Total War Rome 2 Beginners Guide

[Fritzi Vanderweel]

RaidHeroes: Total War is an RTS game released in May 2020, right after I stopped gaming on AG temporarily to prepare for the SAT. To be frank, this game is not beginner-friendly. I'd say that most beginners go through a difficult time before their squad has enough heroes.

Alright, let's get on to business.

1. Resources

Crystals should be the resource of utmost importance. You don't have to look very far to find out why this is so. Crystals can be used to exchange for gold and many other things. While you'll have to pay money to buy crystals. However, I strongly recommend using crystals for upgrading your heroes. Beginners often suffer from crystal shortage, hence, don't spend too many crystals on coins or cards as you can get these elsewhere. Crystals are more difficult to get than stars or coins. Raiding provides little crystals. Battling in the Arena is too risky. So the best way to get crystals is to do quests in the game. Upgrading your Crystal Mine should also be high on your to-do list. Once your Crystal Mine can generate enough crystals, you overcome a difficult period.

-Tanks

Melee units with decent health. Most of them have close quarter debuff abilities such as stun and scatter, which prevents the enemies from approaching your Core Units and Supporters. Since melee attacks can be easily interrupted when under siege, DPS is nonsense.

Priority: Health>Ability>DPS>Speed

-Core Units

Ranges units responsible for dealing damage. They are usually fragile in melee fights and will retreat if enemies get near them. (However, they can only retreat to the baseline of your side, which I think should be improved)

Priority: Ability>Health>Speed>DPS

Maybe I shall explain about it. Health is also important for these guys, especially in PVP battles. Enemy Green Arrow and Hunter have a nasty tendency to slaughter your Core units.

-Defensive Supporters

Units giving buffs to allies, such as Fairy and King. There shouldn't be too many of them on your squad, but they really count. Without them, your Tanks and Core Units could have been slain easily ?

Priority: Ability>Health>DPS>Speed

Nothing else to say. Protect them well. Put them in corners and set their speed to 0.

-Offensive Supporters

Units MAINLY used to give debuffs to enemies or distract them. Offensive Supporters are units of dubious value. They might just do nothing except creating tiny little chaos, while sometimes they can also turn the tide. Best to have them stand still.

Priority: Ability>Health>DPS>Speed

If you get stuck while raiding, start a new raid. This will help you get more cards. Thus, you can get more powerful characters. Also, enemies at the same stage change positions each time you quit and then get into it. You may start the battle when enemies are in a position which is easier for you to win.

After you have enough stars, you can explore new artifacts. There are three kinds of artifacts:

Health: Equip to Tanks.

DPS+Ability: If DPS is higher than Ability, equip them to whomever you want. If Ability is higher than DPS, equip to Core Units. If there are still spare artifacts, equip them to Supporters.

Health+DPS+Ability: Equip to those heroes who are never going to appear in the squad.

5. Miscellaneous

-Blazons can be bought from the trader with crystals.

-Traps are not very useful. Don't spend too many resources on them.

-Fighting in the Arena is a risky option, especially for beginners. Choose your opponent wisely.

-From where I stand, it'll be better to have a quit battle button during PVE fights.

-To join a clan, you may send an application to the clan leader and wait for the clan leader to accept you into the clan. Clan leaders can also invite you to join the clan. The maximum number of members in a clan is 20.

-This guide is specially written for beginners not willing to pay money to get through the grinding period. However, this is only a guide. There are a significant number of ways to master this game. Find the most suitable way for yourself.

-Failure is a common occurrence in the early stages. Be patient. Things will gradually change for the better.

This post skips over all that math, in favour of philosophy. With that in mind, this post is written for folks who are brand new to subnetting, and even potentially brand new to networking. No prior knowledge is needed to understand this post: it is a guide to subnetting, for complete beginners.

It sucks being new to a topic, looking up videos, and learning from a point where it is assumed you understand the background information of a topic. This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much

Since I get asked a lot of questions about what to do in the Cinque Terre, I created my own guide, Gigi Guides, which offers a comprehensive itinerary for the region. Use it to plan your trip.

We have booked our family trip with two kids for Italy for 7 days.

Venice 3 days

Florence/Pisa 1 day and

Rome 3 days.

Please suggest me apart of Venice which other cities I should cover.We are not very interested in visiting museum and art gallery.

hi there, planning on going to Northern italy in early august with 3 teens/tween for 10 days. flying into and out of Milan which includes venice. Can someone help me with an itinerary that includes a little bit of everything and not too taxing for the kids.

Ive visited all of the cities you listed and my advice would be: cut out a day in venice, cut out at least one day in Rome. Rome was our least favorite of all of italy. You can do the vatican in a day and everything else in a day. Its all close together (Colloseum, ruins, etc) and is soooo touristy and crowded. And then a third day for pompei. If youre going all the way down to pompei I would shave a day off of venice and rome and spend two days in Positano, Capri, or Ravello. Lastly, I would switch three days in florence to one or 1.5 days in florence and 1.5-2 days in tuscany. Specifically Montalcino and Montepulciano. Just my personal opinions! Enjoy your trip!

Hello,

My husband, my mom (75) and I will be spending 1 or 2 nights in 5T.

I would like to know if you can help me:

1) To find a hotel/apartment for not more that $100 in Riomaggiore. We have a car, our idea is to drive from Genoa, park the car at the hotel, and start from there.

2) What should we do? Train to the North and boat back to the South? Or the opposite?

3) Do I need to buy tickets in advance?

4) Can you tell me the name/website of the train?

5) Can you suggest me a non expensive boat?

Anyway, I have questions about parkings at CT. I will driving to CT from Venice, then to Pisa and finally to Florence. While I am at CT I am planning to drive as well. Tho, can I park at the train stations at Riomaggiore or Monterosso? On my first day I will eat at Ristorante Cappun Magru, do they have parkings available? I was actually planning to park my car there then walk down to Manarola. You think the owner will have a problem with it?

Hi Maggie

We have a similar plan as yours- drive from Venice to CT and then to Rome. Can you share your experiences regarding car travel and parking around CT. We are planning this Vacation in June 1st week.

Ciao,

Sorry we are full for the dates you requested! I can recommend a beautiful place called alloscalo, its situated at the marina, so the views are breathtaking, and the interior of the rooms are finished with the highest standard.

Hi Constantine!

As Christina mentioned in her email to Katie, Allo Scalo dei Mille has great, beautifully restructured rooms with sea views right in the marina. Other fantastic options in Riomaggiore are Alla Marina and Casa Lorenza (a personal favourite of mine).

Hi

Just wondered if you could recommend anywhere traditional to stay as the one you put on your website Is full

I wanted to let you know your website is fab, very informative

Regards lorraine

Hi Sezen!

It takes about an hour to get from Portofino to the Cinque Terre, so you could spend one or even two of your three days exploring all five towns. Portofino is gorgeous and tiny, so one day is more than enough time to get to know it quite well.

Did you ever figure out the best way to get in and out of Cinque Terre?

I will be arriving from Como, Italy and then heading to Rome.

Is La Spezia the correct place to enter and exit? Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi Virginia!

Your best resource is the Trenitalia website: Remember to type in the names of the cities in Italian (Venezia instead of Venice, Roma instead of Rome), and then click on the arrow under Changes in the Duration column for each selection for specific information on schedules.

Hoping to visit in early Sept.2014. Is the weather still good then, are the schools in Europe back in session? My husband will not be able to hike the trails,but will a single person be ok hiking? He has leg problems , will he be ok to walk around the villages, meaning the rocks,paths, stairs and streets ok to maneuver?

Any suggestions would be great. thanks

Hi Jess, I am planning a trip with my husband and sister in law to Italy in 2015. Our trip sounds much like yours.

Did you go already and do you have any tips on the sequence and duration of your trip?
