Total war rome 2 beginner faction upgrade#

Don't upgrade your markets in any town other than those 5 rich ones, it's generally not worth it for the food cost. They'll automatically increase the money made there by a significant amount. To maximize your money making, build markets in your especially rich towns and order a Metsuke agent to sit in the town. Certain buildings also consume food so be careful. Research the encampment and upgrade that in those cities so you can upgrade their armor/attack, ranged accuracy, or charge even more.ĭon't neglect your food resource, each town has farm that will give you one more food for each upgrade, and upgrading your cities so you can build more buildings consumes that food. Train your cavalry somewhere with stables so they have an extra charge bonus. Train your ranged units somewhere with a fletcher so you can upgrade their accuracy. Train your elite melee troops somewhere with a blacksmith so you can upgrade with their armor or attack depending on your preference.

Train samurai units once you've gotten more money and territory.ĭifferent areas have different specialties. Use lots of Yari Ashigaru early, make sure you put them into their Yari Wall formation, they're very strong then. Both areas are very defensible, so you can worry about the rest after that. As the Shimazu, take over Kyushu and go for Shikoku next. As Chosokabe, take over your starting island of Shikoku and take over Kyushu next, you'll basically have every specialty resource at that point. The easiest starting clans for a newbie are the Chosokabe and the Shimazu.
