all my settlements and restart anew at roma lol
like that u can also change the capital to rome!

Hhh man this is so fun to watch

Emperor Flavour Flav my boi, you got these burden things down!

The burden of military and civil maintenance is a difficult thing to acquire a taste for. But a necessary thing.

People who don’t play Total War don’t understand just how based this is.

The music when you play as west rome really adds the sweat to your anxiety

This version of Honorius: "Acquires the taste for BURDEN OF MILITARY AND CIVIL MAINTENANCE!"

Real life Honorius: "I don't care that the Visigoths sacked Rome, I have a more pressing matter......tending for my chicken!"

isn'tincreasing taxes better because you don't deal with immigrant public order issues after 9-10 turns, for me it went from -9 to -1

Fun fact: Nobody is actually ready when the HUNS knock on your border

Unfortunately for History, Honorius was never ready. Hell, he was the opposite of ready

WRE is a challenge indeed on very hard difficulty (or legendary), but not an impossible task. It requires only patience.

As someone who has no idea what this is, I have no idea what this is

I love the Halo 3 ODST version of this meme

"man, fuck missile cavalry" he is the one.

Don’t forget the secret recipe! A classic among XCOM players.
“We won’t tell if you don’t.”

Narrator: he was not ready
