I found the Berbers quite good because it doesn't take much to get control of north west africa and then just go to spain and go ham

Never auto resolve while playing as them. You’ll get wrecked even with favourable balance of power.

Since the Berbers all have Arabic sounding names, I have a special tactic when I play as them: a reverse Muslim conquests. Starting with Spain and Africa, and then moving east into Persian and Byzantine territory in the east.

Such a bizarre faction, it's easy to see in battle why they weren't playable. I recall one of the cavalry units simply not even attacking in battles, might be the chieftain.

2:20 "Axmen are kind of inherently offensive." Excuse me? I have ancestors who were axmen.

Hi Lugo. You are right the are very unique faction and one very fun to use. I have some tips that can be useful: - Never autoresolve against romans, specially in sieges. - Never send an army without a general. They will lose even with numbers in their favor. - Used ranged units to weak the enemy and attack with cavalry from behind. - Fight mostly in open field. Their units have very good stamina and speed. - Go to Corduba first and take the whole Iberian Peninsula before go east. - You will need camels against the ERE and Sassanids. Liked or not. - They are a full Christian faction so eliminate the other religions asap when taking cities. I hope one day see you play a campaign with them.

In regards to watchtowers making money that might be down to the fact that rebel armies love to stand on watchtowers over roads and farmland. This means that the tower won't give you anymore sight but there'll be less devastation and land trade won't be blocked so you'll get more money than if you didn't have a watchtower. That's what I think anyway.

I've been wait for this one. Good job dude, really helpful.

Berbers > Numidia, for one simple saving grace... Horse archers. I'm not sure about other people but give me the crappiest horse archer units and I can take armies to Hell and back through even 10 to 1 odds, and when they run out of ammo simply withdraw, rinse and repeat or if the enemy is too tired and slow you're able to easily outflank and surround with the light fast infantry, this faction is not easy and if you attack head on you will die 9 times out of 10, no armour isn't always bad, who needs armour if you never get caught? This faction is all or nothing when you decide to throw your infantry in the mix, your general is too important to lose to keep exposing to constant danger and you need your cav to skirmish and pepper the enemy with missiles so they can't engage in prolonged melee, your inf can't either but long story short this faction will either be a cakewalk or Hell on Earth depending how good you are at wearing an army down and dodging their heavy hitting units. Ambush, fight dirty and you don't ever want to be in a fair 1v1 with these units and if you enjoy guerrilla warfare you will love this faction.

Basically the Berbers are a sort of Hit and Run faction. Rely on their mobility

I liked numida for being hard to play. So I ended up liking the bebers too. Tho I mostly like how they look too.

Thanks for update video about funniest faction in RTW:BI. Also, try correct your description. Its say Sarmatian instead Berbers

Your first instinct will almost certainly be to expand into north africa. Unfortunately, african provinces are incredibly wide, giving massive distance to capital penalties in carthage despite only being one province away! Instead, beat the Ummayads to the punch and invade Iberia. Not only are the Iberian provinces closer to your capitol, they're also rather wealthy and often undefended. Most notably, the Iberian peninsula's province setup allows you to hold back the WRE with only one settlement. After taking Iberia, then take Carthage, Leptis magna, and Sardinia. You should now be holding 9 regions: 4 in Africa, 4 in Iberia, and Sardinia. Alexandria is the last settlement you need to take to win, a naval invasion circumventing cyrenica can easily catch the ERE off guard.

The Roman rebels left Rome abandoned and I just moved in right after I took Carthage.

Love your videos! Please do the Celts next!

Hillmen do great javelin damage and can hold a line okay. Berber Axemen can do well against legionaries with flanking. Mountain Men are pointless. The best Berber unit is their cavalry archers. A must for the Berbers is to capture Roman cities with experience granting temples and foundries, since otherwise your units are naked and terrible.

BRO PLEASE FUCKING DO A HUNS GUIDE BIG BOI

You should play one of the Mods like Total Realism, Roma Serrectum or Europa Barbourum. They attempt to make the game and factions more historically authentic than base Rome Total War whilst keeping the gameplay and the factions interesting enough to keep players engaged.

Please lugotorix do a Celtic video it would be a great help

There are those in the mountains..

For some reason I conquered Cordoba on third turn and it gave me around 3.6k (!!!) denarii while the population was +8%!!! Don't know if it's a bugged instalation of mine or simply because they weren't meant to be playable.

The province of "Africa" they need to win the game is Carthage. Africa was the name of the Roman province around the city of Carthage (their first province in the African continent, roughly modern day Tunisia). The name was applied to that region and, later on, to the whole continent, which was called Libya previously.

Moorish Raiders are pretty good. The rest of the Berbers' roster sucks big time, unfortunately. I've still got an unfinished VH/VH campaign with these guys going and I'm currently fighting the Lombardi in Gaul, and they're giving me so much trouble. Their Chosen Axemen and Chosen Archers can just wreck everything I throw against them, except for my Moorish Raiders.

Lugotorix nos podes facilita el link para descargar el Rome barbarian invasión para Android la apk gratis para celulares te agradeceríamos algunos somos fanáticos de la saga pero se nos complica para adquirir la app paga y no tenemos computadora algunos, sería como un héroe bro

Bruh the Huns and the Franks are unstoppable, I had captured Cordoba and Carthage Nova and the huns just took dem both. Had to restarte the entire game coz dimidi and tingi were financially unstable, but this time I had to deal with franks instead. Advice; don't conquer Spain coz suffering is awaiting you lol. Stick with Rome and Egypt.

The hillmen don't have that good of morale they lost 50 units and routed

its a shame this is the only arbaic like faction,and weirldy enough they are christians
