Note: there is no civil war in this campaign. History buffs may appreciate the little quotes from Caesar’s Gallic Wars which appear throughout the campaign. I recommend building lots of farms and farm boosters because trade is less of an option. Do I want to build new units, new buildings, or get a useful tech? The economy is quite reasonable on hard mode too, not too restrictive and not overly generous. It adds a third choice into the spending decisions and in my opinion that makes the strategy portion fly in a way which the others do not. The research system is has a small yet nice modification: you can buy half of the techs for immediate bonuses. You need to be aware of the time of year and plan for it in a way which the Total War series has never previously asked of the player. Spring, summer and autumn all have interesting, if less pronounced, effects. Set foot outside of your cities when the bad weather arrives and you will take losses as you march.

Special mention needs to go to the season system the version seen in the other campaigns is a watered-down version of Caesar in Gaul‘s. Not the Britons, disappointingly I’d have liked to go fully Reverse-Caesar and this is the one area where I feel let down by this DLC. Playable factions include Rome, Suebi, and two Gaulish factions. If you do not enjoy fighting against lots of Gauls you will hate this because most of the factions on the map are, unsurprisingly, Gauls. The map is the most Shogun II-esque in terms of providing choke-point geography and interesting routes.Ĭaesar in Gaul is small in scale in terms of faction variety as well it’s Romans versus Gauls with a smattering of Britons and Germans. The smaller scale makes the map very intimate, and each new advance feels like a good step forward. The victory requirements are low at only 28 cities for victory instead of the more usual 50. The map comprises of around 50 cities in total, so it’s more than capable of portraying the geography of the area. The map is a very zoomed-in version of France with a bit of Germany, Italy and Britain on the edges. This is the smallest scale out of all of those available.

Here’s a brief run-down of them all, in order of release.Ĭaesar in Gaul is my current favourite out of the Rome II campaigns which I have played. I have seen a lot of people asking about the various DLC campaigns for Total War: Rome II lately. Rome II has smartened up considerably since its release the article below discusses its add-on campaigns.

If you're still short on provinces, conquer poorly defended Carthaginian cities, starting with Caralis on the nearby island of Sardinia.Matchsticks for my Eyes is pleased to present the latest guest post by Rachel “frogbeastegg” McFadden, author of Frogbeastegg’s Guides to Total War.

If necessary, ally with the Germans for help against the British - but keep an eye out for poorly defended German towns, which may be your final couple provinces.

Do not blockade Londinium until the Senate offers you a reward for doing so. Blockading ports will greatly weaken the Briton economy, but if you're struggling with finances you may want to stick to land for the short campaign.

Naval warfare in this area is dangerous.

Recruit more missile troops to wear them down before they charge.

The Britons' chariot has a terrible effect on your morale.

Make them your next target, keeping the following in mind: In most games, the Britons will have a substantial presence on the continent by now, and will likely attack you even if you attempt to ally yourself with them. Once Gaul is defeated, your cities are relatively happy, and your armies are back up to full strength, all you need to do is conquer provinces until you have fifteen of them.
