I remember in Rome: Total war my favourite defensive tactic was to attack an enemy army which sieged my city with garrisoned troops, then get a single light cavalry unit outside the city and proceed to run around it in circles. Of course enemy army could not stand such provocative actions, and as they had no siege equipment built yet, they just swarmed the cavalry. But alas, light cavalry can outrun pretty much anything. Meanwhile my towers used their infinite supply of arrows to rain them down upon enemies, which suddenly walked into their range. Best thing, it did not cost much movement points to make such an attack, so i could make about 10 glorious battles per turn. By the time enemy had the siege equipment ready, they usually had a sudden change of mind, but alas it was too late...
My offensive siege strategy was essentially the opposite. I would walk my army randomly outside their town just out of range of the towers. Eventually their constant repositioning would both wear their soldiers out (mine are walking not running and stopping so they're fine) and open up a gap in their line somewhere. At this point I will run a disposable unit to the wall, climb it, and race the ai to the town square. As soon as the capture timer pops up, I run away and try to escape the city with the unit. The AI then determines I am on the edge of capturing their town square and winning so the move all of their troops to defend the center. I block all the exits with heavy infantry and then begin hammering their blob with missile units and artillery. I have won 10 to 1 odds on sieges with this though it does require a fairly specifically tailored army.
Dearest Spiff, today I learned that if you press backspace during the turn of the AI on the campaign map, you can skip their entire turn rendering them unable to do anything. This also works in Warhammer II. God save the Queen.
Drink tea and you will soon have your sense of reason back my friend. Joining spiff's invisible yeet stick squad is the calling of everyone in existence.
Ah, yes. The broken mechanic from rome 2 when you could have 2-3 agents and they destroyed armies by poisoning food that was later removed due to the cheese, let's add it again to the new game with no changes whatsoever
This game is basically "Yall remember how we badly fucked up Rome 2 on launched and had to spend a ton of resources to fix it to make it a good game" "Lets do it again"
Exciting development. I've ordered some Yorkshire Gold tea (over 200 bags of it), some mugs and an electric kettle (still quarantined). They will be here in two days. I will now be enjoying Spiff as he embarks on his game breaking adventures with tea in hand. Can't wait.
For anyone wanting to break the game easier - build temples of Apollo before recruiting spies. With those and a few other buffs, you can recruit agents at max level, meaning they can pick the guaranteed poison well success perk right from the start. Game balance at its finest!

You know how games have things like spellblades? Wells this is the brand new Archerblade. They fire swords instead of arrows from their bow. Just don't ask where they keep the extra swords, it's a....sore subject.
So you're telling me the AI exploits the weakness in the behavior of the other AI? This means the AI is capable of doing what the player is capable of doing. Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
Twice? This same bug basically goes back to at least Medieval 2 in some form. While the underflow error variant is possibly new, exploiting the AI to give you absolutely everything definitely isn't. I specifically remember finding some way to buy the entire world as both Venice and Ireland in M2, have every AI paying me basically their entire income in shogun 2, owning literally everything in Empire and having so much money as Sparta in Rome 2 that I could just hire a new general, instantly recruit an entire mercenary army, and repeat said process like 4 times every turn in order to just auto-resolve every war. Total war as a series is ridiculously exploitable if you go to look for it, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen a single game that had a "diplomacy" mechanic that WASN'T exploitable. At the very least, the AI will almost always be fine with you acting as a "International Bank" ...which when you abuse to have trade deals going with every single AI in the game, very quickly results in you making more money per turn than anything in the game is worth. (which was hilarious when playing as Venice in M2, since it's totally historically accurate lol.)
Spiff is a youtuber who has burried himself deep into my heart. With him i enjoy exploring games that i dont normally give a crap about. Easily my favorite subscribtion.

On normal, pretty much. You’ll basically never be able to push them below 1 stack. Legendary, they are given massive bonuses to upkeep and income, so a single settlement can support a LOT of armies
You know, i actually think the economy thing isn't so much a bug as a really really genius way of portraying generous (basically hand-out) trade-deals between friendly allies. Perhaps they were offering to take a small number of your Ithacan fish off you in exchange for large numbers of grain from the mainland? Mostly as a way to help you out.

I was also able to vassalize Lycia even though they were more powerful than me. They were at war with Troy and Dardania, so I assume they wanted to vassal to escape a war they were losing. They seceded from me after 3 turns and became my first antagonist. I just finally beat them with my army of vassals (mainly my homie Odysessus of Ithaca) after a long and bloody war. I havent even started war with Troy yet. I'm on turn 184. I love this game.
Thank you Spiff. Never did an exploit before, but this is realy fun. I was laughing my ars off when I was able to get 10 vassals with that trade exploit, because the +50 points cancel out the malus of minor factions for becoming a vassal. Even got one to join my confederation.
